[nfbmi-talk] Fw: Fw: your complaints

[joe harcz Comcast]

Yes, and she is a political appointee who also is Deputy Director of 
Operations for DTMB. Her past was as a Democratic Campaign consultent. She 
worked for Bernaro's Democratic opponent. But then she shifted to the Snyder 
Campaign for Governor in a paid staff position.

Then when folks like myself kept going after the State on ADA issues, 
especially when I went after the Michigan Civil Rights Commission itself she 
came up in this position.

Note again I've filed complaints with her and Rogers invoked her at our NFB 
convention too.

But, here is something very important. Remember the first Executive Order 
2012-2 which we got nixed? And remember that DTMB wanted to steal the BEP 
program and Dan Frye and others told them they couldn't do that?

Well I requested the e-mails associated with that fiasco and finally did get 
them. I posted them to this list mlast year.

Anyway it is very revealing to look at who is copied on these e-mails. In 
fact that often is as important as the content of the messages. Anyway who 
was one of the key people copied? That's right Sharon Ellis in DTMB as well 
as the likes of David Murley in the Governor's legal office which is the 
same office where Cheri Arwood works!


So connecting the dots here there is a clear synergy between Steve Arwood 
who heads LARA and is a known violator of blind rights and a hater of the 
BEP, though he loves the federal funds and the DTMB which is a serial 
violator of the ADA and also has always wanted to exploit the BEP program 
for its funding. We all know of the meddling of DTMB.

Joe
