[nfbmi-talk] open question for all here?

[Terry D. Eagle]

While it is worthwhile to identify and document individual violations of
Rehabilitation, accessibility, and other BS4BP arbitrary, capricious, and
intentional indifference to the laws and regulations associated with
providing the services that BS4BP is charged with providing, I am certain it
is not a good idea to publicly identify the persons whom have had their
rights violated, as that would subject them to BS4BP retaliation, or the
BS4BP would attempt to silence those persons with hush money and/or
equipment of their choosing, as was done with the individuals from Detroit's
Advocates for the Blind, as the way to deal with lack of services.  In
addition, those of us affiliated with NFB get the shaft individually and
collectively, while the blind sell-outs get the gold mine, in services and
state employment.

For too long we all get isolated from each other in working for our own
issues relative to BSBP. One of the things required under the Rehabilitation
Act is that all information from the point of application through closure of
a VR case is supposed to be made in accessible format, and one that is most
effective for the individual (it is called primary consideration under
relevent provisions of the Rehab Act including Section 504 and also under
the ADA, Title II).

Now our stallwart brother Terry Eagle referenced this requirement when
inquiring and holding Rodgers accountable on this issue alone when he said,
that we sign or are forced to sign IPEs we cannot read.

Moreover, all of our rights to CAP, Administrative Reviews, Administrative
Hearings and all that are supposed to be clearly deliniated under law. Yet,
we know that doesn't happen and they are not given in accessible format
either!

Over and over agai if folks have issues in the VR process here we hear this,
"Send it up to Leemon Jones".

Well this ain't due process and is a continued violation of law and equity
and even common sense.

So here is the deal....Let's put our requests for these rights on this list
or even off list so that these parties might finally get sued and for their
chronic and pernicious violations of law and so that this thing might
finally be brought in to compliance for the benefit of all of Michigan's
blind people.
