And how much money was spent fighting this by the powers that be?


This is why the MCB was destroyed by those powers.

Michigan appeals court scratches $475K award for blind food vendor Associated Press The Michigan appeals court has thrown out a decision awarding $475,000

to a blind man who sold food and objected to competition at a state building in Detroit. The court says the Michigan Commission for the Blind can't be

ordered to make financial awards. It reversed a decision by Ingham County Judge Paula Manderfield. Ron Fellows had vending machines and sold coffee at

Cadillac Place from 2005 to 2008. He was unhappy because the state also allowed non-blind businesses to operate in the building, including Subway. Michigan

law says blind people shall operate snack shops in state buildings. But the other businesses already had leases before the state moved into Cadillac Place,

the former headquarters of General Motors.
