[nagdu] Recent DOJ Activity Concerning Service Animals

[David Baker]

Rebecca said, "... you said that signs could go up to resolve a guide dog issue
but that employees could find other ways to not follow the law ..."

'Nope.  'Not what I said.

Just like the government can avoid enforcing its own rules, so can businesses.
Rules that aren't communicated and posters put behind doors or placed inside
cabinets don't help a lot.  Who is around to enforce the agreements that are
made with the Justice Department?  That was the point I was trying to make,
Rebecca.  Without costly monetary damages that are communicated well, I don't
believe that we can get broad compliance from small business owners.  The flip
side of that coin is that getting those damages takes a lot of resources and
judges are not going to give large monetary awards unless the facts of the cases
are strong.
