[nfbmi-talk] open question for all here?

[joe harcz Comcast]

The retaliation you mention goes to the very core of the ADA/504 violations 
for retaliation against one for making an accommodation is strictly 
prohibited and actionable.

In fact a special ed teacher in the Portland Oregon School District won a 
one million dollar lawsuit because the district retaliated against her for 
making complaints on behalf of her students.

Moreover, many of these things have been brought up specificially over the 
years at public meetings and sho a pattern and practice of discrimination on 
these issues. Note: two sighted parents alone referenced some of them at the 
last meeting. Even they weren't afforded CAP or revioiew rights on disputes.

Oh yes those same minutes have not been remitted to me upon requests or 
posted to the web site as Mr. Rodgers told you they would be.

I did get a bill for $60 one some in the past which is clearly illegal.
