This should disgust everyone. First, of all this is segregated employment and why a Center for Independent Living would be involved in that defies the integration mandate of the ADA and Employment First principles.

 

Moreover, Peckham is still being investigated for fraud by the Department of Justice.

 

Finally the transportation alluded to in the last sentence is typical Peckham horse hockey. They give away nothing. The transportation is from my Mass Transportation Authority and funded with taxpayer’s dollars. Moreover, the workers will pay $80 per month for this transportation.
