This was the same kind of ruse Pete deJarnutt used to support Vreeland and Lancelle's effort to build a new ocean front City Hall on the old waste water treatment plant site (Sea Level Rise hadn't been invented yet). He said that city hall was such a mess with mold and ADA non-conformance that he could not in clear conscience allow staff to work one more day in that dangerous place. <br />That was over ten years ago. <br />The lies were pouring out of Council then and they still are now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-45435126274634317532017-10-07T19:51:34.709-07:002017-10-07T19:51:34.709-07:00I do not think an elevator is practical for that o...I do not think an elevator is practical for that old building, a couple of wheelchair lifts on the stairs might work(if the stairwells are wide enough) Tom Cliffordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-68333975551409843552017-10-07T19:40:48.104-07:002017-10-07T19:40:48.104-07:00Our do-nothing 3-2 socialist council will walk rig...Our do-nothing 3-2 socialist council will walk right into this one. <br />They've villanized the business community and the working class by labeling us all Profit Above People demons.

In fact, several years ago, Louie even sued his former attorney Rein for ADA violations with respect to Reins' bathroom. These "model human beings" have made a windfall going after businesses that are too small/poor to be fully ADA compliant and are forced to settle out of court for nominal amounts. It's all about the money and nothing else. Rein made one big mistake, however. He arrogantly went after Clint Eastwood (aka, Dirty Harry) and his Mission Ranch Hotel for the usual ADA violations. Unlike the hundreds of others who weren't financially equipped to take on costly ADA litigation, Clint pulled out his forty-fives and capped Rein's ass. Before you bleeding hearts play your violins for the likes of Louie and Rein who you claim to be "heroes of the disabled", realize that neither man supported the proposed legislation that would give the alleged ADA violators 90 days to take corrective action and avoid the entire litigation morass. But neither Rein nor Louie are really interested in solving disability access problems. It's really only about them and their personal bank accounts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-44752085917215769062017-10-07T16:05:13.180-07:002017-10-07T16:05:13.180-07:00Leadership fail to not fix this years ago.
