Their latest solution was a plan to to set up a permit system for using a Segway as an EPAMD and it sounded like they did not want to include nature trails or anything except areas already meeting ADA accessible standards. And there are all too few of those considering the size of this state...especially if you are not a hunter or fisherman.
I have no compaint with the local officials but their hands have been tied...
I tried to get it worked out without going formal but my 180 day window for filing was rapidly disappearing....
I thought these did get considered or maybe they are not all considered significant enough to deal with at least in a newsworthy fashion.... guess I am naive. The Missouri Human Rights complaint warned that it would be several months before you hear anything--and please don't call us in the meantime!

Lily,
I should not have implied that the complaints go without consideration, poor choice of words on my part. The complaints get read but government moves at it's own pace...
It's still important that you filed your complaint. In the end numbers count.
Be Big,
AMAC
