What a jerk! If there is justice he should be suspended and ordered to do "community" hours IN A W/C ! But forbid him to use curb cuts (hehe). That should teach him! Yvonne Happy to live in Ottawa where even our condo parking lots have curb cuts. :-) >>> [log in to unmask] 10/16/01 12:18PM >>> Actually, Columbus is not bad for accessibility. We've got more colleges & universities than you can shake a stick at. Plus, it's the State Capitol, making it a proving ground for issues of infrastructure--like curb cuts. Here is a link to Columbus' only daily newspaper. It's family-owned and fairly conservative in editorial and reportage of local issues. Much hay was made on the OP/ED page re: his remarks.
