Little noticed by most is the importance of the ADA and its impact on making life accessible to ALL.
.
When Middleboro's Town Hall was renovated, the parking lot was re-paved and the pavement markings were painted. The HP spaces were appropriately marked on the pavement.
.
Repeated requests to re-install the vertical markers were ignored.
.
Since important meetings transpire at night, sometimes in the rain or with snow-covered ground, the pavement marking was frequently obscured.
.
A written request was filed with Mr. Healey, self-appointed ADA Coordinator and ignored.
.
A complaint was filed with the state that prompted a resolution, a minor project.
.
Mr. Healey's public explanation at a BOS Meeting was that the state keeps changing the laws.
.
Huh?
.
There's the oft-repeated story of Mr. Healey bursting into uproarious laughter from his office as the wheel-chair bound Commissioner tipped over because the walk was uneven.
.
Maybe that's why all of the other issues regarding flawed curb cuts and building access were dismissed or ignored by Mr. Healey: they just keep changing the laws!

Exactly what is Mr. Healey's capacity in town governings in his "retirement"? Who authorized him to work with engineers on a drainage issue? Why is he still occupying space at Town Hall? Inquiring minds want to know!

The ADA laws keep changing? I don't think so! Pretty lame response for failing to comply if you ask me. Mr. Healey has left behind a questionable legacy at best.
Fuzzy Wuzzy Jack!
I remember the mess about the Bank Building entrance and it's still not correct, but then no one could tell Mr. Healey anything. He ruled.
Laughing when someone tipped out of his wheelchair? Nice, real nice!
Mr. Healey
There but for the grace of God go you and I. I hope you find more compassion from others than you demonstrated when the day comes that you need it. I feel sorry for you.
There isnt a kind word I could say about the man
He wouldnt win an election in this town.
jack blamed everyone else. We noticed and don't think we didnt.
Rude and arrogant come to mind.
Contributions are being accepted to send Jack on a loooongggger trip someplace far away.
I'm in! Take his cell phone away this time-he harassed town employes last time because he coudn't give up control.
