There was a guy around here, grumpy old man you might say, who loved to go to public meetings and raise a fuss. He blogged when no one else blogged, and he was strident in his criticism of public officials or anything else which drew his attention. He was widely regarded as a "nut". Anyway, after years of being ignored, he started coming to meetings in a wheelchair. At the end of the meetings, he would be wheeled out to his old Olds 88 where he would get out of the chair, fold the chair and lift it into the trunk of the Olds. :lol2:
He wasn't making money out of any of this, but he sure cost local govt and schools a ton of money. He learned that he could force them to get into compliance with handicap access standards. When you have a lot of old buildings, compliance costs serious cash.
