Belated Valentine to Metro Staff

Attention Comrades!

I just attempted to leave the following comment on the Cap Metro Blog.  To put it in perspective, the last post is about no snarky comments being made about some stupid contest Metro ran for Valentines Day.  Are people actually getting paid to come up with this kind of time wasting nonsense?  I guess the idea is a product of Metro's much vaunted PR department.  Note to the peeps:  Here's a more productive use of staff time and money.  I doubt I was actually able to post this on the Metro blog because of a crappy audio CAPTCHA, something the Access committee warned staff about last year when the blog was first mentioned.

Howdy Comrades!

I can't resist attempting to make a snarky comment.  My love for Capital Metro would be greatly increased if Metro staff would provide important information about their plans for the stimulus money we want since the President just signed the Economic Recovery Act.  These funds are a kind of valentine from the Feds with a great deal of potential for improving Metro Access, Metro Bus and Metro Rail.  The information should be available to all citizens, including those who are blind. Yes, I want the information in Braille.  After all, we recently celebrated the 200th birthday of Louis Braille, and Title II of the ADA requires it; not to mention the mediation agreement with Metro Access plaintiffs.  Moreover, the information on this website should fully comply with Section 508 of the Rehab Act, as amended.  It hasn't happened yet, and there's no excuse to justify this lack of compliance.  Peace and long life!

Regards,

Chairman Mal

Power to the Peeps!
