The municipal disabilities commission is composed o more
The municipal disabilities commission is composed of volunteers. No funds were provided for their work, which included outreach, printing, distribution of information, etc. Therefore, they were encouraged by several elected officials to submit a Budget Proposal to Mayor Joseph Curtatone in time for the upcoming budget cycle. This document was also submitted to each of the Alderpeople. The only Alderperson that responded was now-Representative Denise Provost. The Mayor neither acknowledged receipt of this document nor allowed for the Commission to have a staff person, a telephone number, or a mailbox- as was automatically given to all other Boards, Commission and Authorities in the City.
This document was written, printed and distributed by Eileen Feldman, who served 2 terms as Chair of the Commission. All Commission members approved its distribution. less
