Amending Human Rights Ordinance

This is a hearing of the Ordinance Committee of the Cambridge MA City Council held on December 12, 2007, regarding amending the city Human Rights Ordinance. The overt unlawful bias of officials and others with disabilities can be seen by the deceptive statements that the proposed amendment includes persons with non physical disabilities. It did not. It also kept the government entities in the city unaccountable for their violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the MA statute against discrimination based on disability. It shows how little city officials care about the state and US laws. It is one more shameful exercise of power by small-minded Cambridge city officials.
