I heard that “government by anecdote” is expensive and impractical

Deborah Chamberlain’s histrionic community column in the
“The next time you realize you have transportation to go anywhere you want when you want, sildenafil store you might want to give County Executive Scott Walker a call. The blind and visually impaired deserve that, salve too.”
[Sarcasm on.]
I didn’t realize ensuring curb-to-curb service anywhere in the Milwaukee-area for the visually impaired was a primary goal of our public transportation system. Are we sure the current network already provides such service to all those in need? If not, medicine we better start re-routing buses immediately.
[Sarcasm off.]
Personal anecdotes like these make for great copy and lousy policy.

I presume you’ve already heard of the disability act. It actually does require that sort of thing.

The Americans With Disabilities Act requires that public transportation be accessible, not excessive. Nice try, though. ;)

It wasn’t excessive, til the bus line got cut.
