 brenda writes "I have done a few excursions to check on accessibility in our state as well as others. We showed the manager of one hotel that although it said handicapped accessible, saying is not being accessible. We had him sit on a seat in the shower, and reach for the hand shower and controls without the use of his legs. He was really amazed at his inability to function from the shower chair. One hotel in Elizabethtown, KY had 4 doors to get through in the space of 20 ft. and a ramp. You had to shift your weight in order to keep from tipping yourself over while getting in the third door. Handicapped parking was put back by the door at the back because the handicapped rooms were there, and after we showed the manager how difficult it was to get in, they moved the handicapped parking to the front of the building until they could get the entry ways changed.
I have made phone calls regarding H.R. 1621, and S.799, and ask everyone I know to make calls and send letters, explaining why this is very important to everyone, not just handicapped people.
