How is a paralyzed person supposed to climb the 180 steps to the platform? the old forts are also impossible to maneuver in a wheelchair. The whole world has gone crazy - zero common sense left!!!

County officials need to learn that their services and information is for ALL county residents, not just those who aren't disabled. They are just one complaint away from being hammered by DOJ, as the Cities of Mobile and Fort Walton Beac have already learned...

Shame on you. Escambia County knew they had to make arrangements for disabled citizens and they dropped the ball.

Outrageous.

If they did, does the county have a case to go after that consultant for not providing them with the right information??

Should know that a website must be ADA compatible. Hold someone responsible. And fire someone. Website should be professional...it is also hard to navigate for sighted people. Near impossible to find anything. Total irresponsibility on the county’s part. Should know that a website must be ADA compatible. Hold someone responsible. And fire someone.

Did he contact the lawyer or did the lawyer contact him? If a letter was sent to the county attorney how much does that cost? Paper,ink, and a $300 stamp? Sure hope the blind man doesn't let lawyer count his money for him. That's one for you and $14000 for me. Just wondering if the county was contacted about the problem first or the lawyer?
