60 minutes this Sunday had a very interesting segment on ADA and lawyers suing thousands of business. Law suits were often in the name of a single client they contracted to bring the suit with the promise of giving the client X dollars per suit. Many/most of the business never had a single complaint from an actual customer. The lawyers actual fly drones and use google earth to search business for infractions such as a pool without a handicap lift. This appears to be their full time business. The ADA recommendations (?) are extremely detailed and cover things most people never even thought about. Many of which I'm sure are valid points. When the lawyers are ready to bring suit on a business they often send their contracted client to make a purchase and get a time stamped receipt proving they were in the store. 60 minutes interview with some of the contracted clients said they did it to improve conditions for the handicap but these clients have said they instead experienced growing resentment by business and often they don't get the $ they contracted for.
60 Minutes closing statement was get ready if your community hasn't been affected its coming. Sounds familiar doesn't it. Really worth watching the show if you can find it.
What's a "drive-by lawsuit"? - CBS News
My 2 cents as most people > AWFUL to let so few, destroy something so good for so many. Sure would like to hear the other side of the story how their actions justify the closing of the VLC and loss of jobs and their children not being able to attend The Villages School (which believe me is a big deal), if there is a story worth hearing.
