Default Lawsuit Verdict for LLC

this is from the Orlando paper in their Lake County section this morning. This was from an Commentary piece written by Lauren Ritchie.

"Whack! An Orlando jury ruled that the college, run by The Villages Charter School, had to provide interpreters for the deaf in a trial that “probably cost millions” to defend, according to one of the winning lawyers.

Jurors awarded 21 of the 30 plaintiffs a total of $212,000, a different amount for each person who deliberately was denied help U.S. law requires schools to provide when accepting federal funds, as the charter school does. The jury wisely didn’t buy the poor-mouth whining that The Villages couldn’t afford it. That’s pretty much a joke in a place where the owners are fabulously wealthy."

Didn't see anything about this in the Daily Sun....go figure.
