To the Editor:
Regarding the passage of the “In God We Trust” resolution: I want to be the next to add a sign to the top of courthouse since we can now put signs on the courthouse in Anderson County.
I want to have a sign placed on the top of the courthouse stating that Anderson County is in full support of the enforcement of the ADA civil rights laws (Americans with Disabilities Act) passed in 2011.
Failure to do this will say that you are in opposition to the ADA civil rights laws.
I will gladly design the sign to incorporate a wheelchair and people walking with crutches.
I have people who have said they are willing to contribute money to see this come into fruition.

Sounds like a great idea to me. This area needs a reminder of the ADA. I have never seen this many stores that aren’t handicap accessible. Ramps, if they exist, are small and hidden somewhere. Sidewalks often times have curbs you have to go down and then back up to cross a driveway. A very non friendly wheel chair layout, in my book.
