No we are not! He's been terrible for staff and students. He was only here for his own self-interests and to protect the billionaires, through anonymous donations, that live here!

A Better Meaning To The Words, OF THE PEOPLE,BY THE PEOPLE
When can we get attention to the barriers the disabled face in access to healthcare? Telehealth is the go-to accommodation for disabled healthcare, and I am personally shoved that direction repeatedly. Quick question, how do you do your own surgery via telehealth? Your own exams? Your own lab draws? This is a recurring problem, one which I brought to your attention four years ago, specifically addressing invisible-yet-physical barriers to healthcare such as the use of fragrances and essential oils in the building. Being fragrance-free facilities should be an obvious step for healthcare, with a third of the population reacting to fragrances and/or essential oils, yet there is no law forcing them to be fragrance free. When I brought this to your office, I was told that we have the ADA and to use that law and that no one else was doing state-level law and so you wouldn't either. Now with attacks on 504, the disabled are left with gutless ADA pseudolaw that has no functional enforcement. We are not getting the healthcare we need and are dying as a result. When will your office step up and introduce a bill for healthcare to be fragrance free and actually accessible?
Thanks, Senator Sean McCann
