Ind. Gov't. - Attorney: Steuben County Must Provide Golf Cart For Disabled Camper

This today from WLKI 100.3 in NE Indiana:

(ANGOLA) - County Commissioners were told by Attorney Don Stuckey on Monday morning they had to accomodate a man who wanted to use a golf cart at the Steuben County Park due to his disability.

Stuckey cited the Americans With Disabilities Act in making his judgement. He said the county would have to accomodate the man unless they can prove there was a public safety issue. Stuckey felt that would be tough to do given the park's terrain. He also pointed out the county has a greater burden since it was a government entity.

Through its redvelopment project at the park, the county is in the process of making it A.D.A. compliant.

Donald J. Stuckey is the Steuben County Attomey.
