You made Vermont's first binding presidential primary a successful event by which all future primaries will be measured. We are proud of the neutrality you displayed throughout the process. As you review this month's guest column on Disabilities and the Law, please keep in mind that what is required is a responsive and good-faith effort to provide reasonable accommodations.
Help is available.
While it is clearly beyond the financial power of our municipalities to prepare for all theoretically possible disabilities in advance, we do have an obligation to think out how we can promptly respond to the relatively few types of requests we are likely to get. In other words, we aren't required to have full access ready by yesterday, but we are required to be responsive today and to make a good-faith planning effort for tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing you at the University of Vermont Extension System election training forums in coming days. Your feedback on the recent election is important to us. Join us on March 19 in Fairlee, March 20 in Brattleboro, March 27 in Rutland, March 28 in Burlington and April 2 in Lyndonville.
