Girl and city settle suit over seats in theatre

ArticleThe city puts a young lady in a wheelchair at the back of the bus(theater) to save a dollar, and the story ends by costing the city $190,000.
Let’s see, in January 2008 lawyer makes administrative claim for a teenage girl in wheelchair so she could see the theater from the orchestra section. It would have cost city $80,000 to make necessary repairs. But the city let the time for reply lapse (translate- ignored it). Mother and daughter sue and the city settles the suit for the $80,000 in repairs plus another $190,000 because they let time “lapse”. One definition of lapse is “to stop doing something gradually”. It seems the powers that be are very good at stopping doing something gradually. Is this why nothing gets done in Sacramento?
The icing on the cake is they do it in response to a suit over a disabled girl’s wish to see the theater. What will it be next? Eliminating safe crossings for kindergartners.
Save some pocket change, forget the people and keep the royal kingdom of the High Council of Cronies in Ol’ Sack bumping along. One step forward and two back.
