Robin Vos Says People In Wheelchairs Should Not Be Elected

 

     Jimmy P. Anderson is a Democratic lawmaker in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Aside from being paralyzed from the waist down after being hit by a drunk driver,  he lost both his parents and his younger brother. Rather than being accomodating, Robin Vos decided to not allow Anderson to phone into a legislative session when he was unable to make it to the state capitol.

     The only paralyzed lawmaker in the state was effectively prevented from participating in the roles of the office to which he was elected because the Assembly Speaker, that being you, Mr. Vos, decided to discriminate based on his disability.
