Chris Hoeh asks Secretary Kennealy will you meet our demands???? Secretary Kennealy never confirmed, and then told the crowd he is sorry we landed where we landed today. #SaveTheAAB
People in room keep asking because we want to know Secretary Kennealy if you appreciate accessibility in Massachusetts, is the hiring process put on hold until the AAB approves? #SaveTheAAB
Paul Spooner tells Secretary Michael Kennealy .. FULL STOP 🛑 on Baker administration hiring process until the Architectural Access Board approves! #Save accessibility for Disabled people in Massachusetts #SaveTheAAB
“The Baker administration should be looking to expanding the power of the Architectural Access Board. Instead the administration is stripping the board of its independence.” - Christopher Hoeh tells Secretary Michael Kennealy #SaveTheAAB
The independence of the Architectural Access Board allowed 75,000 disabled people to participate in the Commonwealth’s economy. Shame on Gov. Baker for putting that at risk #SaveTheAAB
Happening NOW! We are in a jam packed room with other Massachusetts Disability rights advocates to discuss the Architectural Access Board concerns #SaveTheAAB #ADAPTandRESIST
