-- a Philadelphia city official complaining about a driver
There is a big feud between taxi drivers and Uber drivers.
Vince Fenerty, who is the Philadelphia (PA) Parking
Authority chief, complained that one Uber driver does not
speak English. Someone pointed out to him, much to his
shock, that the driver he yelled at, was deaf!
-- cleaning up the mess
Elections are over. But the mess continues - these
old "please vote" campaign signs that are posted
everywhere - telephone poles, building walls,
street signs, etc. In Corpus Christi, Texas, who
cleans up the mess? It is the employees of the Corpus
Christi Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center! DeafDigest
is not sure why this agency is involved.
-- a problem about a vote by a deaf person
In Arkansas, a deaf person voted on Election
Day. The polling place refused to accept her
vote because of her difficulties in communicating
with the polling workers. She asked for help,
and they refused to help her. They, however,
allowed her to vote, but refused to accept it
as an official vote! That deaf woman was upset
about it.
