New York City: More Hostile to Disability Than Ever

Back in 1998 I was offered the job of Commissioner of the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities in New York City. I turned it down. I chose to return to teaching and went to Ohio State. Now I'm at Syracuse University and I travel to Manhattan frequently.

I'm reposting this as it's as true today as it was last week. New York City is in wholesale decline as a place for people with disabilities.
