Supervisor Bass asks community's help for long term solution to end predatory lawsuits

Supervisor Virginia Bass, Supervisor Rex Bohn and Chris Kerrigan were present outside the courthouse along with other concerned citizens and business owners in a protest against Jason Singleton organized by a local citizen. Virginia took this opportunity to pass out a handout in which she is asking the community to contact her if they are interested in being a part of long term solutions to benefit both people with disabilities and business owner.

After the first of the year, she will be convening a group and her plan is to include representatives of local businesses, the legal profession, contractors, people with disabilities, local government and interested citizens.

In her handout, she did not single out Mr. Singleton or lawyers, she simply raised some questions and expressed some thoughts.

One concept Virginia wants to pursue is a concept of a revolving loan fund to help small businesses accomplish ADA upgrades and also work with State Representatives to improve existing legislation. For the entire handout or Virginia's thoughts on this, pleas email her at vbass@co.humboldt.ca.us.
