The Question
What have you done—and
what will you do in Congress—to safeguard and expand the rights,
services and community participation of people with disabilities
in Minnesota?
Fine's Response
The Americans with Disabilities Act has been a true
success story for sensible legislation that has helped level the
playing field for individuals who have disabilities. This is exactly
the kind of bipartisan cooperation that is sorely missing in Washington
and marks the greatest contrast between me and my opponent. There
are common sense, mainstream solutions to some of our most difficult
problems, solutions which are often pushed aside in the name of partisanship.
As a business professional and a senior lecturer at the Carlson
School of Management, I have always worked to make appropriate accommodations
for persons with disabilities. The ADA is not a static law, and new
technologies require a renewed effort to ensure a level playing field.
As the 5th Congressional District Congress-person, I will always
work to strengthen and enhance the ADA as a safeguard for the disabled.
