Being Clever

In these difficult economic times you must use your imagination to make money. The following story is originally from the LA Times, but I saw it in the J-Walk blog.

Thomas Mundy files lawsuits to force businesses to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The targets of his litigation have called his crusade "basically extortion" and "an old Chicago-style shakedown."

One fighter in a burgeoning army of crusaders for disabled access, Mundy says he has filed more than 150 lawsuits in 18 months demanding damages from small businesses in violation of the exacting requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
