More monkey food for thought on this case.

Quote:
Rose says Richard is also certified as a service animal by three organizations. She says the local service animal group, the Service Animal Registry of America, and the Missouri Department of Revenue.

In fact, Richard is a restriction on Rose's driver's license.

Rose says, “I was told you can't drive anywhere without your service animal because of your disability."

Rose says it makes no sense for the state to require her to drive with Richard but she can't take him inside anywhere in Greene County.

This was done AFTER the lawsuit was filed. That's my point. The woman chose to go to court instead of pursuing the matter through normal channels. I could understand if she had done all of this beforehand, but to throw this kind of thing out after she filed is a bunch of crap. She's doing nothing more than using this as a money grab.

How do you know she didn't do this beforehand? I must have missed that.

I'm assuming that any reporter worth the money they are being paid would be asking these kind of questions. Apply a little common sense to the scenario: What's a better story? "Woman pursues all available avenues and still gets nowhere so she files a lawsuit" or "woman files a lawsuit"? What we're seeing is the latter, not the former. Any reporter with more than 3 weeks of journalism class would know to be asking if she tried to get the issue resolved because that angle changes the story from a semi-silly human interest piece to one of blatant, cold-hearted bureuacrats at work to make someone's life miserable, in spite of the persons best efforts to work out a solution.
You've gotta stop and think about these kind of things. Look at what isn't being said along with what is being said.
