This stuff really frosts me. I have empathy for disabled people, but why should 99.9% of the people in this country indirectly pay for their access to a POOL? We aren’t talking about a fundamental right. It’s a freaking POOL.
99% of these things will never be used after they are installed. Just a waste of money.
More kids will get hurt playing on them than any benefit they might have.
Speaking of which, will they be using their battery powered wheelchairs in the pool?
Or will they have to 'buy' a new Waterproof model?

I ran for school committee in the commie town I grew up in, to get some revenge. It was a suicide campaign.
Anyway, at a candidate’s roundtable interview with the local rag, we were asked about the cost of handicap-accessibility. After the others genuflected before unlimited spending, I suggested that in the rare event that there is a wheelchair-bound student, classes could be shifted around to a couple of handicap-accessible rooms.
Surprisingly, the reporter was visibly impressed. Not surprisingly, there was no mention of this idea in the news story.
Of course, it’s a moot point with the handicap laws, but the purpose of my campaign was to plant a virus in the computer.
