(((((YEE HAH—I’m Bill Zortman and on the Morning After—a long Republican chase---we have a winner---with some guy named Dan Ahlers straight ahead for the Democrats in their hope of capturing the Governor’s Chair---in the general election---

So as he has been for a good part of this political pitter-pattering—Casey Crabtree is here bright and early as our first guest in the 10:00 hour—to share what just happened and why----and what still lies ahead with a Dan Ahlers looking to become Governor----

-------------------Casey-------------------

What happened to the Aberdeen contender who was better than Dusty Johnson in the primary----and for Mr. Doeden---it has many telling us his wife was a better candidate than he was coming down the stretch---

---------------Casey----------------------

   For those that don’t know tell us who Dan Ahlers is and what he has to do in November to beat a Tax KING in Larry Rhoden---

---------------Casey-----------------------

  Key issues you see for Ahlers-Rhoden----chances for Ahlers---Slim and None—or perhaps he has a few issues in his back pocket?

---------------Casey------------------------

   What does Governor Rhoden do before the fall election to make sure people thing he is all he talked about he was during a long campaign---

x----it legally has protections that ensure people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else

• Public building accessibility and designated parking—removing physical barriers that can impact anyone at any time—about 1 in 4 adults lives with a disability and everyone ages
• Public transportation—rider info available in braille, large print, e-format, lifts and ramps allowing time to board and exit allowing as well service animals
• Workplace rights—prohibiting job discrimination requiring employers to make reasonable accommodations which are usually less than $200
• The media and communications must relay services and closed captioning
• People with disabilities are great problem solvers—every day they navigate a world that doesn’t always have them top of mind—we can all work together to be inclusive and make reasonable accommodations for people
• Accessibility is about belonging and contributing---
• Common ground IS MORE prevalent than differences—
