This year, we're voting in school board races across the state, and they really matter. Go to VOTE411 to see who's on your ballot and research what they stand for. Kids can't vote, so we have to be their voice.

@DrMBotha@SingaporeAir I'd consult an attorney for a lawsuit. Not only for full replacement cost but damages due to hardship during the duration of totally eliminating your mobility, & personal health since customized wheelchairs provide physical safety and health b/c of pressure point supports.
