The Columbia County courthouse in Hudson, N.Y., finally has
a handicapped-accessible water fountain. The fountain was installed
after a now-7-year-old report noted deficiencies under the 1990
Americans with Disabilities Act. "We're doing that for every building,"
promises Public Works Commissioner David Robinson. "We want to satisfy
the settlement agreement." The new fountain may not fully satisfy the
law, however: it's on the courthouse's second floor, which is
accessible only by stairs. By the time
someone gets to the top of the stairs in a wheelchair, they're really
gonna need a drink.
