FREEPORT, MAINE — Months after a Freeport woman with severe multiple sclerosis filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination by town officials, the Town Council at 7 p.m. Tuesday will consider adopting an Americans with Disabilities Act policy for the town.
At Tuesday’s meeting, councilors also are scheduled to consider other agenda items related to the disabilities act and human rights.
In May, Marianne McGettigan confirmed that she filed a complaint against Freeport municipal government after she said she was not able to sign a petition because the town clerk had been given no information about accommodations.
On Tuesday, the council will consider action relative to adopting an Americans with Disabilities Act policy for the town, and action relative to approving a form to provide “Notice under the Maine Human Rights and Americans with Disabilities Acts.”
