In presenting the award, Equalizers Executive Director Carolyn Schwebel stated: "Atlantic Highlands has been more cooperative than any other area town in achieving accessibility compliance."
Hubeny responded to an ADA lawsuit not defensively, but with determined efforts to provide the fullest ADA-compliance. Schwebel stated that Adam exceeded our expectations in his empathic awareness and attention to detail of access requirements. In a recent tour of the renovated borough hall, Adam commented, “I kept saying to myself how would I feel about not having access.”

Gee, Middletown never got an award like that. Our town committee is to arrogant to follow the law and play nice with others.
When it comes to access the Middletown Township Committee thinks it more important to create accessibilty to Shadow Lake by spending $3,100,000 to dredge about 25% of it so a few people can fish; so a person can swim; so several residents' property values increase. The unspoken priority here is access to votes for the Republican Party in the upcoming November election as well as the capacity fulfill patronage obligatons.
$3,000,000 could create a lot of access for those challenged Americans living with a disability in Middletown Township, but there probably aren't as many votes there for Republicans as there are in the Shadow Lake community.
The initial $3,000,000 for partial lake restoration is just the beginning -- think cultural arts center and think cost overruns.
How much access -- parking, ramps, etc. -- will be created for those physically challenged Middletown residents?
