USA Today - today

The head of the *National Federation of the
Blind*<javascript:siteSearch('National Federation of the Blind');>says
the federal judge who ordered that
U.S. paper currency be changed to accommodate the blind was wrong. *Marc
Maurer* <javascript:siteSearch('Marc Maurer');> writes in USA Today that
Judge James Robertson's ruling that currency discriminates against blind
people is untrue, saying blind people are not barred from spending money,
and in fact have ways of using it effectively.


Maurer says the cost to society of changing currency would be much greater
than the benefit to the blind. And he says that the idea, "implies that we
can't look out for our own best interests and are generally helpless and
incompetent."
