Home › Learning Difficulties › Legal Rights & Advocacy › Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 2004 › Understanding the Law
By Mary Durheim
Section 504 — just what exactly is it? You've probably heard about it, but every school district addresses Section 504 in a different manner. Some districts have even been heard to say, "We don't do that in this district." But in fact, compliance to Section 504, which is a federal statute, is not optional. This article attempts to answer basic questions pertaining to the implementation of Section 504 in public school systems.
Section 504 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that prohibits discrimination based upon disability. Section 504 is an anti-discrimination, civil rights statute that requires the needs of students with disabilities to be met as adequately as the needs of the non-disabled are met.
Section 504 states that: "No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States, as defined in section 706(8) of this title, shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..." [29 U.S.C. §794(a), 34 C.F.R. §104.4(a)].
To be covered under Section 504, a student must be "qualified " (which roughly equates to being between 3 and 22 years of age, depending on the program, as well as state and federal law, and must have a disability) [34 C.F.R. §104.3(k)(2)].
As defined by federal law: "An individual with a disability means any person who: (i) has a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity; (ii) has a record of such an impairment; or (iii) is regarded as having such an impairment" [34 C.F.R. §104.3(j)(1)].
An impairment as used in Section 504 may include any disability, long-term illness, or various disorder that "substantially" reduces or lessens a student's ability to access learning in the educational setting because of a learning-, behavior- or health-related condition. ["It should be emphasized that a physical or mental impairment does not constitute a disability for purposes of Section 504 unless its severity is such that it results in a substantial limitation of one or more major life activities" (Appendix A to Part 104, #3)].
Many students have conditions or disorders that are not readily apparent to others. They may include conditions such as specific learning disabilities, diabetes, epilepsy and allergies. Hidden disabilities such as low vision, poor hearing, heart disease or chronic illness may not be obvious, but if they substantially limit that child's ability to receive an appropriate education as defined by Section 504, they may be considered to have an "impairment" under Section 504 standards. As a result, these students, regardless of their intelligence, will be unable to fully demonstrate their ability or attain educational benefits equal to that of non-disabled students (The Civil Rights of Students with Hidden Disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973—Pamphlet). The definition does not set forth a list of specific diseases, conditions or disorders that constitute impairments because of the difficulty of ensuring the comprehensiveness of any such list. While the definition of a disabled person also includes specific limitations on what persons are classified as disabled under the regulations, it also specifies that only physical and mental impairments are included, thus "environmental, cultural and economic disadvantage are not in themselves covered" (Appendix A to Part 104, #3).

Good afternoon OZillians. This summer I had the oppurtunity to embark on a road trip to the far off land of the West Coast. Upon my journey I met countless of wonderful folks, some of whom knew and loved WWOZ. This was an unsuprising suprise, since we are the greatest station in the nation... But I digress.
Simply stated, they do not make them like Ready Teddy McQuiston any more. Do you hear me? They DO NOT. This was a man with more energy and more aliveness (if that's not a word, it is now) than entire counties and parishes. It's hard to believe that he's gone.
1983 Grammy winner and Blues Hall of Famer, the King of Zydeco, from Opelousas, Louisiana, here's the late great Clifton Chenier doing "Tu Peux Cogner (Mais Tu Peux Pas Rentrer)" (Keep-A-Knockin' But You Can't Come In) on Dutch television.

Lincecum scratching head over Goldschmidt
D-backs slugger has owned Giants righty, batting .522 with six homers
D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is far too humble to even touch the subject.
And Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum can't really explain it.
But there's no getting around the fact that Goldschmidt absolutely owns Lincecum, whom he will face once again Wednesday night when the D-backs and Giants hook up in the second game of this three-game set at AT&T Park.
It started in 2011 when Goldschmidt was playing in just his second game after being called up from Double-A Mobile. Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer off Lincecum in the fifth inning.
After blasting another homer and going 2-for-3 against Lincecum last week, Goldschmidt is 12-for-23 with a double and six home runs against the Giants right-hander.
"You tell me," Lincecum said after the latest home run. "I'm going to start throwing underhand to him or something. I don't know. It's a game of adjustments. He's constantly making them against me, so I've got to do the same thing against him. That will be for the next go-around."
Lincecum did not get a decision in that Thursday start as he allowed four runs on eight hits over six innings, but the very fact that he was able to take the ball at all was impressive.
Lincecum was felled by food poisoning a couple of days before that start and there was some discussion he might not be able to pitch.
In addition, Lincecum was struck on the inside of his left knee by a line drive during a March 28 exhibition game against the A's.
"For everything that happened to him this week, getting hit [in the leg] and getting sick, I thought he had a really nice game," manager Bruce Bochy said that night.
For those watching the game back in Arizona, the game will begin on FOX Sports Arizona Plus, and when the Phoenix Suns game ends on FOX Sports Arizona, the game will also be carried there.
D-backs: AT&T Park a great place for baseball
The D-backs were 11-4 against the Giants at Candlestick Park. At AT&T Park, however, they have been just 51-76.
That being said, it is still one of manager Kirk Gibson's favorite ballparks.
"This is one of the more vibrant atmospheres that we play in," Gibson said. "It's a great park; the fans really are engaged in everything every day. We enjoy playing here, we really do. We enjoy playing in this park, in this city and against this team."
The D-backs were 5-5 against the Giants last year in San Francisco.
Giants: Hicks is first at second -- for now
It will be intriguing to see how long Brandon Hicks remains the Giants' primary second baseman. It's difficult to call him the starting second baseman, unless he hits .340 and plays outstanding defense. Hicks had been sharing second base with Joaquin Arias, the Opening Night second baseman, and Ehire Adrianza, who actually had started more games (three) than either Arias or Hicks (two apiece) when manager Bruce Bochy announced Tuesday that Hicks had risen to the top of the food chain and was starting in the Giants' home opener.
Striking out has been a problem for Hicks, who made the team as a non-roster invitee to Spring Training. Entering this year, he had gone down on strikes 753 times in 2,322 Minor League at-bats. In his limited big league opportunities -- cups of coffee with the Braves in 2010-11 and the A's in 2012 -- Hicks struck out 42 times in 90 at-bats.
In fact, Hicks struck out in each of his first two at-bats Tuesday. Worse, he committed a second-inning throwing error that helped the D-backs score.
Worth noting
• Top prospect Archie Bradley made his Triple-A Reno debut Sunday and allowed four hits and walked two in five shutout innings. Bradley, who was ranked as the top pitching prospect in baseball by MLB.com, struck out three.
• The Giants hit 11 home runs in their first seven games of the season. Last year it took 19 games for them to hit 11 homers.
• Tuesday's opener was the 247th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park dating back to Oct. 1, 2010. It's the longest active home sellout streak in the Majors.

GumTree is
- a cross-platform scientific workbench
- a front-end for instrument control and data analysis
- an open source Eclipse Rich Client Platform project
- an OGSi enabled middleware server to provide centralised access to the instrument system
GumTree is an open source and multi-platform graphical user interface for performing neutron scattering and X-ray experiments. It handles the complete experiment life cycle from instrument calibration, data acquisition, and real time data analysis to results publication. The aim of the GumTree Project is to create a highly Integrated Scientific Experiment Environment (ISEE), allowing interconnectivity and data sharing between different distributed components such as motors, detectors, user proposal database and data analysis server. GumTree is being adapted to several instrument control server systems such as TANGO, EPICS and SICS, providing an easy-to-use front-end for users and simple-to-extend model for software developers. The design of GumTree is aimed to be reusable and configurable for any scientific instrument. GumTree will be adapted to six neutron beam instruments for the OPAL reactor at ANSTO.

The Nationals try to extend their season-high winning streak to five games today.
Flying high on their first four-game winning streak of the season, the Nationals get a familiar face back in their lineup today. No, not Ryan Zimmerman, who is still battling a strained ribcage. But Nyjer Morgan is back from his eight-game suspension, determined to put the controversies of the past month behind him and finish out his season on a high note.
Yunesky Maya also would like to finish out on a high note. Making his fourth career start, he's still seeking his first career win. Maya will be facing a Braves lineup that already beat him 12 days ago at Turner Field.
As most of you know by now, I'm attending today's game but not covering it from the press box. My wife and I will be watching from Section 409 in the upper deck. Many of you have already said you'll be stopping by to say hello. Hope many more of you can make it as well. We're hoping to be in our seats by 12:15 p.m. in case people want to come by pregame and then head back to their regular seats in time for first pitch. Of course, everyone's welcome to stay up in 409 and watch the game with us (provided you're not taking up someone else's paid seat).
See you at the ballpark…

Zim is still in pain. He may get shut down for the rest of the season.Desmond misses covering second but Gonzalez gets the throwing error in the shift. Sure looking like Espinosa might be next year's shortstop for the Nats.

I wish Desmond would finally get his head out of you know where. But I like Maya's emotion going into the dugout as if to say PLAY THE FREAKIN' GAME FINALLY WILL YA! And Ramos's tag at the plate was a thing of beauty. He held the ball in his glove with both hands and close to his body and stopped Heyward (sp?) with his shoulder (and body weight) at an angle and then applied the tag. Heyward went down but not too hard.

Where was Espinosa today?He was starting to swing a hot bat again. Take it this was another one of Riggleman's everyone-gets-a-turn moves that he loves, even if it means putting an inferior lineup out there.
- Anonymous - Sep 25, 2010 at 8:53 PM
Maya has been awful. I know he's 29 and is getting millions, but maybe they should let him conquer AAA before coming back up to DC.I'm the first to criticize the Lerners' cheap ways. But giving Rizzo access to the checkbook might not be such a good idea. First Marquis, now this.

SO glad to meet our Intrepid Reporter and the delightful Mrs. Z, along with the wise and funny Natsfan1a, Souldrummer, several Anons, and others whose names I didn't catch. The rest of you were there in spirit, even those in section 406. Maya looked good much of the game. Thanks for the reality check on him NatsFan Jack…and the Instructional League scouting reports. We didn't keep the streak going, but there were many zippy moments. There was no where else I'd rather have been today. Thanks Mark for taking us on The Inside.

Anyone that rips into Maya is crazy. You can see some good things about him and in his fourth game what happens, he has one bad stretch. Other than the one bad stretch not bad for a guy who was in prison a year ago and has pitched a total of (I think) 5 minor league and 4 major league games.Honestly if this is May and he has had 6 to 10 starts and still having the problem I would agree. But just like anything else, he needs to get adjusted with everything and have a full spring training.I will be anyone that come April we will be very happy to have him on the team.

This is the business we've chosen (cue music and fade to black)…Despite the game results, was nice to meet Mark and Mrs. Z. as well as JaneB, LoveTheNats, and a couple of Anonymi before the game. Sorry to have missed those of you who arrived later. My hubby and I were sitting with friends in the swanky club seats today – niiice. Tomorrow it's back to the Veeckian Upper Deck for us. Hope that the Nats can get back to their winning ways then. Oh, and I would tend to agree with NatsJack, JaneB, and Golfersal re. Maya.In closing I will say to Mark and Mrs. Z., in the words of a baseball immortal, thank you for making this day necessary. :-)—Don Hammack said… Why do I picture something like the scene from Don Corleone's office during the wedding happening in the upper deck at Nats Park? Lots of ring kissing, envelopes of money. September 25, 2010 4:56 PM
- natsfan1a - Sep 25, 2010 at 11:26 PM
Oops, sorry – LoveDaNats. Gotta get my deez and doz straight.
- NatsJack in Florida - Sep 25, 2010 at 11:54 PM
JayneB…. While I consider myself MORE than a fan… I am "NatsJack in Florida" not NatsFan….and, no, not Rosenbaum who I like alot…. You'll just have to wait until the Gators are up by 30.
- BinM - Sep 25, 2010 at 11:56 PM
@Don Hammack:Agreed, but who played Luca Brasi in today's passion play?
- NatsJack in Florida - Sep 26, 2010 at 12:00 AM
Don Hammack and BinM… you guys are wierd but I like it.
- JaneB - Sep 26, 2010 at 12:01 AM
NatsJack in Florida, my apologies! I'll root for the Gators with you, in penance…
- NatsJack in Florida - Sep 26, 2010 at 12:15 AM
JaneB… apologies accepted… AJ Morris, just between you and me.. ML ready.
- Another_Sam - Sep 26, 2010 at 12:22 AM
Mark — very kind of you both to chat with the gang today. Thank you. You've made the season so enjoyable. dj in Fl: before I left home today I looked for a conference nametag. I was going to put ANONYMOUS on it a wear it. [I was formerly one of the anonymous.]
- natsfan1a - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:13 AM
That would have been funny, Sam. (I made the nametag jest the other day.)
- natsfan1a - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:15 AM
um, what are the Marlins? ;-)—BinM said… @Don Hammack: Agreed, but who played Luca Brasi in today's passion play? September 25, 2010 7:56 PM
- oldtimerjim - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:32 AM
Tough game to watch today. Maya was OK till he was clearly out of gas in the 6th and Riggs didn't get him after 4 straight balls, then a couple more that the hitter helped by swinging and then a wild pitch to the wall. I don't understand why it took Riggs till after the HR to pull him. We might have had a chance till then. We really must wait till spring for both Maya and Marquis. It would be nice to have some good surprises come April!!Harper is still a high school player. He has much to learn about pro baseball and hitting the curve. He will be outstanding but rushing him and putting too much on his shoulders will be tragic. I hope to see Flores make the trip North in March and Harper head to AA Potomac. AAA in 2012. I hope to see Stras work back slowly, maybe a September call-up maybe not. I think Zimmermann came back to soon. Don't get on Rizzo, he has done a great job so far with what he has to work with. The Nats must sign Dunn and look for a front of the rotation guy even if they have to trade some young guys away. Without that we will only improve slightly next season. It is not as if all of the free agents are jumping at the chance to play here!
- Mark Zuckerman - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:49 AM
Thanks to everyone who made it over to Section 409 today — it was great to meet all of you and put some faces (and real names) to the pseudonyms you use here. It was also great to hear your thoughts on the team and on this site.While it was my pleasure to meet everyone, I do have to say it was a special treat to meet one loyal reader who shares a unique bond with me: my name. Yes, Mark Zuckerman met Mark Zuckerman today and watched a couple innings of a ballgame together. Once we got past any fear of the universe collapsing on itself, we enjoyed a nice conversation. I was particularly impressed with young Theo Zuckerman's thorough interest in and knowledge of the Nats — I see a sportswriter in the making there!To those of you who couldn't make it today (or to those of you who went to the wrong section) sorry we didn't get a chance to meet. But thanks as always for your kind words and support!As for today's game … well, I think I picked a good one not to cover. Not sure how much there was worth analyzing from that clunker.
- LoveDaNats - Sep 26, 2010 at 3:02 AM
Mark,Great to meet you and Mrs. Z today. It actually was the highlight of that stinker of a game. natsfan1a, such a pleasure to meet you! i'm just sorry that I left before JaneB got there. Maybe next year.Fun day. Thanks so much.
- Big Cat - Sep 26, 2010 at 3:20 AM
Well, I too will join in the Maya bashing, just for the 8 million dollars invested. If he was an unknown coming up I would say he has some promise….and that would be about it. He is a guy who, because of lack of velocity, has to be perfect with his pitches. I hope he can help us next year, but I am very skeptical.
- Souldrummer - Sep 26, 2010 at 12:48 PM
Thanks so much for the meetup, Mark. Great to meet you and your wife. I'll be using her Cindy Acta strategies for sweltering hot games next year rather than suffering in silence.We are blessed as a fan base to have someone with your dedication and genuine love of the game offering a unique perspective. Hope that you're able to build on this site next year, and now I've got to step up to the plate and get the podcasts next year!
- natsfan1a - Sep 26, 2010 at 1:38 PM
Wait, sweltering heat strategies? Do tell, because I could use some. Seriously.
- Anonymous - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:13 PM
The Lerners are cheap!The Lerners shouldn't have signed Maya for that much money!I'll have another glass of Schizophrenia please.
- Mrs. Z. - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:29 PM
I'll echo the sentiments above: it was a real treat to meet all of you yesterday! Mark and I appreciate all of you–even if you weren't able to meet up with us yesterday.As for Mrs. Acta's beat-the-heat strategy: bring a hand towel. Yesterday I soaked mine down with water and wore it over my head and around my neck. It also makes an excellent sun shield (prevents sunburn) and if you sit on it, your legs won't stick to those cheap plastic seats
- BinM - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:43 PM
@a1a: The Marlins are Luca's bedmates, of course. "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes". —————–@NatsJack: 'drooling scouts' = AJ Morris; Whouda thunk?
- natsfan1a - Sep 26, 2010 at 2:46 PM
Thanks much, Mrs. Z. I'll try that at a future game (I suspect that I won't need to do so at today's game).Exactly, BinM.Go Nats! ¡Go Livo!
- Anonymous - Sep 26, 2010 at 3:05 PM
AJ Morris had a hard time keeping up with Rosenbaum and Holder in Potomac this year. He still needs work. I think he was second to Strasburg in a college pitching award I can't recall.
- Richard - Sep 27, 2010 at 2:26 PM

State] Wildcat to be named a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award."Dustin Ackley (North Carolina), Mike Leake (Arizona State), Kent Matthes (Alabama) and Stephen Strasburg (San Diego State) joined"Morris as Gold Spikes finalists.

A New York street. / Katie Couric, Twitter
Katie Couric posted a photo on Twitter a few minutes ago of a snowy New York street and wrote: It's getting nasty out here!! How is it looking where you are? #Blizzard#Nemo."
And Justin Bieber, according to MTV, is "shrugging off Nemo," which means he isn't worried about the storm coming, even though he's hosting Saturday Night Live.
"Nemo" is trending.
Snowstorm Nemo, that is. The blizzard is predicted to be the "potentially historic" storm for the northeast. Three states - Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts - have each declared a state of emergency.
But all we can think of is that cute little Disney/Pixar fish, star of the 2003 film, Finding Nemo.
The Weather Channel chose the name, and it obviously seems to be, um, sticking.
According to the Weather Channel website, they picked it because: Nemo is a "Greek boy's name meaning 'from the valley,'" and also "means 'nobody' in Latin."
But, as the Los Angeles Times points out, to most of us it will always mean an adorable clownfish with the overprotective single dad.

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved.

Comcast's rollout of Streampix nearly complete
After launching in February, Comcast's Xfinity Streampix [1], which features a deeper dive into older movies and TV shows, is now rolled out across more than 95 percent of the MSO's footprint.
Earlier this year, Comcast added library servers in most of its Pittsburgh market. The library servers enable the streaming side of Streampix, although the content could previously be viewed online [2]. With the library servers, Streampix is available as part of Comcast's On Demand menu.
The upgrade also allowed Comcast to offer more on-demand and HD video choices, all of which date back to 2008 when Comcast CEO Brian Roberts first spoke about the company's "Project Xfinity" at the Consumer Electronics Show. At the time, the Xfinity name referred to more choices on VOD and linear TV, or an "everything available on TV" concept. Comcast later adopted Xfinity as the brand name for all of its triple-play services [3].
Over the past few weeks, Comcast finished rolling out the library servers in the rest of the Keystone Region, which includes all of Pennsylvania outside of metro Philadelphia, eastern Ohio, and the Maryland and West Virginia panhandles. With the network upgrades, Comcast customers have access to more than 95,000 TV shows and movies.
To launch Streampix, Comcast entered into licensing agreements with leading movie studios and programming providers, including Disney-ABC Television Group, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution and Cookie Jar Entertainment.
The streaming service includes numerous past season and current hit shows and full series such as "30 Rock" and "Married … with Children," as well as popular children's franchises like "Inspector Gadget." Available movies include "Ocean's Eleven" and "When Harry Met Sally."
Streampix initially launched on Apple's iOS devices through Comcast's Xfinity TV Player App, but it's now available on Android devices via the same app and on Xfinity TV on Xbox 360.
Comcast offers Streampix for free on many of its triple-play and double-play packages, but it can also be purchased for $4.99 a month – which is less than Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime – with other video offerings.
While there is a small amount of incremental revenue to be had with Streampix, the real value is providing customers with more video choices across more platforms and devices, which in turn reduces churn. Dating back to Project Xfinity, Comcast planned out a new content storage platform and distribution system via its extensive fiber network to deliver more content to its subscribers.
"Really, it's just an enhancement of capacity and a great investment that brings more choices to customers," said Comcast Keystone Region spokesman Bob Grove.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Seriously? Noise or lights? After 5 kids, you learn the worst shoes, hands down, are the ones with shoelaces, especially those cord types that refuse to stay tied. Parents will do well to learn to block out noises . Lights? Look away. But tie (double, triple knot if you will, like it matters), and you will understand why they invented Velcro.
That's why YOU wear the shoes with GRINDERS, and STOMP their feet when their knots fail. They'll learn to tie a PROPER knot after a couple of grinder stomps! :-D Sadly, Grinders seems to be a brand, like Doc Martens, not a hard, sharp, toothed, metal attachment designed to make hamburger out of stomped feet. http://www.metal-shop.eu/shoes/z/grinders/
Worst shoes ever are sequined boots where the sequins quickly get trashed, make noise, fall off and stink like smelly kid feet.
I would rather hear and see my daughters annoying ass shoes than see her fall and get hurt by those shoes with wheels on them. Safety for children over comfort of adults always.
Yeah, and after 6 kids, the very worst are the ones that smell like... unwashed body parts. Sadly, though my kids are grown, I encounter this odor daily in middle school. Funky.

Yep, I have to agree and add that when I am at a store and some kid comes carelessly rolling down an aisle without regard for their safety or who they are going to run into, it makes me want to slap them and their parents. Noise shoes are annoying after a while. My wife got some pip squeaks for or 20 month old and it is cute at first and people love it, but it gets a bit annoying to both me and my son, after about an hour he was walking around on his tip toes so the shoes wouldn't squeak... which made my wife and her friends all think that was SOOO cute too. *sigh*

What happened to regular shoes?
The ones with kids in them

DING DING DING! We have a winner! Although my 2 year old has a pair of shoes that she always wants to wear where the velcro likes to come undone at random times. Thats pretty annoying also.
I don't have kids and didn't even know shoes that make noise exist. That sounds (tee-hee! punny) terrible.
Vinyl shoes! Well, at lest they were the worst for my son because he has hot feet, his feet would sweat in them & then when he got home from school...off would come the shoes. The smell could peel paint off the walls! Un-godly smell! Holy crap, they stunk! Luckily he quickly figured out that he didn't like for his feet to be hot. BTW...he had the Wheelies (wheels in the heels). He was one of those annoying kids that would whiz by you in the stores.
Heelies are the stupidest shoes ever invented!
my daughter insists all shoes have to light up. they aren't annoying or any problem unless we are in a movie theater. then she has to be shoeless for the duration because she will intentionally light them up repeatedly. shoes with noise are horrible and annoying. laces are worse but I have to agree that smelly ones are the worst. well, I will also add in that shoes for toddlers exceeding $8-$10 is insane because we are often buying shoes twice/season because they are outgrown.
Lights are fine, but grinders, wheels, or noise makers are a no-no!!! Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!
whats wrong with wheeled shoes? They arent loud they just cruise. Not sure how ergonomic they are but for a fun walk to the store they seem ok.

Last minute voters dropping off Measure B ballots
Linda SatchwellStaff Writer
Kathy Williams, Plumas County clerk/recorder, reports that voters are bringing in last minute ballots for the Measure B hospital tax cap election this morning at a rate of about two every 10 minutes. That's unprecedented, like most everything about this election.
Williams said that for today only, the Quincy post office will be pulling and holding election ballots it receives, rather than having them go the usual route to Reno and back, which would have them here too late to be counted.
Plumas District Hospital residents who want their votes included can take their ballots to either the post office until 4:30 p.m. or the county elections office until 8 p.m.
At 11:30 this morning, Tuesday, Aug. 31, 63 percent of district voters had returned their ballots. That's 2,818 of the 4,481 registered to vote in the hospital district.
The results of the election will be available at the county elections office moments after 8 p.m. tonight. Results will be posted at plumasnews.com shortly after that.
