We received an email last week for a request to help find Election Judges for next year's primary and general election. The info is as follows.

New election judges for the 2016 Presidential Election from WBL local businesses. Below are the dates we need help with:

Primary 2016 – Tuesday, August, 9th
General Election 2016 – Tuesday, November 8th

They do get paid for being an election judge and their employers are required to give them the time off if they provide enough notice to them for time off.
 
Anyone interested to sign up can email Kim Miller of the City of White Bear Lake at kmiller@whitebearlake.org or call her directly 651-407-5300 with their name, address and telephone number. 
 
Thank you!

Protect Your Business – Remove Access Barriers Now!
Don’t Wait to be Sued!

Businesses throughout Minnesota have been impacted by the actions of an attorney and a group of individuals with disabilities who claim they want access barriers removed.  Both the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Minnesota Human Rights Act contain language requiring businesses to remove barriers that prevent or impede access to the business.  In the ADA, the requirement to remove barriers has been in place for over two decades and is framed within what is readily achievable, easily accomplishable, and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.
