Wheelchair ramp at the State Fair went unfixed for years — until Gov. Greg Abbott came to town

[TexasTowelie]

DALLAS -- For years, J.M. Morrow said, she griped to people at Fair Park about the bump she had to overcome in her wheelchair to get into the Hall of State.

Morrow, 65, a longtime State Fair of Texas enthusiast, said the bump wasn't so bad that she couldn't maneuver it. But was a nuisance, one she'd mentioned repeatedly to State Fair officials.

Still, the bump remained.

Remained, that is, until last Friday, when it was fixed just hours before the arrival of Gov. Greg Abbott.

1. Glad it is fixed.

Many times having famous people who have various disabilities help to spotlight the disability. That is why they often use celebrities and politicians to help spread awareness of a health matter. Glad they fixed the problems.

2. Just like the special ramp he had put in at the Capitol.

Meanwhile as AG he was arguing in the Federal courts that TX shouldn't have to comply with the ADA.
