Gore campaign refuses to accommodate wheelchair bound reporter:

While in Flint, the Gore campaign was to make a stop at an undisclosed location that its spokespeople said was inaccessible to wheelchairs.

The campaign said it couldn't allow me to follow the motor pool in my car to the location and the vans for the rest of the press corps couldn't accommodate my wheelchair.

Going it alone would have drastically limited the scope of what I could cover to just the Hurley visit, making the story I could write inferior to what other papers and media could deliver.

Not wanting to compromise the story for our readers, my editors and I agreed it would be best to have another reporter come in to follow Gore to his other appearance, which turned out to be at the GM Truck and Bus plant.
