On WestSouthwest, the Americans with Disabilities Act turns 25. And reaction to the state's new report on pipeline safety. 

  

The Disability Network of Southwest Michigan will mark the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with an event this week. The network's CEO Joel Cooper and ADA Coordinator Paul Ecklund discuss what the law has meant for the disabled. 

Last week state officials released a report on pipeline safety in Michigan. The chairman of the Sierra Club of Michigan's Executive Committee says there are some good things about the report. But David Holtz tells us it only got it about "half right".
