Cushing, 68, said the âin-your-car meetingâ spelled out in a Sunday letter from Packard would violate a lawmakerâs rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. He wouldnât rule out suing House leaders if they refuse to make an accommodation.
âThe leader of the Republican majority is doing everything possible except that which is most obvious and that is to allow us to meet remotely,â said Cushing, an eight-term representative, during a Tuesday news conference on Zoom.
