The Cincinnati Enquirer Saturday, May 24, 1986 Title: 8 bus protesters released; leaders to remain in jail by David Wells, The Cincinnati Enquirer A plea bargain resulted in freedom Friday for most of the disabled rights protesters arrested in Cincinnati this week. But three leaders of the group will have to spend another eight days in jail. “I believe they made-their point,” defense attorney Joni Wilkens said of those released. “I think things escalated further than anyone wanted them to, and this was the best way to resolve the situation." The protesters are all members of ADAPT (American Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation). The group, which is based in Denver, was in Cincinnati this week to protest the policies of Queen City Metro and the American Public Transit Association, which was having a convention at the Westin Hotel. The group wants Metro to install wheelchair lifts on any new buses it buys. It wants the transit association to support full access for the disabled to all public transportation. - ADAPT (236)
Title: Protest CONTINUED FROM PAGE C-1 Police arrested 17 protesters Wednesday who attempted to block the Vine Street entrance of the Westin and the Fourth Street entrance to Queen City Metro's offices. Five of the protesters who had medical conditions too severe to be easily handled in the county lockup were released on unsecured appearance bonds Wednesday afternoon. One other protester pleaded no contest Wednesday and was released with a suspended sentence. Of the remaining 11; eight were released Friday afternoon after the prosecution agreed to reduce the disorderly conduct charges against them from fourth-degree misdemeanors to minor misdemeanors, in exchange for guilty pleas. The 11 jailed protesters earlier had declined to post bonds set at their arraignments Wednesday. - ADAPT (252)

The Cincinnati Post, Thursday, May 22,1986 IB [Headline] Wheelchair protesters irk traffic reporter By David Wecker Post staff reporter Traffic is John Phillips’ life. And when something disrupts traffic's normal ebb and flow, he gets steamed. As WLW's airborne traffic reporter, Phillips didn't appreciate those handicapped activists who were downtown blocking Queen City Metro buses with their wheelchairs earlier this week. Hey, he figured, people were trying to get to work. And here were these protesters in wheelchairs holding up traffic. By Wednesday, Phillips had taken about all he could take. He mentioned on the air that it would be a good idea to call in the fire department and hose down the protesters. A good cold blast would clear them out, by cracky. It sounded a bit harsh, considering the protesters were simply seeking improvements in access to the city's public transit system. But Phillips, no softy here, wasn't making any apologies. “If you have to be at work downtown," he said, and people interfere, “whether they're handicapped or not... I say hose them down. Water cannons work just fine in Europe." - ADAPT (259)
