Dem mayor claims Hillary lied about handicapped kids -
New Bedford officials angry at Hill
In her acceptance speech at the DNC, Clinton recounted her time in 1973 working for the Children’s Defense Fund.
She claimed “meeting a young girl in a wheelchair on the small back porch of her house,” while investigating why 2 million children in the United States were reportedly not going to school. “She told me how badly she wanted to go to school — it just didn’t seem possible in those days,” Clinton said. -
“It’s not true,” former Mayor Jack Markey told the Boston Herald. “I’m even a Democrat, but the truth is the truth.
“We would take handicapped kids in a small van to schools that could take them,” said Markey, who served on a local board that helped disabled children before he was elected mayor in 1971. “I would have been aware of a child needing help to go to school. The truth is we had access.”
