Opposed by activists, quadriplegic appointee steps down

He was appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger to California's Building Standards Commission . The article reads:

"...over the past several weeks, disability rights advocates have been gathering in large numbers at hearings to show their opposition to Blackseth's confirmation. They claim that Blackseth, who works as a consultant for businesses on accessibility compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, has sided too often for his clients, and that he has actually tried to help businesses get around the law rather than follow it."
