Virgil Stinnett, a Honolulu resident who owns a Good News HI, and the National Federation of the Blind have filed an administrative complaint with the Small Business Administration saying the SBA’s Web site is inaccessible.
The action claims the site can’t be used by blind people who use text-to-speech screen access technology or Braille displays to access information on the Internet. It claims blind people cannot fill out forms on the site because of this or take online courses offered by the SBA.

Stinnett, whose business provides military dining services, said access to the SBA Web site is critical since he uses its programs and services.
“The fact that I could not access the Web site has cost me time and resources that I would not have needed to expend if I had been able to use the site like everyone else,” said Stinnett in a press statement.
