Waive entrance fees?

What do you think about the proposal that caregivers — such as people who push wheelchairs or provide other assistance to those who are disabled — get in free when they take the person in their care to area taxpayer-funded attractions? It’s a kind gesture, but should the city of Wichita and Sedgwick County make it official policy? Could this open the door to requests from other groups?

    No need for this change of policy – after all the care givers get the benefit of the concert, etc. Therefore they should pay the same as anyone else. This policy does not make sense to me at all. The disabled person pays but the caregivers get in free? Seems like it’s turned around somehow…..
