One item of clarification - the $6 million settlement was not awarded to one individual. As a class-action lawsuit, the payment will go to a fund from which members of the California settlement class can make claims. A payment of $20,000 will be made by Target to the California Center for the Blind, Inc. on behalf of Bruce Sexton (the original Plaintiff). Full text of settlement and information for claimants can be found at http://www.nfbtargetlawsuit.com/. cheers Thanks for the mention!
