NORTHAMPTON — For years, city resident Rodney Kunath has wanted Northampton to close caption its public meetings.
“In the City Council meetings, there should be a screen showing closed captions,” Kunath said on Tuesday as he sat in his living room wearing a Clarke School baseball hat.
Kunath, who is deaf, is a member of the city’s Disability Commission and graduated in 1958 from what was then called the Clarke School for the Deaf. He moved back to the city in 1985.
