About This Web Site
Today I am very happy to announce that we have a new member joining
the OrangePolitics Posse (a.k.a. editorial board)! Travis Crayton has
been a regular poster & commenter here on OP for almost 2 years. Travis first became interested in local issues when he served as
treasurer and an active volunteer for Lee Storrow's 2011 campaign. Since
then, he's become particularly interested in transit, economic
development, town-university relations, and all things downtown. He
graduates this Sunday from UNC with a degree in political science and public policy.
I think he's going to make an excellent addition the the posse, and he's jumping in by helping to live tweet the Chapel Hill Town Council Worksession tonight on @OrangePolitics!
Please join us at our next editorial meeting on June 2nd to welcome him in person.
Join us for our monthly open editorial meeting. Standing agenda:
- Debrief the past month on the site

During the Thanksgiving weekend of 2010, Ruby and I met over coffee in downtown Carrboro to discuss a new direction for OrangePolitics. By the turn of the new year, Ruby had recruited me, Erin, Jason, and Molly to act as a group of editors who would help solicit new content, expand OP's presence on Twitter (@orangepolitics) and other social media, moderate comments when necessary, and prosecute the war on spambots and other robot visitors.
Watch the Tar Heels play Florida State with the OP gang.
Tentatively to be held at R & R Grill.
