I just received this PDF of the Town of Chapel Hill's Personnel Appeals Committee from the attorney for the "Sanitation 2" Al McSurely, who writes: "Two out of five ain't bad. The decision for Ms. Rebecca Clark's nephew is due out this weekend, Sunday. We will be holding a Sanitation 2 Support Service next week, as this popular education process begins to move into its second phase. "
Three committee members voted against each of the points of Kerry Bigelow's appeal, and in most cases two voted for the appeal. A decision on Clyde Clark, the other half of the "2" is expected this weekend. The members are: Chair Anita Badrock, Delores Bailey, Asila Calhoun, Jim Curis, and Derek Hoar. The memo does not state which members voted in which ways.
Here's an excerpt from one of the findings...
Last week The Carrboro Citizen reported on Orange County leaders congratulating themselves on making major technology improvements over the past two years. "“Today’s servers are tomorrow’s mainframes, and we do have to have that kind of continuous upgrade of systems,” board Vice Chair Steve Yuhasz said." He's right of course, but it sounds like many of the changes were to internal infrastructure, so it's hard for us average residents to tell the difference. I'm wondering what technology OP readers would like to see the County improve?
One improvement that I did notice was the update to the web-based GIS system. Mostly it caught my attention because the County's site was down and/or malfunctioning for a while following the upgrade. It is now easier to use than before, which I would characterize as a step up from requiring a graduate degree to use, to merely requiring a lot of patience and guesswork.
Come out and watch the documentary "The Fourth World War," a film
about the struggle of poor and working-class people all over the globe
who must battle both large corporations and oppressive governments in
order to survive and win basic human rights. Filmed in the streets of
Mexico, Korea, Argentina, Palestine, Quebec City, and other locations
all over the world, this is an emotional and very politicized look at
glaring injustice and the emerging movements that seek to combat it.
(Excerpt from the film)
We walked and these moments changed us. We saw the buildings burning and
the pain in our neighbor’s eyes. We rushed bayonets in the mountain and
lines of police in the city.
We were touched by too much death. We loved and felt alive. We heard
the echo of our word in other voices. We watched the moon rise over the
barricades.
We were wounded by the courage of small children. This is not the whole story or the only story.
It is an introduction to some of the people with whom we share this planet.
A much greater story remains to be told. A story that we will write together.
