Next week we will be organizing a committee to be called Citizens for
Schools and Parks to advocate for passing the real estate transfer tax
in Orange County. This group will be ad-hoc and will dissolve after
this May's vote on the issue.
If you are concerned about school, park and open space funding in
Orange County and want to help pass this referendum, then please come
to this meeting. If you cannot come, then please email
Mark_Chilton@hotmail.com to let us know how you can help.

From Emily Batchelder (batcheldere@gmail.com), with the Neal campaign:
Hey y'all,
Just a final reminder that the Women for Neal Meet & Greet is
this Tuesday, March 18th from 7-9pm at the Station at Southern Rail in
downtown Carrboro (see below for details and directions). Out of
respect for Eve Carson's memorial service, and to accommodate those
wishing to attend, we've pushed our event back an hour to begin at 7pm.
I've tried to incorporate as many of your issues as possible into
the agenda for Jim and I hope he has a chance to speak with you about
all of them, but please understand that in the interest of time, we've
primarily stuck to issues surrounding reproductive health and rights.
Also, please note that all ages are welcome to attend, those
purchasing alcoholic beverages will only be carded at the bar. I also
ask that in order to facilitate everyone comfortably, you please RSVP
by replying to this email with approximately how many guests you will
be attending with. Also, I know a lot of you forwarded this email on
(thank you, thank you, thank you!), so could you please forward this
email with the time change along, as well?
I still welcome any questions or concerns you may have and look forward to seeing you all there!
Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Emily

Have y'all seen the web site that the County's consultant set up about the new site search process? At the Orange County Transfer Station Siting Website, visitors can find background, details on the siting criteria, and upcoming meetings.. This is a good start and represents an improvement on the amount of information previously available.
My wishes are that:
- They would provide a syndicated feed so that we can follow updates to the site without having to visit each page every day to see whether there's something new.
- The COUNTY ought to provide this kind of information on it's own website, since this is the people's information, and should do this for more projects. Of course, the Towns should do this as well.
