I was voter 38 today Oct. 20 at Chapel Hill Library. The first day of early in person voting.
Any one else posting about the November election?
I have been receiving via mail several fliers a week for the May 17, 2022. I don't see anymore posts on OrangePolitics. Early voting is April 28-May 14. Voting now is good practice for the big Senate race this fall. I will be voting for Valerie Foushee for Congress. I have known her since her son was at CHHS where I taught. She has lots of experience in local politics and at the state legislature. Best wishes.
So I am receiving lots of announcements from candidates for local house and senate seats and for US Congress. David and Verla said they were not running for reelection. Anyone else not running? Who else is running? And of course, Happy Thanksgiving.
The Town owns all 9 acres at Fidelity & Davie behind the Farmer's Market: cemetery, meadow, woods. Public Works has been planning to devour that meadow by packing 1762 more graves into it. No public notifications have been given. Fortunately the current Carrboro Connects comprehensive planning project welcomes input on formulating *theoretical* aspirations, such as *equity* in walkable green space. (All 3 big green Carrboro parks are north of Main Street.)
Tuesday's Town Council hearing on Carrboro Connect's 2nd draft of their 20 year plan provide an opening for green space advocates: We ought to finally get a real park on our multifamily side of town! We're not subhuman because we're in grad school or are divorced or retired. This is a complicated subject. I apologize in advance for not attempting to explaining it with a blog discussion. For more information please dig into my website (below), which proposes some cemetery solutions for our remaining long term local families. It has my land line number on it.
