CHAPEL HILL TOWN COUNCIL
office hours with Gary Kahn are Mon -Fri 2-5 pm at Tabbacco Road Chapel Hill. in the Bar Area. to discuss campaign issues anyone might have. Thanks. Gary Kahn.P.s. Now through election day.
The INDY also asked about roadblocks/checkpoints and potential racial profiling. Here are my thoughts on the matter:
If
checkpoints are being manipulated to racially profile drivers, then that is a
gross misuse of a tool which is a public good and such actions have no place in
my administration. Checkpoints are
instituted to keep people from hurting themselves and others, not as an
instrument of racial oppression or intimidation. I would welcome review of the department’s documentation
for checkpoints by organizations such as the ACLU because I am committed to
justice and transparency.

This piece originally ran in the Daily Tar Heel as a guest editorial on April 1st.
I believe everyone should vote, and I believe voting should be easy and convenient. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the recent direction that we are going in North Carolina. Last year, the N.C. General Assembly severely restricted the ability of residents to vote. It cut the number of days of early voting, limited the ability of out-of-state students to cast ballots and did away with one-stop registration during early voting.

It appears that as far as I can see on the political scene that there is a civil war here in orange county between liberal democrats and conservative republicans. Where are the moderates of both parties. Which of the current candidates of either party declare that he or she is a moderate liberal democrat or moderate conservative republican . Perhaps I might declare I"M a moderate liberal republican. Gary Kahn
