@carolina27712 Is he doing so in public meetings or you have just seen him out and about?

@DurmBull But they know Google Sheets and Google Forms at least, right?

@aaron_lubeck @hekla_min Old North Durham Neighborhood association fought hard to save brick gutters and granite curbs in the early 2000's. Thankfully that save good chunks of Old North Durham and Cleveland Holloway's streets. I believe it is a standard to retain them where still intact.

@msbsexton @carolina27712 @wltregay I think we would be very disappointed to learn how often it might simply be to get an elected office on their resume to move on up the political ladder. Or in Durham politics nowadays, to specifically consolidate power.

@carolina27712 Also I find it interesting that Javonia Lewis is not in the inner circle of the School Board's PA alliance but somehow gets their nod for County Commissioner. Durham politics is just toxic.

@carolina27712 Since I really refuse to engage in PA's process any longer, can you shed any light on what the rationale was for not supporting the 2 Black women incumbents? (esp given Burns & Allam have exactly the same length of service, and Howerton is the longest serving commissioner)

@guyindurham @carolina27712 Have you had contact with the survivor or just the rumor mill?

@law4community My question, bordering on critique, is she selling folks a rapidly depreciating asset on land they don't own in mobile home parks?

@carolina27712 If we are being completely honest, I wish tract builders had to live in the townhomes they are throwing up everywhere.

@aaron_lubeck That community is lovely but the median price is $2,040,000. How are folks supposed to be inspired about something so unattainable for most folks in our communities?

@carolina27712 As a Realtor I always decline to contribute to the PAC for just this reason

@DurhamComplete Fair point. I just think we deserve a transparent and fair process. Fingers crossed the picture becomes clearer.

@bullcitynerd @DurhamComplete Yeah, and technically Javiera was running for Mayor last time. Things change. I still maintain that choice would only make the PA fan club happy

@carolina27712 @bullcitynerd @DurhamComplete Then why not get in the race now. 12 people have come forward today, I would not trust a process that landed AJ out of the blue

@hamentaschennow @bullcitynerd I haven't listened to the work session yet, but was it disclosed how many staff make over $90k? Why not eliminate or reduce down to $500 at most for folks over that income level. Let's be frank most people making over $90k probably worked from home so saved $ during pandemic

@DurmBull @wltregay That government cheese was all the rage in public housing in New York City. I was available to us through the same "free lunch" programs and picked up in school cafeteria. I can't lie it made for a great grilled cheese sandwich for us latch key kids during the summer.

@aaron_lubeck Go to any Lake community in the area and you will see many different flavors of this type of structure to store folk's recreational toys.
