City Council meeting Monday
The agenda is online at www.durhamnc.gov/agendas/2009/cm_081709.cfm. Most of the items are about appointments and contracts, but there are also some zoning and planning items and a resolution in support of civil marriage for same sex couples.
I am a Durham native and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill after studying biology and anthropology. I have written for or produced illustrations, etc. for many newspapers, magazines, websites, and cable access and radio stations. I was a member of AML, later worked with USMLO, and was recently a member of the NCGP. I am distantly related to Irish bourgeois democratic revolutionary Thomas Francis Meagher, who was also a US general during the Civil War and an acting governor of territorial Montana. My profile image is an uncommon pinxterflower that grew near the edge of RTP in Durham for probably more than 20 years, but that bush and the entire population were seemingly killed by Duke Energy, though they knew about the flowers. The next nearest pinxterflowers I know of are miles away, so unless there are surviving sprouts or seeds, these rare azaleas are probably not going to return there anytime soon (see my 9/8/2018 DS post). I reserve the copyright on content I created while other content is posted with permission or under fair use. Unless otherwise stated, my posts don't represent any group. I rarely check the listed email.
