Umstead Park/RDU Quarry Sunset Clause Trial

NC Office of Administrative Hearings 1711 New Hope Church Road, Raleigh

From RDU Forest Community Discussion Group YES! It is REALLY happening! After 6 years of DEQ-Mining staff telling us we could not appeal the loss of the 50 year sunset clause and park protection buffers (which were done in secret in March 2018); after huge citizen response (big thanks to all of you!); after several court filings and overcoming several "Motions to Dismiss"; after being sent back and forth to different courts; after filings and hearings to try to get to a trial on the merits of our case ---> we are finally getting a contested trial! The trial will go for at least 3 days, generally taking 2-hour lunch break. There are usually additional short breaks for bathroom visits and attorneys to talk with clients. It would be helpful to have an audience. Feel free to come for just a hour or 2 if that is all you have or stay for it all! You may arrive or leave courtroom at any time, but if you need to do such, please do so quietly. We are not allowed to talk during the court. No photos or recordings, but you can bring your laptop/tablet. The Office of Administration Hearings (OAH) […]

Zoom meeting to discuss Athens Drive Library

Zoom Meeting to Discuss Athens Drive Library Yevonne Brannon is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting on Thursday, June 20th at 7 PM. I have gotten a lot of emails and texts about our community library. I think it is time to meet and discuss and decide how to move forward. We all want the bond to be successful but we also want a COMMUNITY library that serves our community - the trade we were asked to support was to move the library from the school INTO the community. This is still our goal. I, like many of you, would rather our library stay where it is if it cannot be IN OUR community not halfway to Cary, etc. This is an ongoing struggle but I am very hopeful we can work it out with the County. I know they have an interest in supporting our community's needs. I know many of you have said supporting the bond depends on how the bond supports us. - Yevonne Zoom Meeting

A full list of accepted voter IDs can be found at  ncsbe.gov/voting/voter-id. “We always strive to empower more people to vote in Wake County by making information and resources as accessible as possible,” said Olivia McCall, Board of Elections director. “This collaboration with the libraries is an excellent opportunity for us to provide accurate information and help residents better prepare for the upcoming elections.” The two organizations have worked together to offer voter registration at local libraries for years, but this is one of the largest initiatives ever planned.
