June 18 City Council Meetings
Highlights from June 18 Council work session and afternoon session
Will Council Finally Learn the Hard Way?
Council’s record of taking major votes without listening to stakeholders continues to disappoint. Now, having ignored stakeholders in the Blue Ridge Corridor, they stand on the verge of losing their taxing authority. With the Council elections coming in November, don’t make the same mistake again: engage stakeholders and act according to their wishes or prepare to be voted out of office.
Don’t Risk Our Cultural Heritage
Raleigh has the opportunity to distinguish itself from other large cities through careful preservation of its historic core.
Petition Drive Results
Although we were not successful in getting the required 5,000 signatures for the petition to put a referendum on the November 2024 ballot for City Council Term Lengths we got over halfway there and we were successful in creating city-wide awareness of the issue.
The Way Forward
The public is losing faith in government. It’s time to step out from under administrative control and voice your independence. Listen to your electorate and be more reflective of public input.
