RALEIGH PARADE ROLLERCOASTER: Did the Mayor Make Thousands Suffer Because She Was Criticized?

RALEIGH PARADE ROLLERCOASTER: Did the Mayor Make Thousands Suffer Because She Was Criticized?

Let’s all remember the City has had nearly a full year to create new safety protocols so that these parade cancellations could have been avoided. And, to-date they have made no public statements about what work they have done to develop the new procedures. Or, if they have even started the process. This debacle and the lack of transparency should be an issue in next year’s City Council election.

I am writing in response to the effort by some Raleigh City Council folks to move the City Clerk’s position into the City Manager’s office. I believe that the Raleigh community is best served by an independent City Clerk, who operates as a sworn City of Raleigh Official. Please honor the intent of the creation of the City Clerk position. The City Clerk is not your secretary!!

Livable Raleigh believes two-year terms mean council members work harder to remain close to their constituencies. However, if four-year terms are to be implemented, Livable Raleigh strongly recommends that the Mayor still be elected every two years, and that a non-partisan primary be held before the general election.
