CITY COUNCIL TO MIDTOWN: DROP DEAD
It turns out that at that January hearing when North Hills traffic was lightly discussed, the referral to the Transportation Committee – which had been previously promised to opponents – was not for any review of North Hills traffic at all but rather for the Six Forks Corridor Project – a dead project that would have provided little if any relief for traffic congestion in North Hills.

Raleigh City Council Retreat, who knows where, who knows when?
We’ve been waiting patiently for the details to appear on the City’s Events Calendar so we can add the information to our calendar and publicize this important event.

Baldwin violates Council Code while pounding gavel and shedding crocodile tears
This is a woman who does NOT possess the requisite demeanor to be mayor. She is unable to deal with criticism from the public nor with a challenge from her peers to her “alpha” position without lashing out in anger.
