A community forum with Carrboro Police Chief Walter Horton was originally planned as a response to public concerns about military tactics, weapons and gear used by law officers nationwide. But most of Monday night’s two-hour conversation at Town Hall was about racial profiling.
If you live in Carrboro, and you’d like to keep your own chickens for non-commercial purposes, you can rest assured that the Board of Aldermen is considering ways to make that easier for you.
The attorney for the so-called “Orange County Five” says he’s encouraged by the recent dismissal in Wake County District Court of five other Moral Monday protester cases, based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that protest-free “buffer zones” on public property around abortion clinics are unconstitutional.
A proposal to extend Carrboro’s 1998 ban on drive-throughs at downtown businesses to other areas of town brought several citizens out to Tuesday night’s Board of Aldermen meeting to address the issue.
Four members of the so-called “Orange County Five,” a group of elected officials arrested during a Moral Monday protest at the General Assembly in June 2013, showed up in Wake County District Court today for an administrative hearing on trespassing charges.
The capitol city will be ringing with shouts, songs and sirens as Moral Monday protests return for the first full week of the legislative session at 5:00 p.m.
