The Week Ahead: 4/29 - 5/5

The results from last month's primary election (with links to additional information) are here. This week I'll start transitioning the Election information here to the General Election Races and archive the Primary.

Other Events:

Groups that crossover with Racial Justice Task Force recommendations meeting this week:

Build Programs Not Jails doesn't meet this week, but next week it will be at its regular time, 7pm at the IMC.

There may be more news again this week on the RJTF Housing Recommendations. Here are some of the latest updates: There was a meeting between CU Indivisible and the Mayor of Champaign on the issue (more on that here). There appears to be movement by local groups and the Housing Authority of Champaign County (more from the Reentry Council meeting last month). The County Board vote (more information and links on the Cheat Sheet here) and a recent Smile Politely article have motivated a lot of ideas towards movement.

County Calendar:

It's a slow week to start off May with only the Zoning Board on the weekly calendar so far. The Zoning Board of Appeals meeting Thursday night may have drama spill over from last time over concerns with Solar Farm noise and proximity to homes. WCIA had a recent article about the concerns that had a large public turnout to the last meeting (upcoming agenda here). Board page here. 

The full 2018 schedule is on the Calendar page and the County page. The regular County Board meetings are back to Thursdays until next holiday season.

If you're curious about learning more about how your county government works, it's easy enough to live stream a meeting or go in person: Attend a Meeting.

*Meeting is broadcast live on Comcast Public Access and at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/champco1776
