The results from last week's primary election (with links to additional information) are here. Next 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 meets Wednesday, March 28th at 7pm at the Independent Media Center.
There may be more news later this week on the RJTF Housing Recommendations as it applies to the City of Champaign. I'm waiting to hear from several local groups and members of the local government bodies who supported the changes this week. 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:
The week kicks off with a busy Tuesday. The Emergency Management Program Advisory Committee says in its agenda its purpose is "[t]o provide coordinated input by emergency management program stakeholders in the preparation, implementation, evaluation, and revision of the emergency management program." Could be an interesting learning opportunity.
The Labor/Management Health Insurance Committee deals with benefits issues for County Staff which is probably mostly interesting to County Staff.
Then there is the regular County Board meeting this Tuesday at 6:30pm (agenda here). Probably the item with the most interest will involve the Nursing Home again. A vote will be taken on leasing out part of the Champaign County Nursing Home to Rosecrance for a separate drug treatment wing. This was going to happen earlier, but was delayed by a State agency inquiry. More information on that here.
The county offices will be closed March 30th due to the Good Friday holiday.
The 2018 schedule is up and UPDATED (this month's county board meeting is on the March 27th, not the 22nd as originally posted) on the Calendar page and the County page. The regular County Board meetings are back to Thursdays until next holiday season.
