    I’m glad you’re back! I was worried that the Greene Tract would be your last article. You are right, staff have shaved off even more time for pesky taxpayers to find out what the town is up to. The pesky planning board/commission used to get piles of material, sometimes just before meetings, according to my old emails. What are pesky residents to do?

    Stay in contact with council members. Call them. Email them at mayorandcouncil@townofchapelhill.org. That puts the email in the public archives, so news media can keep track of what the public is concerned about. What with the major disruption the pandemic has caused in our lives, combined with the repeated scandals and incompetency of the White House and the selfishness of the majority party in our state legislature, people are giving up. But as comforting as that is in the short run, we have an obligation to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. We need to look after one another. We can begin by reminding local leaders of that.
