Re: police HQ. Not to pick on the OP, but here’s another example of how you can talk about something for years, have a public hearing and multiple Council actions, and many people will still say “they had no idea” and think there’s something nefarious.

COLUMN: Read the latest Viewpoints submission, this time from a Chapel Hill resident who feels a recent change to a longstanding town service is a sign of a lack of transparency. chapelboro.com/town-square/vi…

I love this analysis. “38 meetings has become an ideology, and that’s a problem.” (Paraphrase)

One reason I've not participated in the (often, if not always, mind-numbingly stupid) debates about "Abundance" is because, whatever else might be said, in the narrow sense Bernie is getting at here—not an agenda, but a diagnosis of particular problems—the below seems obviously true

Spent two days in Washington representing and working on behalf of North Carolina. Led a panel on health care transparency, was on a panel with Wisconsin Congressman Bryan Steil, talked with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, Kentucky Congressman James Comer, and some of the President’s Team at the White House. Everyone mentioned to me high respect for our North Carolina Delegation!

JUST ANNOUNCED: Southern Vinyl Manufacturing, a manufacturer of vinyl and aluminum fence and railing products, will invest nearly $2.5M to expand its operations in Lenoir County, creating 5 jobs.

@WCHLChapelboro Don’t park where it says not to park. There are signs everywhere. In that regard I think it’s a pretty transparent system. In the alternative you’re free to roll the dice and take your chances.

COLUMN: On this Viewpoints submission, Cort Bennett shares an open letter to the Chapel Hill and Carrboro community calling for a more transparent and forgiving parking system, which he sees as overly punitive.

Trying to keep in mind that constraints spur creativity. Not really feeling it this morning.

Just a reminder to all lawyers that no one can steal your clients, because you don’t own your clients.

I think a fun running series would be something like: What's that business's actual "business"?
EG: Airlines don't make money by flying ppl around. The profits come from credit cards.
What are other industries whose profit center would surprise most people?

My personal version of “kill your darlings” in drafting is “get rid of all those semicolons.”

Trump says only “some stupid Republicans” have fallen for the Epstein files talk.
Republicans who have talked about the Epstein files include Donald Trump, JD Vance, Kash Patel and many other officials, prominent figures and supporters.
Acyn@Acyn
Trump on Epstein files: It is a hoax started by Democrats and run by Democrats for four years. You had Christopher Wray and Comey before him… It’s all been a big hoax perpetrated by Democrats. Some stupid Republicans fall into the net

@LawyersMutualNC I never used to get these and I’ve had like 6 in the past week!

LM Risk Management ALERT❗
There is a troubling rise in wire fraud schemes targeting lawyers practicing outside of real estate. While these scams were once largely confined to real estate closings, they now affect a broad range of practice areas.

Fascinating how Paramount has borne the bulk of the criticism for agreeing to this payoff. As if Trump is a passive bystander who played no role.
Ed Markey@SenMarkey
Paramount's settlement with Trump over his baseless lawsuit is a sad day for media independence. With Paramount’s merger pending before @FCC, it also reeks of political interference. I will be watching @FCC closely. wsj.com/business/media…

Congratulations to our friends @CarrboroGov for this very meaningful award.
WCHL & Chapelboro@WCHLChapelboro
Carrboro has long been nicknamed the "Paris of Piedmont," but the town can now forever claim another official title: an All-American City. The local government won the award from the National Civic League Sunday evening after a competition in Denver. chapelboro.com/news/local-gov…

Use underutilized land for housing.
Strong Towns@StrongTowns
Turning empty lots into housing that meets the community’s needs—that’s what Muskegon, Michigan is doing with Tax Increment Financing. More productive land use means the city has more money to take care of its public spaces that everyone gets to enjoy and use.

@brianstelter @NY1 Well I’m sorry to say I don’t think we are a better country than that anymore. Maybe we will be again some day

Amazon is coming to Richmond County in a big way!
I am excited for this massive project, which will invest more than $10 billion and create at least 500 jobs.
