The Budget has been officially passed! The HB 443 was also passed. @councilwomancurtis.bsky.social and Denise Gray were the sole No votes on the ZOTA. I love writing about planning and zoning, but I am grateful to close the HB 443 ZOTA chapter of my CivicLex career (at least for now).

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
