An article reports: “It was revealed a month ago that the three-member board of county commissioners will look at abolishing the HRC, which has been investigating complaints of racial, employment and housing discrimination here since 1964, as a cost-cutting measure.
“County residents could receive the same services from the state Human Relations Commission, supporters of cutting the local HRC have said, and closing it would save almost $470,000 annually out of a current county budget of $150 million.”
WATCHDOG: The same $470,000 directed towards the library system would make a huge difference in the quality of life of the approximately 2500 people who utilize county libraries over the course of each day. The question therefore is not whether having a county as well as a state human relations commission has some merit, but rather what are the alternative use of the funds.
Robert,
How about using the money to stop civil rights abuse against “todays” actual victims. Fathers [and the fatherless children byproduct].
I personally won my case but expended every penny I had amassed and added debt. At each and every juncture I fought against fully funded womens innitiatives. Taxpayers money funding gender discrimination.
Lets get back the 14th amendment for men and eliminate debtors prisons here in America. I contend this is a greater priority than the library though I know it is a favored subject.
How is it that everyone knows a father victim and knows that fathers are abused and lose it all due to discrimination, but there is zero concern to correct the wrong.
As the Lancaster city HRC told me: “Bring us a gay father who has lost his child and we will take a complaint”
Well there you have it. NOT
