By: Diane Benjamin Today we celebrate both Martin Luther King and the inauguration of Donald Trump. It is fitting that both fall on the same day. We will now return to King’s dream of judging individuals on the content of their character instead of installing the unqualified in positions of power. Equity is dead. People […]

By: Diane Benjamin The County Board never voted on forcing County employees to attend mandatory training in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
