In addition, PA PAC endorsed candidates in each of the ward races, although none of them require a vote in the primary to narrow the field. Expect a more detailed analysis of the candidates in the PA PAC endorsement newsletter coming to you before the primary election. PA PAC will hold another endorsement meeting before the general election to consider any races in which endorsed candidates fail to make it through the primary. However, to vote in the endorsement process you must have been a PA member in good standing for at least 60 days prior to the meeting. For more information or if you are interested in participating, please contact Amy Vincus at 484-0404.
Smart growth is about more than just reducing traffic congestion and school overcrowding.
It is also extremely relevant to central city, minority and low-income communities. Sprawl can affect Jobs and Entrepreneurship. In Atlanta, Hewlett-Packard recently scrapped plans for a second office tower because management felt it couldn't ask workers to live in Atlanta's sprawling, congested suburbs. A Smart Growth community retains its quality of life and thus its best employers. These kinds of Smart Growth needs exist in Durham.
