#wcpss #nced #ncpol #wakepol #ralpol Long Twitter thread incoming about Wake County school board campaign finance reports. SBOE still hasn't posted the 3rd quarter reports yet for Doug Hammack & Chris Heagarty. The biggest donors by far are Dean Debnam, the owner of Public Policy
Polling, & his wife, Sesha. They each gave max $5,600 donation to the 7 Democratic backed candidates whose 3rd quarter reports are on file, for a total of $78,400. If they also gave max to Hammack & Heagarty, then it would reach $100K. The Debnams provided most of the money for
Monika Johnson-Hostler & Tara Waters. There's no one person or couple who has given nearly as much to the GOP backed candidates. For instance, reports show Bob Luddy gave money to only some of the GOP candidates. Here's how much each candidate has raised as of the 3rd quarter. If
A vote to Baldwin, Melton, Forte, and Lawson is more power to landlords, who, under the guidance of Triangle Apartment Association, looked for loopholes to evict residents during COVID Lockdown. #eviction #ralpol
Loebsack & Brownlee PLLC is the law firm advising landlords and the folks from TAA, and during COVID lockdown, they recommended that landlords "cleaning out some of the bottom-of-the-barrel tenants". We remember #eviction #ralpol wfae.org/local-news/202…

Not sure @DanielParolek would appreciate Raleigh's most outspoken housing reform group, @RaleighLivable using his work to defend their continued opposition to missing middle housing and affordable housing.
What do y'all think? #ralpol

In their latest claim, @RaleighLivable says Raleigh has made all 5 of the mistakes @DanParolek warns against in this excellent talk:
Guess what? THEY'RE WRONG!
Raleigh is allowing missing middle with his best practices in mind.

Raleigh already has rules and protections in place that address the 5 mistakes that Dan Parolek mentions.
despite his recent @newsobserver article @RussForRaleigh KNOWS this because many of those protections were put in place while HE WAS ON COUNCIL. Thanks for those rules.

Tuning into the Raleigh City Council Annual Retreat virtually on this sunny afternoon #ralpol
I prefer to watch on youtube so I can rewind a little to catch up cause I always tune in a little late :)
Raleigh City Council Annual Retreat opened this afternoon with @maryannbaldwin speaking about needing big ideas on housing, homelessness, development, Dix Park, sports stadiums, convention center and civic campus. #ralpol
Two months ago I began asking community members what they wanted to ask #ralpol candidates.

I got nearly 150 questions and tons of comments. Here's what we did with them. 1/
We looked at those questions/comments for themes and settled on 15 yes or no questions. Some candidates weren't happy with the yes/no format but we felt it gave people a firm idea of where people stood without the normal wiggle room. 2/
With the help of @queenalma19 we created interactive questionnaires for each of the races that we hope are useful in making your election decisions.
