Eva Young wrote: I think it's unfortunate that Bob Fine won reelection. His reluctance to take John Erwin's amendment to explicitly state the agreement with De La Salle must include a non-discrimination clause spoke volumes. I'm rather surprised that Stonewall endorsed Fine. Bernstein in my view would be more concerned about discrimination against gays and also church/state separation with the deal with De La Salle.
I write: I listened and watched that whole board meeting on webcast. I was surprised that what Liz W. had reported in her earlier post as CM Erwin's positive stance on the non-discrimination amendment (NDA) was really just missed timing. I did not hear any opposition to the addition of an NDA. What I heard was that this was not the place to be adding that amendment. The board was voting on whether or not to accept the CAC proposal. The time to add ant NDA would be when the reciprocal use agreement is written. We all probably hate to see legislators in the state and federal governments propose amendments that have nothing to do with the original bill being discussed or up for a vote. I think that CM Erwin should just make sure to put a sticky note on his monitor to bring that up again when the time is right. Always willing to be corrected, gently, Rick Kuhlmann HPDL REMINDERS: 1.
