For those who celebrate Passover - chag same’ach, and if you celebrate Easter - wishing you a happy Easter. With this season of renewal comes a reminder of the power of people to persist, endure and thrive when we work together.

Last week, we welcomed the arrival of spring with a ribbon-cutting for the new Drakeford Library Complex in Carrboro. Also arriving - the quadrennial property revaluations in Orange County, which were mailed to property owners on March 21.  Values are up - a LOT, and there are understandably a lot of questions.  In this post, find five of these questions, with answers. You'll also see a schedule of revaluation information sessions at locations across the county.

Today we mark International Women's Day, and as we began Women's History Month last Saturday, I was honored to attend the National Association of Counties (NACo) Legislative Conference in the nation's capital, together with Commissioner Jean Hamilton. Areas of common concern were raised by county leaders around potential changes in the federal budget - changes that would have major impact on women, families and EVERYONE.

Happy New Year, Friends - I hope that you and yours have had restful holidays, and I am grateful for your support in 2024.
