Metro briefs: Anoka voters get the final say about Human Rights Commission
By Star Tribune staff Text size Copy shortlink:
The fate of Anoka s Human Rights Commission will go to the voters after the City Council on June 7 voted 4-1 to uphold an ordinance that dissolved the group and removed it from the city charter.
Earlier this spring the council voted to end the commission and suggested it carry on as an independent nonprofit. Residents who objected to the move collected more than 380 signatures on a petition forcing the council to revisit the issue. Having a Human Rights Commission makes it so it can advise the council, said Council Member Erik Skogquist, who voted in favor of repealing the ordinance and keeping the commission. Without it, you have no ability to advise the council. The point of the commission is they provide a different set of ears. Maybe there is a compromise.
