Mayor Turner Partners with Faith Leaders and Labor Unions to Assist Houstonians Recovering from Winter Storm
February 28, 2021 An army of volunteers led by Mayor Sylvester Turner, the National Association of Christian Churches, and several labor unions provided relief supplies to thousands of Houstonians during a mass distribution Sunday afternoon.
Organizers planned the event to assist families recovering from the recent severe winter weather. The mass distribution served more than an estimated three thousand vehicles and 10,000 people. As cars pulled into the NACC headquarters warehouse on Air Center Blvd, volunteers handed each occupant a hot lunch and placed cases of water, snacks, a meal kit to last four days, and other relief items in the backseat or trunk.
Letter to the Editor: Vacaville has trustworthy City Council
In the midst of mud-slinging at the new Vacaville City Council, let’s take a look at the new council members themselves and what they plan to do.
Jeanette Wylie spent decades teaching students in Vacaville. She also is a leader in her church, and a leader in her teacher’s union. She will be an asset on the City Council. Her priorities are to operate government in a transparent manner, neighborhood parks, affordable housing, transportation routes to accommodate our growth and great schools.
Mike Silva has also spent his career helping others. He is a professor of biotechnology, served two years on the Vacaville School Board and was the president of the Solano County School Boards Association. He will lead efforts to create opportunities for good careers by supporting local businesses and economic development efforts, as well as support affordable housing and better schools, reinvest in youth and senior programs, and s

NORWALK, Conn.
While Mayor Harry Rilling sought to cool temperatures, two of Norwalk’s three Police Commissioners issued a sharp response to State Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff’s statement Monday condemning Police Chief Thomas Kulhawik, made in response to the release of the Norwalk Police’s investigation report into Duff’s allegations.
Tempering her statement by referring to both Senator Duff and Norwalk Police Chief Thomas Kulhawik as “professional, competent and ethical,” Commissioner Fran Collier Clemmons said in an email: “I have read the document and I am at a loss of understanding for the maligning of Chief Kulhawik by Senator Duff,” Commissioner Kelly Straniti dismissed the ac
The validity of any investigation is obviously dependent on the independence and integrity of the investigator. At the time of the incident I tried, on behalf of CONECT, to call for an independent, out of house investigation at a City Council meeting and was ruled out of order. This investigation may have been entirely objective but you don’t ask the foxes to investigate the raid on the chicken coop. The optics are just bad.
OMG, unbelievable. Duff still thinks he has some moral high ground. I for one am in full support of our stellar Chief of Police Tom Kulhawik. Duff demanded disciplinary action, but claims the Chiefs time would have been better spent doing other things. (why because the results/truth was not to his liking). Put off his testimony until after the election to impede the investigation for his political gain. A thorough investigation was done, 30 interviews, and guess what, it was all on tape. Duff lied plain and simple, used this incident for political gain. Malign
