Human Rights Commission finds lifeline; eliminating state parks agency off the table

Here’s a link to my full story on the Human Rights Commission’s announcement that it may move to the state Department of Labor as its state funds are cut - Labor receives no state general funds - and here’s a link to my full story on Gov. Butch Otter’s announcement today that he and state Parks Director Nancy Merrill have a plan to cut $4.5 million from the state parks department next year, but not to eliminate it.

It’s all a lot clearer now. These moves were obviously in the works before the big January speech when suggestions so outrageous and unpalatable were made that when it’s finally announced the $4.5 million in savings (read: cuts) have been discovered at parks and rec, all the various advocate groups are supposed to be relieved…..what kind of leadership is that?
