Update after the Commissioners’ Vote

The work continues, even though the vote didn’t go the way we wanted it to. Let’s be clear: we didn’t ask for modifications. We asked for removal.

We’ll continue to update this post with coverage of the meeting last night, with the hope that one day soon, we’ll be able to share better results from another vote to remove.
