However, my question still stands, mainly because I really don't know the answer, as to whether the black community has really experienced any major advantages relative to their actual quality of life since this law changed the voting system. Why don't you interview Commissioner Purnell and ask him? Perhaps you could do the interview with Jim Purnell around the time of the anniversary of Judge Young's decision, April 5th. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Now the African-American community has representation on the County Commissioners. I am well aware of that and count Jim Purnell as a friend. I have interviewed him on a few occasions as Commissioner, visit his sister in law in the Berlin Nursing Home and see Jim at Showell school as he is a bus driver along with his duties as County Commissioner. However, my question still stands, mainly because I really don't know the answer, as to whether the black community has really experienced any major advantages relative to their actual quality of life since this law changed the voting system. Just because a black Commissioner was elected does not miraculously change the status of African Americans in Worcester County. |
