[Vision2020] Something to Consider . . .

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings to Mayor Chaney and the Moscow City Council -

Here's Boise's anti-discrimination ordinance (after Sandpoint and Pocatello adopted theirs) . . .

Question:  Where's Moscow's anti-discrimination ordinance?

Oh, that's right.  I almost forgot. 

The City of Moscow can't even pass a non-committal ordinance, while cities around us are passing ordinances unanimously.

Sidebar:  How's that cell-phone stipend payin' out, city council?  Wouldn't want to deny you something you feel you are entitled.

Seeya round town, Moscow, because . . .

> The LGBTQ anti-discrimination ordinance was unanimously passed by Boise City Council 5-0. The citywide ordinance prohibits discriminatory acts in employment, housing, and public accommodations based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.
>  
> “This is a huge win for our community in Idaho,” said Boise resident Emilie Jackson-Edney, a Pride Foundation board member who had testified before the council about the ordinance.
>  
> “There were no employment non-discrimination protections for me in company policy or codified on a statewide level,” Emilie said while testifying at an earlier ordinance hearing. “If I had been fired, there was no avenue of recourse for me to follow. What you are doing now is a logical progression to extend those protections through the ordinance process to encompass the entire city – because it’s the right thing to do.”
>  
> The ordinance will take effect on January 1, 2013.
