The City Council voted last night on a resolution to endorse the work of the GTRC. The resolution, introduced by Councilwoman Claudette Burroughs-White, failed on a 6-3 vote along racial lines as had been predicted.
Is Councilwoman Burroughs-White the City Council's version of Skip Alston, by forcing a vote and playing the "race card".
Looks like it to me.
UPDATE: Roch corrects my post in his comment. Seems the resoultion voted on was one made by Councilman Robbie Perkins to "oppose" the TRC program.
Councilwoman Burroughs-White still "forced" a vote by introducing her resolution. Councilman Perkins offered his "substitute resolution", and Mayor Holliday couldn't get a motion to table (although he tried) so a vote was forced on the substitute motion. It passed 6-3.

Representative Burroughs White introduced a resolution that called for the city to support non-violent conflict resolution. It did not mention the TRC. There was no vote on her resolution as it was replaced by a substitute motion made by Robbie Perkins. Perkin's motion was to "oppose the Truth and Reconciliation Program" (whatever that is). It passed 6 to 3.
