Fifty-eight percent (58%) of the votes favored changing the name, but the SUN bylaws require sixty-six percent (66%), so the measure did not pass and the name will remain the same. The Front Porch encourages residents to share with us your response to the community discussion and outcome of the vote, which we will include in our June issue (if received by 5pm, Wednesday, May 23).
Although we don’t typically accept anonymous comments, we hope to reflect a full range of views on the discussion and vote, and also hear your thoughts on moving forward as a diverse and inclusive community. Post here, on Front Porch Newspaper Facebook page, or email Melinda@FrontPorchNE.com or Carol@FrontPorchNE.com.
