The town of Chapel Hill hosted a performance entitled “public hearing” Oct. 19, where the speakers and message were controlled by town officials to make it look like there was little opposition to their back-room deal.
Mayor Kevin Foy’s office discouraged folks with concerns about the proposal to speak, except as a single group, while encouraging or allowing those in favor of the proposal to speak in larger numbers for longer periods of time.
