I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.

I was just passed a copy of the Village Broadview's application for a zoning text amendment; it clarifies the village seeks to amend the zoning code to add additional regulations on the "siting and operaration" of prisons and detention centers in the village.

City/county ordinance outlawing these things on public sidewalks please.
I came across *the* example I have been hammering with these food delivery robots.
A man with a mobility aid is forced to step aside because there is not room for him because the robot will not make room for a person (esp. those with a mobility aid who need addditional room)
