By a 6 to 1 vote, the Chapel Hill Town Council voted last night to support the land transfer tax that will be on the May 6 ballot. This News & Observer blog describes the reasons for the lone dissent by council member Matt Czajkowski.

For information on the transfer tax, here are resource Web sites:

You’ll find the county’s Web site here.

You’ll find the anti-tax Web site of Citizens for a Better Orange County here.

You’ll find the pro-tax Web site of Orange Citizens for Schools and Parks here.

On a separate note, check out the last item in the N&O blog about a move to update the 1961 Picketing Ordinance and create a Civilian Review Board. The 1960s are alive and well in Chapel Hill.
