Carlisle, PA Borough Council creates Truth and Reconciliation Commission, reported The Sentinel. The members are: Raff Donelson, Andrew Razanauskas, Kendall Isaac, TaWanda Stallworth, Emily Kelahan, Dorene Wilbur and Tristin Milazzo.
Councilman Sean Shultz said the council received a large
number of applicants, creating a “deep pool of applicants” for the positions on
the commission.
“I think this is going to be an incredible step forward for
the borough,” he said. “I think the group that we have together is really going
to move this ball forward and provide the council with some meaningful,
actionable steps that we can take to improve life in this borough.”
Terms for the commission members are effective immediately
and will expire on Dec. 31, 2022.
The borough council passed a resolution creating the
independent, nonpartisan commission at its March 11 meeting. Its goal is to
improve racial justice and racial equity within the scope and jurisdiction of
Carlisle Borough Council.
The commission will look at policies, practices and actions
that have contributed to racial inequity and systemic racism.
Its first order of business, though, will be to hold its
first meeting within 30 days and to submit a proposed mission statement to the
borough council within 60 days.
