Abstract:
Durham County Commissioners approved a development deal with Southern Durham Development (SDD). The measure, passed 4-1, approves an SDD commercial project near Jordan Lake to hook-up to the county's sewer system. Plans include construction of 1,300 homes and commercial space which the project's dissenters believe will further pollute the already endangered area around Jordan Lake.

Abstract:
Durham County is planning to build a $44 million dollar new jailhouse to open in 1993. This is in response to a lawsuit which ruled overcrowding in the current jail violated the civil rights of inmates. Opponents say the jail is too costly and improving the justice system would be wiser. Reducing bail and speeding up trial dates would save money for other priorities like education.

Some are wondering who is responsible for the problems surrounding the construction of the Durham Performing Arts Center. The city owes millions on the project and the cost of the project has gone beyond its initial projections. The center’s oversight committee will not have much power to monitor the operating agreement the center has with its promoter and booking company. Also, many of the employees who will work in the center will not be able to make a living wage working there.

Abstract:
After being dismissed from Duke Hospital for allegedly refusing to commit perjury in a malpractice trail, Marie Sides is suing for wrongful termination. But first, she had to secure a precedent-setting ruling from the North Carolina Supreme Court for the right to sue on those grounds. The ruling was needed because North Carolina employers can fire non-contractual employees for any reason, including their refusal to do something unethical.
