...A group of local organizations and individuals including USDA Coalition of Minority Employees, Montgomery County Green Party and more sent a letter to the Department of Justice and members of Congress calling for an initiation of receivership to oversee the hiring process for new board members. 

“What is essential in this moment is not deliberate speed, but deliberation—with vigorous public input and oversight to ensure that any actor involved in the racism, sexism, corruption, and illegal activities is removed from Montgomery County office and is held responsible to the fullest extent of the law, ” the groups wrote in the letter.

The council will interview the top candidates in a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 25. They will hold a vote on the appointments on Thursday, Oct. 27.
