La igualdad de oportunidades es algo que atesoramos - cuando es realmente igual. El Bashara Boathouse notifi có recientemente a un candidato el día antes de dar comienzo su celebración de que no podía llevarla a cabo con la excusa de que allí no pueden tener actos políticos. HUMM! Nos parece recordar otras reuniones políticas en el Boathouse. Cualquiera que haya tenido una experiencia similar con ellos debe comunicarse con nosotros. Mientras tanto, algo similar ocurrió en el Senior Center de Lawrence. El Centro de Ancianos tiene una política de no permitir actos políticos en sus instalaciones, ya que es parte del gobierno de la ciudad. Foros y/o debates se permiten ya que se considera benefi cioso para la comunidad en general y no por un candidato específi co. El pasado sábado, 25 de junio 2011, el ex presidente de la República Dominicana y candidato a la presidencia en las próximas elecciones, celebró una reunión allí. Según la administración, el partido político reservó la sala diciendo que iba a venir a hablar de la situación económica actual en la República Dominicana. En su lugar había un mitin político, con cerca de 800 seguidores en la asistencia. Es irónico que cerremos el Centro de Ancianos a los políticos locales, pero está disponible para los candidatos de países extranjeros. NNECCECC En la reunión mensual del Concejo de Ancianos del 28 de junio 2011, la junta votó por unanimidad solicitar una opinión legal del abogado de la ciudad en lo que respecta ddiceice a esa materia.
