No action on human relations should inspire action by voters
   
After reading the article, “City human relations panel still on hold”
(March
    10), I found it amazing how many pretexts city council uses to avoid
activating and supporting a committee that is needed in the City of
   
Wilkes-Barre. The mayor has submitted a list of appointments for
confirmation,
   
but city council is still dragging their feetThis tends only to enhance
Wilkes-Barre’s so-called reputation for being a racist city.
   
The affected community and its supporters should take a long, hard look at
some of the city council members when election time rolls around.
