BILEK WAITING FOR APPOINTMENT vs

RIPPLING RIVER ACTIVIST MERRI BILEK IS EXPECTED TO BE APPOINTED TO THE MONTEREY COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY'S BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON DECEMBER 8TH. BILEK WAS EXPECTING APPOINTMENT AT THE NOVEMBER 9TH MEETING (OF THE MONTEREY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS), BUT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OBJECTED, SAYING IT WAS STILL SCREENING APPLICANTS. BILEK SAYS SHE IS OPTIMISTIC THAT THE SLOW PROCESS OF REHABILITATING RIPPLING RIVER CAN BE MADE FASTER BY IMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS.
