With the writing of this sentence, I advance my desire to be more familiar with Democracy in America. In the fourth decade of the 19th century, a French national named Alexis de Tocqueville wrote two volumes of an examination of the system of government in the relatively new United States of America. I have vague memories of reading it over thirty years ago in a political science class at Virginia Tech and I've been meaning to take a look back in order to get a fresh perspective of where we are on February 8, 2025.This is the audio edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement for that particular today and the I in this sentence is me, Sean Tubbs. I've made my career writing about municipal government, giving me a unique perspective into American government for the first three decades of the 21st century.

Can you imagine facing a nightmare in the very place meant for professional growth? Carol Tomka's story, set nearly three decades ago, echoes the chilling experiences that, unfortunately, still resonate in today's workplaces. This episode brings to light the harrowing journey of Carol, who suffered sexual assault and harassment within the confines of her job at Sieler's Environmental Services. Your ears won't believe the denial and legal wrangling that ensued as we walk through the painful reality many face in silence. It's a grim reminder of why the fight against workplace sexual assault and harassment is far from over.As we navigate the complexities of employer liability, Robert Bowe's investigation, and Sealer's internal decisions, we confront the sobering legal battles Carol endured. The courtroom became a battleground for defining the liability of employers under Title VII, with the Second Circuit weighing in on Sealer's responsibilities. This chapter of Carol's saga isn't just about the legalities; it's a crucial discourse on the mishandling of boundaries in professional settings. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the legal framework and the ever-important issue of maintaining respect and safety in the workplace.Lastly, we dissect the legal twists in Tomka's case, scrutinizing the alleged retaliatory discharge and the role of trial in such disputes. This episode doesn't just recount the facts; it delves into the human aspect—the impact of employer actions on an individual's career and the complex dance of proving discrimination in court. By revisiting the Second Circuit's reversal and the settlement that followed, we stress the importance of clear definitions when it comes to supervisor roles and the conditions they create. Join us in a thought-provoking exploration that aims to arm employees with the knowledge to confront and overcome workplace challenges.

Portland is now less than a year away from abandoning the commission-style form of government that the city has used for more than a century. It's a dramatic change, and the plan that Portlanders approved in late 2022 gave the city only two years to prepare. With half of that time already gone, city leaders are racing against the clock to meet that deadline.The mayor and commissioners function as the city council and also directly oversee city bureaus under the current system, but the overhaul will split up those roles. The council will expand to 12 members — three from each of four new geographic districts — and it will only set policy. The mayor will no longer be on the council and will instead oversee a professional city administrator in charge of all day-to-day operations.Jordan previously directed Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services, and before that he was a Clackamas County Commissioner and worked for 11 years at Pacific Power and Light. Jordan was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to help make sense of the new city government structure and provide an update on the progress of the transition process.
