At the present time,when Commission members attend workshops we are <br /> regularly taught ways of dealing with discrimination against GLBT individuals as this <br /> problem is being addressed in other communities across the nation. I recognize that it is <br /> not my role as president of the Human Rights Commission to enact legislation, but I see <br /> that other communities are moving forward on this issue. I'm concerned South Bend <br /> may appear backward to the very companies we are trying to attract to our community. <br /> In conclusion, the HRC stands ready to enforce any legislation enacted by the <br /> Common Council that will prohibit discrimination in our community. As noted in the <br /> 2005 HRC's statement to the Common Council, "The South Bend Human. Rights <br /> Commission is an agency of the City of South Bend, Indiana, committed to fair and equal <br /> treatment of all human beings. It is the responsibility and duty of the Human Rights <br /> Commission to make sure that no Duman being is mistreated based on status, without <br /> making value or moral judgments." Feel free to share this with the other new members <br /> of the Common Council who may want to review this history. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Penny Hughes, Chair <br /> Human Rights Commission <br /> Office Phone: 291-2342 <br /> Cell: 276-2571 <br /> Email: peMsold@aol.com <br />
