I am a correspondent with the PBS NewsHour (happy to prove it's really me) and am working on a story about the future of the Department of Justice.

You can feel free to comment below and I might follow up with you over DM, you can DM me here, or email/text me at either arogin (at) newshour (dot) org, or on Signal at PBSAli.41 These are the questions I'm looking to have students answer: 1) Would you consider joining the DOJ? If so, why? If not, why not? 2) If you answered yes to 1, is a signing bonus an attractive perk? 3) If you answered no to 1, would you have a different answer if the administration in office were different and treated the DOJ differently? 4) If you answered no to 1, and wanted to still enter public service, are you hoping to work in state or local government in a legal role? I may follow up with you to confirm things, but all of this would be on the basis of anonymity I would not be directly quoting anyone or referring to specific schools. Thank you for your consideration.

Asheville Residents Who Missed Public Comment - Public Comment Rules

REPORTER REQUEST: Looking to speak with someone who was not able to give public comment on RTIC REPORTER REQUEST: Looking to speak with someone who was not able to give public comment on RTIC Hi, Asheville Politics. I'm a freelance reporter with Mountain Xpress and I covered the May 13 meeting when Asheville City Council accepted a grant to fund a real time intelligence center (RTIC) for APD, extend a contract with Axon and start a contract with Fusus. As many of you have no doubt heard, there was a long list of people who who signed up for public comment on the issue. Mayor Manheimer announced at the beginning of the meeting that public comment would be cut off after one hour. However, by the time public comment on the RTIC issue began, many people who had previously been "outside" the gallery in the hallway were now inside in the gallery, and may not have heard the mayor's remarks about the one-hour cut off. For that (and many other reasons), lots of people were extremely upset about not having a chance to speak during public comment that night. I'm looking to speak with individuals who waited until the public comment period about RTIC issues and were unable to speak after the one-hour time period was up. I'm looking to speak with you about your thoughts on public commenting rules, NOT your thoughts on the APD or the RTIC. I can be reached at jessica dot wakeman at gmail dot com. Thank you in advance.

Why or why not? • Where would you most likely travel? (Denver, Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, airport connections, etc.) • How often do you think you'd ride? • What would make the service attractive enough for you to choose it over driving? • Do you have any concerns about the project, such as travel times, frequency, cost, station access, parking, neighborhood impacts, safety, funding, or reliability?

Virginia Child Welfare Attorney - Parent Overdose & Child Removal

When a parent overdoses and ends up in the hospital, could it result in a CPS call? At what point does a child get removed from the home due to drug use? I'm writing a story and doing some research. I'm in Virginia, not sure how different the laws are from state to state regarding mandated reporting. If a parent overdoses while in the home with their child, and it's the child who calls 911, does that warrant a CPS call? If so, who would be responsible for making the call, between the paramedics at the scene, hospital staff, etc? Would the police also be called in this situation? Would this event alone warrant separating the child from the parent? In my story, the parent is estranged from the rest of the family, so there'd be no one to take the child. Would he end up in the foster system? I'm also wondering if this would bring about any charges or potential jail time. Would the police search the parent's home, and potentially charge her with possession? Does overdosing with a child in the home constitute a crime? My first thought was child neglect, but I'm not sure. Would the parent be at risk of having her parental rights terminated? The school I work in has a social worker, and she's said it can be really hard to terminate parental rights, even when it's what's best for the child. But when I was reading about it, I saw VA has a legal deadline for parents to remedy the situation before CPS applies for their rights to be terminated. It sounded like it was pretty set in stone, but the school social worker made it sound like it's in the hands of the judge. What's been y'all's experience? For what it's worth, the story has a happy ending, and the child and his mother reunite eventually. I just wanna do my due diligence in accurately portraying their struggles as best as I can. Thanks for your help!
