Things are Ducky in Davis

By Alan "Lorax" Hirsch

Congrats are in order as Dillan Horton ends his long tenure as Chair of the Police Accountability Commission and helping navigate the complete rethinking of policing in Davis. This change is best exemplified by this picture off social media from F Street between North Davis Pond & Cannery hi rises.

Police cartoon make way for ducklings

Capitalizing on Dillan's success, have heard a rumor Council is now thinking of combining Police Accountability Commission with Open Spaces and Habitation Commission …and also possibly the Street Safety/Transportation Commission. Similar to an earlier proposal in January 2024 to combine the city's Human Relations Commission (after its great successes!) with the Public Arts Commission.

Thinks are so Ducky in Davis.

    See:

    “Make Way for Ducklings” is a favorite/award wining children’s book with police officers who care for urban wildlife.
    Worth enjoying the art even as an adult.
    A gentler Zeitgeist when big cities were all considered made up of communities like Sesame Street. What we want Davis to be today.
