[consulting] Keeping Web Sites Updated

[George Lee]

Whatever is reliable, which I would guess is the latter -- but hoping
there's a good way to find paid folks less intense than full-out
full-price web developers, since it's just about maintaining web
sites.

Peace, community, justice,
- George

  Help stop the youth jobs crisis! 9000 youth jobs across
Massachusetts are being cut. 5500 youth who apply in Boston won't get
a job.
  Support the campaign to save youth jobs. Youth want jobs in order to
prepare for their future and decrease violence. Help keep our
communities strong and safe!

  Pass CORI reform now! The Massachusetts House of Representatives
will vote on CORI reform the next few weeks. Help us make sure they:
(1) eliminate the checkbox from applications, (2) reduce the waiting
periods for CORI's, and (3) remove "dismissed" and "not guilty" cases
from people's records.
