A 14-member Task Force charged with coming up with ideas on improving the criminal justice system in Mecklenburg County will hold its first meeting today. The meeting, which is open to the public, is set for 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in room 267 of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 E. Fourth St. in uptown. Members are expected to get an overview of the local justice system, and learn more about the Task Force's expected work. Mecklenburg County commissioners agreed in May to form the crime Task Force, and appointed its members earlier this month. The group will be led by former Superior Court Judge Shirley Fulton, and Harry Nurkin, retired CEO of Carolinas HealthCare Systems. The group is expected to offer recommendations to county commissioners by September. According to a county news release, the Task Force is given the green light to recommend allocation of resources to make the most effective impact on crime and justice, taking into account new criminal justice budget provisions made by Mecklenburg County and Charlotte City Council, as well as legislative needs at the state level. The group will meet about six times. After today, the next meeting is set for 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. July 30, also at the Government Center.

 Gov. Deval Patrick and the leaders of the Massachusetts House and Senate are hoping to help citizens cope with increased energy costs this winter.    They’re creating a Task Force with five Cabinet secretaries and four members of the Legislature that will offer public recommendations within 60 days.    Senate President Therese Murray says the panel is needed now because of the lead time required to implement any changes. House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi agreed.    The price of home heating oil in New England has jumped 87 percent since the winter of 2005-2006. It now costs 4.71 a gallon.    It will cost more than $3,750 to heat the average Massachusetts household with oil next winter. That’s up from $1,800 two winters ago. ...

The Mineral County Commissioners on Tuesday appointed four county residents to a new litter Task Force, charging them with developing a “blueprint” for the unprecedented litter-control initiative. Commissioners President Janice LaRue agreed to serve as the county representative on the five-member Litter Control Task Force. The other members named Monday are: William Nichols of Ridgeley, Tom Youngblood of Keyser, Karen Hartman of New Creek and Dan Stemple of New Creek. Commissioner Wayne Spiggle, who helped to spearhead the group’s formation, applauded the residents’ willingness to serve on the Task Force. “This is a blue-ribbon committee...,” he said, noting the members’ qualifications and commitment. “I’m very encouraged and really appreciative.” Spiggle said there are no specific guidelines for the group’s responsibilities, but state officials may be able to offer guidance during the Task Force’s initial organization process. “I look at this as a think tank,” he said. “We will look to them for a blueprint and strategy for cleaning up the county.” In other business, Marc Bashoor, the county’s director of emergency management, briefed the commissioners on progress at the new 911 center near Keyser High School. “We have four walls, and hopefully we will have roof trusses on later this week,” he said. According to Bashoor, work is proceeding on schedule, with the building set to be finished by late November or early December. Howeve ...
