Some members of the Durham City Council urged the body to take a formal vote of confidence in City Manager Patrick Baker at a meeting Thursday.
The proposal followed a challenging week for Baker. He was criticized publicly by defense attorneys for his close supervision of the Duke lacrosse rape investigation, and he was forced to accept the resignation of the city's new solid waste director after trash across the city went uncollected.
Does the article indicate WHY the trash went uncollected? Was someone collecting "evidence"? Were public employees involved in "collecting evidence"?
