Rights ordinance moves toward Cedar Rapids council approval

The Cedar Rapids Human Rights Commission approved a revised ordinance to create the Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission and streamline operations.

The commission also reviewed case reports and two discrimination findings against a local manufacturer while several other cases were closed or settled.
