Complaints from two local women about the hassles married women face when applying for a new federal REAL ID should be forwarded to the federal government.
The women echo a complaint being made around the country that REAL ID laws burden women more than they do men because women have to show documentation for any name change. For some women, that could mean a birth certificate and then more than one marriage or divorce certificate. Older women have it particularly hard because they have to track down documentation going back decades.
REAL ID has roots from the 9-11 Commission convened to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and make recommendations about future policies. Commission members advocated for a way to make it more difficult for potential terrorists to get fraudulent photo identification and thus was REAL ID born.

It’s unknown if the first complaint the re-established Jamestown Human Rights Commission discussed is under its purview, but the group is moving forward to see what can be done.

How the Jamestown Human Rights Commission will handle complaints and issues has been determined.
During the monthly meeting of the commission last week, the group discussed the protocols that will be used to handle complaints and issues in the community.
Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist said the commission will have to determine how it will decide what issues will be discussed and what action the group might take. He said the commission will have authority over human rights complaints the city receives. For example, if a contractor thinks there is a bias against their company, they can file a complaint with the commission. Or if an individual thinks they didn’t acquire a new job because of a human rights issue, they can file a complaint with the commission.
