Columbus City Council on Oct. 21 confirmed three nominees to fill seats on the Human Rights Commission.

Timothy Green said, "I want to leave Columbus better than I found it," and Claire Sims described herself as eager to volunteer and represent the community. Dr. Amy Hale introduced herself as a physician and an interested commission member.
