Another anonymous letter to the editor:
The capture of Greensboro's city government by crony capitalist forces has perverted local free markets and democracy.
We now have a government that doesn't act in the public interest, but is captured by the the Greensboro Partnership and DGI's top members. Our government, now staffed at the highest levels by more and more ex-Partnership/DGI lobbyists/employees, doesn't protect/benefit the public, but works to transfer taxpayer wealth to those who control campaign contribution channels.
I can't think of another reason why the Greensboro Partnership would cover a portion of the cost of Greensboro's DC lobbyist.
Last year, the Triad Business Journal reported the Greensboro Partnership's Kathi Dubel, who was Vice President for New Business Recruitment at the Partnership's Economic Development Alliance, is now working as the City of Greensboro's economic and small business development manager.
That's on top of Denise Turner Roth, the Greensboro Partnership's former lobbyist for governmental affairs, acquiring the role of city manager.
Our local city government is controlled by the Greensboro Partnership and DGI board members.
