Greensboro Looses $1 Million Dollars And Hides Evidence

As George Hartzman reported on January 11, 2014,  the City of Greensboro Comprehensive Annual Financial Report listed the Total Fair Value of the City Investment Portfolio. aka, the Rainy Day Fund as being $272,083,730.  George also pointed out that the  Total Fair Value of the City Investment Portfolio in 2012 was $1 Million dollars higher than 2013.

I suggested in a post on my blog that then Mayor Robbie Perkins had used the money to pay off personal debts and thousands of dollars in IRS leans after testifying in court that he had no money for child support and alimony. Of course I wasn't really serious but something amazing then happened: Someone hacked into my blog and removed that very post. I was notified by Blogger.com that someone else was logging in and out of my blog from another location but it wasn't until I went searching for that January 17th post that I discovered it missing.

You see, on Janurary 17th, just minutes after I posted my comments concerning Robbie Perkins, George Hartzman included me on the following Public Information Request:
       
"to Inforequests, donnie.turling., Jim, Rick, me
please provide details as to how the pot of money at the following link went down.

The link to the 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report http://www.greensboro-nc.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=22141 no longer produces a readable .PDF file.

And yet the link to the 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report http://www.greensboro-nc.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=18104 continues to work-- why?


I'm sure the disabled link will work again soon. Will the documents be doctored? Don't forget there are those of us who have already downloaded the original 321 page document. Wouldn't want to compound your problems, would you?

I've since enable 2 stage log-in of my blog. Anytime someone tries to log-in Blogger.com gives my cell phone an automated call with a newly generated 6 digit code that must first be entered. Consider yourself fucked, Mr Perkins.
