Ed Kitchen is lobbying along with Jim Melvin for the City of Greensboro to borrow and spend $22.5 million on water and sewer down 421 to a Megasite 10 miles away from a Megasite already equipped with water and sewer that is already certified.

The Bryan Foundation is using its local prowess to convince City officials to go along with their scheme, which will enrich Ed Kitchen and Jim Melvin's cronies on the deal.

As the Bryan Foundation funds both the Wyndham Championship and Action Greensboro, this looks like it was a big Ass Kiss for Westmoreland, to keep him working to fleece Greensboro's taxpayers for the benefit of private interests associated with the Megasite and development along the water lines everyone in Greensboro would have to pay for, which is outside the City limits.

If this is the case with Westmoreland, what meetings etc... have occurred with City Council Members?

Updated; Who would be stupid enough to spend $22.5 million to get water and sewer to a Megasite, about 10 miles away from another that already has it?
