Three most likely Republican Districts, instead of one, with a possible RINO, for lack of a better word, in District three.

Three most likely African American Districts, with a possible fourth in District six.

What matters is how many of what persuasion of which kinds of voters actually voted and may likely vote this year.




According to most on Greensboro's City Council, the News and Record and the Rhino Times;

It was okay for Zack to have pushed for Tom Phillips as Matheny's replacement to vote for Zack's salary at DGI while Tom was dating Zack's mom.

It was okay for Ben Holder to get a 'shut up' contract with Barber and Vaughan's implicit blessing. 

It was okay for Hoffmann to vote for some taxpayer money for her real estate and business partners and compete for DGI's lease.

It is okay for Mike Barber to abuse his position to get taxpayer funded golf course time from which he profited.


It was okay for Nancy Vaughan to cover for Don's White Street landfill methane income from Wilbur Ross' ITG.

Our local government and press is corrupt.

Four wide open districts.

The redistricting provides an opportunity to exchange some cronies with some non bought and paid for new blood. 

Well done, as far as shaking up a crooked local government. 


If Outling can beat Hightower in District one, he will have earned it.
