Once again, Roy Carroll's John Hammer inaccurate, slanderous libel against a critic of the Rhino Times

It happened on Oct. 13, in an email from Greensboro’s Donnie Turlington

 informing George Hartzman and myself 

that “the City’s Deferred Compensation Committee 

has replaced two funds being dropped by (city retirement plan provider) 

ICMA-RC with two low-expense index funds offered by Vanguard.”

The cost of a “small cap” fund choice for city employees 

fell from 1.24 percent per year to 0.10 percent per year. 

If there’s $10 million invested for participants in the fund through the plan, 

they will save about $114,000 per year.

Devin King

"The focus was so lost that Vaughan scheduled George Hartzman to speak at a work session.

Which ended up saving Greensboro's employees money

in the City's 457 ICMA-RC retirement plan

by guilting City staff into placing low cost index funds 

into investment options,

dramatically reducing participant costs.

Hartzman is known for frequently haranguing the council when speaking from the floor at City Council meetings.

Hartzman is known for calling out John Hammer

for being Roy Carroll's pawn at City Council meetings

and pointing out the Rhino Times false circulation claims  

His conspiracy theories would make a conspiracy theorist blush.

Like how Roy Carroll makes City Council campaign contributions

via the Triad Good Government PAC

Like how Roy Carroll got Water and Sewer for his new hotel

in a Council meeting consent agenda

Like how Roy Carroll got a $2 million sewer line dug under I-40

for his Amex land sale and adjoining property

The Rhino under-reports incentive deals

related to Roy Carroll's friends or Roy,

and scrutinizes deals that compete with Roy and friends

Like how Roy Carroll helped install Zack Matheney to DGI

Like how Roy Carroll may stand to profit from the Megasite

Water and Sewer deal

To invite him in to speak for 30 minutes when the City Council couldn’t find time to discuss the budget was nothing short of bizarre."

This is what winning reads like for those who oppose the status quo; City of Greensboro ICMA-RC 457 retirement plan edition


http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/10/this-is-what-winning-reads-like-for.html

As Roy and Hammer appear to have no problems misleading voters, city taxpayers, their advertisers and East Greensboro, I believe they misled Greensboro's firefighters and police officers invested in the city's 457 retirement plan.

It seems John doesn't care if Greensboro's trash collectors, transportation workers and those who work in this building are overcharged, as long as John goes after Roy's business and political competitors while trashing his enemies.

John Hammer reported that "consultants are not free and the city has already spent a bundle proving" the federal government's plan for 4.6 million employees isn't better than the city's retirement plan, yet the city has yet to produce any documentation showing it paid for a consultant or that what I presented was incorrect.

George Hartzman's, Greensboro City Council Candidate address, June 16, 2015

If you want Roy Carroll, Marty Kotis, Jim Melvin and Koury to own City Council, vote for one of the other candidates.

If you want to pick the winner of this vote for personal political and financial advantage, I am not your man.

If you want to unethically rubber stamp tonight's DGI budget funding Zack Matheny's new job, I am not the guy.

If you want to keep lining Roy Carroll and John Hammer's pockets with taxpayer funded Rhino Times Coliseum ads based on what appears to be bogus, undisclosed circulation statistics...

If you don't want the public to know what private interests stand to profit from millions spent outside the city on the Megasite deal...

Communications between Roy Carroll's Rhino's John Hammer and the City of Greensboro's Donnie Turlington on the Rhino's Circulation numbers

If City taxpayers are paying for Rhino ads
under the impression they reach 70,000 readers weekly
and it's not true, 
taxpayers have been harmed by overpaying for ads
based on false advertising.

Roy Carroll's Rhino Times questionable circulation subsidized by Greensboro's taxpayers

John Hammer is a lobbyist and propagandist
for what looks like a fellow with narcissistic and fascistic tendencies.

Rhino Times; N.C. Gen. Stat § 75-1.1: Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices Under North Carolina Law

Roy Carroll's billboard next to his Bee Safe storage business
used to says the Rhino Times has over 70,000 readers for each issue.

After some rough math 
which both Roy Carroll and John Hammer declined comment on, 
I found it likely the Rhino has been misleading Greensboro's taxpayers,
as Matt Brown runs a weekly Coliseum ad.

If City taxpayers are paying for Rhino ads
under the impression they reach 70,000 readers weekly
 and it's not true, 
taxpayers and the Rhino's advertisers are overpaying via false advertising.

Inflating circulation is a form of theft, 
as advertising rates are based largely on circulation.

The City of Greensboro 
and anyone else doing business with Roy Carroll 
should immediately suspend any advertising, 
payments or barter agreements with the Rhino
until this issue is cleared up.

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/03/rhino-times-nc-gen-stat-75-11-unfair.html

How can the Rhino claim to have 70,000 weekly readers if Roy is only distributing about 17,500 issues per week, many of which don't get read?

If the Rhino uses a false claim of 70,000 readers per week
to sell advertisements to City taxpayers, 
Roy Carroll violated 
N.C. Gen. Stat § 75-1.1: 
Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices Under North Carolina Law
