Proof how corrupt Greensboro's local press is, along with Greensboro's elected leadership

Monday, December 14, 2015; Nancy and Don Vaughan Political Graft?; Don's payments from ITG while Nancy served on the Solid Waste Committee

Insider trading by Don and Nancy Vaughan
using free methane for Wilbur Ross' ITG
to line their own pockets, 
compliments of Greensboro's taxpayers,
which the News and Record and the Rhino Times won't report,
as they are complicit in letting it happen

It's A Gas, Nancy

But the oldest listing on the 1998-2014 Archived Meeting Agendas, Minutes & Videos page is August 15, 2006, almost 2 years after then City Councilman Donald Vaughan lead the effort to give away, free of any cost, over $1,000,000 Dollars in Methane gas produced by the City owned White Street Landfill to Cone Denim LLC, a subsidiary of International Textile Group Inc.

It just so happens that Donald Vaughan is legal council for ITG and is said to earn $20,000 a year from the landfill deal part time legal gig.

No questions asked
by the News and Record or the Rhino Times, 
no denial by the Vaughan's,
equals a compromised Greensboro press corps

And for those who might not know, Donald Vaughan is married to Greensboro Mayor Nancy Barakat Vaughan.

According to the Minutes of the Nov 1, 2004 City Council Meeting, Donald Vaughan was in attendance that night but did recuse himself.

Sunday, November 15, 2015; "Our city has never shied away from difficult discussions" Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan

A free street and water and sewer for Roy Carroll, whose Rhino Times endorsed candidates who voted for his taxpayer funded hand outs, while he appears to have funded multiple candidates via the "Triad Good Government" PAC.

Income for the Vaughan's via free methane from the White Street landfill while Nancy served on the Solid Waste Committee.

No questions asked
by the News and Record or the Rhino Times, 
no denial by the Vaughan's or requests for retractions
equals a compromised Greensboro press corps

Mike Barber's extortion of Cyndy Hayworth to get Zack to be Greensboro's biggest campaign contributor's taxpayer funded lobbyist.

...The Say Yes to Education and Say Yes Guilford program, which appears to have made some undoable promises to the City's poorest, while allowing Mary Vigue to lead the due diligence effort on the program, who then got hired to lead the local program, which then asked for City taxpayer subsidised office space.

The City of Greensboro blowing off a legitimate taxpayer inquiry concerning the Rhino Times circulation numbers and links

A great example is Wilbur Ross' 
International Textile Group's years of free methane 
from the White Street Landfill, 
hoisted on taxpayers by former council member Don Vaughan, 
who profited from the deal 
with the governmental/regulatory defense of Mayor Nancy Vaughan 
as a city council member on the Solid Waste Task-force
which has been written about on blogs over and over
without rebuttal from the Vaughan's or City Staff
or our local compromised press.

Monday, November 2, 2015; Nancy Vaughan (D) Pre Election Campaign Finance Report; (R) Marty Kotis - $1,000 and Roy Carroll

How about Don Vaughan, who has made hundreds of thousands from the White Street methane deal while his wife Nancy served on the solid waste commission?

Saturday, October 24, 2015; Matheny. Lomax, Hammer, Barber and Vaughan; Greensboro is Corrupt; An Adaptation as our press has been compromised

It's okay for Greensboro's Mayor Nancy Vaughan 
to cover for Don's White Street landfill methane income
from Wilbur Ross' ITG
which the Rhino and News and Record won't report.

A comment on Eric Ginsburg's Triad City Beat poorly researched journalistic garbage on Greensboro City Council campaign contributions

Monday, October 5, 2015; Marty Kotis angling for more city of Greensboro money, using taxpayer funded Zack Matheny as his lobbyist; "City might help"

One could ask Mike Barber or Nancy Vaughan,
but don't bother as the same news outlets 
won't report on Barber's taxpayer funded First Tee of the Triad
or Vaughan's taxpayer funded methane take.

Tuesday, August 18, 2015; Dear Bessemer Curb Market's Harold Powell, buy some politicians or marry like Don and Nancy, and get some City of Greensboro money to maintain your business

As our local press and Greensboro government has been compromised, 
if anyone has any new information 
concerning Nancy and/or Don Vaughan
on the White Street Landfill methane payoffs to Don
while Nancy covered the scheme on the Solid Waste Commission
or any other backroom deals the Vaughan's may be involved in,
please contact RecycleBill@gmail.com

Some of Don and Nancy Vaughan's income has been directly associated with lost tax revenue from free White Street Landfill methane for Cone Mills.

If Mayor Nancy Vaughan
can make money from Greensboro's taxpayers
funneled to her husband Don
via free methane for Wilbur Ross and ITG execs
while Nancy served on the Sold Waste Committee,
it's okay for Zack to unfairly use his position as City Council member
to land the top DGI job
and Mike Barber to profit from taxpayer funded golf courses?

Ever wonder why the News & Record, 
the Rhino or Yes Weekly haven't reported news
of local corruption involving politicians they endorsed?

Thursday, August 13, 2015; The blatant hypocracy of Susan Ladd and Warren Buffett's News and Record

The News and Record has never asked
how much have the Vaughan's received
from Cone Mills/Wilbur Ross for free methane from the City of Greensboro
while Nancy served on Council and the Solid Waste Commission.

Tuesday, July 7, 2015; The big money D and R contributors are very interested in keeping the Greensboro's districts just like they are.

Nancy and Don Vaughan on the take from White Street methane.

We have been misled by the news and record.

Sunday, July 5, 2015; From a Facebook thread on Greensboro's redistricting

Nancy, How much did you and Don make 
from free White Street Landfill methane for Cone Mills
while you served on the solid waste committee?

Sunday, June 28, 2015; Greensboro Partnership and Rentier Capitalist Propaganda in the News and Record

Maybe City Council and DGI believe that if Mayor Nancy Vaughan
can make money from Greensboro's taxpayers 
funneled to her husband Don
via free methane for Wilbur Ross  
while Nancy served on the Sold Waste Committee,
it was okay for Zack to unfairly use his position as City Council member
to land the top DGI job.

Wednesday, March 11, 2015; Democracy and a free press no longer exists in Greensboro, North Carolina

Our aristocracy'a ‘news’ media block out the truth regarding the most important issues, like Roy Carroll's back door sewer line paid for by Greensboro's taxpayers, the ones that voters most need to know about, like how much our current mayor's husband made in the free methane at the White Street Landfill, in order to vote intelligently.

More than a dozen mentions of Don and Nancy's Methane take without a call for retraction or threat of legal action, and the News and Record and the Rhino Times won't report it, or apparently even ask about it.

Doesn't it seem odd?
