Yes Weekly's Jeff Sykes on Mike Barber's taxpayer and Jim Melvin paid for First Tee of the Triad golf racket

Mike Barber is owned by Jim Melvin funding First Tee, 
and is obviously Roy's boy per John Hammer's early endorsements.

"Greensboro City Council member Mike Barber, himself the head of a non-profit that receives money from the City of Greensboro and the Bryan Foundation...

Most of City Council, including Barber who skimms taxpayer money via First Tee
is relatively broke, 
which is why most are so inexpensive to purchase with nice dinners 
and campaign cash.

...Barber himself has taken in some $286,250 in salary from his non-profit between 2012-2014, according to available federal tax records.

Barber is also Jim Melvin's boy (See First Tee of the Triad),
who is stuck with relying on Melvin and the City for his income
by skimming about 25 cents on the dollar from every penny "given" to First Tee.

Barber also continues to vote on matters before council that benefit the Bryan Foundation and its subordinate initiatives such as the megasite project in Randolph County. Records show that the Bryan Foundation gave some $250,000 to the City of Greensboro to benefit Gillespie Park, where Barber’s non-profit First Tee of the Triad operates its youth golf initiative."

Mike Barber admitting he misled Greensboro's taxpayers and electorate on the Aquatic Center


Barber is the perfect stooge, as he is reliant of Melvin and friends
of whom Mike has voted taxpayer monies for the Megasite
without any news outlet until now reporting

This looks like why Mike Barber freaked out about naming salaries of non profits doing business with Greensboro.


Arthur Winstead Jr., Treasurer for Mike Barber's City Council Campaign, appears to have given $250 and didn't get paid, but charged First Tee a relatively higher $15,000


As Mike Barber is a direct beneficiary of Bryan Foundation money
via First Tee of the Triad,
through which he pads his income along with Greensboro taxpayer support 
it appears Mike Barber has a conflict of interest
and should not vote on any item associated with the Bryan Foundation
or the Randolph County Megasite project

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?

180 Existing Mega Sites and Now 181: "And then what? What's next?"

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/02/180-existing-mega-sites-and-now-181-and.html

Two different stories, two different demographics, two different outcomes, two different worlds, two sets of rules

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/02/two-different-stories-two-different.html

How many times does it take to get scammed by some of our elected leadership
who are lining the pockets of their friends and campaign contributors?

Remember when Robbie Perkins personally profited 
from getting taxpayer funded water and sewer to the old Pilot Life building?

Remember when Robbie, Zack and Nancy Vaughan voted to give Roy Carroll 
a sewer line under the highway for Roy's AMEX property, 
which guranteed water and sewer to Roy's other property next to it?

Remember when then Greensboro mayor Robbie Perkins
negotiated a $19 million deal with the county 
to bring water and sewer lines to eastern Guilford County
and open up 9,000 acres to development?

Remember when Mike Solomon with The Timmons Group 
said the Project Haystack team had been in conversations with Burlington and Greensboro 
regarding an estimated $15 million water supply line extension from Burlington 
and a $20.1 million sewer line extension from Greensboro? 

Remember the economic feasibility study that said if Project Haystack was fully built out, 
it could generate $39.1 million in state and local tax revenue?

Remember when Solomon said the Project Haystack team started conversations with landowners, 
and worked to form a nonprofit entity and an interlocal agreement,

just like the Randolph deal?
