"I was appointed by the N.C. Senate to the UNC Board of Governors by Senator (Trudy) Wade and Senate President Tempore (Phil) Berger," [Marty] Kotis wrote. "They have been very supportive of our efforts for greater transparency and oversight by the full board."

"It's official: Greensboro has a Midtown

Maybe there was a time when Midtown was only in Marty Kotis’ mind.

Not anymore.

The city of Greensboro has placed signs — small though they may be — officially designating the Battleground Avenue corridor dotted by so many of the developer’s properties as Midtown.
Kotis said the designation — blue signs posted at RED Cinemas and at Grecade Street — will help him as he tries to attract more retail to that area of the city.

Politically Greensboro is thoroughly corrupted and economically too deeply controlled by the likes of Roy Carroll and Marty Kotis to extricate itself. Morally we are without direction, rudderless in dangerous seas and heading for the rocks with Nancy Vaughan, Mike Barber and Zack Matheny at the helm, working as pawns of the country club inside crowds advocated for by Susan Ladd's garbage, reality-less advocacy pieces published outside the confines of the opinion pages.

Is Marty Kotis buying City of Greensboro property for less than the appraised value illegal?

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/01/is-marty-kotis-buying-city-of.html

North Carolina and Greensboro's leadership and sold-out press have made a joke of our community and state.  They perverted and rotted our economy from within.  Our elected leaders have lined their donors' pockets in exchange for campaign donations and signs on commercial properties and billboards. 

These 'leaders' and their financial backers have ignored the travails of the average income citizen.  We want good paying jobs back, as Roy Carroll, Marty Kotis and the Koury's among others at the top of our local food chain effectively opposed living wages and basic worker rights via purchased state legislators and crooked, crony backed legislation.  Think about how much more money Marty and friends can make by more easily firing newly pregnant restaurant servers and hotel house keepers.  Just on insurance premiums, these fine folks living off the rest of us who hire and pay low wages to those, who if they say anything about it are immediately fired without any governmental intervention.  Many used to call it slavery.  Now it's the same thing, without the stigma as it has become something of a national pastime for the 1%.

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/05/greensboros-danger-is-connected.html

If 'we' are dumb enough to believe 
with the help of Marty Kotis, Roy Carroll, and Koury Corporation 
are paying to tell us to believe
which is what the bible thumping morons on the local far right
are are saying they believe, in direct contradiction to basic rationality,
there is seriously something very wrong with our local society
and our local political and economic establishment are in on it.

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/04/how-stupid-are-you-no-really-how-stupid.html

Marty Kotis appears to be saying he doesn't want any gays anywhere near his properties
or eating at his restaurants because they are gay or trans
by not asking for his money back from those in North Carolina's legislature
who have lost thousands of jobs for our state

I wonder is all the City Council members in Greensboro 
are going to give Marty the money he purchased them with back
because he favors discriminatory legislation

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-few-trudy-wade-campaign-contributors.html

Marty only extracts rent from most of the restaurants on his properties, which the News and Record's Allen Johnson doesn't seem to understand.  But Allen doesn't understand basic economics, so that's what we have for an 'opinion leader'.  

More like a cheerleader of the uneducated variety whom everyone likes to look at anyway.

Doug Clark and Allen Johnson didn't understand or foresee what happened last time the economy tanked, and their jobs are to not know or report as we decline once again.

They, along with the Triad Business Journal, are just cheerleaders for the 1%.
