Tammi Thurm worked for Randall Kaplan and Kathy Manning before voting them $30 million on December 19, 2017, which included them owning retail space in the parking decks;

"Chief Financial Officer and Human Resources Manager, Listingbook, LLC 2006–2013

"...On Dec. 19, the City Council voted to build a six-story, 850-space deck on South Davie between February One and East Market Street. It’s being built in conjunction with a Westin Hotel behind Elm Street Center.

The hotel project involves several developers, led by local attorney George House and by Randall Kaplan, a local businessman and philanthropist. Kaplan’s wife, Kathy Manning, announced early last month her candidacy for the 13th Congressional District in Greensboro.

Under the plan, the city will reimburse Kaplan and other developers up to $30 million for the decks

...The Westin will be built on top of one side of the deck. The other will include retail space that the developers will own."

The Thurm Campaign paid off Mayor Nancy Vaughan for support, 
which has never been reported, paying some of her salary via donations
to her 'former' employer;

Meanwhile, Tammi Thurm's current employer "Chip, former US Senator Kay Hagan's husband", who's brother David Hagen made $586,000 on the real estate transactions for the TPAC;

"...the proposal for the deck on February One Place is a mess, giving control over design and construction to a private corporation led by Randall Kaplan and George House. One council member, a law partner of House’s at Brooks Pierce, cast several votes related to this project before recusing himself due to his conflict of interest.

At the very least, the City Council appears to be guilty of cronyism — tailoring policy to benefit friends and business associates rather than to the whole city."

Two reasons among many that a GPAC with 3,000 seats probably won't work as well as DPAC with 2,700 seats

Operating expenses and debt service for the two decks is expected to total $4.6 million per year 
— an amount covered by revenue from fees, existing parking funds and the city’s general fund

Why would Greensboro Performing Arts Center Parasite Kathy Manning give Nancy Hoffmann $1,000?

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2017/08/why-would-greensboro-performing-arts.html

Randall Kaplan and Kathy Manning are married, to each other

Tammi Thurm was "Chief Financial Officer and Human Resources Manager, Listingbook, LLC 2006–2013,
and Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Operations, Capsule Group, LLC 2002–2013",
Both owned by Randall Kaplan, which is why Tammi should have recused herself from voting
for Randall Kaplan personal financial interests, but didn't
