A Conversation With John Brown: Part 3

This is a continuation of A Conversation With John Brown, an attempt to learn more about the man who claims he wants to become the next Mayor of Greensboro.

Sadly, when I attempted to discuss issues with Mr Brown he responded by having his attorney, Paula A Wells of Connors Morgan, PLLC, 1175 Revolution Mill Dr. #8, Greensboro, NC 27405 send me a Cease and Desist letter.

I just don't get it. The Greensboro News & Record writes that John Brown is a co-owner of Jessup Services. Yes Weekly writes that John Brown is a co-owner of Jessup Services. But when I send Mr Brown an e-mail asking about his ownership of Jessup Services, he denies owning it and has his attorney, Paula A Wells send me a threatening cease and desist letter claiming John Brown has nothing to do with the business.

Has John Brown threatened the News & Record or Yes Weekly for saying he co-owns Jessup Company? JWBlasingame of Conservatives For Guilford County writes that John Brown is a local business owner. What business would that be? Is John Brown's business a secret? Does he run a strip club? A brothel? Is he a drug dealer? What does John Brown not want us to know? Who campaigns as a business owner but denies owning a business?

 Now seriously Ms Blasingame, you are among the people who received the e-mails I sent to John Brown. I was asking the man questions, was I not? Now who in their right mind hits someone with a cease and desist letter for asking questions?

Did John Brown actually show the e-mail to his attorney?

I ask that because those of us who saw it all know the dumbest thing he could have ever done was exactly what he did.

And why would John Brown and his attorney deny his owning Jessup Company in an e-mail to me after it was reported not by one but by two print newspapers? And Jean, you know I never wrote anything bad about John Brown's wife or her company in those e-mails that I'm not currently allowed to show you because of this stupid cease and desist order.


I also don't get why Mr Brown's attorney, Paula A Wells wrote:

"Although Mr. Brown is well aware he will be the object of scrutiny because he is running for public office, and although Mr. Brown is willing to refute any and all false accusations by any means available to him during this campaign, you should be aware that any false statements that you make about Jessup Company may leave you vulnerable to a lawsuit for trade libel by Jessup Company."

You see, while Ms Wells' cease and desist order stops me from sharing the actual e-mails I sent to Mr Brown, the truth is: I never said anything about Jessup Company except to ask Mr Brown to clarify his ownership of the company and potential future conflicts of interest as Jessup Company is listed as a City of Greensboro contractor:

I mean, haven't we had our share of conflicts of interest already? Am I wrong to question the possibility?

Another thing I don't understand why Ms Wells wrote was:

"Moreover, neither Suzanne Brown nor Jessup Company are running for office.  Mr. Jones, you are free to challenge the truthfulness of Mr. Brown’s statements, as he is running for public office.  But you do NOT have the right to do so by making false statements about Jessup Company or, in fact, about Mr. Brown."

You see, all I wrote to Mr Brown was questions, trying to clarify ownership of his company and the relationship of his company to the City of Greensboro. It was only after he told me he doesn't own the company that both the News & Record, Yes Weekly, and the NC Secretary of State all report him as owning that I brought up his wife, her relationship to the company, and a possible relationship to the previous owners of Jessup Company.

Sadly, I can't share those e-mails with you under legal threat.

But there are things I can and will tell you. But before I move on to the next part I want you to read and study this campaign handout used by Mr Brown and commit it to memory as I will be referring back to it in A Conversation With John Brown: Part 4.

You know, I've never needed an attorney. I successfully fought a trumped up embezzlement charge in my mid twenties and did so without an attorney. Even when I successfully sued the City of Greensboro I didn't hire an attorney. But I have always heard you should never lie to your attorney. Do you think Paula A Wells would have sent me that letter has she known everything I'm going to tell you before I end this series?

Because if she did know these things.... Well, you know.

A Conversation With John Brown: Part 2

Prior to yesterday no bad words about Mr Brown had ever been published here at EzGreensboro.com but when I started asking questions of Mr Brown he replied by having me contacted by his attorney, Paula A Wells as seen in her letter which I published in Part 1 of A Conversation With John Brown.

As Mr Brown's attorney,Paula A Wells  has hit me with a cease and desist order I cannot share with my readers the actual content of my e-mails to Mr Brown. But what I can do is reply to the statements made by Ms Wells in her e-mail to me.

In it Ms Wells writes:


"Jessup Company is fully and independently owned and operated by Suzanne Brown.  Jessup Company was purchased by the Browns in 2001 – Ms. Brown is not related to any prior owner of Jessup.   Mr. Brown surrendered his ownership in the company in 2009 as he does not have any major role in the company.  In fact, the business is WBE certified, which certification involves a strict process to prove that the business is indeed owned and controlled by a woman.  Mr. Brown never said that he was never “an” owner of Jessup.  He said that he is not the owner now." 

Well Ms Wells statement may well be true but when she writes  "Mr. Brown surrendered his ownership in the company in 2009 as he does not have any major role in the company." Well that seems to conflict with documents from the NC Secretary of State which show Mr Brown's current Roll as President of Jessup Company.

Now who is lying, John Brown or the NC Secretary of State? How can the President of any company not have a major roll in the company?


And the fact that Mr Brown converted HIS company to a WBE Certified business sure as hell isn't going to play well with women and minority voters, is it?


Attorney, Paula A Wells also writes in her letter:

"There has never been a lawsuit for sexual harassment or hostile environment filed against Jessup Company."   

But Jennifer L Spargo did file an EEOC claim against John Brown and Jessup Company on Feb 20^th 2009 for sexual harassment, So technically Ms Wells is correct, John Brown has not been sued but the complaint for sexual harassment is very real.

Are Mr Brown and Ms Wells willing to take me to court and endure a discovery process to prove me wrong?


And folks, that's not all the things Mr Brown doesn't want you to know but you'll have to wait for A Conversation With John Brown: Part 3 to read the rest.


All because I dared to ask him some questions.


Please continue reading A Conversation With John Brown: Part 3

A Conversation With John Brown: Calling The Bastard Out

Now before we continue our Conversation With John Brown let's discuss the claims Mr Brown has been making about himself.

We'll begin with the first one"

"Greensboro resident for 30 years"

Except that as a resident of Liberty, North Carolina, John Brown filed personal bankruptcy in Randolph County in 2011while listing his home address as 5415 Cook Collier Road, Liberty, NC. 27298.
"Local entrepreneur, business owner, employer and inventor"

Except that his attorney sent me a letter stating that Mr Brown doesn't own the business and therefore it would stand to reason that since he doesn't own the business he is most likely not an employer. I donno, maybe he employs illegal aliens as house keepers? I hear that's pretty common among well to do conservative politicians.

"Supporter of local arts, charities, businesses and community development programs"

Really? Which ones?

"Capable, experienced, and successful at planning and executing large projects efficiently"

Seriously? After reading all of A Conversation With John Brown I think we'll all understand why his wife has assumed control of the business. I mean, the dude can't even answer simple questions like who owns your business without hiring an attorney to threaten me.

"Holder of multiple professional licenses"

Now Folks, this one is near and dear to my heart. First off, according Yes-Weekly and several other publications:

"...Brown holds 9 state professional licenses..."

But what professional licenses would those happen to be? What were the requirements for getting them? And considering all the little white lies Mr Brown has told us to date, is this but another little white lie? Did any of the journalists who reported this actually see Mr Brown's  9 state professional licenses or did they all just assume him to be telling him the truth?

Then there's the time and effort it takes to get professional licenses. Some are quite easy and others are quite hard. Back when I got my first Commercial Drivers License I only had to take a written test and pay a small fee. These days it involves going to school.

When I got my professional certification as a North Carolina Weighmaster I filled out an application, paid a small fee, and mailed the whole thing to the State Department of Weights and Measures who sent people out to do unannounced visits on my operations from time to time.

When I became a Notary Public I spent a few nights taking classes on the High Point campus of Guilford Tech. But when my mother became a Notary years before she simply filled out a form and paid a fee.

When I got my certification as a 3rd party, North Carolina Class A Drivers License Examiner, then Lieutenant Commander Russell Wrenn of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles came from Raleigh to Greensboro and certified me personally. You know, not many people who aren't actually employed by the State have ever been allowed to give road tests for Commercial Drivers Licenses.

I was also professionally certified as a driver training instructor. I don't even remember what I did to get that.

Getting my professional certification as a North Carolina Transfer Station Operator required that I drive my then boss' new Cadillac to Asheville, spend a weekend in a 5 star hotel, dine in 5 star restaurants, and take about 10 hours of classes over the course of a 2 day period. All at company expense. I met 5 or 6 City of Greensboro employees there who took the class with me. Did I mention I got paid for the trip?

And folks, I'm the guy with the fake high school diploma.

Fact is: I've held several other professional certifications and licenses over the years but never 9 at one time as most require recertification every few years. So again, which professional licenses does John Brown hold and what did he have to do to get them?

"Excellent at managing details while keeping a clear focus on the goal...."

Who makes this shit up? We're talking about John Brown, the man who can't even answer simple questions without freaking out and hiring his attorney in an attempt to stop me from asking questions. John Brown, a guy who cannot even manage his own personal finances and is forced to file personal bankruptcy.

Oh yeah, and then there's the subject of this series: The cease and desist letter I got from Mr Brown's attorney Paula A Wells stated:

  "They did own a property on Fairview Street to warehouse equipment when they were sited on Battleground Ave., but they sold that in 2012 in order to consolidate the operations at 205 Atwell, which Ms. Brown purchased to house her business."

Well it just so happens that if you dig in deeply at the Guilford County Register of Deeds you will discover the story Ms Wells is communicating might not be exactly as she claimed it to be.

Sue me, John Brown. Have your wife sue me. Sue me on behalf of Jessup Company, Scrubby Doo, Inc, Air Force One, Inc, PortaCan, or any other so called, business you might own now or have ever owned before. I DARE YOU! Let's see how well your two bit lawyer does in a court room. Maybe I'll countersue and get enough money for a lung transplant.

I'd continue but frankly I'm bored with John Brown, he's simply another pseudo-conservative nut case preaching faux conservative values like personal responsibilities while running out on his personal debts by filing bankruptcy while hoping to use a position in Greensboro city government as a means to increase his own personal wealth.


Update: 9:21 PM From Roch Smith jr who wrote the Yes Weekly article I cited above pointing to Mr Brown's supposed 9 professional licenses:

"Did any of the journalists who reported this actually see Mr Brown's  9 state professional licenses or did they all just assume him to be telling him the truth?"

No. I did not confirm. Probably should have, but I don't mind making clear that I was only going by what Brown told me."

Guess that about wraps it up.

A Conversation With John Brown: Part 4

This is a continuation of my ongoing series, A Conversation With John Brown.

Think of how let down committee chairman for the Guilford County Republican Party, Clark Porter must now feel after being such an adamant supporter of John Brown.

Of course, it's not like Mr Porter hasn't been sued for several counts of defamation and liable himself.

That's right Clark, the court records are online now.

As the News & Observer reported about the incident:

"But it's a sorry state of affairs when someone can accuse you of a crime without properly vetting or researching the facts."

Why am I bringing this up? Because when Clark Porter endorsed John Brown I tried to warn Clark that he was making a mistake but rather than heed my warning, Mr Porter ridiculed me and accused me of lying, creating fake news.

You see, these guys will say and do anything to win. Well anything except vet the people they support for public office. Apparently both parties have no grasp of what vetting a candidate is really all about.

Speaking of vetting the candidate. John Brown's attorney Paula A Wells wrote:"At one point in time, Jessup Company, when owned by both of the Browns, was sited at 3116 Battleground.  They leased the building.  They have never owned it.  They moved in 2005. To insinuate that they had anything to do with any fire at that address is not only untrue but defamatory. Furthermore, it doesn’t even make any sense, given that they did not and have never owned it and moved from it 12 years ago. They did own a property on Fairview Street to warehouse equipment when they were sited on Battleground Ave., but they sold that in 2012 in order to consolidate the operations at 205 Atwell, which Ms. Brown purchased to house her business."Now I'm not saying an esteemed organization like The Law Firm of Paula A. Wells, PLLC, 631 S Elm St, B, Greensboro, NC 27406 would lie to protect a client but I have turned up some documents that suggest... Well, I'll just let you decide what the documents suggest.

As for the property on Atwell Street, the property Jessup Company is currently sited on. Well according to the Guilford County Register of Deeds, Mr Brown and his wife own the property jointly.

But Mr Brown doesn't stand to gain anything should Jessup Company do business with the City of Greensboro? Okay, if Mr Brown says so.

As for where the Brown's live. Their current Greensboro home was purchased in 2016 as referenced by the warranty deed.

But as to Mr Brown's claim that he has been a resident of Greensboro for the last 30 years. Well it just so happens Mr and Mrs Brown filed joint personal bankruptcy on July 8, 2011, were discharged on October 18, 2011, and the case terminated on January 11, 2012.  All in Randolph County.

Notice the address, 5415 Cook Collier Road, Liberty, NC.   But if you click here Mr Brown claims "Greensboro resident for 30 years"

Now had Mr Brown been willing to speak with me we could have possibly sorted this mess out before I even learned of his bankruptcy, but rather than answer my questions he chose to hire an attorney in an attempt to silence me. Is that the kind of people we want running Greensboro government? Then Councilman Zack Matheny attempted to silence me by talking Rocky Scarfone into suing me. When that didn't work Zack directed Greensboro City Attorney Thomas Carruthers to sue me. Carruthers refused. Is John Brown another Zack Matheny?

You see, I learned a very long time ago, never, ever antagonize a man who has nothing to lose unless you are truly willing to lose all.

Interestingly enough, back in 2013, when then Greensboro Mayor Robbie Perkins files personal bankruptcy, 72% of the respondents to a News & Record survey said he should resign as Mayor of Greensboro.

And yes, I do have all 66 pages of the Brown's bankruptcy proceeding and more cool stuff. But we'll save that for another day.

Subject: Whole new ballgame

Mr. Brasier,

In your article dated May 26, 2017 you wrote about a parking deck.

According to your article this parking deck would be designed and built by Mr. Carroll at a cost of $30 million.

How well received will Mr. Brown's scrutiny of the owner of the Rhino Times be

by John Hammer as he gears up to write on the coming City Council elections

within the pages of Roy Carroll's newspaper?

However, in the next paragraph you indicated the city (taxpayer) would own and operate the deck at an annual operating expense and debt service of $2.5 million per year. Which would be funded from parking receipts, existing parking fund revenues and the general fund.

It doesn't matter if John Brown is a conservative, 

if John Hammer is a propaganda minister for a local fascist oligarch

who sucks on the tit of taxpayer pots of cash

provided by bought and paid for politicians like our current mayor

and most if not all of our current City Council

I find it difficult to believe that the parking receipts would generate a reasonable amount to offset this large number? Also, the existing parking fund runs a deficit of nearly $600,000 per year. Which only leaves the general fund to cover this annual $2.5 million.

Like the Triad Business Journal is going to do any actual investigative reporting

If a taxpayer would simply use 3rd grade math they would find this parking deck will cost them $50,000,000 over twenty years alone (20 x 2.5). It just seems the more we involve government the more the taxpayer has to cover the expense.

Has any local news source announced that John Brown is running for mayor?

Could you explain to everyone how this is a “grand slam for the ones who pay the bills”

Another issue would be the effect on many local charities who collect limited funds by offering parking in nearby after hour’s spaces. Which if we use the same logic as the GPAC will create a larger loss for the private arts sector. Thus the current mayor has created a task force ($75,000) to study how the taxpayer can offer more tax $$ to keep them open.

Mr. Brown:

Good points.

Our article was centered on the proposed new building near the ballpark.

We will provide further info on the parking deck very soon.

John

The forthcoming information will be a disappointment

to anyone remotely literate with a calculator

The Triad Business Journal is a local trade publication

spewing good news about local business pursuits

Unfortunately, I found out through personal experience

what John Brown is finding out about information dissemination

in these parts

There are no more real journalists around Greensboro anymore,

except Roch Smith Jr. and Jordan Green sometimes 

John Brown Is Lying Again?

Previously I reported to you how Greensboro Mayoral Candidate John Brown attempted to silence me by threatening me with a law suit but quickly turned tail and ran when I called his bluff. Now this so-called God fearing Christian Conservative is making an $8.9 Million Dollar claim he cannot back up.

In a move that is typically seen on fake news websites, John Brown links to The Carolinian on his campaign website with a reference "confirming" his $8.9 Million Dollar claim (#17 on his list) but the few readers who actually click on the link will find the article, April 4th City Council Meeting makes no reference to the $8.9 Million Dollar purchase of the News & Record building in downtown Greensboro.

 The News & Record building wasn't made available for sale until September 2017 but John Brown links to an April 2017 article thinking all of HIS SUPPORTERS ARE TOO STUPID to actually click on the links. Typical fake news website.

 That said, I believe the City intends to purchase the building but as Roch Smith jr points out in his article Does mayoral candidate John Brown know something we don’t?

"I wrote to Brown, remarked that that was quite a scoop and asked if I could cite him as a source for that information. He did not reply, but the claim remains on his website."

This is typical of John Brown. My quarrel with Mr Brown began when I expressed concerns that his company, Jessup Services is a City of Greensboro contractor and if elected, might use his position as Mayor to build his business. When pressed, Mr Brown denied owning the company. Later it was learned he had put the company in his wife's name as a means of securing Women and Minority Bidding Status.

Something I wasn't aware of at the time was that the Brown's also own and operate a company called Air Force One, Inc.Wonder if he'll lie about that too?

It's Us Against The Ringers

Definition via  Merriam-Webster.

When I was a child my Daddy taught me about Ringers, specifically,

 "one that enters a competition under false representations"

It was common practice back in the old days for every mill to have its own baseball team. Cone Mills had a team that played home games over at the old ball field across from Revolution Mill on Yanceyville Street.

Dirt track racing was common in my Daddy's time as well. Greensboro had a dirt track located where the Greensboro Coliseum stands today.

And as with most sports, gambling on the winners was big business even though it was and remains technically illegal.

As part of his efforts to teach me the dangers of gambling my Daddy taught me of Ringers at a very young age.

Because much of Daddy's time was before television, it was still possible for the biggest names in most any sport to assume fake identities and compete in the lower leagues whenever they had the time to do so. And those who controlled the gambling along with some of the biggest gamblers, we more than happy to pay these professionals to come play at the amateur level unbeknownst to audiences and competitors alike.

Sometimes Ringers were even brought into college athletics.

Here in GReensboro we have not one, not two, but three candidates for Mayor of Greensboro who are in fact:  "one that enters a competition under false representations" aka Ringers.

How's that? you ask.

Well let's begin with our current Mayor Nancy Barakat Vaughan. Nancy Vaughan ran on a platform of honesty and transparency but then as was reported by Margaret Moffet of the Greensboro News & Record, Mayor Vaughan charged over $8,000 in personal legal expenses related to her divorce from Donald Vaughan, to the City of Greensboro. And was leading the effort to build a downtown performing arts center part of her original platform for Mayor? No one in East Greensboro would have ever cast a ballot for her had that been her platform. As a matter of fact: Nancy Vaughan has repeatedly made promises to help people while continuing to run up expenses for monuments to rich white people.

Pretty much meets the definition of "one that enters a competition under false representations" don't you think?

Then there's Diane Moffett who lives in Jamestown but rented a house in Greensboro the very same week she filed to run for Mayor.

Now I realize that Reverend Moffett is a preacher and probably a very nice person but think about the implications of moving people to a city simply to have them hold elected office. Let's say for instance that Greensboro's moneyed interests, the rich folks behind the curtains, decided they weren't happy with who we, the people, elected to office. They could hire popular actors, sports heroes, retired business executives, military officers, etc, to move to Greensboro at the last minute, run for office, get elected based on nothing but their popularity, and become puppets to the wealthy overlords. As a matter of fact: If you'll take a look at Diane Moffett's campaign website with no platform and only her personal accolades shown it would appear that might have already happened.

Are we going to allow Greensboro to be run in this way?

And then there's John Brown.....

John Brown makes the following claims on his campaign website:

"John Brown has been a Greensboro resident for more than 30 years."

 Except that as a resident of Liberty, North Carolina, John Brown filed personal bankruptcy in Randolph County in 2011while listing his home address as 5415 Cook Collier Road, Liberty, NC. 27298.

You can read numerous more pages debunking John Brown's lies by clicking here. The documents are there to back it up. Take my word for it, John Brown is a Ringer.

Me, I was born in Alamance County Hospital in 1956. My parents lived in nearby Gibsonville in Guilford County on what is now called Prison Farm Road. We moved to the east Greensboro home on Textile Drive where I live in today in 1956 along with one of my three younger brothers. My two youngest brothers were born in Cone Hospital.

In my youth I drove trucks and did construction work for a living, took several job transfers and briefly lived in Chicago, Dallas, Coburn, Va, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Baltimore, and Compton, California but was never in any of those places long before returning home.

I've management experience in the recycling industry, trained drivers, been a mechanic and worked briefly in the structural engineering department at Carolina Steel where I learned I wasn't cut out to spent my days at a desk.

I grew up in what was then called the Bessemer Community here in east Greensboro, went to Bessemer Elementary School, Bessemer Jr High School (Grade 5), Aycock Jr High School, one year at Mendenhall Jr High, and three years in the first all integrated class at James B Dudley Sr High School where I graduated in 1974. My family were members of Bessemer United Methodist Church from 1958 until it closed in January 2017. Part of my family now attends the Presbyterian Church of the Cross on Phillips Ave.

My son, an only child,  died of a massive heart attack a few years ago and I now watch after my 85 year old mother and drive her everywhere she has to go.

I'm real, I'm blue collar working class, I believe in putting people first, and I'm anything but a ringer.

Good Bye Nancy Vaughan; Jessup Services' John Brown running for Mayor of Greensboro in 2017

"John Brown is ready to shake things up in his run for mayor. The 55 year-old entrepreneur is co-owner of Jessup Services Company in Greensboro, a plumbing, electrical, heating and air company. Brown holds 9 state professional licenses and is the inventor of a device that autonomously mows grass along highway guard rails 24 hours a day. He is high energy, full of ideas and eager to take a hands-on approach to the job of mayor. He says he wants to be “the voice of the taxpayer.”

Brown says economic development efforts are focused too much on the region and not enough on Greensboro itself. He wants to give preference to Greensboro companies on city contracts. He also wants to sit down with established local companies, find out who their suppliers are and then recruit those companies to Greensboro. He sees such an active approach as the job of the mayor.

Brown says he’d take an active role in other issues too. He says disparities in minority hiring for city contracts are less about race and more about a good ol’ boy network which he says he has experienced first hand. He says contractors try to help their buddies get work on projects even if they have promised to hire minority subcontractors. Brown says he would address this as mayor by personally making unannounced visits to city-funded projects to see if promised minority participation is actually happening.

...Brown too is big on transparency. For him, it’s a pragmatic necessity for citizens to understand what their government is doing and expose unwarranted secrecy. He cites an example where he had to fight bureaucratic red tape to learn that the city engages in a practice whereby taxpayers are lead to believe funds are being allocated to fire and police, but which really is a scheme to cycle money back into into the general fund for other purposes.

...Deception and Malfeasance

Brown explains what he says he discovered like this: He says the city buys vehicles it then “leases” to the police and fire departments at a rate above their cost. He says the police pay $92,000 into the general fund to lease a patrol car for five years. In this way, according to Brown, the public is deceived: Taxpayers are told money is being spent on public safety, but it is being passed through public safety budgets in the form of excessive vehicle charges collected from the police and fire departments only to be shunted to other expenditures, says Brown.

The upward spiraling cost of the downtown Performing Arts Center is another area where Brown thinks the public was misled. In addition to the escalating cost of the center itself, Brown finds it dishonest that concerns about parking were waived off as unimportant when the center was being debated and, now that we are committed, the city says it needs $30 million for a new parking deck next to the center. It was a “bait and switch,” Brown says of the project that was initially described as costing $55 million and is now over $108 million counting the new parking deck..."

A Conversation With John Brown

A few weeks ago I attempted to have an e-mail conversation with candidate for Greensboro Mayor, John Brown about a number of concerns I had that I hoped he would clear up. But rather than clear up my concerns. Mr Brown decided it better that he send attorney Paula A Wells to threaten me with a cease and desist letter instead. You may click on the images to enlarge them.

Funny this is: John Brown could have explained any of those things to me but chose not to do so. I waited weeks on his reply. E-mailed him multiple times hoping to get a reply. And now I get threats.


My reply to Ms Wells,

"Tell Mr Brown he fucked up!"

Oh, and I added a link to this post.

Seriously, I'm a dying man, you think lawyers scare me. Google Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Please continue reading A Conversation With John Brown: Part 2

Technically

In discussing A Conversation With John Brown, Roch Smith jr of Greensboro101.com wrote the following to me:

"A man is driving down the street late at night, tired and thirsty. He sees a convenience store with a sign that says "Open 24 hours" so he pulls in, parks and walks to the door only to find it locked.

Seeing someone inside, he shouts through the door "The sign says you are open 24 hours."

The man shrugs and shouts back, "Not in a row."

John Brown says he has been a resident of Greensboro for 30 years and he did live in Randolph county for years. But he is old enough that, if he lived in Greensboro prior to moving to Randolph County and back, he may have accumulated 30 years of residency here. Just "not in a row."

That could well be true, we don't know. But John Brown, like so many who seek power here in Greensboro, stopped talking and threatened me with a law suit when I started asking the tough questions.

Nancy Vaughan stopped talking as well. So did Tony Wilkins, Mike Barber, Zack Matheny and others. And like John Brown they all attempted to threaten or discredit me in one way or another.

But none of them ever provided any documentation.

If you read the posts I write about incumbents and candidates alike you will see I include the documentation.

Now here's an interesting aside for you. The much more affluent community of Gibsonville, North Carolina is being given police body cameras by the City of Greensboro. Body cameras, you, Dear Greensboro Taxpayers, paid for.

That's right, that's where your $350 Million Dollar Bond package is going, to keep the taxes lower in the more affluent communities surrounding Greensboro rather than taking care of needs right here where we live. How many other outlying communities are getting favors at your expense? These are the people we vote into office, who hide behind technicalities like, I don't own the company, my wife owns the company, when in fact the company does business with the City of Greensboro.

Are we gaining anything by replacing one group of cronies with another group of cronies?

Technically, we are not.

Standing On A Land Mine

Ever felt like you were standing on a land mine, afraid to move, knowing that moving will set off the mine causing it to explode but also knowing that if you stand still you will eventually fall off and get blown up anyway? Such is the case as what I'm about to tell you about Greensboro Mayoral Candidate Dianne Moffett.

Take a look at the information above as found on the Guilford County Property Summary on the screen shot above. It shows Diane Moffett as the owner of a home located at 103 Castleton Place in Jamestown, not Greensboro.

Of course it was bound to get out as Jean Blazingame of Conservatives 4 Guilford County lives next door at 101 Castleton Place in Jamestown. Jean recently wrote Who Is John Brown? an endorsement for Mr Brown than leaves out his many lies uncovered in my 5 part series, A Conversation With John Brown.

I truly did try talking to Reverend Moffett and her Campaign Manager Joy Cook about this in multiple e-mails beginning on July 25, 2017.

Neither Reverend Moffett or Ms Cook would talk about her living arrangements.

I thought of several reasons why Pastor Moffett might own a big expensive home in Jamestown while living in a rented condo on North Elm Street valued at only $60.000 by neither Reverend Moffett nor Ms Cook ever contacted me despite my multiple attempts to contact them, to explain it away.

Funny, when our conversation started Ms Cook seemed almost overjoyed to talk with me.

Of course, this isn't entirely new news. While I was waiting to hear back from Reverend Moffett, John Hammer of the Rhino Times published:

So that's how it is? Those with a little money to throw around can find someone who is popular, bring her to Greensboro the day before registration for office ends, sign her up, and pay the bills in the hopes that she becomes our next bought and paid for mayor?

Not that John Brown is any better, he only moved to Greensboro from Randolph County 2 years ago even though his campaign materials claim he has been here for 30 years.

I get it. I understand. You're desperate. You'll do anything to get rid of Nancy Barakat Vaughan even if it means stooping to never before seen lows. I hate her too. But are we gaining anything by replacing one group of cronies with another group of cronies?

You see, desperate voters are the easiest victims for corrupt politicians to take advantage of. And you, Dear Greensboro Voters, are being taken advantage of from every direction.

So What's Up With John Brown?

Everyone knows I am no fan of Nancy Vaughan. Can't stand her. That's why it troubles me to say that my communications with John Brown, candidate for Mayor of Greensboro, have gone very poorly. But rather than my usual I'm going to give John Brown the chance to come clean. Which, by the way, is probably more than I've offered anyone else after having caught them.

The following is from a Facebook post by Clark Porter. Let's watch and see what happens or if Mr Brown explains anywhere else. If not I damned sure will, documents, e-mails and all.

John 'Roy's Boy' Hammer; "Tanger Center To Move Dirt in April"

"The groundbreaking for the Steven B. Tanger Center for the Performing Arts would be Wednesday, April 26.

President of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro Walker Sanders said that he expected them to start moving dirt on April 27.

The same Walker Sanders who said Say Yes to Education 

would be sustainable, as he personally profited from the endowment, 

just like he is personally profiting from the performing arts center endowment

via fees paid to the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro

Sanders said that the project was about three months behind schedule and that the permitting process had taken longer than anticipated.

Walker Sanders is a leach upon our community

...Sanders said part of the delay was because the building was so complex that what seemed to be a relatively small change would cause a ripple effect resulting in far more changes than anticipated...

As Sanders personally profits from the money as it sits waiting 

The News & Record has run big stories about the delay in construction on the Tanger Center, implying that there were serious problems.  It appears the News & Record folks have been reading and believing some bloggers in town who push the theory that the entire Tanger Center project is some type of huge conspiracy...

That would be us

Even the announcement in the News & Record about the groundbreaking had a tone of disbelief and raised doubts about it being a real groundbreaking.

It is true that the Tanger Center project, which was conceived in 2012, has not kept to the original timetable.  But a lot of time was spent getting community input, and developing the financing strategy and governing model...

The Rhino's John Hammer is Roy Carroll's boy reporter toy,

who now tows his bosses line, in the name of selling the rest of his condos

across the street at Centerpointe

at the expense of Greensboro's taxpayers, enabled by Roy's bought and paid for politicos, 

namely Nancy Vaughan, Tony Wilkins and Justin Outling among others

Sanders said the donors didn't want to compromise on quality and the city didn't want to compromise on size.  He said, "We reached a compromise where the city has the size it needs to have and we have maintained the quality that we need to have."

Otherwise Kathy Manning and Randall Kaplan 

don't get to profit from their expected taxpayer subsidized new hotel

Sanders said, "It's been a healthy partnership.  But in any kind of partnership you're going to have disagreements."

Said the parasite personally responsible for bringing a Ponzi scheme to town, 

otherwise known as Say Yes to Education

Sanders said that in December the goal was to have the groundbreaking by May, and it's been moved up a month, which should be good news.

John Hammer is nothing more than Roy Carroll's propagandist,

the leftover remains of what may have been a real journalist a few decades ago 

...It is interesting that, depending on how you look at it, the project is either three months behind schedule or two years behind schedule.

John Hammer and the Rhino Times is Roy Carroll's media whore

When the whole idea for a downtown performing arts center was conceived in 2012, the talk had been of replacing the War Memorial Auditorium on the Greensboro Coliseum Complex despite the fact that two bond referendums to do that had failed.

Robbie Perkins who was mayor at the time, suggested that the business community would be willing to pay the difference in the cost of building the new performing arts center if it were downtown instead of on land the city already owned at the Coliseum.

Robbie Perkins is Roy Carroll's local real estate agent, 

who towed Roy's line and funneled Carroll taxpayer money

until it was Nancy Vaughan's turn, all from the Greensboro Country Club crowd

At the time, the off-the-cuff estimate of what was needed to be raised was about $10 million.  It turned out that a lot more than $10 million could be raised.  Through the Greensboro Community Foundation more than $38.5 million has been raised.  And because they are paying for half of the cost, those donors bought a seat at the table on planning the project.

With private meetings not under public records laws, 

just for Roy and friends to pilfer the public purse strings 

for the benefit of themselves and their real estate holdings downtown, 

with 'pledged' money that no one knows exists or not, 

just like the Say Yes to Education endowment 

One holdup early on was that there were not the votes on the City Council to pay for the performing arts center with tax dollars.  So the City Council came up with a plan to pay the city's share, $39.6 million, with hotel-motel tax revenue and parking and ticket fees.

Control fraud now justified by what used to be a fiscal conservative journalist, 

who now writes for the benefit of his benefactor who pays his salary 

to be a lobbyist for Carroll's corporate empire

So if it all works, the Tanger Center will be paid for with about half the money coming directly from donors and much of the rest coming from people who use the Tanger center in the form of parking fees and a ticket fee, with the remainder coming from people who visit the city, and none from city taxes.

Bullshit by a financial illiterate that is John Hammer, 

who never bothered to figure out the math behind the city parking fees

would never be able to fund the debt, but what does it matter, as long as he gets his from Roy

to pay his mortgage and keep his namesake paper alive 

Coming up with the whole funding mechanism meant creating a partnership with competing interests.

One of which is John Hammer's against his taxpaying readers

When the costs came in much higher than anticipated, the city wanted to reduce the quality of the building and the donors wanted keep the quality but reduce the seating capacity.  It took a while to work that out so that each side was satisfied.

Each side isn't satisfied John, just your boss

...The City Council should finally realize that if the city can't get its own projects approved in a timely manner, then the contractors and developers who have been complaining for years aren't crying wolf, but have legitimate issues.

Propaganda for Roy

The city employees who deal with permitting need an attitude adjustment and some simple changes could make a huge difference, but that is never going to happen unless the City Council gets involved and orders that changes be made.

A City Council bought and paid for by Roy Carroll,

which the News and Record is too cowardly to report, 

lest they open themselves up to scrutiny via Warren Buffet's ownership, 

who represents one of the biggest buyers of politicians in American history  

If the City Council doesn't step in and establish a policy on permitting, the next big project that comes along will be delayed for months, not to anyone's benefit but because the city has the power to do it.

I made a bunch of phone calls today trying to find out who the realtor is for Roy Carroll's Publix Greensboro incentive deal

I saw Robbie Perkins huddled with Marlene Sanford at the Council meeting Tuesday night, waiting for the vote to give Roy Carroll millions more on top of the $32 million he just got with the Tuggle Duggins's boys from the Triad Good Government PAC, which gave to 7 out of 9 City Council members last election cycle.

Yvonne Johnson didn't even know where the money came from.

I asked Robbie if he was going to be the real estate agent for the retail space the City/Roy was building into the deck taxpayers were paying for by the ballpark.

He said he didn't know anything etc...
