From John Hammer at the Rhino Times:
Never mind all of John's over the top anti-liberal BS, pay attention to the facts:
"The current plan being promoted to pay for the performing arts center, in part with increased parking revenue, would kill much of the current nightlife downtown because people would have to pay up to $10 for parking in the parking decks at night."
How's that going to work for Downtown restaurant owners? Do all your customers park on the streets? Will they all park on the streets when 3000 cars show up at one time for an event at the proposed downtown performing arts center? How many Greensboro residents will refuse to add $10 to the cost of their meals when parking is free everywhere but Downtown?
Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps GPAC is just one part of a bigger land grab designed to take over all of Downtown Greensboro? This is corruption at the highest levels of city government. Accuse me of tin foil hats if you like but remember I'm the one who broke the Mayor's financial woes to the News & Record a few months ago. I'm the one who broke the Betty Cone tax evasion story. I'm the one who exposed the Greensboro Partnership. I'm the one who exposed Walker Sanders. I'm the one who made public the hidden Action Greensboro study.
With help, of course. No one does all these things alone.
On another note: are you aware that 4/5s of Mayor Perkin's income comes from commissions paid on transactions he does for none other than Roy Carroll? Think about it.
You can follow the Mayor to Hell if you want to but if you're ready for a plan that can really work... Well it's as easy as clicking on a hyperlink. Or I'll just go write another book about the rest of you.
