We got Jim Kee claiming at the last City Council meeting his business is doing better than ever, saying listen to me I know what I'm talking about-- I don't think so. I've heard that kind of talk before... The same Council meeting where he tried to push a vote on the Bessemer Shopping Center before 100 people could be allowed to speak. He's still running his real estate development business out of his home. And his home is under water. Yeah, Jim's really doing great.
Zack Matheny is bleeding money. He started a commercial real estate consulting business in the middle of a commercial real estate crash thinking he was going to make money. Last year he went head over heels in debt for a home in New Irving Park. Now the people he consults with are recommending Zack lay off family members.
Mayor Perkins is bankrupt. He owes $186,000 in back taxes and more in child support and alimony than a lot of Greensboro folks make in a year. His Irving Park home has been foreclosed upon. We all read it in the newspaper.
These guys are prime targets for bribes and corruption. They're desperate. It's bound to happen.
