On Thursday, after learning of Zack Matheny's not so little Conflict Of Interest http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2013/05/zack-matheny-conflict-of-interest.html I e-mailed the City of Greensboro the following public information request. Little did I know City Staff as out to get Councilman Matheny by making matters look worse than they really are:
"Sent minutes ago:
"Please send me all communications between Councilman Zack Matheny and ALL members of the Board of Directors of Downtown Greensboro Incorporated and ALL persons employeed by Downtown Greensboro Incorporated for the last 90 days.
Please include all communications between Mr Matheny and all the directors of the DGI Foundation.
Please send me all communications between Councilman Zack Matheny and ALL members of the Board of Directors of Action Greensboro and ALL persons employed by Action Greensboro for the last 90 days.
Please send me all communications between Councilman Zack Matheny and ALL members of the selection committee to replace Ed Wolverton as President of DGI.
Please send me all communications between Councilman Zack Matheny and ALL members of the task force on which Councilman Zack Matheny, Councilwoman Nancy Vaughan, DGI Board members and others worked to resolve issues with DGI.

And any known e-mail address Mr Matheny uses for his business, White Oak Capital Inc.
Thank you

Of course, I already have everything I need to fry the small fry, Zack, but it's the bigger fish I'm after. Will Zack roll or take the fall alone?
The City's reply... so far:
"Hello Mr. Jones:
We will be happy to fulfill your request. However, because DGI is a separate entity from the City of Greensboro we don’t have all of the names and email addresses of the groups you reference. Can you please supply us with the names and email addresses for the following:
· DGI Board of Directors
· All DGI Employees
· DGI Foundation Directors
· Action Greensboro’s Board of Directors
· All Action Greensboro Employees
· Selection Committee (to replace Ed Wolverton)
· Members of Task Force (Resolve Issues with DGI)
Sincerely,
Public Information Desk
City of Greensboro
300 W. Washington Street
Greensboro, NC 27401
Phone: (336) 373-CITY (2489)
www.greensboro-nc.gov"
So I replied back first telling them I knew they were stalling then sent a second PIRT asking for the names of the persons appointed by Mayor Robbie Perkins to oversee the restructuring of DGI that included Zack Matheny and Nancy Vaughan. It's as if city staff themselves are trying to make Zack look bad.
The City replied back with the following names:
Zach Matheny
Nancy Vaughn
Denise Turner Roth
Dawn Chaney
Michael Schiftan
Sam Simpson
This morning I e-mailed the City another PIRT asking for the following:
"Thank you. Now please send me all communications between the following persons for the last 90 days.
Zach Matheny
Nancy Vaughn
Denise Turner Roth
Dawn Chaney
Michael Schiftan
Sam Simpson
Thank you again -Billy Jones"
It truly appears City Staff truly has it in for Zach Matheny. By dragging this out and making it harder for me to get information they only build the public's disdain and distrust of the city councilman. Did you notice they told me they didn't know who was on the committee to replace Ed Wolverton in one reply then provided me with the names of the committee in the next reply?
Who did Zack piss off at City hall? Perhaps that should be a public information request as well.
Zack, if I were you I'd be knocking down doors at the homes of city staff and clearing this matter up once and for all before the shit hits the fan big time. See, Zack, Greensboro City Attorney Mujeeb Shah-Khan and several other folks I know are all privy to the information I'm still keeping under wraps while we wait for Zack to spill the beans on those responsible but if Zack thinks I won't make sure he ends up loosing everything he owns and everything he ever hopes to own to make him talk... Then Zack is a dumber blowhard than even I thought he was.
Don't forget the autopost... You were warned to "get ahead of it" but you didn't listen. Now you're screwed. Can you really believe this clown was voted one of Greensboro's best leaders under 40 a few years back? If this is the best we can do Greensboro is hopeless.
PS. I always make the info I get available to the world. After all, it is public.
