Ever heard of them? The Hope Valley Outreach Neighborhood Association isn't on the list of Unincorporated Non Profits in North Carolina nor are they listed by the North Carolina Secretary of State in any way, shape or form and yet this Dec 30, 2012 report on an incident in the Hope Valley Neighborhood in East Greensboro identifies Mary Oliver as the president of the Hope Valley Outreach neighborhood association.
That's interesting as Mary Oliver's son is believed to be Reverend Gayland Anthony Oliver who apparently disappeared with $41,000 in city funds slated for the Phillips Avenue Neighborhood Gardens project after previously being charged with insurance fraud and obtaining property by false pretense.
Ms Oliver is an old woman so I'm willing to give her the benifit of a doubt thinking perhaps her son, Gayland tricked her in these matters but then I hear she's been very active in getting votes for Mayor Robbie Perkins and that funding recently slated for the Hope Valley Outreach Neighborhood Association is already being planned to be used to pay for a beach trip for Ms Oliver and Hope Valley Outreach Neighborhood Association board members.
I can't help but wonder, is Robbie Perkins and the rest of the East Greensboro political establishment buying votes with trips to the beach, backroom land swaps, illegal real estate deals and neighborhood gardens where nary a seed is ever planted?
And isn't it amazing how all of this resulted from my trying to find out simple answers to a simple little question asked on June 8, 2013 upon which I still have gotten no response, no denial and no rebuttal from the City of Greensboro concerning corporations that are cheating the city out of tens if not hundreds of thousands of tax dollars per year?
How many more will be buried before this is over? The total I can't say but the autopost is already loaded with several more names, some you know and some you might not.
