Greensboro Council Members Threatened In Bessemer Shopping Center Deal

From JoeyG:

"Allen Johnson reported in his Sunday column (unposted) that Skip Alston threatened council members to get them to approve his sweetheart deal for the shopping center in east Greensboro.  They are representing that he is using his leadership in the Simkins PAC-- and its election year endorsements-- to threaten them.

The council members making these allegations merit no sympathy because they have brazenly sought and obtained the support of the PAC in the past.  And they dishonorably used the landfill issue to do so.  But still, the charges they have made against Alston-- and implicitly against the PAC itself-- are entirely credible."

The only thing that I find shocking is the sudden wave of truth from the News & Record... What in the hell has happened?

Oh, and it's still Hell Day!
