Greensboro Mayor Robbie Perkins' Accomplishments

Mayor Robbie Perkins cites the following as his accomplishments after 2 years in office:


" The city hired a manager, worked out an agreement to move the Hayes Taylor YMCA to East Lee Street, hired a federal lobbyist who helped secure funding for the Honda Jet tarmac."

Seriously, most business owners would consider that to be about a day's work. I'm surprised he didn't try to claim GPAC as well.

Meanwhile, expect the Mayor to complain a lot at tonight's City Council meeting about what a long days it's been as he is appearing in court today facing charges of Contempt of Court for refusing to pay child support and alimony. If found guilty he could be impeached by City Council for having a current criminal record.

So how much does the Mayor really owe in child support and alimony? The News & Record cites a figure of over $12,000. The real figure: Over $170,000.

Now that's an accomplishment!
