So perhaps Greensboro City Attorney, S. Mujeeb Shah-Khan would like to
explain to us if the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market is in fact a part of
the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department? I've included some
photographs taken just hours ago to refresh his memory. By clicking on
them you can view them full size.
And perhaps David Craft of Craft Insurance Company would like to explain why he is soliciting business in a Greensboro City Park when soliciting is clearly prohibited by the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department and the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market. Even after Mr Craft, aka Collards, published the following statement just yesterday:
"He showed me his hotel proposal flyer and the copy of our solicitation policy he was given. I concurred that our policy does not allow solicitation in the market except in the designated location at the Yanceyville entrance. This policy is consistent with City policy.
The market is a busy place with many vendors trying to make a living. Several vendors were not happy with his intrusion into their selling time.
We have made the same request of others with petitions and political candidates in the past and will continue to do in the future.
We will continue to serve the public according to our stated mission.

Like I said, "Vegetables aren't supposed to plant themselves."
Selective enforcement always leads to these types of issues. It's time it came to an end.
