"How absurd is it for us to reach into the pockets of the poor, the elderly, the hungry…and transfer it to the elite? Robin Hood in reverse. Which is exactly what we would be doing if we use property tax dollars to fund construction overruns and operating deficits. And they would be open ended, as we have no clue what those figures might be."
It's us or them, Mayor Vaughan: Who will you side with?
"Two million of us are classified by the federal government as hungry – over 20 percent, the nation’s fifth-highest rate. Nearly 622,000 of our kids don’t get enough to eat. Greensboro is the country’s second-hungriest city..."
That's country as in nation, not county. Want to see riots on the streets of Greensboro? Real riots, not just a few teenage boys getting into fights? East Greensboro has reached it's boiling point as has much of the rest of the city, build the GPAC and they will come. Will I be rioting? No, but I'll help with collecting bail for the rioters so they can more quickly get back into the fray. See how easy it is.
