"The situation just got worse for the city."
The young journalist, herself a sweet and lovely person, is referring to the fact that today it was made public by Councilman Tony Wilkins that the loan contracts for the latest $750,000 loan to the Greensboro International Civil Rights Center and Museum were never signed and that several on City Council are rightly demanding that the City of Greensboro be returned it's $750,000.
Of course, young Morgan, indoctrinated into the ways of the News & Record and Greensboro doesn't understand. My reply:
"Morgan, this is actually good for the city. Finally, accountability is being forced upon those who lead and those who benefit most from these cozy arrangements with city leaders."
Revelations like this showing the corruption that runs rampant but has long been kept covered by city officials and Morgan's employer are the only way things will change for the better. Someone was planning on never returning this $750,000 loan and someone from the city of Greensboro worked to make sure it could happen.
"Same as it ever was, same as it ever was..."
But don't worry about Morgan, she's still young enough to save. Unlike Editorial Page Editor, Allen Johnson, Morgan's indoctrination won't be made permanent for several more years. And if we managed to save former News & Record assistant editor, Lex Alexander I know we can save young Morgan.
