The Bobblehead Admits Failure

After all these many years, Jim Melvin admits his leadership has failed and Billy Jones has been right all along: 

 “We are becoming a poor community,” he said. “If we don’t get some higher-paying jobs here, we’re going to be in serious trouble.”

Later in the same article, like most fallen tyrants, the Bobblehead pleads for mercy,

 “Greensboro cannot do without Action Greensboro."

Seriously? Most of Greensboro has never believed we needed Action Greensboro in the first place and until Action Greensboro focuses its efforts on solving the problems of poverty (2nd hungriest MSA in the nation, over 21% poverty and highest unemployment in the state) instead of focosing on making Greensboro's rich elites even richer the Bobblehead is going to have a very hard sell in this city.
