"There once was a Greensboro newspaper called the Rhinoceros Times, a pugnacious little weekly that grew from a barroom newsletter to something that, for a time, wielded real influence.
...That paper went out of business, but a beast by the same name was jolted to life by Greensboro developer Roy Carroll, a modern day Dr. Frankenstein...
...there are certainly some questions that need to be answered there ...about a plan hatched by the newspaper and its millionaire owner...
The plan involves cutting the nine-member city council down to seven by eliminating two at-large posts, doubling the two-year terms and cutting new districts that no doubt will favor those with political leanings sympathetic to the Rhino.
It was first floated in the Rhino on Nov. 13 with a similarly misleading headline: “Council may see big changes” — insinuating that this change is surely going to come. It was then repeated by Carroll at a Greensboro Merchant’s Association meeting...
...People are talking about it — but what they’re saying is, “What do these guys take us for?”
