Deena Hayes-Greene in today's News and Record; "Civil rights museum: Debt reports are misleading"

"Where, in fact, were the questions at all?"

Do you mean the recent questions Museum staff and the board refused to answer, as documented by the News and Record?
.
.
By retaining fiduciary control,
the City of Greensboro determined that Skip and Earl
could profit from the facility in the future via a taxpayer funded bailout.

"Where, in fact, were the questions at all?"

How many of the following questions have been answered?;

Civil Rights Museum Bailout questions...

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2013/09/civil-rights-museum-bailout-questions.html
.
.
"some among us have felt licensed to be ignorant of the facts"

How can some be ignorant of the facts, if the Museum doesn't disclose them?.
.
.
"As chairwoman of the museum’s board, I ask that the facts regarding its finances be examined"

How can the facts be examined, if the Museum won't tell anyone what the facts are?
.
.
"The mayor and city manager have been presented with information that showed there would be no tax credit shortfall."

Please provide the information on the tax credit non-shortfall to the public, that was provided to the Mayor and Westmoreland.
.
.
Is Doug Harris still listed as one of the building's owners?
.
.
"the founders respectfully have taken a back seat."

Mr. Jones' latest public comments, and the vote to fire Lacy Ward very imply otherwise.

This statement is not a fact, but an opinion.

Have Jones, Alston and Harris removed thier names from the ownership of the building?
.
.
"There is, however, more to the story than has been told."

How can there be more to the story, if all the "facts" have been laid on the table?
.
.
"no one wanted Lacy Ward to succeed more than I"

Unconfirmable opinion, not fact.
.
.
"Wanting his success as badly as I did, why would I be a part of Ward’s termination unless what he had done was sufficient to warrant this action?"

What's the answer to your question, Deena?
.
.
"The energy invested to wrest the story told at the museum from the hands of those who experienced and continue to experience it"

Skip Alston appears to be a very wealthy individual, who about owned East Greensboro for a couple of decades and still does to a large degree.
