Kieth Brown; "Lawyer Tom Terrell delays Friendly Hobbs For Other Reason?"

"Looking at the Triad Business Journal today 1-8-2015, [developer] Halpern has asked for a 60 day continuance to a major rezoning case off of Hobbs Road and Friendly Ave.  In reality [Terrell and Halpern are] asking for a delay until Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition "TREBIC CARTEL" cronies at the North Carolina State level will try to eliminate Protest Petition and screw established neighborhoods in Greensboro and other places...

Tom Terrell is a lawyer for the developers and a hypocrite is because when it is beneficial to his clients he will use a protest petition but when he needs the votes on council he wants to completely do away with this N.C. State Law...

...he is delaying the votes he does not have to see if the State will do away with Protest Petitions and only needs five votes to pass the Greensboro City Council instead of 7 with Protest Petition.

...with this Friendly and Hobbs rezoning both TREBIC CARTEL Tom Terrell and King Zoning Stud Henry Isaacson have tried to rezone this property to no avail...

...it will be delayed till they can get the law abolished on state level.

...We also have local Village Idiot John Hammer from Rhino Times chiming in on this rezoning case stating "Before Trader Joe’s pulled out, the smart money said that the rezoning request would have definitely passed the City Council.  There was some question as to whether it would have passed with the seven votes to overcome the protest petition, but those who count votes said a solid seven were there." And "There are a couple of considerations for those who oppose the rezoning...  One is that the protest petition is going away.  The state legislature intended to do away with it last year and it will certainly meet its demise in 2015.  So the neighborhood has more clout now than it will if this is defeated and comes back up next year when, without a protest petition, the rezoning request will need only a simple majority to pass.  And it looks like, with a seven-member council also on the horizon, that could be four votes."...
