“Vaughan disagreed with Leone’s characterization, saying she has pushed for more transparent economic disclosures for council, while adding that people can make their own conclusions about her broad cross-section of contributors.”
My reply:
"Seriously?
Jamal Fox failed to disclose he owns a house.
Nancy Hoffmann fails to disclose she still works for Reffett Associates and has various partnerships with downtown developers.
Yvonne Johnson fails to disclose her non profit One Step Further is funded by the City of Greensboro.
Mike Barber fails to disclose in kind contributions by the City to his non profit, First Tee of the Triad and has refused to release his Federal Form 990s for 2 years.
Mayor Vaughan failed to disclose her and Donald Vaughan’s vast holdings in Carolina Bank which holds over $700,000 in debt for the ICRCM and also failed to disclose it to the board of the ICRCM.
And Triad City Beat reported none of it despite the fact that I documented all of this over a year ago. Where were you, Eric?"
Like the rest of our main stream media, Triad City Beat has spent the last 2 or so years ignoring the real issues only to cry wolf at the last minute.
