Still no mention from Greensboro's News and Record
noting Marty Kotis, Roy Carroll and the Koury clan's contributions
to both liberal City Council members and the bigots who voted for HB2;
Monday, February 15, 2016; Marty Kotis paying off Yvonne Johnson before she voted to give a $3 million building to Marty for $900,000

Jamal, Hoffmann, Vaughan, Barber, Outling, Hightower, Johnson and Abuzuaiter
took money from bigots who funded those who passed a bigoted hate law
and will probably keep taking their money to retain power
even though they will know it comes from patrons who are sipping the hatorade

What does that make them?
What does it make the News and Record

Cowards in my view
