"Fraud is a broad term that refers to a variety of offenses involving dishonesty or "fraudulent acts". In essence, fraud is the intentional deception of a person or entity by another made for monetary or personal gain.
Total Operating Expenses alone = about 94% of the proposed costs
allocated for Administration, Maintenance and Operations
in DGIs revised proposal
Fraud offenses always include some sort of false statement, misrepresentation, or deceitful conduct. The main purpose of fraud is to gain something of value (usually money or property) by misleading or deceiving someone into thinking something which the fraud perpetrator knows to be false."

The City of Greensboro appears to be acting out a fraud meant to deceive taxpayers, if DGI is supposed to exist on $120,000 and pay rent plus salaries equaling $549,948 last year
If there were no speakers on the issue, the item would have passed.
