Rhino Times; "[Guilford County's] budget is expected to give 40,000 to Downtown Greensboro Inc."

After all the crookedness of what has occurred regarding DGI, by providing money to Zack Matheny and friends, Guilford County's commissioners will own whatever DGI does downtown.

The taxpayer funded handouts to DGI board members and friends who funded political campaigns.

The next time Zack gets in trouble for whatever.

etc...

These folks know DGI is crooked, they know there is pay to play and cronyism, and they intend to fund the organization anyway.

Well OK, but now it's an overt act to prop up an organized pilfering club, and whatever happens with DGI and Zack Matheny etc... is on Jeff Phillips, Ray Trapp, Alan Branson, Kay Cashion, Carolyn Coleman, Justin Conrad, Carlvena Foster, Hank Henning and Alan Perdue's heads.

If you are signing up for the ride, be aware of what the risks are, as you will be responsible for funding an irresponsible organization of self dealing business and property owners who have a consistent history of skimming taxpayer money flows.

Enjoy.

Is Blue Cross and Shield of NC going to ask for their $5,100 back from HB2 enabler/bigot Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger?

"...the new law also introduces restrictions on the minimum wage in North Carolina and legal actions available to people who believe they’ve been discriminated at work.

Nationally, women, black people and other racial minorities disproportionately hold minimum-wage jobs...

HB2 limits the rights of North Carolinians to file workplace discrimination complaints under state law. For the past 30 years, a North Carolina law has allowed workers to sue their employers over “wrongful discharge in violation of public policy.” It appears HB2 eliminates that.

The rights of workers are still protected under federal law. But critics say the federal process takes longer and is more expensive and more restrictive on damages an employee may recover. The federal law also has a shorter filing window.

...the broader implications of the bill on women, racial minorities and people with disabilities wasn’t clear during last week’s special legislative session."

Milton Kern's Latest Scam

Recently articles started appearing in some of our local main stream media publications about downtown developer Milton Kern wanting to convert the old Guilford County Jail to a homeless shelter. As always, when Milton Kern's name is involved with taxpayer funded projects people can't help but be alarmed.

But alas, as is usually the case we are never told the whole story in these accounts. A recent Facebook conversation with Guilford County Commissioner Alan Branson reveled that the Guilford County Sheriff's Department still uses the old jail building 7 days a week so currently selling "the old jail" which is still being used as a jail 5 days a week as a means to move prisoners to trial via way of the tunnel under Eugene Street which connects the jail to the Guilford County Courthouse is not an option the County is currently able to consider: https://www.facebook.com/ecpaintinganddrywall/posts/1019587884780250?pnref=story

 And this:

As always, my thanks to Commissioner Alan Branson for clearing this up and doing what neither the City of Greensboro nor our local main stream media outlets have chosen to do. Please, while wanting to help the homeless is a good idea always be wary of any man who previously tried to swindle the taxpayers out of $1.9 Million Dollars and spread the truth to all concerned.
