One reason why Greensboro and Guilford County's water rates have gone up so much

"The city has taken the burden off landlords for tenants’ unpaid water bills.

…the rest of the city’s water users will have to pick up the costs for unpaid bills…

It is debt that other water users would have to cover, according to a staff memo."

Guess how much of our local political campaigns are funded by 'landlords'

How much did the city spend to get the sewer line 

installed under I-40 for Roy Carroll's AMEX backup data center project?

"According to the Water Resources department, “The City is currently processing the final invoice on this project. 

The total project cost is $2,073,885.89.” 

Please let me know if you need any additional information. 

Sincerely,

Public Records Administrator

City of Greensboro"

Roy Carroll funded every winning City Council candidate in 2015

Congratulations Roy.

AMEX and Roy received a $2,073,885.89 incentive no one knew about.

Feel like Greensboro's taxpayers have been misled?

I think those who feel that way are correct.

The Greensboro-Randolph Macro-Micro Site

 

"The shortest horror story: The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door" - Frederic Brown

   
According to highly informed sources, the Guilford-Randolph mega site is really a micro site. How so?

Very few acres have actually been purchase. Any “total” acres referred to by proponents is based on “options” to purchase. Therefore, a handful of acres have been acquired and over 1000 acres have options to purchase, but can’t be purchased presently, as no funds exist to initiate a purchase.

Meaning, Greensboro is considering a $22 million water/sewer expenditure to a micro site. Nothing like a nice bridge-to-nowhere as a “shovel ready” project.

If one steps back, considers and ponders the situation for a moment one finds that a non-existent mega site, which is really an existing micro site, the mere existence thereof, supposedly attracts a non-existent auto assembly plant. Brothers Grimm would have been hard pressed to have written a better fairytale.

In order to reach new zeniths in nitwitery one needs to add an additional ingredient to the recipe: politicos through the mechanism of government are seriously considering expending $22 million of taxpayer money (that would be your money) to send a sewer line/water line to a non-existent mega site attracting a non-existent auto assembly plant.

What a brilliant, foolproof plan! These people should really be running our lives.
