A bird flying by tells me Nancy Vaughan, DGI's Zack Matheny and City staff threw Roy Carroll under the bus to enrich Randall Kaplan and Kathy Manning, Congressional Candidate,George House and Justin Outling and Greensboro's elite oligarchs

Sounds like Nancy Vaughan made the ultimate call, and Zack was in on it, with the help of past and current City staff.

Kathy Manning is going to have a boatload of leftover campaign cash to hand out, in exchange for her hubby Randall Kaplan's $32 million parking deck for his hotel which stands to profit from Kathy, George and CFGG's Walker Sander's play for the Steven Tanger Performing Arts Center residual leisure stay profits.

A full D City Council and Zack going for a clear win in the next election with Manning's money seems entirely plausible, now that Kathy's in with the national establishment.

Roy Carroll's Rhino endorsed those running for County Commissioner this year, after they voted for about $18 million in tax breaks to enable his $3 million water and sewer payday for the Publix distribution center.

The City is slow to produce the 1,700 plus emails related to former Greensboro mayor Robbie Perkins' involvement in the deck and Publix deals.

Who would have thought?

Can most let most of City Council and executive staff off the hook after Roy Carroll went after the competing deck with John Hammer and the Rhino Times, considering Roy's paper endorses candidates for local office while extorting votes for Carroll's real bottom line?

Maybe if our local sold out or negligent press would have taken the Rhino to task for influencing who wins and loses private profits from local taxpayer paid for deals originally conceived to enrich most of the big campaign supporters on both sides.

But they didn't.  Both the News and Record and the Rhino endorsed Skip Alston, which is a good indication of what underlies the decision making.

Skip, Nancy Vaughan and Sharon Hightower went to see the Publix distribution center Publix probably wants to downsize with more $400 million high tech, robotic enterprises as planned for Eastern Guilford County. 

Either way Roy Carroll walks with $3 million of water sewer good idea or bad with no skin in the game.

The whole gang gets away with Greensboro's taxpayers on the hook for the STPAC plus interest;

As of November 14, 2017, only $20 million of the private donations had been "raised"; If the City of Greensboro's bond council (Robinson Bradshaw) doesn't know how much Walker Sanders of the Community Foundation has actually brought in for the Steven Tanger Performing Arts Center, then who does?

Downtown Greensboro Parking Deck Math = City Council lied to our community and may have broken a few laws


http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2017/12/downtown-greensboro-parking-deck-math.html

For as many times as this information has been posted, 

has there been a single refutation?

Robbie Perkins declines to say whether he is involved with Roy Carroll's parking deck deal or the Publix incentives

When I spoke with Robbie Perkins this morning, he declined to disclose if he was involved with Roy Carroll's Publix warehouse taxpayer funded subsidization proposals.

Last night, the Rhino Times' John Hammer declined to inform me of Robbie Perkins' involvement at Greensboro City Council's speaker night, as well as the City's Jim Westmoreland, David Parrish and Tom Carruthers.

The News and Record's Margaret Moffett said "I don't have to answer to you".

Robbie Perkins is Roy Carroll's realtor for Center Point's commercial spaces.

Robbie got the City of Greensboro to pay for water and sewer for the old Jefferson Pilot property, which didn't sell, but then he used the access to land Bernard Robinson apparently, with the help of everyone else's money.

Perkins got water and sewer to a development project near a GTCC project, for his and Zack Matheny's benefit as I recall.

Robbie pitched Roy's 9,000 acre water, sewer and land prep scheme.

Roy got $2 million plus for water and sewer under I-40 for the Amex deal that never happened, as confirmed by John Hammer, who now has chosen to not say anything instead of revealing truth, which makes him a pawn, not a journalist, which makes the Rhino Times a propaganda and influence outlet just as Warren Buffett owns the News and Record, just as Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post etc...

Carroll just got $32 million for a parking deck.

Scott Yost will be covering Guilford County's public hearing on the Publix deal.

The News and Record is compromised.

The rest of our local news outlets are clueless.

The former mayor of Greensboro is using his influence with members of boards he and Roy control to profit form taxpayer ignorance to line their own pockets.

It's obscene

Alston Chronicles; "Sneaky Strategy Keeps District 8 Commissioners Seat Up In The Air"

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2017/04/alston-chronicles-sneaky-strategy-keeps.html  

I made a bunch of phone calls today trying to find out who the realtor is for Roy Carroll's Publix Greensboro incentive deal

I saw Robbie Perkins huddled with Marlene Sanford at the Council meeting Tuesday night, waiting for the vote to give Roy Carroll millions more on top of the $32 million he just got with the Tuggle Duggins's boys from the Triad Good Government PAC, which gave to 7 out of 9 City Council members last election cycle.

Yvonne Johnson didn't even know where the money came from.

I asked Robbie if he was going to be the real estate agent for the retail space the City/Roy was building into the deck taxpayers were paying for by the ballpark.

He said he didn't know anything etc...

It occurred to me this morning Robbie is not only Roy Carroll's leasing agent, he also serves Roy in other capacities

http://www.naipt.com/agents/robert-perkins

http://www.naipt.com/agents/robert-perkins

Roy came to council with a Publix incentive deal saying the company would invest $250 million and pay $50,000 per year for warehouse workers, which turned into $400 million invested and $42,000 average salary, above the City thresholds for handouts.

No one ever said who Roy Carroll's real estate agent on the deal was.

Kathi Dubel of the City of Greensboro told me today she didn't know who the real estate agent standing to make hundreds of thousands was, and didn't think it mattered at all.

I informed Mrs. Dubel it mattered if Robbie Perkins, Greensboro's former mayor, stood to gain from a vote of millions of which knowledge of his participation was excluded from public view.

Didn't get a call back from David Parrish, Tom Carruthers etc... on the subject.

Robbie has a history of skimming off taxpayers;

12/31/13; Robbie Perkin's 9,000 acres, Project Haystack, "Incentives" and the Rhino Times

Remember when then Greensboro mayor Robbie Perkins negotiated a $19 million deal with the county to bring water and sewer lines to eastern Guilford County and open up 9,000 acres to development?

Think Roy's Rhino will investigate?

I predict the Rhino will under-report incentive deals related to Roy Carroll's friends or Roy, and continue to scrutinize deals that would compete with Roy or his friends.

10/12/13; On Robbie Perkins' dishonest campaign flier

...American Express purchased Roy Carroll's land for a data farm with few employees right after the company fired 1,500 plus across town. 

Who was the real estate broker for the transaction?

What other properties were shown by whom to American Express?

Then Robbie and Skip directed the Water/Sewer trust fund to provide AMEX with utilities, which cost millions, after which Roy Carroll ended up with water and sewer for his Birch Creek property.

Robbie Perkins led the effort to line his and his friends pockets with taxpayer money without creating more jobs.

Mike Barber personally profiting from Greensboro taxpayers with some help from Amanda Lehmert

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2017/03/mike-barber-personally-profiting-from.html

"Score a win for Greensboro blogger George Hartzman, whose Socratic tirades in front of city council can sometimes come across as hyperbolic. Hartzman vocally questioned whether Mayor Robbie Perkins should be voting on an economic incentives payout to a Park View Development, the business entity for Center Point — for which Perkins serves as a listing agent in his role as a commercial real estate broker... [for Roy Carroll]

Interim City Attorney Jamiah Waterman ruled that Perkins had no conflict of interest.

Three days later Waterman was eating his opinion: “Upon further review, it can reasonably be argued that Mayor Perkins was subjected to a potential financial detriment, e.g. the potential loss of his real estate listings with Park View Development LLC.

As Jim Melvin could cause 

a potential financial detriment to Mike Barber's First Tee of the Triad, 

e.g. the potential loss of Bryan Foundation financial support

 Mr. Barber needs to recuse himself from the Zack replacement vote.

As such, I am revising my prior opinion to reflect that Mayor Perkins appears to have an impermissible conflict of interest in this matter.
