Burckley's loud, clear voice against progress

What a relief it is to read Bill Burckley's comments about how wrong it was for private interests to spend their own money and build a new baseball stadium in Greensboro ("Stadium dispute divided the city," April 2).

Burckley has become the Gate City's leading opponent of progressive movements.

It is a nasty job, Bill, but someone has to do it. Unfortunately, your irrelevancy on this issue may render your opinion on those to come impotent. Get over it!

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. How relevant are you, Dave? When you move back to Greensboro from Swannanoa, then maybe YOU'LL be relevant.
