Johnson should handle city business, not chief's
The northwest part of Greensboro is smothered under many tons of leaves sitting on the curb waiting for the city to pick them up. We were promised that if we put the leaves on the curb by Nov. 2, they would be picked up by Dec. 21.
The city manager, Mitchell Johnson, hasn't had time or is incapable of taking care of this mundane task. But he has had time to falsely accuse the chief of police of racism and lock him out of his office. He has even had time to hold city meetings to ask the public what they wanted in the next police chief.
What we want is a chief left alone to do his job and a city manager who will stay out of the chief's business.

So long as our Mayor acts like the cowardly lion there will be no changes in city politics.

Just another reason I'm glad to live in the county. I can either rake my leaves into nearby woods or burn them.

Oh brother! Another angry security guard response to the dismissal of a corrupt chief.

Corrupt you say? The FBI didn't find anything corrupt about David Wray. DD, you don't even know the man, yet you still insist that the man's a racist. But hey, in this country your guilty until proven innocent... right?

"But hey, in this country your guilty until proven innocent..."
Consider the source, Bishop.
Mitch Johnson's credibilty is flushed down the toilet forever, and Bledsoe has skewered the "Wray as Racist" campaign the N&R, the City Council, and the Simpkins PAC have worked so diligently to promote, but our little buddy still clings to the message.
He's done it before, he's sure to do it again.
No big surprise, is there?.
