Release all information; let chips fall as they may

Why won't the police and city government release all of the transcripts relative to the David Wray case? It is obvious they are keeping information from the public when the public has the right to know. In other words, they are protecting their rear ends and snubbing the public's rights.

Their actions say that the public is weak and ignorant and doesn't need to know the facts. Democracy fails when you tolerate public officials with such a warped sense of superiority.

It is very clear what these officials are trying to do. For some time now, Greensboro city government has been trying its best to put a good image on a sorry situation. Witness the newspaper articles and TV appearances by our mayor and city manager. Neither was credible or believable. The public is not stupid.

Let it all come out and let the chips fall wherever they may. Release all transcripts. Quit trying to cover up for certain groups and individuals as you have obviously been doing.

Let the sun shine in and it will all clear up quickly.

Ain't that the truth? City council person Goldie Wells, brave in a closed meeting, said that just like children in sex ed classes, the public can't handle everything there is to know.

If City Government releases all of the information on the Chief Wray mess it will make them look like fools. The made outrageous claims early on in this mess and they have no evidence to back it up.
They can't handle letting us know the truth.

I'm inclined to agree that the council is hiding a whole lot of nothing. But yes, release the documents . . . like you promised you would.

And as of 4:15 Tuesday 10/2/2007 City Manager Mitch Johnson is going to ask City Council to release more documents; http://www.news-record.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071002/NRSTAFF/71002011

Maybe dear ole Mitch read this LTTE and was convicted in his heart!

Documents should now lay to rest any thoughts that David Wray was competent. Guess this shoots a hole in the Rhino garbage.
