The last two slaps in the face to Greensboro citizens by the outgoing City Council were giving Mitch Johnson a raise and giving Linda Miles a deal for six months at $91.50 per hour as a consultant.
We hope the first two items on the new City Council's agenda are to rescind both of these actions.

Yes. But will they? We just have to wait and see. I have some faith in Mary Rakestraw, Trudy Wade and perhaps Sandra Anderson-Groat and good old 8 to 1, but where that next needed vote will come from is beyond me. Perkins and Matheny are tied at the hip to the developers group who have a deal with the PAC to keep the status quo. Meaning: to get Johnson, Bellamy Small and Wells votes for their dividing Greensboro up into a treeless landscape of apartments, townhouses and malls they have to go along with what the PAC group wants.

Brenda,
Your description of the state of city politics is simple but 100% accurate. Great post.
