Yvonne Johnson meets city's leadership needs
As we celebrate Greensboro's Bicentennial, it is appropriate for us to recognize our new mayor, Yvonne Johnson. Mayor Johnson is the right person for the job. She comes to the office with vast experience in government and a fresh, new vision for this city. She has a multitude of ideas and proposals to help improve the city's image. The economy, reduced street crime and youth gang involvement, jobs, public confidence in city government are all areas where improvement is sorely needed.
As we celebrate the birth of this great city, it is also time to recognize a first in the city's history. For the first time, Greensboro has a black mayor, as well as a female mayor, all in one. This is significant in that it shows that Greensboro is destined for a new day, new leadership, new ideas and a new direction for the future.
Mayor Johnson served this city with distinction as a member of the City Council. It is hoped that she will continue that outstanding service in her new position as mayor.
Congratulations, Mayor Yvonne Johnson. Happy Birthday, Greensboro.

If Mayor Johnson really is the leader the LTE writer makes her out to be then I can't wait to see how she deals with Greensboro's biggest lie: http://damscam.blogspot.com/
