I trust these greedy people just as far as I could throw them.

Paul said:

Just proves how stupid Councilwomen Goldie Wells and T. Dianne Bellamy-Small really are. Never for the good of everyone.

Mike,

Remember what I said to you the other day
in an email. Please see that the annual
salary that would have gone to the new
assistant city manager position be re-directed
to the police and fire departments. They need
this kind of money. Also, the Greensboro
Coliseum Security Officers need a raise. They
have been in the $7.00 to $8.00 per hour
range for over a decade now. This is really
sad and an eye sore for retaining good quality
securtiy personnel at the coliseum. To hell
with what other cities are doing, Greensboro
should stand out in every department and in
every way possible we should be more
aggressive and progressive with our city
services. Certainly with our public safety and
security folks. ! ! !
