Barber vs. Perkins?
This probably will come as a surprise to no one, but Robbie Perkins and Mike Barber seem not to like each other a lot.
Maybe it's not personal, but I still suspect they're not having drinks together after Greensboro City Council meetings.
It could be they're not bosom buddies because they're so much alike. Both are passionate idea guys who aren't shy about speaking their minds.
It also could be that they fundamentally disagree on the disposition of the city manager, Mitchell Johnson.
Barber seems to want Johnson gone.
Perkins still defends Johnson, as does a majority (six votes) of the council.
Longer term, I would not be surprised to see Barber and Perkins one day locking horns as mayoral candidates.
That could be dicey, Perkins jokes, given that his wife once appeared in a Barber campaign ad.

Obviously, some people don't mind burying their faces in the nether-regions of a local PAC ...
and some do.
