News & Record: information source/motivational tool
I just filed my story on High Point City Council's annual retreat, so the brave among you will be able to read plenty more about it in Sunday's paper. Here are a couple of other quick thoughts.
The best way to cushion the blow of spending seven hours indoors on a sunny and warm (for February) day: leather chairs. City Councilors met inside the La-Z-Boy Lecture Hall at High Point University's Norton Hall, and the chairs were appropriately comfortable given the room's sponsor.
The News & Record came up during a discussion of how and when to borrow $73.65 million in bonds to pay for projects that voters approved in a November referendum. City Manager Strib Boynton held up a copy of a recent News & Record that had a story about bond projects approved by Greensboro's voters in 2000. He said he never wanted to see a headline about High Point's bond projects like this one.
High Point hopes to complete its bond projects in five to six years.
Update: Here's my story on the retreat.
