What happened?

Greensboro City Council was expected to discuss ways Tuesday night to make public an SBI report on defunct nonprofit home builder Project Homestead.

Why didn't they? They simply ran out of time. Last night's meeting ran long - including a couple of hours spent on a public hearing on potential bond projects.

Council didn't finish their regular agenda until just after 11 p.m., and their policies state that if the regular meeting concludes after that time, a second round of speakers from the floor and comments from council - where Tom Phillips was planning to discuss getting the Homestead report - are cancelled.

Phillips said this morning that he's a strong supporter of that policy, so he wasn't going to try to violate it.

Phillips said he'll try to discuss the issue during the council's monthly briefing session next Tuesday, if there's time. Otherwise, he'll raise it at the next council meeting April 4.
