Not at all hyperbole
City Council members dropped a pretty big hint on the Commission on the Status of Women last month: Do something substantial, or the commission's days are numbered.
In an e-mail to council members, Commissioner Shirley Ballard Foster predicts dire consequences should this occur:
"While we do have in place many female organizations, some of which were organized by CSW, we will be fragmented if we choose to eliminate the Comimssion on the Status of Women.
"This will be the beginning of the regression of women in Greensboro."
Oh, there's this her next sentence: "I am aware that six women make up City Council and bravo for us."
