Full statement from TDBS
On Monday, a bunch of reporters (including me) cornered City Councilwoman Dianne Bellamy-Small after a meeting to ask her about Florence Gatten's call for resignation. Bellamy-Small read a statement, and she read fast. So I asked her for a printed copy.
She gave me one today, after the city council briefing session. Here it is:
"I have not to my knowledge in any way abused the position of my office on the City Council. I have never be the source of leaks or asked for personal favors.
"I have spent the past 3 years working to represent the citizens of my district and the City of Greensboro and I work very hard at it. To demonstrate my efforts, I have for each of you a copy of my annual reports for the past 3 years and a flyer (sic) for my second Community Preparedness Workshop which shows my commitment to service on the council.
"As for the call for my resignation, I was elected by the people of District 1. I will continue to serve with honor, dignity and integrity until the people not the press or a council member say otherwise.
"I will not entertain questions, my statement and handout should be sufficient. If you have other questions submit them in writing and if I chose to respond, I will.
Thank you."

I agree. This lady (Bellamy-Small) is a disgrace to our city. Way to go Gatten, you have my vote for Mayor.
