Bond-tacular
The 2008 Greensboro bond supporters have rolled out their advertising campaign.
So has the city (although technically speaking, they can't "promote" the bonds.)
But Scoop has heard only crickets from voters.
What are folks thinking? Is $50 million worth it for a new auditorium? Is a road bond the only way to pave roads and build greenways? How about $20 million for Parks and Recreation, which will partially pay for a $12 million pool complex?
How about the economics of it? If all the bonds pass, it would take an extra 2.5 cents on the property tax rate to fund all those projects. Will the current financial uncertainty play a role in the way you vote on election day?

Unless the markets turn around in the next few weeks, I suspect that the Voters will turn out in droves to STOP anything that even comes close to a tax increase.
