Excellent review/endorsement of Zach Matheny!

He deserves to be on the City Council. His
experience, and most of all, his involvement in the
community gives him the strength to serve this
city.

Yes, Zack, does his homework. I've observed
him both in Zoning Commission and Bicentennial
Commission meetings. Where he is prepared to
participate, and bring to the table new ideas, and
focusing on the objectives.

District Three has, and will always be the affluent
community. As far as diversity? I doubt that. We
need a person with a true vision, not one that sees
things through a looking glass. Zack's knowledge
and experience gives him the opportunity to do more, not only for District Three, but for the whole
City of Greensboro.

He has a strong socio-economical-political base,
that has placed him in this arena of strong
"puppeteers." I hope that the strings are not too
tight on him. Because if it is, the whole community
will suffer because of that. Zack, shows that he
is his own person. And with that said, it doesn't
matter what district a concern citizen feels about
any candidate running for public office. Because,
those who take the oath of office, serves ALL the
people, and not just the privileged.

Keep up the good work, Zach! Greensboro needs
new ideas, new visions, new avenues to face the
future. Take US forward pass our 200th year,
and lay down the path for all generations to come.

Thank you for the opportunity, for allowing me
to bring this to the table.

Given the current dynamics of the city government, I think Joe Wilson is the better choice.

I don't believe Mr. Matheny is one of the agents for change that is greatly needed on the new City Council.

Joe Wilson is.

Zack Matheny isnt all what he appears. The guy will only give you the time of day if you have any influence/money.

A few years back, I wanted to rollover my small 401k into an IRA. I talked to him and he said he would help. I called back a few times and he never bothered returning my calls. I guess since it was only a few thousand dollars he couldnt be bothered. Imagine what he would be like if elected to the city council
