Yo Greensboro

UPDATED based on Tony Wilkins' correction. He would know , he was there. Thanks Tony!

SERIOUS YO! POLL... The first of many so that we can get our voice back-

Voters didn't dream up four-year terms on their own... Nancy Vaughan's City Council put the question on the 2015 ballot. It passed, and her council has enjoyed double the job security and half the accountability ever since.

Eleven years later we now face a BILLION dollars in bond debt, with more on the way, a record property tax increase, an 11.4% water/sewer hike, a failing downtown, and a council gone tone deaf.

Four years is a long time to wait to hold somebody accountable.

Genuinely curious what people think... would you support a referendum to bring back two-year terms?

❤️ Yes

😡 No

😮 Unsure / Need more information

Please share this with other Greensboro residents and ask them to vote.

We have a few mechanisms available to us to make this happen if we get enough support.

DISTRICT TWO COMMUNITY MEETING

My councilwoman, Cecile Crawford... genuinely the best of the bunch, held a community meeting in District 2 last night.

Notably absent was ...the community.

In attendance were: the City Manager, the Assistant Chief of Police, multiple City Council members, assorted City staffers and contractors, two nonprofit leaders currently drawing city funding, and our fabulous, leaderful leader full of leadership herself, April Parker.

Attendance may have been light, but Mayor Abuzuaiter did not seem to mind, glowing next to the aluminum trays.

I hope they did give the food away to the community though.
