The Greensboro City Council officially backs Lindbrook’s downtown development; they’ll officially vote on it at next Tuesday’s meeting.
The video wasn’t up on the city’s Web site, so I went over to Guarino’s and watched classic video of a 2006 meeting where Greensboro Partnership Pat Danahy is speaking before the council, addressing the GPD controversy that’s been going on for three years now, with no end in sight.
It struck me that the gesture on the part of Danahy (and the suits standing next to him) was so unnecessary, considering the fact that –as Guarino points out —– it was made without “getting as many of the facts as they could.”
In response, the City Council promised to “get to the bottom of this matter” and “leave no stone unturned.” Council member (and current Mayor) Yvonne Johnson praised City Manager Mitchell Johnson for not “sweeping this under the rug,” while fellow council member Tom Phillips —incredibly– warned against “conducting an investigation in the media,” never mind the fact that David Wray’s trial via the sympatico mainstream media had already started.
It’s a quick nine-minute video, worth the watch, a simple reminder of the mentality of our city’s leadership.
