City of GreensboroCity Council Candidate Information Request III


How can Greensboro’s City Council justify the continued employment of a lobbyist who represents a monopolistic cable interest, that just tried to raise internet rates, that represents the City of Greensboro at the same time?


 


What were the lobbyist’s coincident positions on raising internet rates while working for the city and the cable interest simultaneously?


 


Greensboro Mayor Yvonne Johnson probed city staff on May 19


about an allegation that the city’s lobbyist


…also represents the cable industry


 


…the NC Lobbying Compliance Division


lists [the City of Greensboro’s Lobbyist] as an active lobbyist


for both the NC Association of Broadcasters


and the NC Cable Telecommunications Association


 


Greensboro lobbyist also represents cable industry
