On Tuesday night, (October 21, 2008) council members also agreed to delay selling city bonds on the fall ballot if they are approved by voters.
“We will be responsible enough not to do anything with the bonds until the economy is right,” Mayor Johnson said.
Has unemployment stopped rising?
Are school class sizes falling?
Are mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures declining?
Are tax revenues increasing?
Did the state stop confiscating Greensboro’s Beer and Wine tax revenues?
Have 2009-2010 NC state budget cuts even begun to affect Greensboro yet?
Will voting to borrow $153,500,000 on top of a $21,000,000 revenue bond or an upcoming $11,360,000 “Two Thirds Bond” be breaking promises made by City Council before November 2009’s election?
What does “responsible” mean?
My kids are packed in classrooms with fewer teachers and we are going to borrow money from them to build a swimming pool?
How can our community explain borrowing money for what some want at the expense of what our children need?
When our kids grow up, they are going to have to pay our bills.
We are betraying our children.
