"...The Greensboro City Council uses the Greensboro Partnership to launder money...
The council allocates $200,000 to the Partnership
to be used by the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance (GEDA),
but of that money $25,000 goes to Downtown Greensboro Inc. (DGI)...
Dan Lynch, president of the GEDA, told the council
...they were told to write a check for $25,000 to DGI
...but he did not know why.
...The council has been told repeatedly
that DGI gets the downtown Business Improvement District (BID) money,
which is revenue from an additional 9 cent property tax paid by downtown property owners,
and that it also receives two allocations – one of $90,000 and the other for $155,000 –
directly from the city.
What the council had not been told until Tuesday was that DGI
also receives a pass-through of $25,000 from the Partnership.
...One of the more interesting statistics listed
was that GEDA had recruited and retained 1,555 jobs in the past year.
Unfortunately that does not include the 1,500 jobs that were lost
when American Express decided to close its call center."

with a non-independent, non third party “hypothetical”
that will most likely cost Greensboro millions
in principal, interest, operating and maintenance costs?
