News & Record Letter to the Editor; "Voters need to see council connections", Monday, July 15, 2013, with some background links

"In the lead-up to Greensboro City Council election season, I believe it would be helpful for most voters to know which current members placed which taxpayer-funded “economic development” projects on council meeting agendas for whom.

Considering the correlations between some recent airport-area zoning changes for a few connected campaign contributors of certain council members, I believe the public should be more aware of how “business” is “consummated” with local taxpayer money.

For all the “forgivable” loans and potential commissions for a former county commissioner with political pull and proposed speculative money for clothing stores and sitcoms, Greensboro’s voters should at least be apprised of how who got what because of whom before the City Council votes on meeting agenda items.

Wouldn’t it be something of a disappointment if the election were held without any actual transparency as to who has proposed/advocated what under the electorate’s radar?"
