"a discussion of incentives that could have risen to as much as $2.5 billion if a special tax had been pursued and passed by the General Assembly. As it was, the state offered Boeing packages in excess of $600 million if it chose a site in Greensboro...

In a Nov. 22 email, Secretary of Commerce Sharon Decker says she had just talked by phone to David Powell, president of the Piedmont Triad Partnership, and Jim Melvin, head of the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation.

...While Decker doesn’t expand on what she means, it’s interesting to note that one of her first calls to Greensboro included Melvin. While the former mayor keeps a lower profile than he once did, he is still clearly considered by the powers-that-be in Raleigh as someone you want to get in the loop ASAP if there’s a big economic development deal to be done in the Greensboro area."

"The Greensboro City Council has unanimously approved a $200,000 [forgivable] loan and grant package to Oakley Capital LLC, an entity managed by growing executive recruiting firm Charles Aris Inc. for development of the firm's new headquarters at 301 Battleground Ave.

...Oakley Capital purchased the vacant one-story building on April 30 for $547,500, according to public records.

...Allen Oakley, vice president of operational effectiveness and practice leader at Charles Aris, said the firm's senior management team considered a number of different options and locations but eventually decided on being part of downtown’s growth initiative.

The City Council-approved funds include a $100,000 incentive grant, which will be provided over an eight-year period and be paid back by incremental taxes and is contingent upon a $3.9 million capital investment by Charles Aris and the addition of four positions by 2016.

The council also approved a $100,000 forgivable loan that will be made immediately available for on-site asbestos removal..." [forgivable loan means free money]

Dear Ed Cone and Friends: "Agnotology"

Culturally constructed ignorance,

purposefully created by special interest groups working hard to create confusion

and suppress the truth.

Agnotology

"...the study of culturally induced ignorance or doubt,
particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.

...the term also highlights the increasingly common condition
where more knowledge of a subject leaves one more uncertain than before.

“the study of culturally constructed ignorance.”

...Some of the root causes for culturally induced ignorance are media neglect,
corporate or governmental secrecy and suppression, document destruction,
and myriad forms of inherent or avoidable culturopolitical selectivity,
inattention, and forgetfulness.

Agnotology also focuses on how and why diverse forms of knowledge
do not "come to be," or are ignored or delayed.

...when society doesn’t know something,
it’s often because special interests work hard to create confusion.

...ignorance also comes from people literally suppressing truth—or drowning it out
—or trying to make it so confusing that people stop caring about what’s true and what’s not.”

Jim Melvin: "Cone and Alamance merger perfect match": How many jobs does Mr. Melvin want to cut?

"On Dec. 15, there was a very important marriage in our region.

Why is Jim Melvin for a healthcare merger

that could eliminate competition

and create a healthcare monopoly

that could raise prices at will?

This marriage put two great organizations together.

How many jobs will the merger eliminate?
