I could only stomach 20 minutes of this mess...
I am appalled, disturbed and disgusted at the leadership of our city. And while it seems fashionable lately by some to bash the ones on Council actually trying to better this city, it is Wells and Bellamy-Small that continually attempt to tear this city apart and divide this city as much as possible. 1979 was 30 years ago! My God....
I can't wait for this fall's elections.
*************************
And apparently some others aren't waiting either. Stand Up Greensboro, a new political action committee just formed, aims to stop the divisiveness.
Area bloggers today have been pounding the pavement, attempting to find out who Stand Up founder Andrew Murphy is.
See this excerpt from his site:
Stand Up Greensboro was established in response to the leadership vacuum in Greensboro. Many of Greensboro's elected officials have increasingly abandoned their responsibilities of setting policy and long-term goals, leaving our city without a clear voice or vision for the future. While council members engage in overheated rhetoric and rehash the same tired arguments over and over again, Greensboro languishes and further falls behind competing cities around the nation, threatening to derail our city's social and economic vibrancy.
...but then releases its first ad targeting at-large city councilman Mary Rakestraw:
This will keep us bloggers busy for a while.
E.C. :)

E.C. I am with you as usual. I took a dose of that Pepto-Pink-Stuff and listened the entire hour. I don't think we have seen the end of this by a long shot I am sorry to say. But electing a decent City Council would be nice. BB
Eric, I understand your disgust. I listened to over half of it and felt better about Zack, who really took a lot of abuse. I hardly know why anyone would want to serve on the council & be subjected to this nonsense. We need new black leaders in this town as well as some new white leaders who have a vision for the future, not grievances from 30 years ago. A & T had a progressive leader in Mr. Battle & look what he was up against. Losing people like Mr. Battle is bad for Greensboro. This nonsense needs to stop.
