Pave-it Perkins Gets Paved

The image “http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:InYdqMNefXKA8M:http://admin.businessleader.com/images//Impact%2520Leaders//robbie%2520perkin%2520small.JPG” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. My friend Keith Brown has a good analysis of this week's bombshell YES! Weekly article explaining the lawsuit filed by a former partner of Greensboro City Councilman Robbie "Pave-it" Perkins.

YES! Weekly reports local real estate mogul Richard Maxwell is suing Perkins for "breach of contract and unfair trade practices. The lawsuit contends that the former partners are embroiled in a “controversy” over a 2005 land deal in Davidson County to build a shopping center that remains saddled with more than a dozen vacant storefronts."

Not exactly what Davidson County needs with its record unemployment rate.

Neither litigant is speaking nor commenting on the record, no surprise. But it is another shining example of the secrecy among our local electorate that really must stop.

And to think Bellamy-Small doesn't want ethics?

These blogs write themselves, folks.

E.C. :)
