*My Memorial Day reading;
*Everyone in Winston-Salem is excited about the youth expression wall in Winston Square Park —-except nearby residents;
*Did High Point City Manager Strib Boynton strong arm the City Council by threatening to resign if they met with Deputy Fire Chief Martha Younts regarding her sex discrimination claims?
*Rep. Virginia Foxx sponsors legislation that would prevent medical schools from using federal funds to teach abortion procedures;
*Evidently it wasn’t da bear strolling through downtown Greensboro yesterday, but
one of his buddies;
*The N&R notes the irony behind the standoff between Guilford County commissioners and Sheriff BJ Barnes over additional officers for the new $100 million jail, reassuring themselves that “surely Guilford County isn’t that upside down”;
*Waste Industries —one of the finalists for the White Street landfill contract —places a full-page ad in today’s N&R, while opponents pass the hat. Only problem is where to place the counter ad —in the “communist rag” N&R or the Rhino, which “has printed so many lies?”
