The N&R reports Greensboro City Council member Dianne Bellamy-Small will run for mayor.
This is a surprise, not only because she’d “had not given any indication she was contemplating a bid for mayor,” but because she’d be opposing her buddy and fellow council member Robbie Perkins. One can also how imagine how Bellamy-Small would conduct a council meeting, considering the fact she apparently tossed her copy of Robert’s Rules of Order in the trash can a long time ago.
Remember just last week Bellamy-Small was involved in an interesting exchange with a citizen who dared question GTA costs. During another contentious discussion of council procedure, Bellamy-Small referred to someone — I couldn’t tell if it was Mayor Bill Knight or Interim City Attorney Tom Pollard —- as ‘Mr. Parliamentarian.’I don’t see where such a title exists, but even if it did, Bellamy-Small clearly was using it as a term of derision.
