Greensboro City Council names Terry Wood interim city attorney while the council searches for a permanent replacement for Mujeeb Shah-Khan, resigned last week over the unsigned civil rights museum contract.
Wood has a long history with Gboro, working in the legal department for 24 years and served as city attorney after being lured out of retirement when the city couldn’t find a suitable replacement for Linda Miles.
I also seem to remember— correct me if I’m wrong— Wood being pressed into service in some legal capacity following the resignation of J. Rita Danish. Remember her?
Update: Looks like it’s move on, nothing to see here over at the N&R.
Again —Shah-Khan was aware of the risk of proceeding with the museum loan without a signed contract. Certainly he didn’t think his job would be one of them, but if he did he evidently thought it he could get away with it. Why he –and former City Manager Denise Turner Roth, for that matter —consciously took such a risk is the lingering question.
