Greensboro City Council member Zack Matheny has recused himself from further debate over the possible reopening of the White Street landfill.

Both Matheny and fellow council member Robbie Perkins were awaiting a legal decision by city attorney Rita Danish as to whether or not they had conflicts of interest due to company business dealing with one of the potential contractors that would run the landfill. Matheny did not wait for Danish’s decision and notified her by letter yesterday.

I’d be surprised if Perkins recused himself; given the bizarre legal rulings Danish has made in Perkins’ favor, expect him to be voting.
