Indeed, PART executive director Brent McKinney ‘isn’t sugarcoating’ the agency’s financial future. But to say that PART is on ‘sound financial footing is a bit of an overstatement.
A commenter notes that the High Point Enterprise article doesn’t say what PART’s income was last year while expenditures were $14.5 million. But with a fund balance of between $5-$6 million, the math isn’t that difficult.
Greensboro City Council member and PART board member Robbie Perkins says a tax increase in a down economy is a tough bid, so PART “needs to be a real strategy to sell this.”
Be ware.
