As you can probably imagine, here’s what jumped out at me when reading the N&R’s coverage of the mayoral debate between Greensboro City Council member Robbie Perkins and incumbent Mayor Bill Knight:
Asked about the funding to complete the downtown greenway, Knight said it would have to compete with other needs, such as filling police positions or funding libraries. Perkins said he would make the greenway a priority because it both gave Greensboro more recreation opportunities and helped developers, adding “we need to move it forward as soon as possible.”
Note one reader’s comment:That downtown greenway is the biggest load of hokum this city has seen in years. I thought I was leaning toward voting for Robbie but the more he talks………..
Long time until the election….
