The N&R weighs in on more talk about privatizing the Greensboro Coliseum. Personally, I’ll believe it when I see it; there’s a reason —-which we probably can’t begin to comprehend —– why Matt Brown is the city’s highest-paid employee.
As for City Council member Robbie Perkins’ idea to create a coliseum authority, remember that an ‘authority’ is his answer to everything. Perkins’ idea during the White Street landfill controversy was to form a solid waste authority so the region could pool its trash disposal.
That idea was shot down by then-council member Mike Barber, who argued other Triad cities wouldn’t go for it because — what a concept—they added capacity to their landfills.
