The Rhino’s John Hammer shows us where progressives have gotten Greensboro:

While other cities around us were improving infrastructure and recruiting new industry in a time of economic boom, the Greensboro City Council was holding press conferences to say that the embattled city manager was not dishonest, or agreeing to subject themselves to lie detector tests to discover who had leaked a secret report the city manager had done about the Police Department.

And who knows how much the city spent defending the resultant lawsuits. To be fair, I think progressivism in just the norm in municipal government, which explains the groupthink where every city has to have a new downtown performing arts center. As for GPAC, which is close to a contract with the city, Hammer says when designing it, look at Gboro’s ugly ass city hall and don’t do that. Or the Aquatic Center.
