The N&R says the Greensboro City Council should continue to pursue the White Street landfill issue:
The city could be seen as breaking its word to northeast Greensboro by revisiting the landfill discussion. But which option serves the greater good?
And in attempts to bury this issue in hopes that it will go away, the council only keeps it alive.
It will continue to resurface until it is discussed honestly and completely on the basis of the facts and hard numbers, not myths and misperceptions.
Put all of the facts on the table, and revisit all of the options. Ask everything that needs asking, while there is time, especially the hardest questions.
Agreed. But the N&R says the council keeps the issue alive, when in fact it’s one council member, Mike Barber, who keeps the issue alive. When he’s gone — Barber says he’s not running for anything in the upcoming election —- who’s going to raise the issue? Perhpas Bill Knight —- should he defeat incumbent Yvonne Johnson in the mayor’s race.
