Mayor Happy is resigning, retiring and maybe even with a lot of luck simply Going Far Away from public service because in his own way he explained that the job is getting just too overwhelming for one of his sensibilities and understanding of his place in society.He explained this all to us while announcing the city's latest effort at transparency. A transparency that will be more so than the current MUDDY WATERS we can hope. Anyhow, it seems the city will now be listing on line all the requests for documentation that citizens have been requesting in their probably futile effort to understand the actions taken by the city. Now why posting the list of request for documents rather than just posting the actual documents will add transparency is beyond me, but this is after all Greensboro.
Mayor Happy however assured us this was indeed transparency in government and then went on to berate us for all the extra effort and expense we the citizens were placing on ourselves with this need to know it all. In fact, he seemed to be bemoaning the fact that we residents actually dare to question our betters and just not accept as in the old days that some are better suited to make our decisions for us than we are ourselves. Ahh, the good old days when the elite ruled!
We residents have long appreciated the efforts of the Hammer Brother's owner of The Rhino and Ben Holder for their tirelessness in keeping fire to city toes. Now, with the blessing of a Higher Being I am sure, we have been given three men of unimpeachable character and intelligence in Joe Guarino, Sam Spagnola and Roch Smith to help us ferret out the truth.
Sam being an attorney tied up all the little loop holes the city attorney's office has been using to withhold the request for documentation on Project Homestead and the David Wray debacle. And with the honesty and special intelligence of these men when they are able to examine the documentation we can be assured that the truth will come out. I also expect that much of the documentation will find its way on line to back up their analysis. Joe seems especially adept at reading and then explaining in words most can comprehend the contents of any document. Roch will see that it is all published for all to see. Thank goodness for these men, and it is a special treat that we bloggers can call them our own. BB
