The Greensboro City Council’s Rejection Of A Data Center Moratorium
The vote was 5-4. The Greensboro City Council is comprised entirely of socialists. However, there is somewhat of a divide among these socialists. The recently elected contingent is mostly comprised of more committed, rabid Marxists. Those who had been on the council previously might be regarded as more conventional socialists […]
Agitation For Campus Voting Sites In Greensboro
The Greensboro Thread reports about efforts to pressure the Board of Elections to reinstate voting sites at NC A&T and UNCG. For some reason, GTCC’s multiple campuses, Guilford College, Greensboro College and Bennet College were not included in these demands. These people have too much time on their hands. They […]
County School System Again Trying To Squeeze More From The Taxpayer
Fox 8 reports they are asking for more money from the Guilford Board of County Commissioners even though the county budget was only passed a couple of weeks ago. By my recollection, the county commissioners do not have ready access to the county schools system’s finances. They are not able […]
Greensboro Water Bills: Massive Increases Since 2013
George Hartzman reports that our water bills have increased greater than 100 percent since 2013. That represents an increase of greater than 8 percent per year.

For Greensboro homeowners, that is in addition to the city of Greensboro’s 19% increase. The socialist commissioners are claiming that they restrained themselves, and the schools say they need more, but it is obvious the usual special interests are getting paid, and taxpayers’ money is being wasted. We need good […]
Will Guilford Commissioners Feel Restrained Because of Greensboro’s Whopping 19% Tax Increase?
The Board of County Commissioners in Guilford County has not yet decided on its budget and property tax rate. Given the fact that many of its residents are now facing a huge increase in Greensboro city taxes, there are rumblings they might take this into consideration when deciding on their […]
Hartzman: Property Tax Increase Paying Mostly For More Compensation For City Employees
George Hartzman’s analysis reveals that 57% of the revenue from our 19% tax increase will go to overall compensation for city staff. He points out this is much different than the justification offered to the public for the astronomical tax increase. They lied to us. Big time.
Greensboro City Council Raises Property Taxes
The vote was unanimous, thereby demonstrating that they are ALL socialists at this point. There is no evidence of a concerted effort to find spending reductions. The homeowner does not have a single representative on the Greensboro City Council. At this point, it is more than predictable. They are trying […]
