assessment poll? What is that?
Over $100,000 from Action Greensboro and Greensboro Chamber FOundation.
It looks like Greensboro Chamber Foundation must have said we will take the assessment poll with the exact numbers matching.
Where is the disbursements for citizens for a better guilford at total by product of this committee.
Citizens for a Better Guilford is a different committee. That committee's disbursements should be listed in its pre-referendum report, which is posted on the BOE website.
