The Citizens Committee for Greensboro's Oct. 27 pre-referendum report is now posted at the Guilford County Board of Elections website. Also see recent 48-Hour Notices.
The committee was formed to campaign for the four municipal bonds on the ballot tomorrow in Greensboro. At $134.1 million, the transportation bond is more than twice as large as any of the other four bonds on the ballot. Next in line is the $50.5 million War Memorial Auditorium bond, followed by the $20.0 million parks and recreation bond and the relatively miniscule $1.0 million housing bond.
