The Greensboro City Council held a relatively low-key meeting tonight, the first regular meeting since five out of nine members voted to oust former City Manager Mitchell Johnson.
Three significant developments to report:
1. A unanimous vote to allow staff to move forward with the construction of Gateway Gardens;
2. A 7-1 vote to support state legislation extending ethics law to cover city and county officials (the lone vote in opposition was cast by District 1 Councilwoman Dianne Bellamy-Small); and
3. District 5 Councilwoman Trudy Wade and Greensboro police Detective Scott Sanders are now codefendants with the city of Greensboro, former police Chief David Wray and former Deputy Chief Randall Brady in a discrimination lawsuit filed by dozens of black police officers.
More details to come in the March 25 issue of YES! Weekly.
