Joe Wilson on the Black Book & Greensboro’s “Real Problems”
Posted by ryan on January 19, 2008
The infamous “black book” created lots of discussion yesterday in Greensboro. Joe Wilson (ran for city council district 3 last November) appears to be fed up with the situation, “this issue has the same bearing on our real problems as does the debate over where to hold the Bi-centennial sack race.”
“Ask yourself what has been done to combat gangs in Greensboro since the election,” said Wilson. “Ask yourself what has been done to force the current leadership in the city staff to step up and actually make the necessary changes to repair our city’s image. Where are the tax reductions? Transparency in government ,remember that one? I think not.”
He continues,”Our city is in dire straits and could literally become a city we don’t want to live in. Don’t take my word for it ask yourself what signs of economic recovery are you aware of ? Have you heard of anyone getting a great new job ? Has your elected official been quoted as saying you can expect lowered tax rates or increased police presence?

Bill, he was never up to the job in the first place. Just look at his resume. He has no background in business or politics or government other than a program through the IOG. His college degree isn’t in management, economics, political science, public administration or business- it’s in physics.
