A Little Urbanity: Still More About Protest Petitions Thanks Again David Wharton Part Deux




David Wharton has a new article over at his blog called A Little Urbanity CLICKHERE in regards to bringing back Protest Petitions to Greensboro.
On January 13, 2009 the League of Women Voters of the Triad held a luncheon with the speaker being David Owens from the UNC School of Government his picture is above from the luncheon.
David Owens spoke for about an hour on the subject of Protest Petitions in North Carolina. Thanks to David Wharton on his blog because there are scanned documents that are a must read on Protest Petitions provided by David Owens.
It was great to see Greensboro City Council member Goldie Wells in attendence at the luncheon. But an invitation was given to all the Greensboro City Council members to listen to an expert in the field on zoning laws in North Carolina especially in regards to Protest Petition .Since the whole Greensboro City Council members didn't show up for the luncheon except for Goldie Wells it is in their best interest to read the documents over at A Little Urbanity click on the title above.
It is great to get more post on this issue and to see what David Wharton has to say is correct.
There was one person in attendence who I had the opportunity to talk to after the meeting and it happen to be former Greensboro Mayor Carolyn Allen , here his her bio "Mayor Allen, whose public service extends back over more than 30 years, will mark 10 years of service on the Greensboro City Council in December of 1999 having first been elected as an at-large member and Mayor Pro Tem in 1989 and again in 1991. In 1993, she was elected Mayor of Greensboro, the first woman to hold this office. She was subsequently re-elected twice (in 1995 and 1997)." (source Greensboro press release from 1999). While talking with Carolyn Allen after the luncheon the question was asked are you for bringing back Protest Petitions to the citizens of Greensboro. The ex mayor said YES and I said can I quote you on that and she said YES. It is great to hear a ex city council member and ex mayor come out in support of Protest Petitions for the citizens of Greensboro let's see on Janiary 21, 2009 where the current members stand.
