The Greensboro News and Record had another Letter to the Editor for January 19, 2009 which was done by Nancy Vaughan, CLICKHERE or click on the title above.
Nancy Vaughan is a former Greensboro City Council member and is married to North Carolina State Representative who was just elected to Kay Hagan's North Carolina House Senate seat Don Vaughan.Here is a quote from the Letter to the Editor, "The protest petition will not eliminate controversial rezonings. But, the mere existence of the protest petition will motivate the rezoning applicant to engage in meaningful dialogue and to put forth the highest-quality proposal. It will result in improved development and development that is in greater harmony with the surrounding area. This will be especially important as we see more infill development."
It is great to hear former council members endorse restoring Protest Petitions to Greensboro especially when her husband might be a sponsor of a bill to do just that in the North Carolina General Assembly.
This is a place to get information on Protest Petitions in the State of North Carolina and how back in 1971 the City of Greensboro exempted themselves from this North Carolina General Statute. This blog is here to inform and did make the city of Greensboro be like every other city in this state and have a Protest Petition avaliable to their citizens in the zoning process,by passing a State Law in House Bill #64 during long session of 2009 on 3-5-2009.
