Robbie Perkins, via FB, Via Edcone.com:
"It is time to start the move toward an authority. It will probably take several years to get it done, but it is clearly the best and fairest business model for the Coliseum."
If Robbie is for it, it must be a bad idea.
Among Brown's biggest hits:
"...The impending construction of a $19 million swim center on the coliseum grounds."
How is a money suck hole that skrewed Greensboro's taxpayers an acomplishment?
