I understand that there have been some spirited discussions

but some progress has been made.

What specific progress has been made?
.

The task force is prepared to offer some changes

that will directly target the roughly 7% of substandard rental housing

and they will give the City a greater ability to address those properties.
.

What specific changes?

.

What greater ability?

.

How was the 7% statistic arrived at?

.

How did who figure 93% of Greensboro rental properties are above standard

if they arn't inspected?

.

If the "roughly 7% of substandard rental housing" can be "directly targeted,"

.

Where are the properties, who are the landlords, for 2010, 2009, 2008, etc...,

and what are the details of the system to be set up to identify 2011's X%,

and what, if any, are any corellations between rental property owners

and City Council and County Commissioner campaign donanations?

.

Do any Greensboro City Councilmembers or Guilford County Commissioners

have rental properties, are involved in developing or leasing rental properties,

or have any close family members involved in the rental property business?

.

In addition to making it easier to report substandard housing

there is always the potential to save money.

Is Marlene Sanford a lobbyist?
.
If Marlene Sanford is a lobbyist,
why is who paying her to do what?
.
If Marlene Sanford is a lobbyist,
why is she on the RUCO taskforce,
and why does the taskforce meet at her offices?

If Marlene Sanford is a lobbyist,
why is she on the Aerotropolis Board?

If Marlene Sanford is lobbying firm TREBIC’s President,
should she, as the chairwoman of the Intergovernmental Planning Task Force,
disclose TREBIC’s position on merging departments,
and who was told what during 2009’s election?

Does it seem counterintuitive
that the Intergovernmental Planning Task Force
would conclude that Guilford County “can’t count on” cost savings and efficiencies
from merging departments?

Why are 10 of the 18 members of the Intergovernmental Planning Task Force
also members of the Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition?

Why would Marlene Sanford express adamant opposition
to merging departments in private meetings with at least one 2009 City Council Candidate,
and express a dissimilar demeanor before Guilford County’s Commissioners?
