"Regarding curfews,
Matheny said the issue came out of feedback
from downtown stakeholders
who say that minors who could not get into bars
are hanging out downtown until 2am.

A democracy will continue to exist
up until the time that voters discover
that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury
From that moment on
the majority always votes for the candidates
who promise the most benefits…
with the result that every democracy
will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy…
…nations always progressed through the following sequence
From bondage to spiritual faith
from spiritual faith to great courage
from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance
from abundance to complacency
from complacency to apathy
from apathy to dependence
from dependence back into bondage

"DGI operates on a $1.1 million budget.
The money comes from three sources.
Half comes from a special 9-cent tax levied on downtown property owners;
(from taxes levied on customers, otherwise known as taxpayers)
30 percent is tax money
from the general fund of the city of Greensboro and Guilford County;
and 20 percent comes through fundraising."

"Half comes from a special 9-cent tax levied on downtown property owners;

Does this mean a meal bought downtown has a 9% tax on it vs. a meal bought outside of downtown?
