City of Greensboro Public Information Request

The proper operation of municipal government

requires that members of the governing body be honest, impartial, fair, and responsible

to the citizens;

that governmental decisions and policies

be made in proper channels of the governmental structure;

that public office not be used for personal gain;

and that the public have confidence in the integrity of its local government.

Could UNC's Frayda S. Bluestein and Rita Danish
be any more wrong
on Robbie Perkins conflict of interest on the White Street Landfill issue?

WHEREAS, to protect the integrity of governmental decisions

and to promote public confidence

with respect to the impartiality and the fairness of those decisions,

it is deemed in the best interest of the city to establish minimum standards

that the mayor and members of the city council shall follow

to avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance thereof,

in governmental decision-making.

Facts Provided by City Attorney J. Rita McNeil Danish
on Robbie's conflict of interest on the White Street Landfill:

…WHEREAS, the Mayor and members of the City Council recognize

that it is important for the citizens of Greensboro to know that when they act

the decisions and the policies are not made for personal gain,

in order that the public will have confidence in the integrity of its local government…
