A Comment 2 a Councilwoman...

I responded 2 a post on Greensboro City Councilwoman Sandy Carmany's blog she did awhile back when she mentioned X-Associate General Counsel Blair Carr leaving her position & the fight against the city's adult businesses.

My response 2 her blog is below...

With all due respect Ms. Carmany:

Why don't u & the City Council, instead of going after businesses that ARE NOT breaking any laws & go after the 1's that ARE BREAKING THE LAW? U & your group messed up big-time when u had 2 expand where adult businesses could b located awhile back. When u did that, u DIRECTLY ADMITTED that u were unfairly trying 2 close them down because there was NO PLACE they could reasonably locate.

U can't repeal "The Grandfather Clause" because if a church/school/home were 2 open up next 2 an adult business 2day, even though the club/bookstore/etc. might have been there 4 YEARS, THEY would b the 1's not in compliance & would have 2 move, not the church/school/home. That's the main reason the city lost the fight in Federal Court while other cities around the nation were winning.

But I guess this is what I would expect from a city that's spending $$$ trying 2 shut these businesses down & spending upwards of $400,000.00 A YEAR maintaining a PRIVATELY-OWNED PARK Downtown but won't fund/finance/refurbish low-cost housing 4 people who really need it. Instead we have the homeless sleeping out in the parking lot of the shelter...
