STATEMENTS:

• She abruptly canceled (and did not reschedule) last week’s council work session.

• There have been 83 more aggravated assaults year to date compared to last year.

• There have been several shooting incidents the last two weeks and there has not been an urgent or organized crisis management approach. 

• The mayor left the Greensboro City Council meeting early to go to a concert.

FACTS:

• The work session was canceled due to the conflict with President Joe Biden’s visit to Greensboro. When the President invites you to a meeting, you say “yes” no matter what.

• The majority of the Greensboro City Council and the City Manager attended President Biden’s speech at NC A&T.  Mr. Outling did not attend, again.

• The work session was immediately rescheduled for April 28, 2022.

• As of January 1, 2022 the FBI reclassified child abuse as an aggravated assault. The Greensboro Police Department issued a report on April 11, stating they were in the process of separating these cases to get an accurate comparison to last year. This has not been completed yet.

• The City has a response plan, we canvassing, we build community relationships, and we address all root causes. My campaign was endorsed by the Greensboro Police Officers Association because of my focus on public safety.

• I was present for the full 3 hour 40 minute business agenda, including the five votes on the Greensboro-Randolph mega site which Mr. Outling again had to recuse himself. I left after all business was concluded.
