However, when I ran for Gbo. City Council, I received some stuff that I already had or knew. I guess the other candidates received stuff I requested. Greensboro gov. doesn't tell the candidates who requested the info. It seems like a waste of money printing and mailing some of the requested information and much of it can be gleaned by attending meetings, which some candidates don't have time to do. And if they don't have time to find out what is going on, then they probably don't have time to be good Council members. But;, nothing is perfect. The policy seems like a good idea on the face of it.

What if your campaign manager or someone working on your campaign presented the public information request? That doesn't sound right. I would ask Terry to be very specific as to where that policy came from. Ryan, that doesn’t smell very good.

And you can't prove a negative. WOW. Interesting town I've moved to. I think the next question you ask should be "what prompted the city to take this policy position on the dissemination of information to candidates" So, basically… either the other candidates aren’t asking questions, or you aren’t being given the information that they are.

Greensboro Grub here. Are you saying that if you ask for info and/or question someone in City Gov.t. that they must share even your questions with other candidates? In other words, you "competition" will know exactly what and where you are investigating? If this is the case... have you received any info on questions and/or info that your opponents are asking?
