AT LEAST WRAL IS NOW DISMISSING ANY PRETENSE ...

Well at least WRAL no longer attempts any pretense of impartiality. When they are not busy telling people how much they care about the poor and underprivileged, they are by works generating revenue by running lottery ads on their station.

Mr. Stansbury:

The City did not conduct public hearings regarding the acquisition of the Dix property.

Subject: Public Information Request (Dix Public Hearing Minutes)

 

Manager Allen/Mr. Williams,

 

Thanks for your help with the requests I send.

 

Here is what I am seeking.

 

From January 1, 2004 to January 1, 2013, all minutes from any public hearings concerning the City of Raleigh acquiring the “Dix” property for a possible destination park.

 

Thanks for your assistance as always.

 

Joey Stansbury

THE DIX LEASE - THE 2013 CLOSED SESSION MINUTES

The minutes below represent all 2013 Raleigh City Council closed session minutes concerning acquisition of the Dorothea Dix property. Of course, all discussions were conducted beyond public oversight. Our Raleigh City Council has seemingly abrogated their governance on this issue to an unelected advocacy group - the Dix Park "Visionaries."

BCC: BLIND CARBON COPY AND BRANNON CO CHAIR

In email correspondence from December 2011, Kevin Hill blind carbon copied future Wake County Board of Education members Susan "the singing CPA" Evans, Christine Kushner and Jim "the Great Oz" Martin.

What's interesting is who he also blind carbon copied - the other Wake County Board of Education member and ex-officio chair of the Wake County Board of Education, Yevonne Brannon.
