In the interest of public trust

Without getting bogged down in the details, Ben Holder (AKA The Troublemaker) and City Councilor Nancy Vaughan make two important points about the city of Greensboro legal staff's tiresome propensity to throw up a "personnel record" roadblock to addressing a public matter that might be embarrassing or difficult for a city employee.

Nancy's point: It is a legitimate question of public safety how police officers can be expected to do their jobs when responding to calls involving possible wrongdoing at a facility operated by their commanding officer.

Ben's point: When in the public interest, city council may vote to release information the city legal staff puts out of public reach.
