As the council (and members of Greensboro’s blogging community) focuses on swimming pools, hotels and text messages… there is a very real reality that crime is still a large problem in Greensboro.
Today, the Greensboro News & Record reports that a 17-year old boy has been arrested for shooting a 16-year old girl in the throat.

One might imagine that things like jobs and crime would outweigh things such as text messages. If you watch tonight’s council meeting – pay attention to how much time is spent talking about jobs/crime in comparison to text messages and seating arrangements.
