Greensboro Citizens for Responsible Waste Management
In view of the city of Greensboro’s failure to:
Secure a profitable mechanism for the sale of methane naturally emitting from the White Street Landfill, when we have, according to The Rhino Times, the largest landfill in the state without one, losing $2,000,000 per year in revenue and;
Charge a fee for use of the waste collection transfer station to private garbage haulers sufficient to cover overhead which, according to The Rhino Times, amounting to a subsidy of $625,000 annually,
I hereby request that the city council take up these matters at the earliest opportunity and begin to make plans to rectify both situations, as they appear to be in violation of city ordinances, NC statutes and are not in the best fiscal interests of the community which the city council has been elected to serve.
Should council fail to act on these matters, we the citizens reserve the right to petition the legislature for referenda to achieve our aims.
Additionally, it has not escaped our notice that council appears more intent on spending money than conserving it. This pattern of abusing the taxpayers needs to be rectified should those currently sitting on council wish to retain their positions. In these tough economic times, austerity is much more politically prudent than the profligacy which we have thus far witnessed.

I’d appreciate input on the development of such an organization, a statement and to whom it should be sent.
Also, let it be noted that our local paper of record, the eponymous News & Record, has not to my knowledge published a word on either subject. Perhaps when Killian recovers from his most recent bout of hypochondria, he might find time to address it.
07-21-12 10:30: Absent any further instruction or criticism, I am sending this to all members of the Greensboro City Council.
I’ve seen Billy’s posting on methane reclamation-related matters and haven’t dug into the technicalities and the follow-on economic feasibility matters, but I strongly suspect that this could be a serious money maker in the right place. Seems that’s not G’boro, eh ?
Sorry RBM, I’m not welcome here.
Stop dissembling and answer the man.
Thanks for the offer, Billy, but I’m pretty handy in doing my own research.
It’s just not a high priority for me. It is a curiosity that pushes me as I’m always considered it as a viable vocational pursuit, in some way.
RBM doesn’t need an answer, he’s already read my post and you’ve already made known to the world that you’re of the opinion that I’ve nothing to add. So in your own words from a reply you made to me on this very blog many months ago, “Do your own fucking research.”
Remember that one? I do. It hurt. Deeply!
You’ve made your bed. You’ve insulted me time and again when my intentions were good, attacked me when I supported your arguments, called me a liar when what I said proved to be true, insulted my intelligence, forced rules on me that you did not follow and behaved like a spoiled child from the day we met. And all the while I supported you, enabled you. linked to your posts, promoted your posts on various social networking sites like stumbleupon, twitter, digg and facebook never asking for anything in return.
You’ve posted drunken screeds then denied your mental illness and pointed fingers at everyone, insulted everyone but you’re a thin skinned child who cannot take what you dish out. Ban me again if you wish but now everyone knows the truth including all those who doted over you for so long.
I never had any ill will towards you. I’ve taken up for you time and again even when you were simultaneously bashing me in a different thread. You accuse me of mental issues that I have to run back to my therapist and shrink the verify that I don’t have. As if I need more than lifelong PTSD and Depression. Yes, I have issues and you have used those issues to prey on myself and others. Everyone knows it and I am one of your last remaining admirers.
And when it comes to garbage and landfill issues– I’m the one with the fucking NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources state certifications on my office wall, asshole. 100 fucking percent on my test scores on every exam in every class, Bozo. Not you, not John Hammer and not the Greensboro fucking City Council.
For once in your life, be a fucking man.
Sincerely, and I really do mean that– your biggest fan and admirer, -Billy Jones
Thanks for mentioning the credentials.
That would bump you/your sites up in priority for any research I might do.
All I asked was that you answer the man. But feel free to wallow in self pity. And you’re not a fan, but a stalker.
Might as well send this thread to City Council as well: http://edcone.typepad.com/wordup/2012/07/ifyi-2.html That way they know what kind of person they’re dealing with. Oh wait, never mind, I’ve already sent it to their personal e-mail addresses.
Funny, when this feud between us first began between us, Michele or Janet e-mailed me to ask what was going on and I replied that I thought you were just playing some sort of a game and I was just playing along. It took me a while to figure out that for you it wasn’t a game and you were just evil and sad. I stood by you all those years. I gave you every chance to show me the respect I deserved because I recognized your talent but you never grew up. Now I leave you to live with your actions. It could cost you everything.
It’s never been about me, leave Curious George alone, help him if you can but make sure you are not at fault should any harm come to him. For while I stood down and took your abuse I will not continue to allow you to to abuse George. You very life depends on it.
