Time for Accountability: Taxpayers Deserve an Independent Budget Review in Guilford County

Our Classrooms Are Starving While Bureaucracy Feasts—Time to Rethink the Budget

As a long-time resident and taxpayer in Greensboro, I believe it’s time for accountability in how our local tax dollars are managed. With county departments requesting a staggering $49 million and Guilford County Schools seeking an additional $44 million, we face the threat of a property tax increase that could raise rents by 30% or more. It’s time to demand an independent budget review to expose wasteful spending and prioritize our classrooms over bureaucratic bloat. Join me in calling for transparency and results—let’s ensure our hard-earned money is invested wisely for the future of Greensboro.

Ensuring Transparency and Accountability in Greensboro’s Governance

Cutting Waste, Exposing Conflicts: A Call for Transparency in Greensboro’s Government

As President Trump and Elon Musk lead the Department of Government Efficiency in tackling wasteful spending, it’s time for Greensboro to follow suit. Our local government must prioritize transparency and accountability, especially in light of recent concerns about conflicts of interest. With significant funds allocated to programs like Cure Violence, we must ask: are our tax dollars being spent wisely? Join me, Nicky Smith, as I commit to ethical leadership and advocate for comprehensive audits, public engagement, and independent oversight. Together, we can build a better Greensboro—one that truly serves its residents. Let’s make our voices heard!
