It's been a super busy time here at Conquering Chaos, LLC. Business is busy (for that I am thankful). I have also added another task to my plate. I have decided to run for town council in Greensboro, come October. I have always preached to be the change you wish to see, so here I am....doing the dang thing...
In doing so, I have been working along side fellow residents, to review financial data/decisions made by our current council (who have no background in finance). Water/sewer has been a lot of my focus, as well as a magnitude of other concerns, including, but not limited to budgeting.
Our town has been screaming for open communication and transparency from our local government for at least as long as I've lived here...since late 2017. However, it's essentially been the same individuals circling the bowl for years now, so there had been no movement toward satisfying the public pleas. Therefore, I issued a PIA for a years worth of zoom recordings, for Town Council Meetings, which I successfully obtained. I then created a YouTube channel for the residents, so they can go back and watch meetings they were unable to attend in person or go back and watch after the fact, in order to stay informed. Zoom is no longer an option, due to a zoom bomb situation, which is under federal investigation, so I am also recording the meetings myself now. I also created a new town group on Facebook, to get information out to residents that pertains to our town or county.
I am requesting/having meetings with town employees, to get a deeper understanding of the responsibilities/duties of the council members, and that of the town employees.
I will also be attending other neighboring town council meetings, for comparison, as well as public hearings, and a planning and zoning appeals session (regarding solar farming). I have been speaking with council members from other towns, police sheriff's, reporters, etc.
I have been working morning till night as of late. I am trying to get my mind around these things, before welcoming my first grandchild at the end of March.
I never saw myself in a direction of politics, of any kind, if I am being honest. However, the only way things change is if we change them. I am fortunate to work with a group of intelligent, experienced, well rounded individuals, and I am confident we can do great things for our town. Come warmer weather, we will be hosting informational sessions, which I am looking forward to, as our following is growing by the day.
So, this is what the woman behind Conquering Chaos, LLC has been up to....just that - conquering chaos 😂
