Former WBTV ace reporter Mike Cozza, who most recently fell victim to county budget cuts when he was axed as media relations go-to guy for Mecklenburg Parks and Rec, uses an Op-Ed in the uptown paper of record to effectively dismantle the silly notion that a global recession was the main culprit behind Mecklenburg’s budget […]
And smiling the whole way, with officials from the NASCAR Hall of Fame claiming no reasons for concern despite attendance numbers that have failed to keep pace with even lowered expectations. HOF officials had originally ballyhooed a projected 800,000 visitors for the hall’s first year, which was subsequently trimmed to 575K; yet trends show the […]
