Mike Baron, Greensboro Water Demand and Polygraphs
Most of us know that Mike Baron has, at least for a time, cranked down active work on his blog. I am very grateful to Mike for his courage in speaking out regarding what has been amiss. He has given us all a real education regarding water demand in the city of Greensboro; what factors drive water consumption; and what our city government has been doing on these matters. And he has demonstrated a real artistic flair in presenting his information. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
Mike has even offered to take a polygraph to demonstrate the veracity of the story he has told.
He has been battling various medical problems, and I hope readers will keep him in their thoughts and prayers.
Thanks, Mike. Hurry back when you think the time is right.



Good luck, Mike, and thank you for everything you've done for Greensboro. Your efforts aren't in vain.

Thanks, Billy, and I agree. Mike made an enormous contribution. I do not think that anyone who has seen his work will ever think about water issues in the city of Greensboro quite the same.

Mr. Baron, Do look after yourself as your health is far more important than another problems. They will still be around unfortunately. I appreciate all the information you have given us.
Sincerely, Brenda Bowers

Yes indeed. Mike did a good thing. And I hope his efforts will not be in vain. Alas, he pretty much got the same treatment by the journalistic powers-that-be as some of the rest of us.

To Joe and others:
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I believe my story is now complete. I will keep my blog "active" on the World Wide Web and see if anything more ever comes of it.
The subject of Greensboro water is bound to come up again and again, and sometime in the future my report may get the attention it deserves.
The Ramblin' Randleman Reservoir is far from complete so it will be interesting to see what happens.
