On the question of who paid for the vacation to Bermuda that found downtown greenway contractor John Lomax lounging in a pool with greenway project manager Dabney Sanders' husband Walker Sanders, Dabney Sanders writes in an email:

"walker and i have been close friends of john lomax since we first moved to greensboro about 12 years ago. and as friends do - we often spend social time together including trips."  [sic]

and

"everyone paid their own way - it was purely personal - no business involved." [sic]

Sanders also took issue with the idea that she "steered" the contract to her friend. She says that while she is the project manager for the downtown greenway, she does not have the authority to steer construction funds for the project and that "the downtown greenway oversight committee made the decision."

Sanders did not respond to my request for the minutes from the meeting at which the committee decided to recommend Lomax.
