I believe in the future of Greensboro as an economic and cultural leader in our state and region.  We have a great base on which to build.  We must use vision and effort to realize that greatness.  We must start with a city government that meets the needs and desires of the citizens in an effective and efficient manner.  I believe that I have the experience, vision, analytical skills and motivation to help lead Greensboro through this process.

If you agree with my vision for Greensboro, please vote for me, Art Boyett, for City Council from District 5, on November 3.  I will be "Your Voice on City Council."  Look at my web site at www.boyettforcitycouncil.com.
