Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Baseball stadium citizens panel to watch spending

It may report monthly to council, official says

From the Winston-Salem Journal: The citizens who serve on the baseball stadium oversight committee will most likely monitor spending and report their opinions about how construction is going to the Winston-Salem City Council each month, an assistant Winston-Salem city manager said yesterday.

Assistant City Manager Greg Turner spent part of yesterday drawing up the details that will govern the workings of the committee.

Turner said that the council will likely vote to create the committee at the council's July 6 meeting.
