Sorry, caught a touch of the Flu. So not much for today.
Paid for by the Candidate- Lawrence Wilson I said I would begin to show the City Election Ordinance. There are numerous parts wherein they have little to do with where we are now One that is in play is the List of Candidates. There has been a change status for one Candidate.
As I follow through with the 2016 Election and what happened, versus what is happening now, one may have to come back to this page to keep the dots connected OR where the City disconnected the system. Below is the Election Law concerning Municipal Elections: 103.14 APPLICABILITY OF STATE ELECTION LAW TO MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. The provisions of West Virginia Code Chapter 3, as amended, shall so far as the same can be applied and so far as not otherwise provided in this article, govern the conduct of Municipal elections and to that extent, such Chapter 3, is hereby adopted and made a part of this article by reference. The Recorder shall perform all duties as required by the Clerk of the County Commission and Circuit Clerk as in the case of State and County elections. The duties imposed by general State election laws upon County Commissions shall devolve upon Council, if not inconsistent with other provisions of this article. The Recorder shall be the chief election officer who shall perform such other duties as required by Ordinance and West Virginia Code 3-1-1 et seq., as amended. (Ord. 0-19-88. Passed 12-22-88.) Allow me this, who's name do you see as being a mandatory part of an Election? The best you are going to be able to put in is that of Ms. Smith, Council Recorder. Now, how did this get applied in the 2016 Election? Now how is an Election for a "Primary" set up versus a "General" Election? 103.16 NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS. Primary elections conducted in the City shall be non-partisan. At each primary election, candidates for all offices to be filled at the ensuing general election by the voters of the City shall be nominated by the voters as follows: (a) Mayor. The individuals who receive the highest and second highest number of legally cast votes shall be declared the nominees for Mayor and advance to the general election. (b) Recorder. The individuals who receive the highest and second highest number of legally cast votes shall be declared the nominees for Recorder and advance to the general election. (c) Councilman. The ten individuals who receive the highest number of legally cast votes shall be declared the nominees for Councilman and advance to the general election. All ties shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 103.12. (Ord. 0-19-88. Passed 12-22-88.) 103.17 CANCELLATION OF NON-PARTISAN PRIMARY ELECTION. In the event that in the same election year three or less candidates file for the Office of Mayor, three or less candidates file for the Office of Recorder, and fifteen or less candidates file for the Office of Councilman, upon certification to Council by the Recorder of such filings, Council may, by resolution, order that the primary election for that year be waived and not held. In such event, the only election held for that election year shall be the non-partisan general election, held in accordance with the provisions of Article 103, relating to such general elections. (Ord. 10-00. Passed 12-28-00.) Paid for by the Candidate- Lawrence Wilson Someone was telling me they still had not seen a list of Candidates for 2020.
Mayor: Randy Rapp Council Recorder: Cathy Smith Melissa Elam City Council: Kelli Sassi Craft Bruce Rogers Henry Sasyn Roger D. Bibbee Michael Andrew Jacobs (Notice of Withdrawal 01/ 29/ 2020) Alice Goodwin Steve Black Tom Azinger Harry Helmick Kim Williams Jim Leach Mike Elam Lawrence Wilson So there you have it, the 2020 Rogues Gallery for Vienna. Started to define how the City did the 2016 Election versus what it is doing now. It is a bit long, I think? But will need to be broken into at least two parts to show the corruption than AND now.
Will get it done as I can make it easy for the folks to follow. Paid for by the Candidate- Lawrence Wilson The candidate listing that was finally put out yesterday is a massive effort by the Rapp's to protect him at all costs. As I said before, this election as it is going on now is so corrupt.
I need to talk to someone to see their ideas on how to try and protect Vienna from more years of spend, spend, spend. As some of this unfolds, I am going to comment on it. Paid for by the Candidate- Lawrence J. Wilson still checking on data from filing on 25 January. Will post when something arises
#56. Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad Company.
George Washington's Rules of Civility The above says a lot about some of the people in this Community. Had your chance and blew it- again. Sad I would post/ fill-in more on the filing Sunday. And as you have noted, I did not get it done. My apologies as I was doing some looking around to see it open and is being hinted at. As you know, we have people that will put anything on a site just to appear knowledgeable. Was talking to one of the folks and it was mentioned several months back that Mr. Rapp had re-appointed his wife to the Library Board. At that time, I said he was now running again. And of course, he now is. Will do a bit more research on this, but it seems a while back that if one was running for office he/she could not sued. The case would just gather dust. That is where I think we are now? I am not sure of course, but would hope by shining the spotlight of Truth on Justice Workman, she choose not to file for re-election? She just protected Judge Beane for months and months while I was trying to get him removed from the case. Until she actually leaves, the WVSC is just as tainted and dirty as it was when the Feds, came in and cleaned out Justices. Now she still has till May to do things to protect that case. But all I can do is wait and see. There are some plans afoot, but still early. The very fact that Mr. Rapp is desperate for that case to not come to the surface, proves that if was innocent, why not just get it done? Because he is guilty in so many ways. In the Saturday Blat as you know, there were a few more filings noted. The list is not complete and probably won't be till Wednesday? I had wondered where Mr. Azinger the Elder had went and by golly, up he popped running for City Council again. I was asked why he would do since it is said he just gets along? I said there were two things about Mr. A. the Elder on what this entail. 1. He is a bit more fiscally responsible that Mr. Rapp. HOWEVER, he is every bit as prone to give the City Employees the big raises/ benefit protections. That is a major drawback in trying corral those big expenses they have been arguing about. 2. Now, the cheese starts to get binding. He is definitely not up to the going back and forth to the State Legislature anymore. Being on the Council for four years will run up to the 2024 Election, when his pride and joy Mr. Azinger the Younger will be running again. That is the best chance for Mr. A. the Elder to protect his wayward son from some of the things he keeps posting. There is no guarantee he could run two more races, so just coast. The main point here is that Mr. Conley, had no problem throwing the City under the bus to try and get too Charleston. He hasn't done a damn thing for three years here, so don't expect much out of him now. It has been a dirty Election up too this point and will really show in the next week or so. As I posted before, the City of Vienna got totally screwed and not a soul at the moment that can be trusted to take care of it? 'nuff said'. I will be posting late on Sunday. Have to review some of the info that dropped yesterday on who has filed for what positions. I did figure out the sweet heart deal in one race.
So have a nice morning and this will flesh out later. 'nuff said' People who can not stand by their convictions soon end up as a doormat if not worse?
- Lawrence Wilson Well, Brenda Powell has shown her colors a bit more with a post early yesterday. I have stressed "fiscally responsible" individuals. That in Vienna will hardly be the Progressive Liberal/ Socialist/ LGBTQ groups. And she is every bit one of them and has been for at least the last two years. These "stipulations" as she called them is to stop people from filing as if being clear headed and responsible is somehow a negative? Somehow, I am suddenly trying to stop Vienna from getting ahead? She has even made a point of stating that the person offering to help is a MAN. What difference does that make unless one is trying to tell the women they should not waste their time to try and file? If the things she has done and will continue to do are not so pathetic, they might well be funny. Wasting millions and millions of our Tax Dollars is not. Denying people their right to vote is not. Look at the comment she made about a woman from Alabama coming here. How is that relative to anything? "When a single mom of 2 came to WV from Alabama 9 years ago and became a Delegate in this state is/has been fighting for the rights of the people bringing change to her county. I know we have people here in Vienna with that same passion and we need you to come forward to help change happen". But for HER agenda, she is separating this along gender lines and that is NOT an accident. But shows her Leftist ideology of Women versus Men. Let me say this about that. I am the ONLY person in this Community that has put my money where my mouth is. I have spent over $12,000.00, fighting Mr. Rapp and his sidekicks right up the line to the WVSC, as he attempts to hide what he has done in the past 7 years at taxpayer expense. Even our Council Members have done nothing to bring Mr. Rapp to heel when they should have been filing Ethics Complaints and Lawsuits to force him to obey the Law(s). I am the ONLY person offering to help people file for office albeit the criteria that they prove they are residents and registered to vote. What more can be done to show who not just "talks the talk, but walks the walk", I don't know. She sure hasn't offered a penny for anything except to put the gas in her mouth and the air between her ears. So if you folks want to believe the garbage she spews, that is your choice. IF you want to know what we can do to move Vienna in a new direction, change that Council. She has actually tried to attach herself to my efforts to help financially as I post this for the wellbeing of our Community. I would note that she wants YOU to contact her first before she will give you my information- why? IF and I repeat IF she was serious, she would have just posted it and went about her business. She wants to meddle in what you do or not. Here it is again for me 304.295.4801 It is a "free call" folks. The information on who has filed so far has been tamped down by Ms. Smith at the City. Yet, all of a sudden, she will be working Saturday ALL day, to let people file if they wish. I suspect that this is an effort by Brenda Powell and Ms. Smith to try and file more of the Left for whatever Council seats? But anyone is welcome to file to run. I have no problem with that. I just will not assist you with Fees if not "fiscally responsible" in your pursuits I encourage you, one and all to understand that anyone who is a "Joe six pack", can have their personal opinion. BUT, once one takes an Oath to serve the Community in whatever capacity, they are obligated to treat one and all as equals in representation- NO cronyism, favoritism or nepotism. That is the difference between "Joe" and his six pack and an Official. It is hoped that you or some of you understand that your filing AND participation is needed to move Vienna in a new direction. I understand that many of the "independents" are in fact fed up moderate Republicans and possibly some democrats? You are probably the ones that will decide the Election in November. I have commented and commented, sometimes harshly on Brenda and her constant interference in things that she was not invited into. Reading her comment on today, it may appear I will be at the Police Station from 7:00 A.M. till 3:00 P.M. That is not true, I will be there to assist you on a scheduled basis where hopefully several can process at one time. It is a very short process to fill out the form and for Ms. Smith to confirm the filing. It is my hope that you folks do not play into her constant drama and work for Vienna as a WHOLE. But that will happen comes 1 January 2021. We need to get you there. 'nuff said'. |
