― Walter Scott
I have said before that I am a watcher of people. What they say, what they do as we are more interesting than most believe of themselves.
The ongoing saga of Ms. Workman and her impeachment is another example of how this State has little or no Law. The WVSC Justices seem by and large to believe they are only subject to the Laws they write for themselves. The recent decision by a group of Acting SC Justices to take the position that she cannot be taken to Trial as the Legislature impeached her incorrectly is one example of covering for each other. It is enjoyable that the "Machine" is fighting with the "Machine"? Her Attorney stated that the Case is now moot and no appeal is likely?
The threat and that is what it is from the SC representatives to the Senate that if they violate the current "Writ of Prohibition" would have consequences if ignored? Yet the actions of the Legislature are themselves being ignored by the WVSC group too.
It is hoped that the House or the Senate or both in conjunction with each other do file an Appeal/ Friend of the Court Brief to the SCOTUS. If the WVSC is allowed to act as if only ITS Laws count for them, than the State is lost. We will be living in a State of Anarchy pretty much as we do now when dealing with the Judiciary. Only than it would be an out in the open Coup D'état of the Executive and Legislative Branches. Remember, it was the Feds that got Mr. Ketcham and Mr. Loughery.
In the Daily Blat "Our Opinion" column of the 14th it was the decision that the SCOTUS must resolve the ongoing WVSC issue with the Legislative Branches. There is really little doubt that for at least one time, the Blat is right. The State as I have noted before and now is Lawless and in the beginning of a State of Anarchy. The Courts have run foot loose and fancy free for more years than most of us can remember. I have watched some cases that went there to be decided not by the Rule of Law, but by the eccentricities of the moment. The constant Court Legislating from the Bench has and is destroying this State. True, the Legislative and Executive Branches at many Levels are in themselves the blame for the poorly written and even more so enforcement of the Law they do write.
But what is not so obvious to many and who the Hell cares to even more is that this is a sign of what each and everyone of you is subject too if in front of a Circuit Court itself in at least this County? And watching what is going on with the so called "Judges" from other Counties who are now deciding right and wrong, the problems are more all over than just one Court.
Mr. Justice in setting up $100 Million, what he calls a "Stability Fund" seems to be doing what the School BOE's/ Wood County Library is/ are doing by renewing Levies into little more than perpetual sources of raises/ benefit increases? The fact that it is only for the PEIA now is just the start. Any additional increases in State Tax Revenue will by and large get syphoned off for Raises/Benefits too.
It was a surprise to find the latest 24/7 Wall Street Survey on the 20 October Daily Blat in the "Our Opinion" Column? So far, I have not seen it anywhere that I normally look at news. It is of course the usual doom and gloom. State now has the lowest median household in any State in the Country. It went on to add insult to injury by noting we are the worst in terms of unemployment, the poverty rate and the number of FAMILIES that earn less than $10,000./ Year. Even at minimum wage of $8.75/ hour x 2018= $18,200/Year. What is wrong with this picture? This State seems to be going backwards while the Government at whatever level is telling us how great life is here?
It is frequently posted here "That the Truth will be outed in Time as most things are". In the City Council Meeting of the 11th, if one will call it that, Mr. Rapp went off on how Mr. Rogers is the City liaison/ Coordinates with the Senior Center Group. Mr. Brookover had in his naivete', stated that he was the City Representative for all the Seniors, which he is not. I hope I cleared up that sad misconception? But than at the Senior Center Lunch on the 13th, Mr. Rogers said he did not talk about Politics or Religion at the Center. So if Mr. Rogers is not spewing City Propaganda, than who is left? Mr. Rapp, who I do not believe goes down there much except to "rally" the troops every month or so? Than we have Ms. Kern, who is the I am not really sure of the Title so will call her the City Cheerleader is who is left? What if I suspected that BOTH of them spread whatever propaganda needs spreading whether one calls it politics or tiddlywink rules? If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck and spreads crap like a duck, than it is a duck. While Mr. Rogers does live at the Center day after day with his charming wife, he does talk extensively with that small group of daily attendees who are also regulars at the Center. They also in turn spread the whatever? The whoever and whenever in the Tin Shed, I don't know, but can be pretty comfortable that they too get the Party Line?
This became a bit clearer to me when one of the there every day gang made a public comment about something I said at an earlier September City Council Meeting. But it was done in such a manner as to demean/ debase what I had tried to put out too the group that day. This is very typical Rappite process to when one can not address or even want to address an issue is to attack the Messenger. The issue that was being played down/ covered up was the impending return to the $4.05 PD Fee that you all know has now happened effective with November Utility Bills.
While it was touted that the reduction had for decades been illegal, I am still of the thought that it was also more the need to correct the decades long falsification of State Auditor Budgets as the money in the line 351 was to be only from the collections of monies each month from the Residents/ Businesses of the City? City was NOT getting the $215K/ Year they were reporting to the State. It was probably short most of the year's it was in effect? 'nuff said'.
