Posted the following and somehow it managed to disappear? Not sure what I did, but will attempt to get it in again?
Is a lot of ado about Hobby Lobby opening a store here in midsummer. I was speaking to a pretty knowledgeable person Friday who does not think they will do well as this is not a good customer base for their product lines?
Noted that his wife was very surprised when I posted the following on the 11 of December 2018. Thought I was pretty connected to get that info so far in advance of the release the other day? In Truth, I do not think I am so "connected". It is more of listening to people and their saying okay to release the information. Some of you folks have Trust in me. I thank each and everyone of you for that Trust.
I will take a lap for reporting what I did, but that is all I did- report a possible tidbit that was True?
"About two weeks ago, someone told me that Hobby Lobby is going to go into part of the K-mart location some time in the future. They are as you probably know, a very religiously oriented company and took Obamacare to Court over the mandatory birth control requirements and WON. Gotta love those people...……….
However, I did ask myself why a company with their convictions would want to set up shop here in Vienna? Does not seem a good fit on the surface considering our Socialist leaning Governance"?
In the "Our Opinion" column of the Daily Blat's on the 19th, it was all about CORRUPTION. Very interesting in that the last two or three sentences read "How many other people in public positions are rotten to the core- and have not been caught yet? The effort to root them out must continue". It was all about the Teays Valley VFD and the embezzlement of its funds.
Yet, here is an extract from a letter to the Editor dated 12 December 2018, "It is my thought, that the present Prosecuting Attorney- Pat Lefebure, and the past one- Jason Wharton, who is now a sitting Judge on the Wood County Circuit Court did, be it accidently or intentionally appear to have tainted, compromised, conflicted the ability of the Wood County Prosecutor's Office to take Legal Action as may have been or is proper versus the City of Vienna or ANYONE connected to it? That allegedly because it has been allowed for an ADA, one Russell Skogstad to act in the position of City Attorney for the City of Vienna? This of course would severely limit if not outright disqualify the Wood County Prosecutor's Office from involving itself in any Legal Action with any City Employee or Vienna Utility Board (VUB), Employee (Mr. Skogstad is also the Legal Attorney for the VUB). This of course would include all Elected/Appointed and probably paid or unpaid members of any of the Commissions, Boards, Funds or other body so designated as a City/ VUB functioning Group. This should also be noted to include the City Planning Commission, the (City), Police Civil Service Commission, etal., that are alleged to be "stand alone" in their functions, but do in fact seem to receive direct or back channel information"?
"In spite of repeated efforts to have the past/ current Judges stand aside, they have one and all refused to do so. In one case, the Judge had to be required by the WVSC to submit the paperwork on why he should not be recused/ disqualified"?
CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT: CANON 2
RULE 2.11 Disqualification
(A) A judge shall not convey or permit others to convey the impression that any person or organization is in a position to influence the judge". Anyone see anything above that could/ would create a potential issue for a Judge to say the least?
You did not see that letter get published and won't, except here as an extract. I had a very similar but complete posting in my Blog of the 12th. There were some differences between the Letter to the Editor and my blog, but the ideas were quite similar in content.
The above referenced embezzlement cases were in Federal Court, not any State Court. The Blat has no problem pointing out issues anywhere but here, especially Vienna as it continues what is a seemingly never ending cover up on anything up here? I am not very smart and will be the first one to admit it, but can readily see/ read the very potential issues? Having lived the life in the Circuit Court here, I have experienced as I have said many times the behavior of Judges/ Attorneys as Laws are rewritten, unbelievable lies are told and said to be Legal in a Court of Law?
May I question how the efforts to "root them out can succeed", when it must go to a Federal Court for any type of Justice? When it seems to be impossible to get the DAs office to stand up and step out? When a Police Officer KNOWS what is going on and hides under his desk to try and not hear/ see? Lots of luck folks with the corruption in Vienna and Wood County.
Yet, the same folks keep getting re-elected over and over while doing the same things?
Tis a strange land we live in? 'nuff said'.
