Was talking to someone today who is pretty astute on what is going on here in Olde Vienna. The Attorney advertisements that Mr. Leach the Elder is running on being an Attorney are too a degree expected and would in a non-election period be no big deal.
But again, still he is showing his young name sake the Younger walking down stairs with him and than sitting in a chair reading a book I guess in his office? It was noted that it seems like the Elder is picking the lad up at school, taking him to his office and sitting him in a chair until it is time to????????????????????????
In 2016 after every few Attorney Ads, one would see what was a real political ad for the Elder alone or with the Younger. Not seeing much of that this year? Seems the lad is not running many or any political ads at all as in 2016? Has he already given up on getting elected or is he just riding the Elder's coat tails? Or maybe saving his dollars for a two week extravaganza at the end?
The person I noted I was speaking with higher up in the posting asked if if Mr. Leach the Elder would give up his Council seat if elected to the Senate? The consensus is no as he is too well connected to Mr. Rapp's *** to let it go on alone with the JM site? Resume has a lot of room yet for "look at what I/We did with that site"?
Think I mentioned a week or so back that some one very high up in Wood County Politics told me there were some funny things that went on with the Voting in 2016. I looked at the person and asked if he was being facetious? Person said no, they really happened. Took two years for it to start coming out, but it seems it is little by little? As I have said, "The Truth will usually be outed by Time". So all I can say is that I hope those running and wanting to win, are watching those voting machines in the City Building?
Still a lot of hate and discontent with how the Hearing went last Wednesday night. Seems little doubt it was a dog and pony show with a 12 minute well prepared Election Film followed by a well prepared disaster for what remained of the Hearing?
Think there is going to be Hell to pay Thursday at the Council Meeting. You see there is the "intent" of a Law and just paying lip service to the "spirit" of the Law.
Am going to do something I don't get a chance to do very often albeit with some caveats at the same time. This was also brought up while I was talking with the person earlier.
The "Atta Girl" is for the comments that Ms. Powell made as she talked about "calling" one Mr. Meeks at WVDEP who she said was in charge of overseeing the Browns Field Projects. Her comments were interesting to say the least.
The parts where she said she would not send in any questions she might have had, but than stated she did not as she already had her answers. Once again, we end up with nothing in writing just the infamous telephone call(s)? This might be well and good if it were just a people talking about the last Sunday Supper, but when on is dealing with ANY Government Entity, and it all verbal the next problem is the Government Person saying they did not say something or remember something that was to happen, etc. This is a very common ploy with that type of functionary. "I did not say that" or " I don't remember that"?
It was stated that you should write letters but she is not going too.
And again she put out her campaign request to come to Council Meetings. This I suspect to get people to join The Group? Many of The Group no longer even attend the Meetings?
But to get back to my main point, it was a reasonably well put together writing even if it followed the "don't do as I do, do as I say" routine.
The person I was speaking too commented that if one trying to accomplish something, they need to be upfront and out in the open. Speak to people so they know what it really is that you are doing?
Could not disagree with that as we have too many people talking out of both sides of their mouths now. Just depends on who they are talking too on what the position is at the moment?
Got blind sided this afternoon (Monday), I went into the City Building to pick up some documents and expected a "here they are, don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out" as has been practiced for some time. Instead I find out I am expected to sort through more than 700 pages for whatever it is I am asking for? Could not even start as I did not have my reading glasses with me. No problem, I will as I do, get it done.
Last big document FOIA, there was a big brouhaha on what was just piled on me. Plus a bunch of other issues I will not go into now. This time it seems they will do the right way and allow me to review and choose what I want as the FOIA Law clearly states. 'nuff said'.
