I must have been a good guy, was allowed out in the back yard with both the cell phone and the two pieces of paper to look at the eclipse. Wife says the paper is better than the phone.
And yet again, another sink hole apparently at the intersection of 9th St. and 13th Ave. plus well up into a yard? Not sure how it was found, but apparently a bunch of work coming up very soon. While all these being found are a good thing, the fact we have and are having so many is an indication of how neglected the infrastructure has been over the past years. Mr. Nohe is part and parcel of the problems, but the main one to blame is Mr. Rapp. Why you ask? Simple, millions and millions of dollars spent and piled up over the past 4 1/2 years but little or nothing on the Water/ Sewer Systems, the lack of repair on the Streets and the total, yes absolute total lack of Public Safety improvements. If it is not big and shiny in the Sun, Mr. Rapp and his Progressive Liberal Council is not interested.
A prudent person might question but what it is far past time to devote some of the millions into efforts for the City of Vienna Residents/ Business Owners as a WHOLE. Not just to go for a project/ scheme for votes, donations, gifts, contributions, loans and possibly even the nice fat envelopes too and from organizations/ businesses? It has been told too me per some of you folks that have lived here for decades on how corrupt Vienna has been known to be and still is today. I can say some on this, because of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), requests over the past few years on how contracts have been let that are in violation of the very Bid Packets that were put out on what was required to legally get a bid.
It would not be out of line to suggest that maybe the Governance of Vienna come back to the City as a WHOLE and not just who is kissing what? If one does NOT live in Vienna, just the owning of a business does not give it/ them the right to control the direction of the City.
So many of you allow a very few to run what should be a much better City for the Residents/ Voters/ Taxpayers first that LIVE HERE. After that of course we have an obligation to those who own Businesses/ Properties here in equal support, but NOT more say than we, who live here day by day. Sadly, in some instances now that is not quite how it works?
I am all in on Mr. Johnson being what I will call the "West Virginia Drug Czar". Can only hope that once we get past the hype, he can make and do some of the tough decisions that are going to be necessary to pull us off of the most bad lists onto some of the good things are happening lists? Many of the things he needs to do are not going to need more money as much as the stones to get the Judiciary to give long hard LEGAL sentences to the Distributors of the Drugs. To insure we pursue ANYONE who gives drugs to another that result in a fatality and to even take a look at how the Narcon is used for over doses? A State Policy on how a first responder deals with potential overdoses to insure he/ she does not end up a victim also? These will not be easy processes, but don't require money as much as the will to implement. Once that is began, than maybe we have to look more at money, but in usable amounts not just throwing against the walls to see what will stick?
Was very interesting to see where the talking heads on TV and more so the Daily Blat are now talking more about how we are in our second Civil War. It is correct and how soon we have the totally unnecessary murder and mayhem large scale is a matter of time. Cannot actually see massive army's crisscrossing the Country, but more what we have now with huge rallies that get out of hand. And of course Mr. Washington is beginning to come under attack. Is said he had over 200 Slaves when he died? Yet, he did so much to start this Country and lead it down the beginnings of what became the most powerful economically and militarily ever.
I was asked Monday about what it would take to help the young begin to understand our History and what has really happened over the past 250 years? Said it would require a major change in Curriculum in the Schools. But, was said that Common Core had been removed? I said yes, but still need to teach the Truth and that is not going to happen any time soon. But, was said that Curriculums were being returned to the States? Yes, I said, but when you have the Liberals in the Schools deciding which books would be used, we would continue to teach the white washed, sanitized pap and crap being taught now. We have raised two to three generations of people who have become Teachers and every level that are not into the Truth of our History but as we see now in the streets, the re-writing/ re-teaching of it.
That is the Fascist/ Socialist/ Communistic System slowly but surely grinding us down now. Do we have the will to go back to Center in our Politics or continue hard left? 'nuff said'.
