And isn't it so interesting that the Fire started on the West side of the Building. Our winds usually are from the South West or Westerly direction. This would naturally push the fire towards the East side of the Building. This smells (no pun intended), like possible Arson?
In another moment of stupidity on my part, I went to 29th St. on Tuesday to start reviewing and picking the copies of documents that I wanted in a requested Freedom of Information Act(FOIA). Now the one I went through on 60th St last week went as I had noted quite well and I was complimentary to Ms. Barr and the Staff who may have worked on it.
As the saying goes, "No good deed goes unpunished". Don't think I was very far into the picking and choosing stage on Tuesday, when Ms. Barr began a peculiar issue with me on what I had asked for in the FOIA? And than just a few minutes later Mr. Rapp of all people came down to the room and asked me what it was I wanted? Said would give me whatever? Had either of them read the FOIA the request for ALL documents from VUB, B&F and the Council should to a prudent person included the Minutes as should exist? Apparently not, I ended up with a verbal comment that I could have the Minutes but felt double teamed, attempted by Mr. Rapp to intimidate me and as usual the customary rudeness on his part.
Since I apparently am not using enough words of various sizes, my FOIAs are pretty tough too understand. It has only been since I moved to West Virginia have I found out that not only can I not read, understand, speak, but also not write clearly?
The Attorneys, Judges, Governmental Officials in the Philippines had no problem understanding what I wrote or said even if as here not necessarily in the correct format for a Legal Document to the Courts? But there as here in a Per Se position (self representing), since there are no Attorneys here who are willing to face a Government Entity, I was and should continue to be given some latitude on Formatting of Documents. That is even now open to debate in the latest Law Suit sitting in Wood County Circuit Court?
I have been considered over the decades to be fairly articulate and pretty much able to write an understandable sentence. Only here have I suddenly become Illiterate? I am going to suggest that it is only the Government Legal Entities that can not grasp spoken or written English if it goes contrary to the intended ending of an issue?
I have presented many posting since 5 September to just the other day on what has been going on with the issue of the Rate Increase for Water/ Sewer. These increases have been in the mill since 2013 in various conversations/ reviews between VUB/ the City and the Attorney down in Charleston. So once again it was cover up and hunker down for too long with too much wasted dollars to hide any longer.
The Meeting tonight will be a rubber stamped affair that is said to be a 4-3 vote? I am still not unwilling to bet on a 5-2, but with this caveat; Mr. Bibbee being up to his hamhocks in the shenanigans of approving several VUB and City Council Budgets over the past how many years is just as guilty as Mr. Rapp, Ms. Smith, Mr. Rogers and various other members of both the past VUB Boards and City Councils. So in Truth, why change now?
And as I said before, once a VUB Board member or a City Council member raises their hand to approve the VUB Budgets, they one and all own it. Voting no now is a bit late; the horse is out and running over every one of us with little or no real money to cover the alleged Malfeasance and lack of Fiduciary Liability/ Responsibility for the VUB monies for years.
So too all who will attend the meeting tonight, be prepared for a Salute from most if not all of the Council that should leave you madder than Hell at what has happened. 'nuff said'.
