"First off, that's not a raise by the DMV, that's highway robbery. I'm getting so sick of the state of W.Va. & the stupid people that wont clean things up & stop voting in people that are corrupt. The whole country wised up when they put Donald Trump in for president, now if the people of W.Va. & our cities would wise up. Secondly, I don't want to give Vienna anymore of my money, so seriously thinking of moving. Ive lived here 21 yrs, was never any problem. Cops weren't called on us, my 3 kids were never a problem. Ive tried to do right, but there are not so nice people that don't have anything better to do then cause problems & Ive had my share, no!! more than my share recently & when they can get city officials to go along with them, well its time to take my, soon to be, new found wealth where it will be appreciated. Youd think they would wonder why theyd never heard of me until a new neighbor moved in 2 yrs ago that started barking a lot with calls, emails, threatened to sue the city & I was recently told this person lived elsewhere in Vienna & the cops were being called all the time to their house. Yes only hear say but maybe that's why they moved from there to here & they have done things without permits & against code but the mayor chooses to ignore them & also another neighbor of mine that just happens to work for the city, HUUUUMMMMM????"
Could this be the tip of the iceberg on why there are so many homes for sale now in Vienna? I suspected before it could have been people voting with their feet? The problems is that for every decent family that leaves, we might get another like she is suffering with?
Would be better if you folks stayed HERE and voted; clean up the Corruption that has gone on for years/ decades and put the sleazy, slimy, sneaky lowlifes back on the streets and out of our lives under the guise of Government.
I have thought some more on what one may call "bullying". I spoke with several ladies now in the past months who have or are concerned on what their so called neighbors would say or do to them if they were to quick to pursue what in a mature, civilized Society are or were called a person's Rights? Even spoke with a Man who noted writing a letter to the media years back in the time of the City Council before Mr. Nohe was allegedly on it. He says got a call from the Councilman in question threatening to sue him. Now that for sure seems to indicate a footpath of intimidation/ bullying by the City Government when one is exposed going back for decades here? The person told me that his response to the Councilman was "get your Attorney". Says never heard another word.
Shows to me that the City Government for quite some time does not believe in what is called "Freedom of Speech", in again more mature/ civilized parts of the Country. As I have noted before, when ANY Elected/ Appointed Official be they paid/ unpaid, oversteps their limits and proceeds to violate any Law/ Ordinance or Right of the Citizenry, they are nothing but THUGS with a badge. And for those of you who forgot who are reading for the first time here, that is the "Badge of Authority" that comes with the position that one holds in Government at what ever Level it may be.
The more I listen to the folks and hear on how poorly they are treated even by the Elitist's People who live around them and bully them for having a mind and a set of Morals, Ethics and Integrity, the more disgusted I become.
When I think as I do too often of those who served, were wounded and died so that the stay at homes could prosper at their expense to include using the Dead and their Families as Political Tools, I am incensed.
When I hear those whose imaginary Patriotism is based on the service of their Relatives and not a day of their own time, I am furious. Yes, be proud of your Relatives if they did no more than sit at Fort Dix and peeled spuds for two years as a Draftee. They had the stones to stand up and step out. To leave their comfortable homes, families, jobs, maybe even a break in their College because they could not get another or any deferment? They served and God Bless everyone of them and God Bless the Families of those who's loved ones passed in that Service.
I am fully aware that there are those who for very legitimate reasons could not serve in the Military and may have not gotten into another program to do some good outside of here. In fact it is possible that this area is one of the most needy in the Nation?
For the naysayers, the bully's slinking around in the alleys and wine clubs, along with the gutless and the cowards, you are encouraged to kiss my derriere' and that of every decent person who has the pleasure when possible to enjoy living in this fine Community. 'nuff said'.
