This is something from my Monday Posting (21st). The scent of a cover up apparently has wafted yet again over Vienna as another alleged investigation that may come too naught?
"I won't say how, but am getting the first whiffs that a cover-up may be in the making for the issues here in the VUB at the State Level. This is one time I really, really want to be wrong. The folks on 60th and even 29th Street deserve a situation where they do not feel threatened for their jobs just because of an incident out of someone's home or job abuse? In fact not even if they don't like who they work for as long as they are really doing their jobs? I will have a much better idea by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest"? UPDATE: Mr. Metz was said to be at 29th Street with Mr. Rapp at about 9:30 A.M. Tuesday. It was also advised to me that his wife had posted on Facebook "Have a nice day at work".
So as noted above, the worst from the State as with all Government Branches seems to have come true again. "It was stated by some that Mr. Metz would be back to work on Tuesday Morning"? I didn't know as I posted the above if he was or not, but the chance the story is correct can not be disallowed with no question?
The above is now known to be "fake news" as the Progressives are well known for, be they what is supposed to be a legitimate source, or the local Vienna PR Rag. Remember the definition of Yellow Journalism I presented some months back: "the use of cheaply sensational or unscrupulous methods in newspapers, etc. to attract or influence readers". I would emphasize the term here of "etc" versus newspapers that are well known for local bias.
It if is true, it shows that yet again my allegations on there being no Law in West Virginia is a strong, strong probability? If one is Elected/ Appointed or paid/ unpaid, the System will circle around one accused of wrongdoing. The only exception are when as was the case in Vienna, a Managerial type versus the rank and file. Rank and file would loose by default. Being Friday, who knows what will drop by 4:00 P.M.?
Monday, I was told that when the State Police did an investigation it was above reproach? I did not believe it than and do not as I post this? However, it is possible that there is more to the story than what is out so far. The person putting out the story was already spinning the situation as one of rumors and gossip. I.E., protect Mr. Rapp and crew as has been done for over a year. As in most things, Time will out the Truth"?
There was some conversation Thursday (24th), on why Mr. Metz was really at 29th St. It was said he was going over the 2019- 2020 Budget which would be for the Street Department. And as has been noted before, no one could say where he was after about 11:30 A.M. on Monday. And no one seems to know same as I post this on Friday? I noted the meeting may have been on setting up his departure from the City/ VUB. Someone commented last night that he may be going to "Retire", not be fired, resign, etc. True, that would be logical and he could cash out his Pension and go do whatever with no black mark on his record. This is standard Government where someone gets on the wrong side of an issue and is allowed for previous services rendered to leave and take their secrets with them? But the person wasn't sure on that so I noted that even if there is a legitimate investigation going on and he was found innocent, he has lost the confidence/ trust of the VUB Staff. Could he gain it back, I don't know? It has been said that 90%+ are very unhappy with him? That is one helluva mountain to climb. So win, lose or draw, he should/ would go to give the Department a chance for a new start? And would save Mr. Rapp the problem with throwing him under the bus if he were found to be in the wrong?
The doo woo bop gang is trying to do a full court press to protect themselves and to distract from the issues they have created with the misinformation, misdirection, deceit, deception and as the opportunities present to lie?
Several have come out from under their rocks to strike and crawl back under into their hiding places. One that I was very, very suspicious of has proved herself to be a not very quick moving Progressive and got caught albeit with not a single open word to others. Instead, came to me to complain about problems with Mr. Metz/ Mr. Rapp going back for some years on Sewer drainage issues. I have said over and over that I watch and listen to people. Even those here who are absolute disgraces too the Community are interesting as they spin their webs of lies.
One thing that I believe is becoming very, very obvious is that the Rappites are preparing for his alleged departure from Vienna in 2021. A full schedule of Candidates is pretty much put together for the November 2020 Election. There is some give of course depending on which if any of the incumbents decides to not run again? My suggestion to you folks that might want to retake control of Vienna Governance is to also begin lining up people who are interested in more than what they can get out of the Taxpayers/ City versus put into it with Integrity, Morals and Ethics. If you wait till the end of this year, you are going to lose.
One knows when one is getting close on some things, when they start getting a bit rabid?
The current mentality has no interest in lowering your Taxes, reducing the expansion of City Staff or reducing City expenditures. 'nuff said'.
