Can You Spell "Favorites"? Water & Politics

The Lillis family had a storm water management report prepared especially for them after their neighbor built a new house. George Lovelace and Maud Robinson made sure that the Town spent $10,000+ on this report under the guise that they were protecting themselves from a Lillis lawsuit. That's baloney. This very expensive report was prepared as a "political get back" against this homeowner who happened to be Lillis' neighbor. Why do this? It was a nasty tactic employed by George Lovelace, Maud Robinson and Laurie Cole after losing a big 4-3 vote. These three losing Council members wanted to mete out punitive financial sanctions against Lillis' neighbor in the form of a "delay". Nice people eh? What does the report say? Read it here (PDF). When was the last time the Town of Vienna commissioned an engineering firm such as Whitman, Requardt and Associates to study your property? When you have the "power" we guess you can spend taxpayers' dollars any ole way you want.
