Lacking Competence: George Creed

George Creed sits on the Town of Vienna Planning Commission. In 2003 he voted to not allow 5 properties to be removed from the historic district. In 2006 he voted against allowing 1 property out of the historic district. All Vienna citizens assume he has some basic competence to sit on that board and make those decisions. Right?

Seemingly unrelated to the historic district, Creed voted in March 2006 to allow a single property in Vienna to be subdivided into three parcels. Nothing unusual there, the majority voted for it. There was no opposition. Where is this property? It is three blocks outside the historic district near Louise Archer School. However, right when it seems something should be simple in Vienna, it gets stupid. Watch Creed's question at the end of this property sudivision meeting:

Why is Creed ruling on people's lives and their property rights when it comes to the historic district when it is clear he is not cognizant of the basics? He doesn't know the boundaries of the historic district, but regularly rules on boundary changes?! Some people have complained that this site is too hard on some people personally. That is nonsense. George Creed wants power over people's lives and loves sitting on the Planning Commission to exert that power. Pointing out that Creed may be incompetent or that he is a political crony is not personal. It is a political reality that needs to be rectified. And if you watched the faces of other members on the Planning Commission that night, it is clear many would agree with our sentiments.
