Conversation with Vienna Times

Light Bulb Moments Often Happen Unexpectedly

Last night after the public hearing to determine whether yet another property should be let out of the historic district, a long conversation with Vienna Times reporter Jerry Schanke took place. Schanke was convinced that the property in question must have some secret development plan in mind. He was convinced that the debate was all about money. After 30 minutes of explanation he finally had a light bulb moment. He understood that the Vienna historic district was all about the stealing of property rights and corrupt governmental actions. He finally saw the debate as one of principle.

Sadly, many on Vienna Town Council do not have principles. Many, like Laurie Cole, work under the assumption that the electorate is not intelligent enough to understand the behind the scenes machinations and manipulations. However, there will come a day when those on the Council causing these problems will have to raise their right hands under deposition. At that moment everyone in Vienna will know how extensively they wasted our time and money. Under deposition, they will not be able to parse, spin or outright lie without facing perjury charges.
