Punch to the Historic Gut
A Verbal Punch to the Historic Gut
Watch video from December 6, 2005 Windover Heights Board of Review meeting:
Almost looks like someone was caught in a lie...
Even if you have not had a chance to wade through the extensive documentation on this site, the body language, facial expressions and deep sighs by the then Chairman of the Historic Review Board Steve Bukont speaks volumes. He knew he was in trouble. He knew he had messed up. He did not want to see and hear his own words played for him in a public forum. Do all the players in the historic district saga understand that there is a penalty for not telling the truth while under deposition?
What was the setup to that video?
1. On the clip above Chairman Bukont is asked bluntly what section of the code does he follow to make decisions. He states one answer, but then a tape of him is played that shows him saying something completely different.
2. The three videos here came after the clip above.
3. The video played in the above clip is here.
The take away from all of this has nothing to do with the historic district or the pending litigation. The take away, the reason why every Vienna citizen should be concerned, is that this behavior is normal for the Vienna Town government. This is standard operating procedure. Their frame of mind, their way of dealing with people and their concepts of right and wrong are that of playground bullies. Bullies usually have problems, however, when the light of day shines on them.
