Maud Robinson: "Just Say No!"

Here are some concrete public works projects that Maud Robinson has either screwed up or stopped cold turkey. This was all done with her famous "Just Say No" political philosophy:
1. Maud stopped the funding of a new Post Office in Vienna at the same location.
2. Maud turned away County money that would have taken the Vienna Library out of the Stone Age.
3. Maud is responsible for all of the new banks popping up on every square inch of Vienna real estate.
4. Maud makes sure that power lines on Maple Avenue do not go underground.
5. Maud is responsible for absolutely no public parking garages in Vienna.
6. Maud blocked the bypass around down town Vienna.
Why does Robinson not work on these issues? She is TOO busy with the REAL important stuff as evidenced from this excerpt from the last Town Council work session (from Sun Gazette paper):
Council member Maud Robinson said portable containers are basically boxes that lack shingled roofs and other features that make sheds attractive by comparison. “They don't have the aesthetics of a shed,” she said. “There are no architectural elements. A POD is a POD is a POD. There's no visual attractiveness to them.”
Ladies and gentlemen, that is Maud Robinson's brain hard at work! Do we laugh or cry?
Bottom line: if you like political leaders who take money away from struggling low income families to plant flowers or if you like leaders who take charge to fight the supposed POD problem, Robinson is your woman.

PODS are the #1 problem facing Vienna. All you people here just gripe, but you don't know how bad PODS really are.

I'm still all for discussing opening up Abbottsford between Lawyers & Beulah up to Route 7. Does anyone know how nice life would be if that was a real possibility. Maple Avenue & Vienna wouldn't shut down for 4 hours a day just for commuters.

Anybody got a flooded basement or backyard today? Thank Maud.

I agree with vienna mommy that we should discuss extending Abbotsford. While we are at it, how about extending Clarks Crossing? Both projects would alleviate congestion along 123.

A POD? No architectural significance-am I in a bad B rated movie here? Does she even know what a POD is? Does she know what a computer is? Does she know what the Internet is?
