Town Newsletter Outlines The Incompetence
Every month the Vienna Town Newsletter has a feature called "This Month in History". Consider these two entries from the December 2006 issue outlining Vienna's past achievements:
DECEMBER 1976 - With the opening of the new Post Office came traffic prob- lems at Lawyers Road and Church Street. An inadequate number of parking spaces and narrow entrances have complicated the flow of traffic for frustrated postal patrons. The current customer parking lot has only 15 spaces for a facility that serves an area of 22.44 square miles with an estimated population of approximately 58,000 people. The Town has suggested several solutions to ease the situation, including providing an additional exit route to the rear of the Post Office.
DECEMBER 1966 - As many regular listeners of WEEL radio already know, a twice-weekly news program covering Town government activities has in recent weeks been broadcast from various points in the Vienna business area. It is an informal interview with members of the Town staff each Tuesday and Thursday, and questions from Vienna residents about their Town government are invited.
In 1976 we knew there were problems with the Post Office. What did Vienna do in the next 30 years? Nothing. In 1966 we had some form of open government with broadcasts. Today after 40 years of "progress" what do we have? Secret and closed government that aims to ban video. Long live Boss Maud Robinson!

Borat should have visited Maud. There could have been PLENTY of material for the movie.

Thanks to Chairman Rich Denbow for helping Maud keep the Post Office intersection the most dangerous in Town. Everyone may not know that Maud is directly responsible for the problem. She lobbied then Congressman Joel Broyhill to put the Post Office in its present location (moved from the location on Church Street where the current Great Harvest Bread store sits).
Rich keep up the good work! Maybe one day you can be anointed or appointed to Town Council. You and your children will then be able to look back on your fine achievement!
