Laurie Cole Can't Get Vienna Power Lines Underground, But She Knows Train Tunnels?

It was reported recently that the Vienna Town Council:

"...approved a motion supporting TysonsTunnel.org's proposal that the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project build a large-bore tunnel under Tysons Corner instead of elevated lines, as planned. The resolution also calls for competitive bidding for the project's construction."

Huh? A tunnel may or may not be the right move for Tysons Corner, but why does a view from the Vienna Town Council mean anything? The Vienna Town Council can't even get their power lines on 123/Maple Avenue underground, but now they are train 'tunneling' experts? It did not stop there as Vienna's most profitable Town Council member Laurie Cole chimed in:

"Council member Laurie Cole said one section of the planned elevated lines would rise 65 feet to cross over Interstate 495 near Tysons Corner's two largest shopping malls. “I think that will be a pretty imposing aspect of our skyline,” she said."

Stop and think about that comment from Cole for a second. Laurie Cole has no record of achievement on ANYTHING when it comes to Vienna public works projects nor does she have any record of assisting in the redevelopment of our antiquated business areas. She has done NOTHING in Vienna except figure out ways to make herself personally wealthy through cozy relationships with developers while occasionally showing up at Council meetings wearing outfits resembling pajamas. But now all of a sudden she knows what is best for Tysons Corner's business district which just so happens to be OUTSIDE Vienna's border? On the ball fields Cole's comments would be called p***ing in the wind.


Power lines, tunnels, who cares. Just show me the money!

Stop the attacks on Laurie. She needed the money and Bukont stepped up to the plate. The fact that she wears pajamas at Council meetings is a smoke screen and you know it!
