They Will Say Anything
The Vienna Town Council passed a resolution on November 5, 1979 that stated:
"WHEREAS: There exists in the Town of Vienna a structure known as Moorefield House which was constructed in the late eighteenth century and originally served as the home residence of Jeremiah Moore, a Baptist Minister who risked his personal freedom and fortune to secure the principle of religious freedom in Virginia and in the United States, and WHEREAS: The Moorefield house has been designated by the Virginia historic landmarks Commission as a historic landmark, but is in a state of advanced disrepair and deterioration, and WHEREAS: the Town Council of the Town of Vienna, Virginia (Town Council), recognizing the historic significance of Moorefield, did on September 15, 1979 hold a public hearing to obtain public comment on the question of whether the Town of Vienna should or should not undertake the reconstruction and restoration of the Moorefield House, and WHEREAS: A substantial majority of persons who appeared at the hearing of September 15, 1979, including representatives of residents living in the Moorefield neighborhood, and Centreville district Supervisor, Martha V. Pennino, indicated strong support for restoration of the property, for use as an archaeological interpretative center. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the Town Council finds it appropriate and desirable that restoration of the Moorefield House for use as an archaeological interpretative center, or other closely similar function, be undertaken as promptly as possible, but expresses concern that the Town is not in a position to fund any major portion of the cost of restoration from existing financial resources, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Town manager is, therefore, requested to investigate and report back to the council on what sources of funds may be available for funding the proposed restoration, including Federal, State, County and private sources and whether it is possible to schedule for public advisory referendum the question of Town of Vienna participation in such funding, and if an advisory referendum be impermissible, then what procedures are necessary to schedule a binding referendum on whether the Town of Vienna should issue bonds to fund its share of the restoration cost."
When it comes to historical politics, Vienna leaders will do and say anything at any time, but they never take action. Sure, we have proved time and time again that these people are frauds, but that doesn't mean we will stop adding details to our case any time soon. Corruption must be rooted out.
Comments
If you want to end corruption and build a better future for Vienna, and not just stay the course of corruption, Maud must go.
She's been in the thick of things for too long, and she doesn't have a clue as to what will make Vienna vibrant and not just another Seven Corners.
I have had enough of her bully tactics. She's antiquated and the fact remains that she is not at all interested in helping small businesses stay alive in Vienna, and she doesn't have a clue how to entice the type of businesses we would like to see in Vienna. In fact, her contrary actions have resulted in a total lack of vision for Vienna, and few if any business owners have any incentive or ability to improve or re-invest in their properties,
