Public Corruption

From the papers:

[The Town Council voted to] renew the town's five-year lease with Historic Vienna Inc. to allow the non-profit group to operate and maintain the historic Freeman Store, the original Vienna Library building and the grounds at 131 Church St., N.E. The group will pay the town $1 in annual rent.

Said another way? Maud votes to allow her group of personal buddies (led by Laine Hyde) a free club house to play in. Is there any other local government that leases out millions of dollars of public assets for $1 a year with no outside competition? Is this behavior legal? When the history is written of Vienna politics Maud will go down as a dirty and corrupt public official.

At the same time that they are charging a $1 per year to Historic Vienna, they spent millions on the Town Green as a monument to themselves, and passed on the costs to the rest of us!
