Predictable, really

PS in a convincing attempt to establish that it is completely false and defamatory to allege that she is in the habit of threatening people with legal action or engaging in bullying towards those who disagree with her, Ms. Madison has sent Realloudoun the following communication:

It appears that you are the registrant for REALLOUDOUN.COM which contains information about me that is materially false.  I am requesting that you remove such and any posting as they are defamatory.  Should the content and references to me not be removed within 48 hours, I will have no choice but to pursue civil action.

Thank you for your immediate cooperation and attention to this serious matter.

Milari Madison

The “it was merely stupidity” defense

In our last episode, very politically ambitious Loudoun supervisor Ken “Ken” Reid (R-Leesburg) had nominated to the local Historic District Review Committee a woman who has filed numerous petitions and legal actions (all dismissed or rejected by the courts and by local, state, and federal agencies and boards) seeking to abolish the historic district designations for the village of Waterford, Virginia. In other words, undermining the very work the HDRC is charged by law to carry out.

The obvious interpretation was that this was a crude attempt by “Ken” to curry favor with the so-called “property rights” crowd in the Loudoun County Republican Party — a convenient alliance between the Tea Party types who hate government and the developers who hate having to do things like respect history, water quality, the environment, or other peoples’ rights.

Ken can count to three (but not beyond)

Poor publicity-starved Loudoun Supervisor “Ken” Reid (R-Leesburg), who has been known to trample small children and little old ladies racing across the room to buttonhole a newspaper or television reporter, has certainly been offering his sage opinions in abundance to the local media lately.

Apparently operating on the old principle that any publicity is good publicity, he has not however been wasting effort thinking about what he’s actually saying. Continue reading →

No sprawl tax

The great accomplishment of Loudoun’s developer-run Republican Party has been to get the public to pay for their profits while disguising the fact in a cloud of populist anti-tax and property “rights” rhetoric.

With about three-quarters of the county budget going to schools, it’s no surprise that new houses mean higher taxes. Which was why the local GOP poohbahs would become apoplectic if anyone dared to point out the connection between the two. It was a brilliant con, actually: take the profits and pass the bill to the public. Continue reading →

It’s nice to have friends in office

No surprises here: it turns out that the remarkably named Mr. Magic “Dane” Kayhan of Purcellville — who filed a criminal complaint against a couple cleaning up his illegally posted trashy signs within the public right of way in front of his 871 East Main Street business, Total Fitness Outlet — was the no. 2 donor to Republican Janet Clarke’s election campaign last fall for county supervisor.

The scene of the crime

Total Fitness Outlet donated a total of $10,064 to the cause—apparently quite sufficient to purchase your very own local GOP gestapo to legally threaten, with arrest warrants and criminal charges of larceny and trespassing, anyone who crosses you.
