"Oh and this is just the tip of the ice berg. Watch them as they all drive "slowly" back to the office at lunch time to take their "full" lunch break then return to where it is they are working.


Has anyone been watching grounds?There's a guy that drives around in a huge gas guzzler truck. Why?"

Our Comments;  Gas guzzler truck, why does a county employee drive around in one of those?  Simple, it's not their money they are wasting, it's ours.  So who cares?  We all should.  Get pictures and share them with us.  The only way to stop these abuses is to show them.  It's our money, not theirs.  It's our duty to catch them and have this nonsense stopped.  County officials are out of control at every level and they need to be held accountable.  Go to our contact us section,  There you can send emails to us with those pictures.  Together we can make a difference.  We need everyone's help to stop the pure waste of our money and the continuing tramping on of our rights and freedoms.  These are the same people who have no concern about violating their own ordinances.  They are criminals with no regard for the law, in our view, unless it violates your rights and your pocket.  You can't afford to drive a gas guzzler because you have to pay for them to do it for you instead.

Thank you for the comment.

Gloucester, Virginia Officials Need A State Investigation

Gloucester County government vehicle number 231, at Hardee's today at 7:41 AM.  Once again, this is a school board vehicle.  This employee may have gotten the memo about using a county government vehicle for personal use is a violation of Virginia State code so you do not want to be caught at the drive through window at Hardee's?  Way around that?  Park the vehicle outside and walk in and have breakfast instead?  More time on the clock at taxpayer expenses?

  

All this the day before Gloucester officials are going to tell you that they have to have 17 million for a new school that the county must have while renovating another school down the street they closed because they said it is not needed.  We can not see any reason to believe them.  How many times to we need to keep showing this over and over with all new employees and all new vehicles.  It's non stop.  In the picture above, you can actually see the Hardee's sign reflection in the vehicle.

  Maybe officials need to investigate if there is something so addictive in Hardee's food that county employees can not keep away from it.  What's even worse, these are school vehicles.  What is it saying about the quality of education?  Junk food is not a good choice day in and day out.  Another reason why American's are so fat?  Will a Hardee's be included in the new school that we simply do not need?  What message are Gloucester officials sending to everyone here in the county?  We do not care about the stinking state laws, we make our own?

Waste, Fraud and Abuse - Virginia Codes from Chuck Thompson

We don't make the state laws or codes.  We are not even trying to interpret them.  We are showing them here though.  Beyond ridiculous.  Click on the icon in the bottom right hand corner to read the state codes better.  This will open the document into full screen.  

  Now we are sending this to county officials, as well as delegate Keith Hodges and several people at the local paper.  The question we have for the paper, we have been reporting on these abuses for weeks now and not one single reporter has bothered to check on the facts themselves.  We have a serious case of massive waste and abuse going on but it's not news?  Aunt Margaret planting bulbs is news?  It's tabloid fluff.
