Gloucester, VA To Get Illegal Middle School? What To Expect - Part 4

Part 4 in our series asking the question; is Gloucester, Virginia going to get a potentially illegal middle school?  



  As we understand it, it is not the state's job to monitor every little aspect of law and or code at the local level of every locality.  The state depends highly on the people to report potential waste, fraud and or abuse and then the state investigates if the argument has merit.  We believe that we have already shown merit to warrant a state investigation should the Board of Supervisors vote and approve the new bond as it presently stands.

  From what we see, Gloucester officials have created implied contracts so strong as to potentially warrant violations to state codes.

  The above is an internal link to part one of this story where we explore a number of the issues we see.  In our opinion and looking at all the facts, we believe that the Board of Supervisors will be pushing this plan through no matter what the citizens of the county say.  We expect a vote of at least 5 to 2 on approval if not a full swing across the board 7 out of 7 approval.

  Even if you show up and voice very strong concerns, what can you expect?  The board will thank you for your input when you are done speaking and tell you that they will take it under advisement.  (In other words, yeah yeah, who cares attitude).  They will be very polite about it, but it's their vote that will tell you the truth of the matter.  As we said, we expect them to vote it though no matter what.  We have shown through their own documents that they have every intention of moving forward with this.

  The only way to stop it would be to request state investigations after they approve the bond.  File a waste, fraud and abuse report.  We encourage Gloucester government employees who have more knowledge about the inside workings to file these claims as well.  (Don't worry, you will be protected under whistleblower laws).

Here is the Hotline information.  It is available for download from our SlideShare site.  Click the bottom right hand corner icon to enlarge the PDF file for viewing.



The Blueprint in printable form for stopping this particular issue from going forward.  We all have to let the Board of Supervisors know what we think about how they are handling these plans and that they can each, be held personally liable and financially liable for making the wrong decisions.  It must be made clear that they had better make sure what they are doing will stand up against a state investigation.  We will be watching the Board of Supervisors on this.  Once the vote is in, if they approve the bond, we will start filing for a state investigation and suggest everyone else do so as well.

Now we are not attorney's and none of this is to be considered legal advice.  Only a competent attorney can legally advise you.  We are simply questioning everything we see, researching what we can and asking tough questions.  Please weigh your own actions appropriately.

The bond hearing meeting will be on Tuesday, August 6th, 2013 at the Gloucester County Courthouse in the historical courthouse circle.

Gloucester, VA To Get Illegal Middle School? Part 3




























On Friday, we posted pictures sent to us via email of Gloucester County employees using county vehicles to conduct personal business.  Seen above are new pictures sent to us today of yet another Gloucester County employee from another department once again, doing the same thing.  This time it is vehicle number 600 from Parks and Recreation.  These photos have been sent to us by two separate individuals.  One person was obviously inside while another was outside.  We are told that this took place at about 7:05 AM this morning.  Monday, July 29th, 2013.

  So what does this have to do with Gloucester potentially getting an illegal middle school?  Well the answer is both nothing and yet at the same time, everything.

  It shows us that Gloucester County officials have no control over their own employees and the waste employees are causing the taxpayers of Gloucester.  If officials can not even control their own employees, how can they possibly be expected to control 17 million dollars in Bond money?  It shows that Gloucester officials have no problems wasting tax dollars with no regard to taxpayers.

  It shows no regard to state laws, codes or policy.  When we reported on Twitching Ted, (I'm not an attorney), Wilmot, Gloucester County attorney found shopping during the middle of the day during business hours, it's clear that the problem starts at the top and employees are only following the example.  When does it end?

Gloucester, VA To Get Illegal Middle School? Part 2

From what we showed in yesterday's part one post, it looks to us like we are in the midst of a real conspiracy.  In our view we have been able to show intent, implied contracts, what Virginia Code states and what the final intentions of Gloucester officials really are despite what the citizenry wants.

http://www.gloucestercounty-va.com/2013/07/gloucester-va-to-get-illegal-middle.html  This is a link back to yesterday's story, part one, in case you may have missed it.

What we see is Gloucester officials going through the steps to try and keep everything looking legal and them telling everyone what they are doing is legal, but the evidence would seem to strongly suggest otherwise.  The selling of a bond has not even been approved yet to raise the money to construct a new school.  But Gloucester officials have already actively sought bids for the new construction.  According to Virginia state code, Gloucester officials can not place an order for work, even implied order which is what w see they have already done, without having the funds already in place.

  The Virginia codes are posted in part one of this story.  How many times have we shown on this site that Gloucester officials do not follow the rules?  How many times?


Oath of Office;


We gave everyone the tools to fight back from this holdup.  It's the Oath of Office that each government official must take before they are allowed to conduct even one piece of business.  If the Oath of Office is in violation, then each official can be held accountable for their actions outside of government protection.  That means any and all financial costs and responsibilities fall on each individual official and they must pay those costs and damages out of their own pockets and do not qualify for government protection in the courts.

This also means that all contracts are null and void and can not fall back on the citizens of Gloucester County, but instead fall on each Gloucester official involved.  In yesterday's post we linked one of Gloucester's own videos, a propaganda piece in our view, that shows that Gloucester officials are growing local government at a very alarming rate.  This of course means higher taxes for everyone to support this growth.  It also shows their own double speak.  Re constructing one school they said we do not need all the while building another one they say we need.

Every area of that says higher taxes for each Gloucester citizen and it also says you have no voice in your own government.  It states government by the people for the government and special interests and to hell with the people.

It's a violation of everything America stands for and is more of what America is becoming, but only if you let it.  Every fight is important when it's a fight for what American idealism truly stands for.




We have put the fight into a blue print form.  Now we know that the blue print form above is not one you would want to print out to use in a fight, so we have created a print version as well.



We have also created download links for both of these.

Now we are not attorney's and none of this should be considered legal advice, only a competent attorney can legally advice you on these matters.  We are simply presenting our own research and arguing against what we believe to be a conspiracy against the citizenry of Gloucester, Virginia.

What else can you do?  Show up at the public hearing on August 6th, 2013 at the Gloucester Courthouse and argue against the officials and their plans, armed with the right information.  You can also email all of the officials letting them know you are against this plan.
