Gloucester, VA County Employees Continue To Shop On Your Tax Dollars

Monday, May 12th, 2014, we saw this county government vehicle pull into the parking lot and the employee go into Dollar General at about 10:30 AM.  The employee was in the store for about 15 minutes.  Why are county employees going shopping when they are supposed to be working and again as we continue to point out, in violation of county employment policies no less.  If they had to buy supplies, for one, this is not the way the county should be spending money, they have catalogs where they can order whatever goods they need and spend less money and pay no taxes than buying from national retailers.  Which also brings up the next question, if they are buying supplies in this way, are they paying taxes using money we paid in taxes for them to waste like this adding extra burdens on us all?

  If this was personal shopping, why are we paying them to shop and drive all over the county to do so?  It does not look like this issue will ever be solved.  The county government thinks your pockets are so deep that they can spend all your money any way they see fit?  This after the Board of Supervisors spent a great deal of energy holding the line to prevent taxes from going up?  Something has to give and it may just be your wallet in the next round come 2015.

What the U.S. Can Learn From Britain’s Decline

 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Britain began its slow descent into oblivion in the late 19th century. Britain believed in the innate goodness of man which was its undoing. We examine the stages and mistakes culminating in the ultimate disappearance of the empire in 20 years from 1947 to 1967. Remarkable similarities accompany America’s own decline although, of course, it has never had an empire. Stock market comment du jour. Wal-Mart is feeling the pinch of reduced spending as are cut-price stores like Family Dollar and 99-cent Stores. How can they still talk up a ‘recovery’ with a straight face? More on the ‘real’ unemployment figures. The fate of incomes in this depression. The meaning of retirement in America. More and more people will be depending on social security to fund it.

Gloucester, VA Government Employees Happy Meal, Literally

This is a picture from behind McDonald's up at the courthouse area in Gloucester, Virginia on Monday morning, 8:20 AM September 16th, 2013.

This is a picture of yet another Gloucester, County Government vehicle parked at McDonald's at 8:20 AM Monday morning.  Numerous occupants inside having breakfast, most likely on the payroll clock, at your expense, using a county vehicle for personal use yet again.  Well maybe this picture is a little hard to tell that the white truck is actually a county vehicle.

This is a closeup of that vehicle.  Public Utilities truck number 20.  Guess they were inside having happy meals?  Was this the only vehicle seen at McDonald's or anywhere else today?  Heck no.  I saw two other county vehicles come out of McDonald's before I took out the camera today.  I saw another county vehicle at 7-11 before taking out the camera today.  I saw a brand new Van, unmarked, State government tags, full size, silver, at Dollar General today at about 10:000 AM.  The occupant, a female, was shopping  on payroll time.

Over the past several months, I have been posting pictures and information sent to one of our email accounts about this kind of abuse going on in the county.  I wanted to see it myself.  Sure enough, it is everywhere.  Nothing has been done to stop this despite the fact we have shown county and state codes that forbid this kind of abuse.

  All that is left at this point is to file and request an investigation into the county for waste, fraud and abuse.  The person ultimately responsible should be fired for cause.  I am going to file for those investigations to take place as soon as possible.  I will testify myself to what I have seen and all the evidence I have collected.  This is your tax dollars being wasted by a county who keeps playing shell games to raise your taxes even further, writes ordinances to abuse county residents in our opinion, and can not follow their own ordinances or state codes but still want you to and will prosecute you at the drop of a hat.

  Exactly how is this fair?   County officials continue to show they are criminals with no regard for the law.  (We are using their own terms against them as this is what they have told numerous people whom they have filed charges, using county ordinances, against area residents that were not in accordance with state code and managed to get full prosecutions against them).  A rigged court system, again in our opinion.
