    Snow has no in the clear statement from the FBI. If they are not interested in him at all, then they would not have been interested in the Oct. 2 incident that I shared with them. Others have recently spoken with the FBI about Mr. Snow. They also have received a quite damning letter from a large construction company that concerns Mr. Snow. If simply sending the FBI information on a supervisor means they are under investigation, as you allege with the John Nicholas BS on York, then that puts Snow in the same boat.

    Thanks for the welcome, Barbara. Have you had a chance to review that webcast yet?

    He has no written statement, which as far as I know no one will have until they make their final report. He has a verbal confirmation from the investigator on the case that they spoke to him as a witness only.

    Jeff, I'm glad you appear here under your own name, but you are still spouting "insider" innuendo. I'm sure the FBI looks at everything everyone gives them seriously, no matter who gives it to them.

    I did review the tape, and while there are noises off camera, after which you appear in the front row, it really can't be determined what any of the noise is. It may have been your self-described "dramatic entrance" or something else entirely.

    I would gather your hints here are what the posse has been hinting at since last summer at tooconcervative. You know my opinion of the echo chamber, but I will tell you that I doubt the way you guys play over there will be accepted here. This site has published rules, and admins who enforce them. In addition, it seems to be a standard recommendation for people to take it offline if they have a personal dispute. Perhaps Joy will step in to say again that the thread has been hijacked. We'll see.

    I find it very interesting that you have come here from Lovettsville to carry on the fight that obviously isn't getting the audience you need at tooconservative or the new spinoff site. GM has been doing his best, though.

    Jeff, I just hopped over to tc, and I see the new/no comment thread about a Republican candidate stealing signs is gone. I was looking forward to seeing the promised photographs.

    It is obvious from the public record that all supervisors were questioned as witnesses as part of the initial probe into the Islamic Saudi Academy transaction. It is also obvious from continued contacts with citizens with information that the investigation is wide ranging. I am sure that they are looking at any and all allegations that come their way. What is absolutely ludicrous is that Snow and others would try to say that they have been told they aren't under investigation. That is simply not the way it happens.

    As far as my dramatic entrance" I think Tammi played up the drama angle for the story. I still find it absolutely mind-blowing that the simple act of a citizen walking in the door could cause such panic among the board.

    I hereby state my intention to play by the rules established by this forum and its administrators. I will not let you get away with spewing BS about me.

    As far as my coming here from Lovettsville (please see my stated address above) I would think you would know that in this digital age I don't have to go very far physically to participate in discussions that include me as a subject.

    As far as your grand PEC conspiracy theories, keep spinning.

    Jeff, I think the only people mentioning PEC and conspiracies in this discussion are you and GM.

    The "October 2 incident", is that the Board meeting? The drama angle is your own, on the Post web.

    The "damning letter from a large construction company that concerns Mr. Snow", would that be that Dietze has bid on a contract in Loudoun? There are rules on conflict, and if it is a private company opening a project to bids, that isn't a government issue.

    No one is in on the FBI issue (but you?). Okay.

    Of course you don't have to go far in the digital age. I'm just curious, as a former member of the LCRC, why a current member would spend so much time campaigning against eastern incumbents. Is Geary Higgins a shoo-in against Sally Kurtz? I doubt it, given that she made history by being re-elected in Catoctin in 03.

    I don't campaign in other districts because I can't vote there. The only person you can vote for that I see you working for is Scott York.

    In my opinion, you guys are doing the majority of spin and damage control, because of the FOIAs, the lawsuits, and the need to create an audience for the group(s).

    You've made a good start on the rules just by using a real name. This place has had troubles with multiple fake IDs before.

    The rules of conflict of interest just don't work effectively as we see how snow is legally skirting them to line his pockets and Dietz's. Personally there should be a rule that no politician or appointed official should have nothing to do with construction or real estate in any shape or form while in office or 5 years after. period. Another reason I would never run or get involved too closely with the political system as since I am in real estate in many different hats soon, I can clearly see how politician's and their appointed officials can exploit the system for their and their employers personal gain LEGALLY. Now it becomes an issue of what kind of true morals they have if any.

    Lee, are you saying Mr. York should have resigned his Board position when he accepted the job with ServiceStar?

    Sorry Lee, its just not that simple. You are focusing on construction. What about others that benefit indirectly from choices? You could be a headhunter that benefits from new employment in the area.. You could be anything and benefit from increased population or jobs in the area.

    Your indirect benefit causing a conflict of interest is just too generic.

    If the county booms.. my home values will go up. Does that mean I benefit from increased development and therefore I too am in a conflict of interest?

    You have to draw the line at some point.

    Absolutely Barbara!!!! I am neither a democrat or republican all should be fair in Politics. Real estate and politicians when mixed always seems to have a bad outcome for the general population. Whether here or in texas or california where I have lived and been involved in Real estate. All should be fair!!!

    I see your point and tomorrow I will answer the best I can from my opinion and experience. Right now I am about to have a house full of people and we are making a movie :clap: That is right Lees movie is about to become reality here instead of california who would of thought. ha ha ha ha:)

    Later I will watch my team the Cowboys stay in first place and kick some butt and might even have a former redskin player over here so I can taunt him and visa versa. ha ha ha ha ha

    So goodbye for today

    "I don't campaign in other districts because I can't vote there."

    This is nothing but an arbitrary demarcation. I have no problem with you applying it to yourself (which you really don't) but you have no business trying to force others to adopt this standard. Loudouners should be talking to other Loudouners about the election and how OUR votes impact all of us. As long as Snow and Burton can vote on issues that impact us all, ALL of our opinions on how they are doing representing us are perfectly valid. I ENCOURAGE cross-district discussions. I would think an official of the County would as well.
