RE: The Whole Truth please

[stinger]

Mr. Burton,
I always appreciate that you take the time to respond to me, particularly since I'm not even one of your constituents.  I truly am surprised you were not informed about these alternative alignments.  I'm sure you understand the significance of this information as it pertains to HS-10.  What else do you you suppose you are not being told by LCPS and others?   I suppose that now that I have brought this disturbing information to your attention, you will investigate it further.   Additionally, since the RFP response submitted for the Crim/Moler property is in your district was apparently also withheld from you and your collegues on the BOS, I trust you will investigate it further as well. 

I sincerely look forward to hearing from you, Sally and Chairman York on what will be done about correcting these and all the other lies/misinformation/deception, or whatever you want to call it.   Western Loudoun school children and their families absolutely do not deserve to continue being political pawns and I am hopeful that you will lead your collegues into setting things straight and doing the right thing moving forward, so that people like me have no incentive to continue digging up the past. 

Thank you for your service to the citizens of Loudoun County.
Sarah Stinger

Dear Ms. Stinger,

I have reviewed the materials attached to your email. I am not sure how to respond to your request as this is the first time that I have seen the email from Scott Dunn nor do I recall any mention of alternative alignments during conversations at the time.

Best regards,

Jim Burton

Jennifer,

Haven't heard back from you but having thought about it further, I guess you have otherwise been silenced on responding to the proposed C.L.A.S.S. Vision plan, particularly since you are on record of being very interested in schools sharing space/facilities on the Park site, per pages 5-6 of the attached "Written Questions....doc"

Is it Mayor Walker that brokered the deal years ago to keep the high school out of Town? The record shows her lobbying for it in Wheatland back in 2006, and again in 2009. If the 3rd module wasn't in part for future school capacity - what was it really for? The Mayor refuses to acknowledge the significance of "Mayor Walker's Plan" as referenced in LCPS-County-VDOT
meeting minutes. Who was the one that was spreading the rumor the Town
would have to pay for school utilities? Was that you or the Mayor?

If it isn't the Mayor behind all the anti-Lovettsville school subterfuge, was it Dr Adamo? What has happened to our friend that observed cyclist Adamo's typical use of Milltown Rd for his rides being a possible reason he didn't want schools on the Park or Miller sites? If not the Mayor or Dr.
Adamo acting singly, God forbid it has been our dear Sally or even the honorable former Asst Superintd Moler that have teamed with Dr. Adamo?
Because everyone knows they would all qualify as being very powerful potential NIMBYs with incentive to keep schools far away from their backyard.

The extent of subterfuge orchestrated by LCPS and other officials to keep schools out of Lovettsville is remarkable. All the documentation/events are not a cooincidence - they point directly at a coordinated effort to prevent high /middle schools from being sited near Lovettsville, and the elementary out of Hillsboro as well.

The fact that officials stood in front of the public in May 2008 and stated in their presentation that condemnation would be required to access schools on the Park, all the while the attached alignments prepared by LCPS' own consultants prove condemnation would NOT be necessary, is beyond deceitful.

I think now is the time that you, Sally, Mr. Burton and Mayor Walker need to own up and explain exactly why those alignments were specifically withheld from the public; and who is behind the subterfuge/obsession with keeping schools OUT of Lovettsville.

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

It is my understanding that the doc was not shared with the mayor in advance
of the hearing. Did you show it to Bobby? The board voted that night to
approve the park; were you aware of that when you mailed this to me? I am
not sure what to say about any of it other than I read the entire doc. I
don't agree with some of the assertions made toward the end of it, but I
read through the entire thing. Sorry I didn't write back that I had.

I had mentioned the land behind the CC should be bought by the county for a
community center expansion - I had never mentioned a park. If the CC were
to be expanded it could allow other things to go with it...

Have a good day and weekend - stay cool!
Jennifer

Jennifer,
Pamela prepared the attached document and Dan Schmidt did the design, he
apparently used Dominion HS as a template. Pamela had spoken to Sally about
it and suggested to me that, since I knew you and Bobby, would I share it
with the two of you. Pamela presented it to Mayor Walker today (which is
why I couldn't talk to you or Bobby about it beforehand) who not only
wouldn't consider the concept, she apparently became hostile.

I recall you saying to me that you had always hoped for the land behind the
community center to be a Park. Others like Pamela apparently agreed. If
you had time to meet with me I would have asked you to please get Noah's
input on the concept because I know he was on the Park Committee and worked
so hard getting signatures for "support of a high school in the Lovettsville
area".

If you take the time to look at this and perhaps even with an open mind to
give it any thought/consideration, which as your constituent I ask that you
do, and can find the time to talk with me about it, I would be grateful.

I'm leaving for Richmond (VCU orientation) in the morning and return
Wednesday night.

Sarah
