Favola, County Board Members Use County Employees to Provide Personal and Political Services

Hello, Ms. Yupette,

I've heard Barbara Favola and Chris Zimmerman vent their anger at County Employees once too often, most recently because last night's County Board Meeting did not go their way.

Barbara Favola, Chris Zimmerman, Walter Tejada and occasionally Mary Hynes and Jay Fisette use County Employees to provide a wide variety of personal and political services, ranging from personal chauffeur service to coordinating political events and activities. This is not what we were paid and hired to do, which is constituent service. If you work for the County Board and express reservations about what you're asked and required to do for them, you are abused, and then you are gone.

BTW, Chris Zimmerman is a mess and needs a psychiatric consultation, ASAP.

Anon. County Staff

Zimmie is a mess, and Favola is not far behind.

The person to blame for allowing 350 people into the County Board Room last night was the Security Aide on duty who is is supposed to be trained to prevent that from happening.

After 30 years of one-party rule it's not surprising.

If Barbara Favola weren't such an a--hole about stadium lighting for Marymount at O'Connell HS, last night's CB meeting would have been a no-brainer.

We did not elect County Board members to be lobbyists for their employers.

Those who had to work with Chris Zimmerman at WMATA are happy he's gone.

Why are taxpayers funding the salaries of at least a dozen employees who spend their days at 2100 as de facto campaign staff for County Board members?

Why did the County Board increase the real estate tax rate by 1 cent? So County Board members will have a $5.7 million 'slush fund' to buy votes from special interest groups, whose well-paid executives visit the County Board offices to meet with County Staff and the County Board to arrange funding for their organization's activities.

Barbara Favola met with several pet 'community leaders' from Williamsburg at County Board offices to work on 'facilitating' stadium lighting for Marymount at Bishop O'Connell. She also met with Bishop O'Connell employees at the County Board offices to arrange the big demonstration that occurred at Tuesday's County Board meeting.

The big deal the Poverty Pimps make out of attending the County Board's annual budget hearings is another soap opera production. They visit Favola and other County Board members to arrange their annual Gimmee gifts weeks and months in advance. County Board also has County Staff arrange visits to Poverty Pimps' organizations to show support.

If you look at the Consent Agenda for the March 12th County Board meeting you will see it was "Christmas in March" for the County Board's pet people and organizations.

Want to hear hate speech? Listen to what's said about the minorities who live on the Pike when Walter is not around the County Board Offices.

Zimmerman gets mad at county employees because of the demonstration Favola arranged? Pretty appalling.

Right now they are meeting with their 'community leaders' from the 'white citizens council' and their 'resegregation through gentrification' consultant, Dover, Kohl, to plan the next round of gentrification charades, starting with the Foxcroft Heights charade on March 26th.

This (March 26th) planning charade is a Special County Board Meeting and Latinos and Latinas have already been told they are not welcome to attend.

I live in South Fairlington. The schools in Alexandria don't have problems with field lights because they don't put field lights up on the edge of the field in a residential neighborhood across the street from homes.
