Hi Yupette,
I was researching some land records in Paulie Ferguson's office last week when an acquaintance who works for Paulie asked me if I was aware that Zimmy's heir-apparent - Melissa Bondi - was hit with a huge lien against her home ($19,252.23 to be exact) by the IRS last March 29th.
Very interesting. Didn't Paulie Ferguson endorse Melissa, along with Zimmy and Walter Tejada? What's THIS all about? Sheesh.

Why am I not surprised. What can you expect from a Democratic Regime that's been in power for 31 years?

Bondi has a hugely inflated resume', based on joining lots of organizations and infrequently attending meetings.
I will NOT vote for Bondi, Garvey, or Fallon. All three created problems they say they will work to solve if elected to County Board.
Bondi is largely responsible for transportation and housing problems in older suburbs across America because she and her "Smart Growth" buds have inflicted in-fill gentrification on suburban communities never designed to be urbanized.
Without smart growth, we'd be in much worse shape. You can't stop growth, you can only manage it - smartly.
Bull-oney. Smart Growth is killing Arlington as a livable suburban community. Smart Growth (what an oxymoron) sure as hell is killing my neighborhood in Columbia Heights as a livable community.
As was posted on this blog recently, the 'Smart Growth' developers, consultants, planners, etc., live in dumb growth subdivisions in McLean.
What is the lien related to? Non-repayment of federal student loans?
Smart Growth? Check out Arlington's SECOND worst yuppie zoo neighborhood (Arlington's worst is Bondi's) - Penrose Square.
What's the lien related to? Ask her journalist pals at the Sun Gazette, ArlNow, Clarendon Patch, and AVN.
You forgot the Zimmercrats who run AIM.
Apparently she 'forgot' to pay taxes on a lot of self-employment income.
Simple mistake - she filed the 1099s with the Weight Watchers stuff.
FYI the Arlington Repigs have been sending copies of lien notices and whatever else the IRS has issued regarding Bondi to the local media for a couple days.
This has something to do with being paid to lobby for "Smart Growth" while she was on the Housing Commission, Economic Development Commission, etc.
Didn't she recently state that she wasn't going to take contributions from developers or special interests if she were elected to the County Board?
Much ado about nothing. Why do you think ACDC elected a criminal defense attorney to be its Chairman? Mike will fix things for poor Melissa.
ArlNow, Patch, Sun Gazette, AIM, AVN etc., are a bunch of f-ing worthless Yuptards who are only capable and competent to report about spas, health clubs, restaurants, and Yuptard real estate (infill condos and tear down McMansions).
Lien was related to unreported income from self employment.
Anyone who wants to view the statements of financial interest for County Board members and candidates who are serving on advisory commissions can call the County Board office at 228-3130 and make an appointment and/or visit the Voter Registrar's office weekdays 9-5. Both on the third floor of 2100 Clarendon Blvd.
Clarendon and Penrose Square are examples of how NOT to manage growth.
Bondi should not be running for anything. She and her 'Smart Growth' developer pals should be running from a federal grand jury.
The Sun Gazette and paid blogs are giving Melissa a free ride on this. Don't know about the Post. You can send the pdf of the lien that's going around Arlington to sullivanp at washpost dot com. See what happens.
The Post stands to make hundreds of millions from redevelopment of the property it owns on the Alexandria waterfront. Post is not going to report anything detrimental about a megadevelopment deal maker.
F Y I, Audrey Clement is on the ballot for the March 27th special election. Zimmerman told AIM to exclude Clement from the televised AIM-Patch candidate debate Thursday. So if you want to see a candidate forum that includes Audrey you will have to attend a civic association debate or the CivFed debate on March 6th, which may or may not be televised by AIM.
People, this County is totally corrupt. What's going on here rivals what Putin is doing in Russia. Difference is that here the so-called 'journalists' get paid off in various ways so the regime doesn't have to resort to physical threats.
We converted the pdf file to jpeg and added the image, in response to your many requests.
Paul Ferguson had to know about this...and endorsed her anyway.
What can you expect? Paulie Ferguson was, is, and always will be Arlington's First Yuppie.
If you can't see that Paulie had his deputy sign off on the lien click the image to enlarge.
Toto, I think this is more serious than accepting a few free treats at Dogma.
Bondi is a liar. The address on the lien is the same as her campaign address, yet she claims that she is surprised.
Audrey Clement won tonight's debate at McKinley Elementary School. The Dem candidates were either mouthing vague promises (Bondi, Sims, Fallon, Garvey) or overly concerned with a couple of special interests (Klingler).
I don't fear Bondi being on the County Board as much as Arlington's biggest bullshooter - Libby Garvey.
How does Bondi actually obtain the income she refuses to pay taxes on?
According to Dems who attended the debate tonight Bondi didn't pay personal property tax or traffic tickets when she owned a vehicle.
Having mismanaged school construction to the extent that W-L installed trailers 2 years after completion Libby Garvey is making an articulate case for being elected to the County Board based on her 'management' expertise.
Libby's excuse tonight for the unforeseen need for new schools and classrooms and the School Board's incompetence in meeting the need - "Stuff Happens".
Tonight's so-called 'debate' was a joke. The Moderator was the Clown.
Libby's also a Liar. Upscale people move to Arlington so their kids can attend schools in Upscale North Arlington where the focus is totally on enrichment.
What about Bondi not registering her car in Virignia or paying for her tax decal?
Fat, college dropout and tax cheat is no way to go through life girl.
Melissa flunked out of the University of Rochester. Or, to use the in-vogue phrase, she was told to 'seek other educational opportunities'.
Why is anyone surprised? She's another carpetbagger from the crumbling Rust Belt, like Zimmy, Fisette, Favola, Hynes, Garvey, etc., etc.
Bondi flunked out of college? Good grief, is there any level below which she could sink that the democratic establishment would wake up?
Her linkedin profile is very, very misleading about her education.
Hey, Yupette, Zimmy instructed AIM not to let Audrey Clement debate tomorrow night because the debate will be televised, so she was told she's not invited.
Zimmy also told AIM, Patch, Sun Gazette, ArlNow to not say a bad word about his gal Melissa, or else.
I searched yesterday and could not find a record of Melissa Bondi registering her consulting business with the County.
"Melissa Bondi is the best possible candidate for the Arlington County Board".
Failure to register Bondi's "consulting" business also means failure to pay business personal property tax, business license, and failure to seek zoning approval for home business (e.g., an on-line form that can be used by self-employed such as attorneys, sales persons, consultants, etc.).
Bondi wants to lord over the little people with her self-proclaimed brilliance, but all the while failing to follow basic rules imposed on everyone else in Arlington.
The failure to complete college raises also a lot of red flags when viewed in combination with the failure to pay taxes, register her car, etc. It suggests an inability to follow-through, an inability to reason, etc. Completing college is not impossible -- especially in this area with good community colleges. Given that she dropped out of college in 1992, there has been plenty of time to finish.
Frank O'Leary attended the Madison Manor debate yesterday...he seemed animated by Bondi's bullsh.....
Audrey Clement won tonight's Aurora Highlands / Arlington Ridge joint debate. Audrey stated what she was going to do to make things better for Arlington and Arlington residents. The other 5 stated how they plan on being independent of Zimmerman.
Bondi? Smart in the ways of Stupid Growth. Smart in the ways of Zimmerman. Another Yuptard every other way.
I attended Thursday's forum. I can't believe no one asked Bondi about these issues or for comment on the Patch report.
Very funny comment: "ArlNow, Patch, Sun Gazette, AIM, AVN etc., are a bunch of f-ing worthless Yuptards who are only capable and competent to report about spas, health clubs, restaurants, and Yuptard real estate (infill condos and tear down McMansions)."
Apparently the brilliant author has no idea that AVN is the official County cable channel. Not exactly allowed to cover controversial issues.
There is a considerable overlap between AIM and AVN. Maybe they could merge and go public with an IPO. Name the new company ZVN or Zimmervision
Bondi doesn't own a vehicle, she's been using someone else's. Hardly a 'car-free diet'.
What the Zimmercrats (yes Garvey included) said last night - "We're Independent". What any one of them would do next year if elected - vote en bloc with Zimmy, Mary, Jay, and Jose'.
Melissa lives in Lisa Chavez's home. Does she actually OWN anything besides her clothes, cosmetics, and a cell phone?
Garvey 'independent' of Zimmy? It was Zimmy's inner circle who fast-tracked Wakefield.
Here is how tonight's AIM-Patch 'debate' is going to work.
Audrey Clement is banned. Zimmy said no way does he want her on TV.
No audience.
Debate will be between 5:30 and 6:30.
Each candidate brings 3 friends / advisors / cronies / developers / etc.
Debate will last an hour and will be broadcast on at least 4 (maybe more) future dates.
It's unclear whether any future debates will be broadcast by AIM. Maybe. Maybe not.
At least the audio quality will be good.
Interesting how the Zimtards who control ArlNow always trash A.Y. as being a bull**** blog. Not true.
Heads Up...Patricia Sullivan of the Post is preparing an article about Bondi's altercation with the IRS.
Another Heads Up...Make an appointment now with the County Board Clerk to peruse the 2012 statements of financial interest submitted by Bondi and other appointed 'decision makers' before the Dem caucus. 703-228-3130.
Zimtards? Zimtards? You two f-ing cunts that own this f-ing blog had better keep those f-ing bags over your heads if you know what's good for you.
Hey, let's keep the discussion on whether the candidates are qualified or just hot air. Throwing in 'fat' is hitting below the belt. And I don't see much difference between someone who insults the weight challenged and someone who is biased against those born in another state.
Narrow minded and mean spirited. What's next picking on their hair cuts.
She should be aiming much higher than just a member of the Arlington County Board. With her tax problems she would be a slam dunk for Secretary of the Treasury in the Obama Administration!
Zimtards? Too bad your corrupt parents destroyed the Rust Belt with their wheeling, dealing and stealing. So, why don't you and Melissa just keep moving south and make someplace else Carpetbagger County? Take your carpetbagger pals Zimmerman, Hynes, and Fisette with you.
Zimtards? Yes, they are a bunch of f-ing carpetbaggers, con artists, thieves, liars, scoundrels.
Thank you to the good folks who uncovered this fraud and sham of a candidate. You are heroes, and deserve a medal for potentially saving us from yet another "permanent" imperialistic ruler with a "let them eat cake" attitude.
Every single Arlingtonian who hears this story and is already disgusted with the manner in which the Arlington County Board has mowed over community after community in pursuit of personal ideologues and agendas should make every effort to encourage their friends, neighbors and acquaintances to turn out and vote for "ANYBODY BUT BONDI".
The facts of this story are outrageous and her lies are worse. Together they are the epitome of blatant arrogance. It appears that Ms. Bondi feels she is "above it all", that the rules don't apply to her and that if caught, she can lie her way out of it because just like her benefactors on the County Board, she thinks Arlingtonians are SHEEP and too stupid to figure it out or too complacent to stand up for what is right.
Seriously? Does she really think that a line (actually more than one) hasn't been crossed here? Does she truly believe that the hard working people who do follow the rules will swallow her myths whole or that long-standing supporters of the Democratic Party will ignore her misdeeds and lies simply because they are afraid of retribution from ACDC and Chris Zimmerman? If that turns out to be the case, you have to ask: "So who are the real sheep now?"
Arlingtonians who are "in the know" and value and respect a true democratic process need to dedicate themselves to keeping this story ALIVE. They need to write letters, make phone calls and encourage the local media (print, radio and TV) to not let up, to dig deeper -- get to the heart of the matter so that innocent voters who are "in the know" can't be duped by this fraud nor the "ruling elite" who have handpicked Bondi to be their new rubber stamp on the County Board.
The people of Arlington deserve better and clearly ANYBODY BUT BAAAAA-BAAAA BONDI would be.
We HAVE a choice. We HAD a choice on November 8th.
How about a candidate who worked her way through an Ivy League university (she also had scholarships) and worked her way through graduate school to earn a Ph.D.? How about a candidate who lives in a basement apartment in a middle class neighborhood, commutes by bicycle and Metrobus and Metrorail everywhere? How about a candidate who works in an responsible position? How about a candidate who deeply cares about the homeless, affordable housing, and the environment? How about a candidate who talks about what she's going to do for us rather than what she's done for Zimmerman at candidate forums?
People we HAVE a choice. I'm voting for Audrey Clement on March 27th.
Please vote for Garvey in the caucus. Then vote for Clement in the general
I am tired of hypocrites like Bondi inflicting their New Urbanist ideology on the rest of us. Why don't you ask Audrey Clement how difficult it is to LIVE a car-free diet in Arlington rather than TALK about a car free diet while having free use of someone's car?
What do Zimmerman, Bondi, and the 'Smart Growth' New Urbanists want? They want residents to own an expensive vehicle and drive it to the supermarket. Store the vehicle in an underground garage below one's luxury condo. Ride a bicycle or a streetcar otherwise.
They want non-residents to be able to drive to and from Arlington, one to a vehicle. No matter how much traffic congestion that causes in Arlington. Don't believe it? Check out the 'planning' for Shirlington, the Pike, Crystal City, East Falls Church, Clarendon, etc.
'Because you care about Arlington's schools...Melissa Bondi is the superior choice for County Board"
"It's time for a new generation of leadership to build on Arlington's success".
"We need Melissa on the County Board. Melissa's experience makes her uniquely qualified."
Here's another howler from Melissa's campaign literature:
"Melissa Bondi led the coordination among five neighborhoods that convinced the County Board to re-direct the Clarendon planning process, and to listen to our ideas for historic preservation, walkability, small business and public space."
- Lisa Chavez
But Melissa, Arlington's County Manager, Economic Development Director, and Community Planning, Housing, and Development Director all live in dumb growth suburbs in Fairfax County.
Ed, it's time for leaders who don't go from bad to worse - from planning high schools that need trailer classrooms 2 years after they're completed to putting a chicken coop behind every McMansion on a postage-stamp lot.
But Linda, your and Melissa's neighbors in Courthouse were outraged about not being told about the new homeless facility.
NO MORE CORRUPT SELECTIONS.

Time for Regime Change. Thirty years is enough.
Bondi occupies Pastries by Randolph.
Hey, Yupette, 'Regime Change' is underway in Alexandria. Kerry Donley and Rob Krupicka are retiring from the City Council. Andy McDonald will be elected 'Reform' Mayor next year. Alexandria PD and Commonwealth's Attorney DO try to deal with corruption. Eight City employees were charged with serious criminal offenses last year, most having to do with stealing. Read the Alexandria Times this week. Not totally in the developers' pockets.
Alex.
Citing health, Donley steers clear of re-election bid
"Vice Mayor Kerry Donley won't seek re-election to the city council this year because of health issues.
The former mayor, 54, made the decision around Thanksgiving. He said his blood pressure has risen steadily over the past two years as second-in-command.
'It's time to focus on my family and on me," Donley said.
Donley, a Democrat and household name in local politics, is the second incumbent to steer clear of the race. Councilman Rob Krupicka will not seek re-election either."
Alex., as long as we're talking about Alexandria and stealing, what's the latest on the January 21st show down over the waterfront and why isn't the Post reporting its role in the negotiations as the major property owner?
LOL...it's Mayor Euille's Christmas in January gift to his fellow Developers.
Zimm's excess campaign funds are now in Bondi's campaign account .. And paying for the slick mailers we get every day.
Too bad he didn't ask some basic questions before sloshing his money her way..
Next campaign reports are due at the State Board of Elections on January 17th.
"Bondi said she lives at the address where the tax lien notification was sent but would not say whether she received notices or warning letters. She said she asked the IRS to provide her with all previous correspondence they sent."
You have GOT to be kidding! She should resign from the campaign RIGHT NOW.
Does Paulie Ferguson know what's going on in his own office? Has anyone interviewed the deputy clerk who signed the lien for Paulie?
Besides the IRS she also blames "local bloggers'.
Ms. Bondi has asked the IRS for copies of all previous correspondences sent to her. Why? So she can ignore it again?
Bondi owns a house in Ohio, in the town where she grew up. Google it, and you'll find it. So she lied about not owning a home, and she misleads us by saying she is carfree. She drives someone else's car. In Ferguson's defense, as the head of the department, he can't know all the transactions that pass through that office. On the other hand, he could have checked with the tax office to make sure she was "clean". A late payment is a permanent record.
I'm glad she has the bloggers and others to blame for all of her problems. This enables her to avoid responsibility for her own actions. She will fit in well on the county board. With the proper spin she could actually convince voters that we owe her the job. Then she can vote herself a pay raise to pay off her debt to the IRS. I wonder how many other years the IRS is trying to resolve. I hope she's not paying her tax advisor by the hour. He's going to be busy for a long time.
It gets worse - Bondi's campaign workers are out handing literature to voters and they tell anyone who asks that it's all a big mistake and the bloggers are out to get Melissa. Appears that she and Zimmerman are going to try to bluff their way to a win.
Anyone know is there is a lien or liens filed against the Ohio home?
As far as a lien on her Ohio house, I doubt it. The IRS doesn't seem to be that smart. If they had googled her, they would have found the house.
http://fiscalofficer.cuyahogacounty.us/AuditorApps/real-property/REPI/default.asp
Is she renting out the Ohio house to tenants? If the IRS finds out she's not declaring the income on her tax returns, she will really have problems. She may succeed with her bs strategy on the voters and claim she is proving affordable housing. The IRS won't be as understanding. They can can review her bank records and see the cash.
Bondi hitches rides, borrows vehicles, and obtains personal assisting from a group of young female supporters.
Zimmy is gonna bluff it.
She must have contempt for voters or just think we're stupid. Maybe she thinks we're so lucky to have her that we shouldn't ask too many questions and let her loose on the County Board?
Is the Ohio house occupied with tenants? Is Bondi declaring the rental income on her tax returns? The IRS can look at her bank accounts. If they catch her again it will make her current problems pale in comparison.
No, telling the IRS you're proviiding affordable housing is not a valid defense.
I wonder if Bondi's supporters really believe her story, or if they are just sticking together until the caucus is over? After she wins, will they organize a legal defense fund for her?
No, they are out in the cold handing out campaign lit and telling voters that they don't want a weirdo like Audrey Clement or Libby Garvey on the County Board.
Weirdos? What's wrong with graduating from the University of Pennsylvania or Mt. Holyoke College?
Wrong colleges for 'Smart Growth' Arlington. Better choices - Penn State and U Mass.
I vote for environment. You can trash the smart growth (and I do frequently ) but Bondi has the best green track record of the lot, and Garvey the worst. Unfortunately we don't have any real environmentalist running.
I also failed to pay my local stickers on time and ran into Tax problems because I am over-worked and disorganized. I think that is the case with her. Eventually folks like us have to pay fines. Big deal.
What a bunch of bull. Bondi is in the running for First Smart Growth Yuptard. Gentrify out the middle class so they can drive to their $10 an hour jobs, 100 miles round trip. Obviously she has another disorganized Democrat supporting her. What's the next excuse from ACDC? That she suffered a deprived childhood in the Rust Belt? There IS an environmentalist on the ballot. Audrey Clement. I'm voting for her.
Obviously another BondiCrat. How much do Mommy and Daddy ante up every month to subsidize your Yuptard lifestyle?
Sheesh, people. This stuff from Melissa goes on and on. Who the hell is promoting her campaign? ACDC Chair Mike Lieberman, who is a member of the Virginia Bar and who's also a criminal defense attorney?
"All us disorganized and dysfunctional Democrats do it" is another reason to not vote for Melissa.
Time for Chris 'Mubarak' Zimmerman to resign from the County Board and work as a lobbyist for the REITs.
Bondi 's strategy is to stall for time while they find more voters that haven't heard anything on this yet. Just like jury selection.
If Zimmerman resign CB to become REIT lobbyist that means atleast he gets to keep at one of his two jobs.
Who's been left out of the equation? The RePigs...who hate Arlington Democrats. What do you thing they are going to do when theny smell a little blood in the water?
Yupette, I support a family of five, pay all my taxes on time (including self-employment tax on income for second job). What goes here with the idea that Melissa Bondi is a leader we can't do without? I thought the Dems say they elect candidates who reflect Arlington values.
"Mike Lieberman is an Associate in Crowell and Morning's White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement and Litigation Groups. He actively represents clients litigating criminal and civil matters at both the trial and appellate level.
On the criminal side. Mike's practice has ranged widely including helping clients facing allegations of wire and security fraud, tax evasion, bribery, price fixing, and narcotics charges.
On the civil side, Mike's practice has been similarly broad, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in cases including civil rights, contracts, torts,health care, and other complex litigation.
Mike is a member of the Virginia state bar, the D.C. Bar and the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association, and currently serves as the Chair of the Arlington (VA) Democratic Committee."
Occupy Arlington? I vote to invite the FBI's Organized Crime Strike Force to occupy 2100 Clarendon Blvd. Start asked the SleazoCrats who, where, how, when, starting with Zimmy and Melissa.
Yes, Melissa's crewe was out today talking to the sheeple.
So the chair of ACDC has represented clients charged with tax evasion? Well, Ms Bondi is adept at picking friends. She has a tax advisor, a lawyer, and supporters willing to stand out in the cold talking to voters and cover for the consequences of her habitual lying.
She is 'hiring a tax advisor', whatever that means. She is angry at this and other blogs. What does that mean? Means to me that she's furious her behavior was exposed. She's a female Marion Barry. The blogs that accept paid advertising are accepting her excuses and lies. Editor of the Sun Gazette suddenly went on vacation. Her campaign is telling Independents and Republicans to vote for her. A young Marion Barry clone on the County Board? Think about it.
Ok, so why is Libby Garvey supposed to be a weirdo?
Worst kind of political machine entrenched at 2100 Clarendon Blvd. Supported by the local media, with occasional lapses by the Post.
Has something to do with teenage angst...Melisssa got caught "drinking beer and smoking cigarettes" and she and her friends are outraged at the adults who caught her.
Speaking of adult behavior, a Clarendon resident bitterly complained about the out-of-control partying in Mary Hynes's neighborhood (aka Dysfunction Junction) at the Lyon Village candidates' forum last year and Mary responded that the police, code enforcement, and the club owners were 'working on fixing the problems'.
Yeah, and Melissa wants to make YOUR neighborhood a party zone, together with the County Planners and Economic Development Team members who live in dumb growth subdivisions in Fairfax County.
They are putting their own kids into trailer classrooms rather than build new schools so they can build more luxury public recreation and entertainment.
Scott McCaffrey refuses to report on Melissa Bondi's taxcapades. Now he chastises Yupette for revealing the truth. Scotty is consistent, he lashes out whenever his sponsors are criticized.
The Arlington Sun Gazette is a free circulation pennysaver publication with advertiser sponsored editorial content.
Scotty won't fork out a $1.50 for the Orlando Sentinel? Funny. Nobody lays out a red cent for the Sun Gazzette -- it's junk mail all the way.
I hear American Community Newspapers is doing a cost/benefit analysis in Plano, TX, looking at replacing Scott McCaffrey with web crawling and filtering software, a cheaper and more effective means of picking up and republishing ACDC and ArlCo press releases.
Scott is so anxious to demean and threaten his sponsors' critics that he overlooked that a real newspaper reported on Biondi's taxcapades. Go back to the Pennysaver Scotty.
Bondi belongs to the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. McCaffrey is a member of the Executive Committee of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce.
So now McCaffrey is blaming the bloggers? He has a huge conflict of interest endorsing candidates and being on the board of the Chamber of Commerce. What a jerk.
What is the deal with Bondi's education? Her linkedin profile suggests that she graduated from college, but it appears that she never finished college.
This just another oddity in her inflated background.
Something else that's really strange. She dropped out (or flunked out) of the University of Rochester and she stated she was a Physics major. This is a university that sends it's Physics graduates on to Los Alamos or on to Princeton and Caltech for graduate school.
This posting first appeared in AY a week ago and McCaffrey had nothing to say until now.
LOL, it takes a week for Scott's blurbs to be approved for publication by the Chamber's Board of Directors.
Scott, Florida Gulf Coast newspapers are hiring. Keep interviewing until you get an offer.
Duh, so who do you think Scott will endorse for County Board this week?
McCaffrey is part of an incredibly arrogant Democratic Machine. Another part is the arrogant county staff who are apparently employed to give citizens the run-around.
I, and other parents, have been trying to get an air quality assessment for Long Bridge Park (see the posting below this one on A.Y.). The County Board simply refuses. So does the School Board....and Libby Garvey was also asked directly.
They spent $35 million on landscaping and toxic soil remediation. And didn't bother checking the air quality? Only response of the parks and rec staff is --- don't worry, be happy. Not surprising. They live in Prince William County.
They are too busy planning the $150 million Long Bridge Sports and Recreation Megaplex to listen to you, TJ Parent.
Matter they are all concerned about is whether or not they will be able to build a full size (that's 45,000 sq ft or 1 acre) indoor soccer arena at Long Bridge Park, per Tejada's demands.
AY, good job on outing Bondi but there is more to the story. I am talkign felonies
See Below
http://boe.cuyahogacounty.us/pdf_boe/en-US/2011/Cancellation_All_ByCityWard.txt
Bondi come s off the OHIO voter rolls in 2011. BUT she has voted in Arlington and COLLECTED signatures in Arlington for several years. The last as you know from the change of government fiasco is a felony. I think Melissa looks good in stripes.
Greater Greater Washington has endorsed Bondi. Fairly comical, actually.
So she voted in both Arlington and Ohio elections for several years? I know a bunch of people who own winter homes in Florida and summer homes in the NE have historically pulled that stunt.
Are you suggesting voting fraud is common and that makes it ok? People went to jail over the change of government petition drive. I don't know if Bondi is guilty of voting in multiple jurisdictions, but someone should look into it. It would clear her name of this latest allegation.
Easy enough to determine....
Cuyahoga County (OH) Auditor - Real Estate Information 216-443-7100
Cuyahoga County (OH) Board of Elections 216-443-3298
Arlington County Voter Registrar 703-228-3456
Can someone call the Cuyahoga County Auditor's office today? Determine whether she was/is in arrears on real estate taxes and has/had a lien or liens on the home she owns, apparently given to her by her father?
If you visit zillow.com and enter the property address you will see a photo of the house, it's on a corner lot. This is apparently the home Melissa grew up in, suburban neighborhood. What is commonly referred by Melissa's friends in Arlington as a 'tear down opportunity'.
If she voted in both Ohio and Arlington (in-person and absentee) that would be pretty serious, especially if it were in a national election, e.g., 2008. But people who own property in two different political jurisdictions do that all the time, also fill out a census form for their vacation home on Lake Anna and suburban home in Arlington, also use the address of a rental property they own in Arlington as their "legal residence" in order to continue to enroll their kids in the Arlington school system.
I would be proud to serve with Melissa.
Some of them own multiple properties and run for public office whereever there is a vacant office. Ambition and ethics are at odds. Speaks volumes of the problems with the system.
Are you suggesting Garvey and the rest of the school board created a school capacity problem by failing to ensure that only Arlington residents have access to our public schools?
No, she and the rest on the School Board have been allowing that illegal behavior to occur for 15 years. It's become a fringe benefit for County employees who move out of the County.
Libby is as big a bullshooter as Melissa. And she's been bullshooting much longer. Heads we lose...tails we lose.
Feds are supposed to have the capability to identify people who vote in Arlington and Cleveland, at least in the November elections.
Jay Fisette exchanged information regarding gentrification / yuppification with Adrian Fenty. I wonder if Melisssa is exchanging information about local governance with Marion Barry?
I am a Democrat who is sitting out the Democratic Caucus. I will see who is on the ballot in March and will make a decision then. Right now, all I see are years more 5-0 County Board votes no matter which Democrat wins the Caucus and goes on to win election this year.
I hope the dem party faithful are pleased that in their determination to support Bondi no matter what information has come out they have opened the door wide for the republicans to provide an alternative - something that likely would not have happened if Bondi had just pulled out. When Mark Kelly wins, he can thank the democrats for their blind support of Ms. Bondi -- along with community oppostion to backyard chickens and the avian flu they can spread!!!
Has Bondi been voting in Ohio and Virginia during the same election periods? If so, that's a felony for each occurrence.
http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/13350/melissa-bondi-for-arlington-county-board/#comment-127464
I'm no election lawyer Yupette, but it appears that by voting in Ohio she is declaring out-of-state residency. Virginia law requires that candidates for local office be residents of the Commonwealth and be eligible to vote in Virginia. As recently as last week, Virginia election law residency requirements were affirmed by the Court of Appeals down in Richmond. I think you have exposed a case here of a spider catching herself in her own web.
Melissa Bondi announced for County Board on November 10, 2011
Melissa Bondi filed with the Arlington voter registrar a month before that, so she could fundraise, and get loans from other elected officials campaigns. The push was to get her organization geared up before the current vacancy opened up on the county board and appear to be the front runner.
You have to be a Virginia resident to file for public office in Virginia. How can you be a Virginia resident and vote in Ohio after you file to run for public office in Virginia?
I guess Attorney General Cuccinelli will have to sort it all out ;-]
Anyone read Zimmy's letter supporting Bondi posted on Blue Virginia? Arlington needs regime change in 2012 like Egypt needed regime change in 2011.
Why doesn't Cuccinelli investigate this?
She votes in Ohio. Owns a home in Ohio. Collects Signatures in Virginia? Files for County Board in Virginia. Votes in Virginia? Sheesh.
Cuccinelli should investigate the entire Democratic caucus system where surrogate voting is so common it's like 5-0 voting on the County Board.
Surrogate voting? You mean you vote on Thursday and vote again on Saturday for your good Democratic friend who's on vacation in Florida? It's a longstanding Democratic Tradition that's part of the Arlington Way.
Melissa Bondi was asked (along with the other 5 candidates in tonight's Cherrydale debate) whether she had any 'skeletons in the closet' and she refused to answer the question.
