Yeah i didn’t think he could say anything else.  This is so true,  I wouldn’t know the first step of trying to impeach her.  How can I request a audit to be done?  I really don’t think the money is going where it should be going.

Wow! Leave town for a week and all hell breaks loose. LOL! The posts on this article make for xcellent reading though.
I already figured Walker was lame for “tattling” on the other two candidates, I also know she sucks for not only pushing the schools out of Lovettsville but wanting them away from it’s perimeter as well. Now I come to find out she worked a deal to jip the town out of 7.5M? Hmmm.
Well, with supporters like BPM, no wonder she’s still there. For instance, in BPM’s first comment he called everybody idiots while saying that the proffers from new townhouses would have paid for sidewalks… you mean proffers that might have been dropped by Walker with even more possible “negotiations” with developers? Dude, DO NOT EVER refer to those townhouse proffers as definitive again. Walker would have given those away as well.
Is there no way to oust a Mayor due to the inability to properly maintain their orifice? Sorry, I meant “office?”
If she’s falling asleep at meetings, just whip out a cell phone and start video recording for youtube. Film every public address so you can record her lies on video as well. Most importantly, if it is well documented and provable that her actions are not in the best interest of the town, then do what ya gotta do to have her officially removed.

BTW, 7,500,000 divided by 1,318 (see the article above) comes to $5,690/person!!!! (that includes children and babies).  Multiply it out to see how much it will ultimately cost your family.

Lovettsville Lady,

The developer asked for a change to the zoning and stated in a public hearing that the change, which excused the developer from providing a large amount of infrastructure improvment to the town, would save him $7.5 million. Elaine was instumental in pushing through this zoning change without demanding commensurate (little if any, actually) contibutions to the town in the way of proffers.  In other words she allowed the developer to seriously “cheap-out” on the town center and asked for virtually nothing in return. In the long run, this represents $7.5 million in value that was sucked out of the town. That’s 7.5 million! that will eventually be paid by the people of Lovettsville one way or the other. In newspaper articles, she always talks about what “wonderful” experiences she has had with developers.  I guess they would be wonderful-if you handed me $7.5 million on a silver platter, and ask for nothing in return I would be your best buddy in the world.

Where did Mayor Walker get $7.5 million to give to anyone?

It is understood around town that the reporter who wrote the original article (see above) has been villified and maligned in the Town Hall.  Really, he only reported the facts:  Walker wrote a letter to the SBE with a “complaint” (her words) about Lam and Carder’s campaign materials.  In her letter, she implied that they didn’t “know the rules.”  The fact is, SHE didn’t know the rules after 30 years and this was reflected in the response from the SBE.  Those are the facts; Johnson just reported the facts.  That’s what reporters do.  It’s called Freedom of the Press; Freedom of Information; etc.  The town hall needs to look at the comments section below to discover what “stirring up trouble” really means.

Perhaps this is a story, but not really.  If one wants a story, why not look to Tom Dunn and Ken Reid’s campaign finance disclosure forms with the Board of Elections.  You might notice that, one the same day, each of them “loaned” themselves each $2,000.00, and just a few days later, Tom Dunn paid himself back the $2,000.00.  Is there a story there: I think so.

BM, talk about ignorance! Why don’t you ask your auntie Elaine about the $7.5 million she gave back to the developer of Town Center on a silver platter without a penny of extra proffers to show for it? When asked about it in the debate, all she could say was “more rooftops.” Not that all those rooftops have done a dang thing to bring a commercial center….That 7.5 million would have done the town a load of good…and how come no one has mentioned the ridiculous waste of $7,000 on Elaine’s pet project-the perpetually empty “trolley”. Thank heaven, Purcellville had the sense to finally put a stop to that waste.  Elaine would have had it run forever so that her ancient friends would be able to get to the imaginary medical clinic that she has been promising forever as a pander to them. Of course, all of this pales in comparison to the MILLIONS wasted on a superfluous water treatment plant that Elaine also lied about during the debate. BTW, BM, are you the guy that goes around to all of Elaine’s UnDead supporters and drags them from their couches to vote for her once every two years? Only when all of these provinical geezers are gone will Lovettsville have any hope whatsoever of becoming something other than Loudoun’s armpit. Unfortunately, the damage inflicted by your auntie Elaine’s incompetence and dishonesty will take generations to undo.

As far as the sidewalks go, the Mayor and TC have been ruminating about them for DECADES. Don’t blame VDOT! Sloth, moral corruption, vanity and ignorance are your auntie’s strong suits.

P.S.  I’ve been to MANY TC meetings and I have NEVER seen you there.

P.P.S.  Have you ever met someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder?  Look in the mirror!

Tell it like it is buddy.  I totally agree

There ya go, pushing the work on the community when it is our town that needs to push the f———state.  What a waste of tax money. Are you that stupid. YOU f——- D—k.  WTF??? I would love to meet you.  To see what kind of d—k you really look like. F—- VDOT and the state.  You and the mayor (TOWN) need to get off your f———a—and actually do your fu——- job.  F—k Lam as well.  What choices did we have.  WE see how things work in the town and in town hall. The only realist is Carder.  She is the person that needs to be there.  Hince is why the mayor doesn’t like her.  That b——of a mayor is exactly what she is.  Lazy, dumb, and just a waste of our tax money.  Trust me I am there at the meetings too.  As I see her fall asleep or not show up.  She needs her facts straight before doing anything.  We need to change and change for the better.  Not keep this little crooked town full of old folk that are focus on what their opponant did on his f—-ing flyer.  Are you serious. 
We need sidewalks, so the kids will stay on the sidewalk, not ride out in front of me.  We would have a lot more stuff if the town allowed restaurants (CHAINS) in, grocery stores etc. Instead you want to keep it as a small business oriented place.  No regulations on buildings etc…  Small businesses can’t make it in a town like this, not with a 40% tax rate..  Talk of the Town for instance.  Dumb a—see you at the meeting.  This is entirely to the The Bulletproof Monk

What other powers do you have, “Invisible Monk?” Not many people attend the Town Council meetings, unless they’re like you and we just can’t see them!

I suppose this is why Walker doesn’t know how to use a computer nor does she have email.  Still wonder who wrote the complaint letter for her.  How does she plan to sit next to Carder during meetings?  One wonders that after 30 years she never knew the rules.  She wasn’t that old 30 years ago; so age is no excuse for ineptitude.

Alot of folks posting here need to GET their facts straight. Blaming the Mayor because you’re too lazy to investigate how things ACTUALLY get done in the town is no excuse. Expecting to wake up tomorrow morning with it done won’t fly either.
Some have identified me as the Mayors shill. Nothing could be further from the truth. At many times in the past, I’ve stood in stark defiance to her. This time, with the idiocy of Lam, and the ever-present pack of fabricated lies he told you all…I had to stand with her.
But don’t let that stop you. Hang on his every fabrication, if you need to. The reality…and the gravity of the town will forge ahead, but it may be a couple of years….not tomorrow morning.

There are many folks who were the last ones to move in, but the first ones who understand how things are supposed to work :rolleyes:
As ‘ol Potterfield Drive rolls insults off at people and processes they do not and cannot understand (by reading their drivel, they obviously don’t understand what I explained—VDOT is a State entity. Good luck trying to stand up to them.) Get back to me on the progress (snicker)of getting them to smooze your arse because you’re just so .....special.
The rest of us “realist” will continue to attend meetings and forge ahead while you run your valient attempt to slay goliath.

“The Bulletproof Monk” Are you serious, that is what our town is suppose to do.  They need to push VDOT and the county to make things happen.  Why should I call VDOT or any one else\?  This is why we pay taxes idiot!!!  The mayor falls asleep at meetings, no one has resect for her.  She makes speeches that make no sense.  Our town needs to push these people/agencies to make things happen.  We pay dearly to have these things. Where does the money go?  HUH?  You must be one of them..  Think about it man!

Why does Lovettsville need sidewalks?  Where would people walk to?  The two restaurants?  How often does that happen?  A larger waste of money is $10,000 for Ocktoberfest.  What will that money be used for and how will it benefit the town?
Since Mayor Walker was recently re-elected, her impeachment does not appear imminent.

Lovettsville is that place still a town? Back in the seventies and eighties they rolled up side walks before dark. Now your concerned about not having sidewalks. Is there enought traffic other than on 287 to keep you from walking on the shoulder of the road?

The pittance offered by Elm Street Never would have paid for the sidewalks on East Broadway. Why did they not proffer more for the homes than they did for townhouses?  Quit shilling for the Mayor BM!

Everyone who bitches about the square or the sidewalks in town, raise your hands. Now, have you called VDOT, who is the reason for the square AND is negotiating with landowners to secure the properties for those sidewalks? Nope?
You are now officially idiots. The mayor is not a scapegoat. Call VDOT and heat their behinds up for the design of the square as well as delays in those sidewalks. While we are on the subject of sidewalks, how many know that we could have had the sidewalks a couple of years ago, had we only allowed upscale townhouses in the new development??The proffer for those townhouses was sidewalks thru out town. And the idiots in the town’s population scrapped the townhouses (on unfounded fears)—- and there went the sidewalks. Poof!!!!!

So the mayor is trying to lodge a complaint about campaign materials for an opponent she beat? 

What about this doesn’t scream “waste of time”?

It has long been my opinion that Mayor Walker has been in office too long - she has never addressed issues from 15 years ago - like the side walks??????Now that would be something to spend the towns money on so people can walk through town without risking being hit by a car.
Mayor Walker go home and stay!!!!!!!
by:  15 years in Lovettsville

Elaine walker needs to be IMPEACHED. She has lost touch of what it means to serve the people,and she concentrates on projects of no real importance while ignoring what really needs to be addressed. She actually fell asleep during the last meeting I attended!!! She really is pitiful at her job. SHE NEEDS TO GO!!!!

I have to agree!!  Doesn’t the town have more pressing problems to face than this?  Apparently not!  Pathetic excuse for a public servant.

She needs to withdraw and actually get some work done.  Stop wasting the towns money on nonsense such as this and do her damn job.
I further more make a motion to have her removed as mayor. IMPEACHED!! She needs to have her facts straight.
