Opinion

To Doug Stanley and Members of the Board of Supervisors

I am writing to you all for requests of information.

  1. Doug Stanley, the citizens of Warren County deserve total honesty and transparency. I am requesting a list of all real estate holdings, LLC partnerships, and/or other business holdings you are a member of. If you truly only have a house and a lot located in High Knob, wonderful, however if you are a silent partner in any land holdings such as 707 Properties LLC, Heptad, etc. This disclosure needs to made sooner than later.
  2. Doug Stanley, the request is made for you to disclose any personal or familial connections you have with Cherry Bekaert LLP and/or any of its’ past or present employees/owners/investors/board members or family members of any of these people, etc. The April 1, 2019 EDA press release states you and Greg Drescher chose Cherry Bekaert LLP as the auditor.
  3. Board of Supervisors, leaving out Tony Carter as he has been the liaison to the EDA and is eyeball deep in this mess. I ask that you put the brakes on the EDA Civil Litigation and the ever-mounting legal fees of Sands Anderson Law Group. This civil suit was hastily filed and full of errors, errors that were guided by the $600,00 Cherry Bekaert LLP “Investigation”. As we have found out from the working papers, Cherry Bekaert was given a very limited scope of investigation and only certain paperwork that pointed to targeted individuals. Right now, we are throwing good money after bad. Please call the FBI, Virginia State Police, Justice Department and let them take over the entire investigation. As it appears right now, the EDA Civil Suit is a sham being funded by the taxpayers to protect the big dogs, which is not in the best interest of the citizenry.
  4. Dan Lenz, the department head of Parks and Rec needs to be investigated immediately as he was aware for over a year of the sexual misconduct occurring at the Front Royal Golf Club. A female inmate claiming rape cannot be ignored. THIS IS A FELONY and no one will look into it WHY? I insist you act and prosecute! Women Matter and the way it looks Warren County has a double standard in regards to gender on many levels and instances.
  5. Lastly and this is a big one, Board of Supervisors, I ask that you request your colleague, Tony Carter to step down from his position of Supervisor for the Happy Creek District, as he is committing non arm’s length transactions by holding all Warren County Insurance Policies.

I also request you, the BOS to place Stanley, Whitten, and Drescher on administrative leave until you can do an internal investigation as to the depth of the involvement these individuals have in the EDA Scandal. Bob Childress will do a fine job leading the county while these men are being investigated. He is very capable and honest. He will not play Stanley Clause with hard-earned taxpayer money.

Supervisors, you have the power to do this and it is the right thing to do. Mr. Murray you ask us to pray or take a moment of silence at the start of each meeting, I am asking you and your colleagues to do the same thing. Lead us down the right path and stop the evil that is at work in our community.
