Parents should supply their own kids’ pencils for crying out loud.

One school in Prince William County expects parents to buy a laundry list of supplies to contribute to the ’school supply’ communal pot. It is one thing to buy supplies for your own kid, and to dole them out as the kid runs out. It is quite another thing to supply materials for those whose parents do not buy supplies.

My daughter bought about $30 worth of office supplies for her first grader. I told her not to turn them in early for ‘everyone’ to use. I also advised her to put his name on every item she sent in with him. I also followed up that directive to my school board member. I have not received a response yet.

I don’t mind contributing to a ‘poor fund’ since I no longer have children in school. However, I don’t think parents who are trying to get several kids ready for school with new clothes and supplies to have to provide for those who simply do not give a crap.

I would also be more willing to contribute to the poor fund if I didn’t see all these kids munching and schlomping on chewing gum every day and wearing high end shoes.

…And to think of how ridiculous it is to have to purchase all those extra school supplies on the multiple of lists the schools all put out into all the stores. There was a time when schools did provide atleast no. 2 pencils
and scissors. Why can’t the schools afford the basics in a standard supply room? …..Uh oh, must be the over priced salary Mr. Tom Debolt gets paid through our real estate tax. what a waste. Correction: Dr. Thomas Debolt
Okay, that makes me feel better already!!!

Who is going to do something about this and DEMAND action from those who should be enforcing the law? This is outrageous.

I just stumbled onto this story today and had no clue that MP city officials were so corrupt. This combined with the city’s pro illegal immigrant views is enough to make me move tomorrow. Its a shame b/c it could be a nice place to live…. instead its just plain shameful and pathetic!

This reminds me when I was at Ozzfest a couple of years ago with my son. We were in “The Village of the Damned” and the Nissan Pavilion workers were ENCOURAGING the girls to lift their shirts and when they did, beads were tossed at them. Next time you go to a concert at Nissan (or whatever it is called now), watch for this type of behavior from the staff - it’s pretty pathetic.

The FBI has the information on Kevin Brendel. Perhaps Kevin should consider making a deal with them to act as an informant and finally bring down this cult of corruption that has existed for a long time in Manassas Park. I hope you’re reading this Kevin. You might also want to request Witness Protection…you’ll need it now that your wife knows.

I think this whole mess makes it clear that Manassas Park cannot govern itself. It seems to me that when a child pornography cover up involves the planning commission, board of governors, and city attorney, that the whole government is corrupted and must go. As a Manassas Park resident, I would love it if we would become a part of Prince William County. At least PWC seems to be willing to take on the issues that are affecting MP.

“I would imagine you could call their personnel department and ask.”

I could, and knowing this city, I probably won’t get an answer unless I FOIA it, and even then I may not get an answer. Plus who is to say that the answer I would get is correct? I believe we’ve seen that the powers that be in MP are not above lying to accomplish their goals.

If they were, I wouldn’t be posting this comment in a blog entry entitled “Manassas Park Kiddie Porn Coverup”, now would I?

“All the superintendents in Northern Virginia make huge salaries. Call it capitalism.”

The one for MP is said to make much more than the one for PWC, and the one for PWC has about 10 times the schools to deal with…

“and puts blinders on when (Frank Burns of MASH) Kevin Brendel takes pornographic photos of our young teenagers”

They protected Brendel. For what reasons? I can think of two:

1)Brendel could be co-opted to vote the way they wanted, under threat of having these photos given to law enforcement. (Blackmail)

2)Brendel has something on them, and they agreed to protect Brendel to prevent him from talking. (A blackmail “stalemate”, if you will). They’ve got something on Brendel, Brendel has something on them..nobody talks and all is well.

Except that Crowhurst screwed up BIGTIME Monday and threw Brendel under the bus in his attempt to get RnR’s CUP permit revoked.

If Brendel has anything on the city, what reason does he have to protect them now?

MP Resident,

This information is a matter of public record. I would imagine you could call their personnel department and ask.

“a School Superintendent Tom Debolt that makes almost as much as the President of the United States”

I’d really like to see what evidence there is that this is the case. So far I have only heard this allegation from one person who ran for city council in 2006, are you that person?

I am not suggesting that this isn’t the case, only that if it is, there should be documentation to prove it that ought to be sent to admin@bvbl.net so he can put it here.

OOOOOPS - “Nifong.”

The proper spelling is Jailfong.

Don’t worry about this ruining your reputation. You are in competition with Illinois. We believe in equal opportunity crookedness.

Some members of this local city government works to serve itself better than it serves the community at large, because it is all part of the “pat eachother on the back network.” When Mayor Frank Jones appoints a School Superintendent Tom Debolt that makes almost as much as the President of the United States and puts blinders on when (Frank Burns of MASH) Kevin Brendel takes pornographic photos of our young teenagers, then there needs to be an investigation in their culture of corruption. This is screaming for attention!

“He looks like brother Kip from Napoleon Dynamite.”

Yes, he does.
