During the public hearing for Rack and Roll's conditional use permit, where Brendel was once employed as a DJ, it was stated that nude pictures were taken of possibly underage girls. Why would be that no charges were ever filed? Why would it be that, based on the usage of the phrase "possibly underage", no investigation has been done to find out whether these girls were indeed underage? (By they way, if they were, that's felony child pornography.) Those questions need to be answered... ...and perhaps they will be, someday.

The SBE recommends 15% (roughly 825) signatures to ensure that enough are qualified. Details are here: http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/cms/documents/Skl_Bd_REF.pdf On the subject of corruption--it really is like cancer. Cancer, as you know, spreads and turns normal cells into cancerous ones. Corruption is the same way. That is why corruption must be dealt with early on--the longer it's allowed to fester, the harder it is to get rid of it.

Did someone comment that he was a bright person who got caught up in corruption? It's possible, I suppose, to get "caught up", but can you get "caught up" in pornography? Because of the corruption he somehow didn't realize how off that is? Do the parents in the scouts know about this? I'm sure y'all will see to it that he does not become a school board member, the thought of someone like that affecting policy for children makes me ill.

I'm not sure about that--Brendel strikes me as a pretty bright guy who made some really dumb decisions and got wrapped up in the culture of corruption we have here in the Park. Had he kept his nose clean and not getting wrapped up in that stuff, he could have done some great things. As it is now, he's in trouble. There is NO statute of limitations for what he allegedly did. It may not be tomorrow, or next year, it may be 20 years, but he will eventually pay the piper for his doings. Eventually, those who are protecting him from the consequences of his actions will no longer be able to do so. It must be a terrible burden on him to deal with that.
