Oh there is compensation all right. Just not the kind you’re thinking.

But they certainly lead someplace.


Trump also did 'just board appointments' and they took forward to weed out and fire over the past year. Like weevils in the ground. Not a good look.



And that’s why Glen Youngkin needs to immediately fire every one of these people on Day 2.

You would support that, right? Right???

Shady AF


Only if you haven’t been paying attention to politics for the last - what? - 200 years.


Couldn’t it simple have been shady for 200 years?

I wonder if Doyle is an old buddy from back when Ralph used to go to parties wearing a pointy white sheet?

John Powell of Roanoke- that’s it? Who is this guy?

And why is someone from Maryland appointed to a Virginia board?



Both good questions.

The sort of questions that an impartial media should be looking into. But since we have a media that is more interested in protecting and deflecting for Governor “Coonman” (his own words) that probably won’t happen.

No, but it begs the question “why now?”

Why with a week left to go, does he suddenly decide NOW is the time to fill all the vacancies? And being that Youngkin will be sworn in in a week, are these appointments subject to serving at the pleasure of the Governor, and therefore might be dismissed and replaced in a week? Do these appointments garner some kind of state pension status for serving for so little time? [/quote
It’s interesting but not necessarily an indication of wrongdoing.

He’s still governor so why not keep discharging his duties until someone else takes over.

Valid point.

Maybe this explains the debacle on I-95 last Monday where people were stuck in snow for a whole day because VDOT couldn’t find its own a$$ with a map and a flashlight.

Northam was too caught up in deciding whom to appoint to the Potato Board and the Peanut Council instead of dealing with a snowstorm.




Honestly, many here on DCUM support this idiot. I’d like to know why.

They will support anyone who’s a Dem. idiot or not. Being a Dem is all that matters.

Nope, I agree with you, these are people that just filled out the form requesting to serve on a board. No vetted knowledge is needed.

I agree, for instance the Town of Bedford just picks up trash and takes it to other places where the real waste management is conducted. It doesn’t take any expertise to let others do all of the management. Of course, there has been the mismanaging of public works in Bedford for years. If you’re someone’s buddy, you can get inside information on project bids so long time friends win each project. Oh, and interesting how town equipment disappears from the records and ends up on private property of town employees. Workers from the temp agency do not even show up to work, but management falsifies official records to show that they worked. Just ask some of the current employees who see this stuff and talk about it openly in public. The Governor should have the state police look into it.
