No Surprise Here #5879

Rep. Bob Valihura has a nasty temper. This I know because I attended one of his now-infamous hearings on the whole manufactured housing brouhaha and watched him slap that gavel down in a fit of nearly-uncontrolled rage. Now comes word that mister testy-pants got all uppity and shit and said some things he shouldn’t have. My question: Why is anyone surprised? I mean, the whole process has been a complete sham with Valihura at the helm. It’s become so ridiculous and is apparent that the good subcommittee chairman is looking out for the interests of only one man — his party’s former chairman Terry Strine, who has a big stake in the fight, indeed!

Poor Bob Valihura. Sounds like he really wants out. I can understand why. After November, he’s lose that chair position on any committee on which he serves. Republicans better watch out! They about to be cut up by the Dems!

Yes, I’m back from vacation. Gimme a day to decompress. Then I’ll be back on this bitch. For reals, yo.

    Way to go Bobby Boy….keep it up and you’ll be waving ‘bye bye’ to a judgeship for real. Proper judicial temperment is paramount.

  2. Al Mascitti says:

    As much as I agree with you, Mike, I don’t see how this rises to the level of being an “ethical” violation.

  3. Mike Matthews says:

    I don’t agree with that either, Al.

  4. Nancy Willing says:

    It rises to ethical if his behavior can be traced, as in keeping with the lobby position of Manufactured Homes Corporate Representative, ReyBold Homes President Jerry Heisler, and in as wanna-be Superior Judge-a -keeping with Power Dover DEMs and their pro-construction industry bias.

  5. Sam Carpini says:

    Rep. Bob is a sleezy Republican that is enabling his former commander access to the citizens money thru shady tactics. Throw them all out in November. Rupublicans on all levels are such scum bags. Why can Al see this shit?

  6. I love Booz says:

    Bye Bye Bobby, it was nice knowing you.

  7. Al Mascitti says:

    Nancy: Selling out to special interests isn’t an ethical breach. If it were, they’d never reach a quorum in Dover. If you’re saying there might be a quid pro quo here it would be different, but that would be virtually impossible to prove.

    Sam: I see it just fine. I just don’t think you can go after him with an “ethics” charge because he hollered and cursed at people. That’s not ethics, that’s manners. If being a prick disqualified people from public service, we wouldn’t be giving such a big pension to Tom Sharp.

  8. DanaGarrett says:

    Bobby V. was just practicing his judicial temperament.

    As everyone knows who has bothered to look at this story below the surface of the NJ article, the ethics complaint involves more than just the tantrums he’s thrown. That’s only the sensational aspect of it.

    The substantial part is his public misrepresentations that the parties are close on matters they never have been close on for which there is documentary evidence that I have in my possession.

    BV has tried to manipulate DMHOA into agreement through the public pressure of saying that they are close to agreeing when they haven’t been only to make it harder for them to disagree latter…making them out to seem like deal breakers. BV has not been an honest mediator of the negotiations he insisted upon.

    I’m sure Mascitti will have some sophitical defense for BV. He usually does…him and Lavelle. Maybe we can get Al to explain why he is protecting Lavelle by failing to either place as a podcast or give me a copy of the program in which Lavelle said that the people who live in manufactured housing can’t be trusted to pay their bills.

    Protecting the snobs, are you, Al? I’m glad that you get some experience of solidarity in your life.

  9. DanaGarrett says:

    One last comment for Al:

    working people, working people, working people, working people, working people

    –Al is now on suicide watch. He’ll explain why.

    have you heard this little attack against working people in Sussex. Appears a new law has passed that you cannot do any repairs on your home or property on weekends….yup…imagine how the elitists who dont give a damn about working people,who dont want to hire a contractor to do minor repairs are now prohibitied from doing that work on weekends.

    Wanna do a little work on the week-end…not in Sussex…the “banging” might offend the elitists who arrive on weekends and can afford to HIRE their repairs done from Tues - Thrus. The elitists have destroyed small contractors, and want to do their own work from doing so. Not in Sussex County. Can someone please tell me what elitist asshole came up with this?

    got a link of some kind for this

  12. DanaGarrett says:

    Yea, I want to see a link to that one also.

  13. snark says:

    Don’t know about all of sussex, but Contractors are barred from working weekends in Dewey.

  14. miscreant says:

    It’s not unusual for municipalities to restrict the hours of construction on weekends, and particularly on Sundays (which likely causes the sphincter of many an atheist to slam shut), but I’m not aware of any county-wide ban in Sussex. It does sound like something the elitist assholes in Rehoboth or Arden would do, though.
