The Page County, Virginia landfill scandal is a powerful example of how government touches our lives – with bribes, nepotism, Mafioso connections, abuse of the poor and the uninformed citizen, and just plain jackbooted ugliness. This demonstrates how ordinary citizens and taxpayers are abused by a notion that governments – even local governments – are sovereign, all-powerful and can join with criminals to rape the public, without the slightest fear of punishment.
My dad had read a book about our county, Page County, VA that I have been looking since 2004. He had borrowed it and given it back, and has quoted from it several times. I can't find it on the net, but here is an article that mentions some of the subject matter.

It is an ugly thing, but I believe it. As I get older, I see more and more evidence that an "evil few" are abusing, cheating, stealing and murdering the rest of us. I remember living in Page County in 2004 and about half of the county got sick from the water. It was documented how medical waste was dumped into the landfill, now I cannot find this documentation.
Now, I like to focus on the positive, so I will continually update this article with remedies to this situation as I see them come about. This may not happen in my lifetime though.
Update: Articles about Marvin seem to be disappearing from the net... For example: the story about the death of Marvin's babysitter are systematically being removed from the net. I read the article from the Washington Post's web site when it first came out, but now it is gone! Here it is from another web site.

Update: I finally found a couple references to the book mentioned:
Kieloch, Edward A. - The corrupt county : corruption's
crooked trail through the Shenandoah
Valley
There is apparently a sequel too.
Kieloch, Edward A. - A year later : Sequel to
"the corrupt county"
I can't find a copy of either anywhere and these references were very difficult to find too.

 Jonah William - Owner at Tessier Marketing - I thought I was well versed in social media before I found Teo. He has helped me round my skill set with great information only he seems to teach. I went on the web and looked for it later, but it's just not there. The ShareThis.com counters for instance, which definitely don't work right... can't find that anywhere, but it's easy to prove once you know what to test for! Teo really has a way of getting to what works and what works best! - March 17, 2012, Jonah was Teo's client |
