Typically I trust Just the News with just about any story, but they’re approaching this one from the wrong direction. I’m just outside of Lynchburg, and know all of the players well.

The press conference in question was called by Helgeson and Misjuns — two “agents of chaos,” so to speak — without going through the proper council channels. Especially Misjuns — he’s not to be trusted, in any way, shape or form. And why Helgeson has hitched his wagon to Misjun’s falling star is beyond me. (Though I can also relay a juicy, first-hand personal story about Helgeson.)

Turns out, the reason for the impromptu news conference — a lawsuit over “voting irregularities” in the primary — has been dropped. I’ve yet to see Helgeson or Misjuns run to the microphone to admit they were wrong and out of line.

Thanks for that; I thought I was missing something!

So two idiots tried to grandstand when a meeting was adjourned because of lack of a quorum and decided to be all "meMeME" about it and she kicked them into the hallway where they belong because the two bozos didn't file a request to talk to the reporters in the chambers, which the rules require.

Dang. I kinda like this woman.

Thank you for the inside dope! I love visiting Lynchburg, and wish I had moved there some time ago when I had a chance.

For any reading who have never been there, it is a leafy, hilly town with the James River running through it. There is a charming waterfront restaurant, business and hotel area, a stock of lovely old houses in the historic center of town, and newer suburbs and malls to the south and west. Liberty University is one of the largest businesses there. Down the road not far is Thomas Jefferson's retreat house, Poplar Forest—so charming and historic.
