Letter: Wheeler should hold town hall on Devlin Tech Park

Jackie –

As I sit here reading your comments, I said to myself, “wow what is she talking about”.

First, let me share that your statements are 100% Invalid and inaccurate. Bill Wright is an amazing individual who has and continues to fight for what is right. It seems you are finding it difficult to grasp things, so I must ask myself, “what rock has Jackie been living under for the past few years”. With that being said, I feel compelled to share some facts with you since you seem to spew stuff with no facts:

1. Bill Wright has been and continues to be an engaging and supportive advocate for all residents within the Gainesville and Brentsville Districts of Prince William County. Is he vocal about the current situations this board has placed upon the residents, 100% and for that I applaud him for his efforts in working to preserve and protect Western PWC.

2. If you feel that his advocacy for the residents and this area is self-serving, you could not be farther from the truth.

Now let’s focus on some key facts:

1. Has Ann Wheeler and her crew made atrocious decisions that will forever change the lives of at least ½ the residents in PWC – 100%. She and her crew sit on the dais listen to developers present their Plans for development that is 100% skewed to what the developers want with absolutely no understanding on what they are approving.

2. Ann Wheeler has publicly stated (recorded meetings) on more than on occasion that they didn’t fully understand an application that was presented/approved and didn’t realize the impact, she has also gone so far to state – “we made a mistake”.

3. For the “mistake made” that was directly aligned to the Hunter Trust Property owned by Chuck Khun, where Ann and her board approved 70’ Data Center industrialization surrounding an entire community where those 70’ buildings will be 100’ from people’s property – This is 100% irresponsible.

4. There have been a multitude of other zoning approvals that will forever change the quality of life for many residents within Gainesville / Brentsville District, all at the hands of the greedy politicians who have absolutely NO regard for the residents impacted.

5. During public comment time, this board sits and listens and for Ann I am not sure she is listening she may hear people speaking but in NO way does she listen nor care what people are saying. ½ the time her head is down and again she doesn’t pay attention – that was plainly obvious when during public comment time, she was head down when the gentleman collapsed and had to be nudged and told what was happening, why because she truly doesn’t care what residents have to say.

6. Now let’s discuss her disregard to numerous requests for a Town Hall meeting, the articles published stated the facts and the statements made by Wheeler, she doesn’t intent to nor does she care to participate in “any” townhall meetings with “those people”. Well, “those people” are her constituents and residents whom she was elected to represent – the statements made by Wheeler are very telling.

7. She has time in her schedule to meet in secret with Developers but doesn’t have time to meet with residents – again very telling.

8. Now to the political race, she was asked to participate in a public debate with her Democratic Opponent and I believe she said something like, I am not going to do that, and I don’t see value (may not be 100% accurate but pretty darn close). I find it fascinating that she can say that given that debates have long been part of any political campaign process, heck the presidential race for the USA does it but Wheeler won’t. I continue to ask myself “why” is she scared? Is she worried her true self will be front and center for all to, see? Does she feel she is above that or that is beneath her, and she believes she is a shoe in for the election and will win? All questions everyone should be asking “WHY”

In closing, truly hope you take the time to understand the issues in play vice spewing your false and slanderous statements about Bill Wright.

How fitting is this? Now Potomac Local News reports that our imperial Chair refuses to debate her opponent, stating: “I just don’t think it would be very productive, and it’s not the kind of forum I want to participate in at this time”.

She must have been watching too much of that coronation TV coverage and got the idea that her role is merely to wave at us from her gilded carriage. Interacting with commoners is so beneath her exalted status.

Now we know where the “Queen Ann” nickname came from.
