(He's back in, having had the other foot done now.) I was seated to his left, so I know what was going on.<br /><br />Reid came over <i>during</i> the Public Hearing to try to talk to me. I was there to listen to the speakers. (Then, Reid probably did think he was the most important person in the room.) Finally Reid said to me, "You support this, don't you?" I answered "Of course," and Greenmun left in a huff.<br /><br />Michael told me later that Reid was there to express his support for the Virginia Beach Horse & Buggy Association.Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-35740053129969066732010-04-18T12:02:29.117-04:002010-04-18T12:02:29.117-04:00That's correct.

Reid was the <i>only</i> disruptive person at the Summit.<br /><br />Yes, Moss works for the Feds, while most of Greenmun's work is under a Federal contract his company has. <br /><br />On the VBTA's anti-Regionalism, Moss works in Norfolk, while Greenmun's primary office is in Portsmouth.<br /><br />It's a textbook case of "Do as I say, not as I do."Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-28664653828043777972010-04-16T06:55:29.118-04:002010-04-16T06:55:29.118-04:00I love the government employee bashing.

And isn't Reid (gasp) a government consultant contractor??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-329112521936837952010-04-16T06:53:38.752-04:002010-04-16T06:53:38.752-04:00I waited for your post on this to report what my f...I waited for your post on this to report what my friend told me. Basically he said that Reid was extremely rude and disruptive, but did not go into the specifics that you did.<br /><br />Interestingly, he said that Reid was the only rude/disruptive one there. I would have thought more of the VBTA-ers would have been there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
