Eugene Delgaudio 2013 Thanksgiving Message and News

November 26, 2013

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

WOODLAND ROAD NOW 4 LANES

Woodland Road is now 4 lanes from Cascades Parkway opposite Claude Moore Park to Atlantic Boulevard. This was done by removing out of town commercial vehicles that were blocking resident commercial businesses at that location.

Besides benefiting the companies paying taxes and their employees, shoppers going to the Dulles Town center shopping area have another easy route.

Previously, as Supervisor of Sterling District, I worked to make Davis and Shaw roads, respectively, four lanes where the road was previously two lanes to benefit the commercial areas.


THANKSGIVING WEATHER ADVISORY

The Sterling National Weather Service says Heavy Rain today and tonight.

LINK restocking for Christmas distribution programs
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED NOW AND DEC. 9 - 14

LINK will repeat the process on Saturday December 14th, but will replace the coats and clothing with new toys. As of today, LINK needs about 4,000 new toys for children newborn through 16 years old and 45,000 pounds of non perishables. It is a huge objective, but one God knows we can meet and possibly exceed with help from our Sterling community.

Volunteers are again needed to pick up food donations from schools during school hours located in Herndon, Sterling and Ashburn area and drop it off at either Christ the Redeemer or Trinity Presbyterian. This activity is required for the Christmas event between Monday, December 9 and Friday, December 13. LINK uses electronic volunteer calendars for many positions to make it easy for you to pick times that are convenient for you.

REPUBLICAN MARK MAY ASK FOR RECOUNT.

HIGH GOP sources say "Yesterday's state canvass posted no changes from the local ballot counting, confirming a 165-vote deficit for "our" Mark (Obenshain), which, to be clear, represents a 7/1000ths of 1% difference among the more than 2,200,000 votes cast. Now, should Mark request a recount as he is legally allowed, here's what might happen:

Hundreds of thousands of ballots could be scanned again and in many cases individually examined where the machines previously picked up a "no vote" in the AG's race." unquote.

It sounds to me that such a process would certainly produce a shift in vote totals. There would have to be with that many votes reexamined. The question then would be, how big is the shift and in whose favor?

You can read more in these two posted discussions about "recounts" to be helpful:

You might consider contributing to Mark at www.markobenshain.com. These post-election expenses were surely not anticipated, and we can't leave Mark high and dry. The other side, Loudoun's Mark Herring, has retained Al Franken's counsel who helped him overturn the Minnesota Senate election through a recount in which allegations of "fabricating votes" and "fantasy ballots" were introduced.
