If rumor be true, then another shoe is about to drop on the Virgin Mayor as the result of an FBI raid over a fundraising event he held last year.
The Virgin Mayor apparently pressured school officials to buy and sell tickets to the event at $1,000 a pop.
This came about the same time the Virgin Mayor and his son hacked into the website of their political enemy in February 2012.
The raid, if true, puts even more pressure on the Virgin Mayor to resign.
Between yesterday and today, other stuff has happened.
I had intended to highlight a somewhat vague poem (none of her poems are really vague) she had posted, and will, but she has since posted one much more specific. Between the two and other information, we might get a glimpse of what transpires behind the scenes.
The outgoing public safety director told my Freeholder friend that RR has been running the police department with the blessing of the Virgin Mayor, make the police director completely useless.
“I told him it made him look like crap and it did,” the freeholder told me. “And he looked bad. He had gained weight and he looked stressed.”
I kept wondering if there was another reason for the Public Safety director’s stress, and if this was the mystery man to which her poems over the last few months referred. No way to tell one way or the other.
The public safety director told the freeholder that RR was issuing questionably legal orders that he – as public safety director – could not in full conscious follow.
“I told him to get the fuck out of there,” the Freeholder said.
Could this explain some of her poems and Facebook comments that called someone a liar? Did she mean RR?
The public safety director is an extremely nice man, someone else told me, “a very personable guy.”
It is no wonder she took to him right away, a man who actually lived up to her concept of hero, an old fashioned kind of cop she would naturally turned to when wounded.
It is possible that he confided in her when all hell broke loose and she found herself conflicted between her loyalty for him and for RR, and may overtime began to see RR for what he really is: a scoundrel.
As street savvy as she comes off at times, she is equally naïve, throwing herself into new adventures with a sincere belief that they are “right and true,” this including her new job.
Only it is difficult to work in an institution where you are forced to choose between loyalties, especially if as her poems suggest she is also in the midst of an emotional conflict.
She wanted to get inside the “in” group, not realizing that this is the kind of thing that transpires as political figures make their move to gain more power.
All this comes ahead of a state report that claims there is massive corruption in the Virgin Mayor’s administration.
People may well be scrambling to get out of the way.
Some of all this seems reflected in the tone of her poem in which she wishes things had turned out otherwise.
Although I have a better analysis of the poem elsewhere, it is largely about her being jerked out of her assumptions, thinking she was part of something significant only to find out differently.
She wonders what happens when what she perceived is spoiled by reality, a dream turned to dust, and she deluded herself even when she clearly knew better, “foolish optimism” she had no right to think.
She then looked to those deceptive people “double life” who make up her life, perhaps alluding to RR, or to the married man she hoped to make a life with.
She assumed they were trustworthy. She trusted them thinking there was more to all of this, financial success or maybe even love. Now, she’s caught up with these people “in tow,” “dragged” and “labored” into consequences (criminal charges?) she was not apprised of, “have no right to know.”
All this suggests maybe they keep her in the dark, but that they assumed she knew what was going on, and that she had no right to believe she would get anything out of the arrangement. (my analysis of this poem comes up with different interpretation, but I leave this in just the same as possibly valid.)
It is possible, she is scared about how all this might come out, how it might impact her.
