DOMINION POWER
BUYS BIG MONEY AD
IN
WASHINGTON POST

Not only does the Washington Post Company have a financial interest in the success of Dominion Power's proposed transmission line and Lake Anna nuclear reactor, but it also received Dominion cash for a full page ad in yesterday's A section.

DOUBLE STANDARDS
IN THE
WASHINGTON POST/GAZETTE
DEMOCRAT PROTECTION PROGRAM

Weeks after the drunk driving arrest of Democratic House Majority Leader Kumar Barve and a bizarre vehicular incident involving Montgomery County Council member Marilyn Praisner, we have unanswered questions and no reporter is seeking answers.

Where is the Kumar Barve mug shot?

Where is the police cruiser video of Kumar Barve failing sobriety tests at the scene of his arrest?

These films would be a political disaster for Mr. Barve; is that why the press is withholding them?

On the Marilyn Praisner incident, in which Ms. Praisner struck another vehicle, then crashed less than 15 minutes later in a second accident... where is the investigation? What are the details?

Was Ms. Praisner driving under the influence of prescription drugs?

Would the average citizen be able to cause this much vehicular mayhem in 15 minutes and not be charged?

I dare say, we are dealing with a double standard here and it is the taxpayer's dollars paying to clean up the Barve and Praisner messes. Don't we then have the right to know all of the details and examine the evidence from both incidents?
