ATTORNEY FOR SUPERVISOR DELGAUDIO FILES MOTIONS FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES AND TO RETAIN SECRECY OF GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS

On Friday, July 17, 2014, Charles L. King, attorney for Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio filed a motion for reimbursement for attorney's fees and costs incurred defending the removal petition filed by the Citizens of Sterling activist group.

A motion to retain witness testimony from the recent Special Grand Jury investigation, under seal, was also filed.

Actual Motion to Award Fees and Seal Grand Jury

Motion for Fees

Commenting on the fee motion to be heard on Friday, July 25 at 2:00 p.m. in the Loudoun County Circuit Court before the Hon. Paul F. Sheridan, Charles L. King said: ... "Given the unusual nature of this case, I believe the $34,503.64 requested is reasonable."
....

The Proceedings of the Special Grand Jury

Commenting on Supervisor Delgaudio's decision not to seek public release of the transcripts of testimony from members of the Board of Supervisors, current and former staff, King said: ... "The transcripts should remain under seal because of derogatory comments made by several Supervisors. There were unkind words said about other current Supervisors, former Supervisors, Republicans, Democrats, one person who is deceased, two people in very poor health, people who have moved away and members of the community who have no relationship to this investigation. One Supervisor in particular made a number of allegations."

"Were these comments released, the persons mentioned would have little or no ability to defend themselves against irrelevant, unsubstantiated, probably untrue, allegations."

"To the extent he can, Supervisor Delgaudio wants to spare anybody else the ordeal he has endured. There is no point in hurting those who have no information pertinent to any of the allegations made in the removal petition. For this reason, the transcripts should remain under seal."


It's appropriate that Delgaudio's attorney charged a discounted fee, for the document actually says, "To the extent he is able to do so, Supervisor Delgaudio does want another innocent person to endure what he has gone through." Yes, really. Bottom of page 6. If Delgaudio's websites are any indication, the court can tell Delgaudio it won't award him anything until he can turn in just one document without typos or other mistakes, and he'll never get a penny.

I can just imagine why Delgaudio wouldn't want anyone seeing what was in those transcripts.

Fed up? Fight back!

Subject: Fed up? Fight back!

Dear Fred,

I see them almost every day as I read the news now.

No doubt you've seen them too.

Headline after headline...

...Story after story.

Christian business owners, members of our armed forces, churches, schools, everyday Americans like you and me who have had their Religious Liberties sacrificed at the pagan altar of the Homosexual Lobby's radical agenda.

Just last week, I wrote to you about a private college in Massachusetts that was punished for simply asking permission to hold true to its Christian creed and beliefs.

As the president of Public Advocate, I've been the subject of many similar stories.

Most recently, the radical Homosexual Lobby tried to force me out of my job as a humble public servant.
....

That's why I'm writing you this email.

Today, I'm launching Public Advocate's Religious Liberty Defense Fund.

My team has crunched the numbers and Public Advocate needs to raise $30,000 by Thursday, July 31st just to maintain the critical campaigns we are already running.
