In a singular demonstration of professional collegiality, Sterling District Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio and the woman he defeated for that office in the November 2007 election, Jeanne West, were the key spokespersons in the WUSA Channel 9 news report aired tonight at 11:00 pm. Both went on record to denounce zoning violations that have persisted in Sterling.

The backdrop for the story was this scene at the intersection of Johnson and Beech – which is right across the street from Jeanne’s house – where digging equipment and cable for the Verizon FIOS installation project have been illegally stored on a neighborhood street.
It was quite a surprise to see Eugene and Jeanne as the co-subjects of the news piece, but I think the profusion of zoning violations in Sterling has brought us to the point that everyone in the community needs to come together to seek a solution. Congrats, and THANK YOU, to the two of them for finding this common ground.
The news story did not touch on whether this was the same equipment that had been parked across the street from MY house several weeks ago. In fact, I am not sure if they even mentioned Verizon by name. But it’s a good start to bringing public awareness to this problem, which I definitely plan to continue pursuing.
The video is priceless and quite flattering to both of these esteemed public figures.
I can’t connect to the video but will try back later.
Kudos to Eugene and Jeanne on working together for Sterling.
video is consistently spotty for me in the same places each time
Good coverage- Thanks to both Eugene and Jeanne.
The 22nd is becoming a very important day.
I really like to see people working together for positive change, instead of jabbing acusatory fingers at each other.
The Monk is smiling.
I hoped this story would bring a bit of joy to everyone’s holiday weekend. It’s reassuring that we don’t have to be at each others’ throats all the time.
