From Brookland resident Jerome Peloquin:
My Testimony before the Zoning Commission, May 27, 2014
McMillan Park - Political Corruption and The Growth Machine
The culture of corruption that permeates DC City Government.
(these are not my words but the words of (Former Councilman and
convicted felon ) Michael Brown
As you will note from the testimony below, I raised the issue
at the zoning commission hearings where I testified as a member
of Friends of McMillan Park. Subsequently, I was interviewed
by the Editor of the "INTowner Magazine,' I provided copies of
both documents mentioned in this testimony including ...signed
and approved copies of invoices paid directly from DMPED to
EYA, the VMP partner responsible ... the Fontaine Group
invoices are clearly identified as is Jeffrey Miller's
signature in approval of those payments. Both the documents
and the invoices are available on the InTowner website!
Sworn Testimony of Jerome J. Peloquin.
Opposition to PUD 13-14 has been overwhelming in testimony
before this Commission. Who are the pro development advocates?
They are a handful of people who are listed in this strategic
document. They are the same people who have testified over and
over again. Rashida Brown, Barry Danneker, Cheryl Cort There
is ‘The Coalition for Smarter Growth,’ and who’s that? VMP and
Jair Lynch? The smallest coalition in the world! Then there
is, Create McMillan Park, a fraudulent organization created by
a conspiracy between VMP and The City. I have the proof here
in my hands ... Their stated purpose is, to quote “... to
provide cover for local politicians,” and to create community
organizations with the resources to support VMP plans. In
other words, they intended to subvert the political process.
VMP and DMPED actually hired a Baltimore PR firm; The Fontaine
Group. This is their strategic planning document and specific
invoices obtained under the FOIA laws that prove these
allegation. Invoices marked ‘paid’ and with Jeffrey Miller’s
signature. He lied in open testimony before Councilwoman
Bowser’s DMPED oversight committee. His integrity has been
compromised and he should resign.
It should be clear to all of us who oppose this travesty of
social, economic and environmental justice we are being
patronized by the city government at all levels of the system.
This includes the, so-called free press. Everyone in DC
government wants this VMP project. It is the avowed intention
of The Zoning Commission, The Office of Planning, and certainly
DMPED to make this happen. Every single agency, board, and
special agent will turn themselves inside out to find a
rationale for approving this theft of public land. It is an
organized and spontaneous cabal set in place by money and the
expectations of money ... the ANC’s, the non profits, the
salaried city workers in the agencies and departments ... no
one will stand up to the mayor and the VMP’s lobbyists. All
have been suborned by the fearful combination of money and
power and understandably so. They fear for their jobs and they
seek the strong inducements that the power elite can provide
e.g.. Job, investment, political advantage and all the other
inducements money can provide.
It does not matter that this project violates almost every
facet of the Comprehensive Plan, that it is clearly in
violation of the Secretary of the Interior’ guidelines, that
it has been based upon dishonesty and subterfuge, that they
mislead the Office of Zoning on their traffic study, that their
paid consultant mislead and misrepresented the condition of
the caverns, that Jeffrey Miller actually lied during oversight
hearings conducted by Council Woman Bowser denying direct
payments made by DMPED to the Fontaine Group.
No one, not one of the organizations tasked with protecting our
property will stand against this cabal, this growth conspiracy
... Why because hundreds of millions of dollars are involved.
We have only one force in this city that can thwart this
conspiracy and that is A Federal Judge.
