VIENNA, Va. (WUSA) — David Kellermann, Acting Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Freddie Mac, was found dead this morning.
Fairfax County Police officials tell 9NEWS NOW they responded to his home around 5 a.m. after his wife alerted them to his suicide.
Kellermann was 41 years old.
According to Freddie Mac’s website, Kellerman was with Freddie Mac for more than 16 years and named Acting Chief Financial Officer in September.
There has been chatter about this for awhile, but a (reliable) little birdy told me today it is a STRONG possibility and is being studied. Not sure if certain people are putting these whispers out there to scare the city into rushing things, or if they are serious but it would mean there would have to be a shitload of private investors involved in the venture. The plans also include it being built on the land adjoining the Cherapa Place.
I support the idea 110%. I have felt all along – if this is such a ‘money making’ venture for the city why couldn’t it be for private investors? I say it is about time the HAVE’s to put their money where their mouth is and prove it to us. And if you make buckets of money from the investment – good for you!
I also betcha it will be built for a Hell-uva-lot less and be more functional. The greatest benefit is not only would taxpayer’s NOT have to foot the bill and operating expenses, it will have an economic impact on our community that benefits all of us in jobs and tax revenue.
I say go for it!
Anybody else heard anything?
Even with the economy in the shitter, alcohol sales are up. I felt compelled to share one of my favorite sites on the internets  Modern Drunkard Magazine out of Denver. It was THIS POST about how to infiltrate the “drys” that made me chuckle. So here’s to all you teetotalers out there making our lives easier by following through and picking up our slack. I tip my glass to you.. or more specifically… away from you.. and down my throat.
As I suspected all along (even before I agreed to get on board with this) the city would consider challenging us in court. My suspicians got stronger when the City Attorney said he WOULD NOT give an opinion on the matter. Of course not, how can he challenge us if he would to publicly admit that what we are doing is OK? But finally, Councilor Costello brought it to a face;
Councilor Pat Costello said Monday there’s a “difference of opinion” about whether the group had a six-month deadline.
“When the petitions are filed, a determination will be made,” he said. “If it needs to go to court, it will go to court.
And that’s how a majority of this council and mayor treat their citizens, as the enemy. Ordinances, elections and citizenry initiatives are done to protect the interests of the citizens NOT the interests of beauracrats, that’s why this initiative scares the crap out of them, they don’t like their ill-informed decisions questioned. Yet they will shamefully use our tax money to fight their own citizens. We obviously need a housecleaning in 2010. The first thing our new mayor needs to do is replace the entire city attorney’s office.
I did find this part of the article humorous though;
City Council Chairman Bob Litz deferred comment to the city attorney’s office. Earlier this month, Litz said that Stehly and her crew had “played the game (and lost)” but had not made the deadline. Stehly responded Monday: “Tell Bob Litz the game is in overtime.”
Hey, Bob? How does that crow taste?
