VNS
wanted to talk to School Superintendent Timothy
R. Jenney about previously unpublished reports that he'd
hired a school teacher, Maynard West
to build his luxury home at Croatan Beach. He
refused, and hid behind his PR skirts who tried to dodge questions
for him by saying the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
didn't apply to the questions. VNS
pointed out that if he'd been charged with murder, child molestation,
or assault, the FOIA wouldn't apply to questions about those issues any
more than it would to our questions. VNS
never made any requests for information under the FOIA
to Jenney. It was obviously an
issue he didn't want to tell the public about. Therefore,
below are some of the questions raised that we wanted to ask (or did
ask) and he
refused to answer. Jenney
contends that since he has decided VNS is not a legitimate news outlet, that
is his justification to not respond to the public about his
questionable, unexplained activities.
