It took the Loudin County (VA) Board of Supervisors an awfully long time to get around to censuring Eugene Delgaudio, but they finally did it:
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors took decisive disciplinary action against Sterling Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio on Wednesday night, issuing a strong condemnation of problems identified in a special grand jury’s report about the veteran public official last month.
In three separate votes, the supervisors moved to formally censure Delgaudio; to place his district budget under the control of the full board, except for minor expenditures; to remove his staff aides; and to prohibit him from serving on any county, local and regional committees.
The special grand jury looked into charges by a former staffer that he illegally used taxpayer-paid staff for his anti-gay fundraising activities. The grand jury didn’t hand down any indictments but…
…but the jurors took the unusual step of issuing a report that outlined a number of possible problems with the operation of Delgaudio’s public office. Those issues included the potential misuse of county resources and county employees; a suspicion of unreported campaign donations; a lack of focus on constituent services; a hostile work environment; and the blurring of lines between work done for his county office and his anti-gay, conservative nonprofit organization, Public Advocate of the United States.
Delgaudio used to be a regular feature of BTB’s Email of the Day, but his emails stopped showing up in my inbox at the end of 2012.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Thanks for the update on Eugene. I had been wondering why we hadn’t heard much from him. Perhaps he was telling the truth in his late-2012 fundraising emails after all: “if you don’t give me all your money now, I won’t be able to keep badgering you for more money.” We didn’t, so he can’t anymore.
But I suspect it was laying low while the grand jury investigation was underway.

It’s all those long-haired men with earrings at the warehouse. It’s their fault. They finally got to the board. Mwah! Hah! Hah! Hah!

SO KZ – we should assume Jim has to use a lot of conditioner and has both “day” and “evening” earrings? Because clearly Delgaudio has used his extreme powers of perception to realize Burroway is part of the evil agenda (sorry, Jim, your cover is blown).

If you saw my hair (or, more specifically, the lack thereof), you’d know I havent used conditioner in a couple of decades.

I, too, have been curious about the absence of emails from this buffoon. I kind of miss him, in a weird way.
Now, he has a fresh new load of fundraising fodder. His victimization has reached new heights (or depths, depending on how you look at it). The forces of evil, in the form of teh radical homosexual activists, have taken control of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors AND the legal system to oppress him and squelch his valient, quixotic efforts to … whatever it is he does.
The only way he can continue his fight (to make his yacht payments, or whatever) is if YOU send in more money!
