The former state lawmaker now making $157,210 in taxpayer-funded money a year to run a records office who ran a local business owner out of town over a Facebook post just got himself appointed to a state board by the governor.
Sounds about right.
Steve Landes, the absurdly overpaid clerk of circuit court in Augusta County, was appointed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin to the State Historical Records Advisory Board.
That board, per its website, is “the central advisory body for historical records coordination in the state of Virginia.”
The board works with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission “to advise institutions, create plans for historical records, provide assistance with grant reviews, and undertake statewide projects,” the website tells us.
With MAGAs like Steve Landes in charge, we can assume they’ve been busy rewriting history to take out the bad stuff.
Anyway.
Nice news there for our guy, who served in the House of Delegates for 24 years before leaving state politics to become the clerk of the county circuit court, which is also an elected position, oddly enough.
The move, coincidentally, sets Landes up to get a hefty pension, based on that embarrassingly high salary.
And makes it easy to lead the pitchfork brigade against a local business owner who posts mean things about the Dear Leader.
