As the leader of the Board of Supervisors, this politician has transformed a part-time role into a full-time position, all while living mortgage-free on a family farm. He frequents the Berryville Governmental Building, where he seems more focused on gathering gossip and courting developers eager to build homes in a county that has maintained its rural character for centuries. When he’s not at work, he pressures residents to “hire” him for lawn care, only to sell their grass to farmers without sharing any profits. His title as Chair of the Board of Supervisors intimidates citizens into compliance, leaving them feeling they have no choice but to accept his terms.
Weiss has a reputation for vindictiveness, which keeps many from seeking alternatives. His questionable ethics came to light when he was involved in a car accident while smelling of alcohol. Despite the Sheriff arriving on the scene, he faced no charges—a clear indication of the collusion within local law enforcement. Fortunately, his wife was at home during the incident, and the other passenger in the car was unharmed.
Shortly after a visit from Senator Schumer, the county saw a surge in subdivisions—an expensive and inefficient way to expand the community. This method benefits local officials through kickbacks from developers, while homeowners are left with higher costs.
Local businesses, especially wineries and breweries, can attest to the consequences of crossing Weiss. He has a track record of attempting to sabotage those who oppose him, demonstrating a troubling pattern of behavior that raises serious concerns about his leadership and integrity.
