MORE Mold?
- Philadelphia police officers complained to city officials Tuesday that their stations are plagued with faulty heating and leaking up sewers insect infestations.
"You name it, we got it," said John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, which filed a grievance with the city hoping to put the issue in the hands of an independent arbitrator who could order that repairs be done.
The police group, which acts as the contract-bargaining unit for the city's 6,600 officers, has paid for some repairs itself, he said.
Police stations suffer from heating and cooling problems, sewers that backup and roofs that leak, he said.
Some are so infested with bugs that the police organization has sent exterminators to the homes of officers because of fleas and bed bugs they took home with them, he said.
Why hasn't Chicago had the national coverage that this is getting?

Shut them down, shut them ALL down!!
(Oh, that was from Star Wars; but those were the garbage disposals.)
If the public finds out cops are getting free bedbugs to take they are all going to want some.
The media don't care or a reporter might be working on a peace about molds and health issues in a future report.
Have FOP tried this tactic?
Maybe the city can find money to study molds for a science project for one of the schools extra curriculums.

Because the media in Chicago is controlled by the Machine/Mayors Office. They print/report what they are told they can report, ala "Pravda" style. When the mayor pisses on peoples heads the media reports that it is raining. Nothing negative about the politicians is allowed in Shitcago.
You can submit links to Drudge. That's where I saw the Philly PD story.
Who the fuck cares, Philly gave us j-fled, just desserts as far as I'm concerned.....
Chicago hasn't gotten this type of coverage because for the most part the local media is intimidated and controlled by our current and past Mayor. Shanks and Rahmbo are very good at intimidating and controlling our media.
Very sad but unfortunately very true.
Walsh Construction is a franchise?
Somebody who knows how to get it out there should do it--maybe the local media will cover it a little more in-depth.
OT: scc, why no thread on the union bosses stealing our pension money?? very interesting reading in the trib yesterday and today...

You are an imbecile that would repeatedly flunk logic. The fine officers of the Philadelphia Police Department had nothing to do with the lying coward J-Fled. He headed the local FBI office in Philly before we got fucked for 3 years by that vicious piece of shit.
Choke on a Philly cheese steak, Bozo.
Why hasn't Chicago media covered this issue? Because they are cowards and don't have the stones to confront these thieving politicians. They also are part of the problem and allow the lies to go on unchecked for kickbacks.
That's why.
OT: gooood BYE DTEB! and its good to know that we have rightous guys here that will stand up for the pushed around and downtrodden. After seeing poor Ernie being pushed around on this blog and others, possibly putting his appointment in Darien in jeapordy, Lt. Dom Rizzi(who works in DTEBS office) took his own time to ride out to Darien and come to his rescue! Im guessing look for Capt or Commander Rizzi in the near future! oohhhh but Im sure if DTEB trys to promote or take care of Rizzi as he goes out the door, Rizzi being the stand-up guy will turn it down. He was only in Darien to do the right thing. I almost threw up listening to his speech!

Here we go. It had to happen. Cops from all these cities comparing their mold to see who has the grossest or biggest. The police dept. had better get ahead of this. Chicago certainly wants to be number one in something. The city is deteriorating, our sports teams suck to high Heaven, and we still have over three years left of Rahm.
Coming in contact with dirty people, living in dirty buildings, doing dirty things is part of our job. I won't whine about that, but DON'T SCREW WITH MY SICK DAYS!
The media (with the exception of "The Reader") is deathly afraid of City Hall and the current occupant of the 5th floor.
Grow some balls the rest of you media types (esp Fran S) and report on what is truly important instead of boathouses.
People are dying and the 5th floor is more concerned about becoming the first Jewish President instead of what is right.
1. because Rham is the president's guy
2. because the president is dale'ys guy
Hey, I believe people at the Reader read this, SCC. If they want to increase their journalistic credibility how about a piece from them. What say you Reader staff?
Lets save the city billions,close all the stations,we could call in when we leave home be on the clock,take the CTA bus to all the calls look at the savings! Oh arrest,fuck it take them on the bus to the county let all the taxpayers see the scum that the welfare system produces oh the madness!
Walsh construction has not built any of the new stations.
Can anyone help out a CPD Copper with info on a good Attorney with stuff like this? Living in a building loaded with black mold, and building management refuses to do anything about it for several years now. SCC, Could you please post? Thanks.

How about someone from the Reader taking on this story?
Shanks and Rahmbo are very good at intimidating and controlling our media.
------------------------
I doubt they do either. The media just is not interested in actual news. They are interested in selling advertising.
You have to remember that the prime advertising market is to certain demographic segments. They shade their reporting to appeal to those segments.
You really think your average Oprah watching yuppie female cares one whit about mold in a police station?

Show some respect for our fellow officers in Philly. J-Fled had nothing to do with the PPD. Check your brain for mold while you're at it.
Area 2 is infested with Rats...
Has anyone asked the homeless and hapless how they feel about sharing the police stations with us? Maybe they don't want to be around us. The bedbugs, lice, and raoches are their little "pets". Would you want your pets hanging around with cops? Not me!

Rizzi is in 009 Dummy and is a stand up guy. He worked for Jackson not Brown. He and Brown are not friends, that's why he is in 009. Stick to reading the Blog not posting.
Probably because it's the Iron Curtain bullshit. Don't cast a light on it because it would maybe have folks question the fungus that is growing in ours, but ours occasional gets up and walks around.....
