This is a Problem

A rather LARGE and obvious problem:

• Tonight's FOP meeting produced an admission every Lodge 7 member should be paying attention to.
  
  
  President John Catanzara brought out the attorney — the same attorney our dues are paying $450 an hour — to discuss the forensic audit. Members were told that, so far, they “don't believe” misappropriation of funds has occurred.
  
  
  Then a member asked a simple question: Were personal purchases made on the FOP credit card?
  
  
  The attorney acknowledged that there were a number of personal expenses charged to the FOP credit card, but characterized it as more of a  “policy issue.”

Um....that's NOT a "policy issue," no matter what language a paid liar lawyer dresses it up as.

That is corruption, that is misappropriation, that is Theft by a strict interpretation of the ILCS. 

You don't get to use Union Funds for personal purchases. Period.

But hey, what do we know? We were only cops for nearly thirty years.

Tell you what - release the credit card statements that the membership has been demanding for years now and let's put all this scandal-talk to rest once and for all.
