The hits just keep on coming for Detroit...
#1
Detroit is having it's issues as many of you may know. But just this AM the Chief of Police was suspended for having an affair with a coworker after she found out he was at a conference with yet another woman and posted to Facebook (or Tweeted, I'm not sure)! Then she posted about killing herself so she was suspended and her weapon confiscated!
Now the employees of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department are going to be fired after they went on strike to protest looming layoffs (this follows a report saying the W&S department was overstaffed and could reduce that number by something like 80%!) and subsequently refused a judge's order to return to work after ruling that the strike was illegal.
What a mess... Let's cheer for those Tigers!

The motto here in Cleveland is " At least we're not Detroit!"

Every city has it's issues. Cleveland and Detroit don't own patents on municipal troubles.

The latest from the local news is that the Chief has been suspended for 30 days. He tried to end the relationship but the woman didn't like it so she went public! Hell hath no fury...
And in the Kilpatrick corruption case a juror was replaced because she kept falling asleep during testimony.

San Fernando takes the cake though:

Local news video coverage: http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/Godbe...index.html

What is so amazing is that his predecessor, former Police Chief, Warren Evans had an affair with another officer Monique Patterson (and was fired) and current chief mentioned above Chief Godbee had an affair with her too. (Perk of the Job-maybe?)


Evans posted this on Facebook:

“Maybe someone can help me with the Mayors mathematical equation and thought process:
Single man openly dates single woman = forced resignation
Married man has affair with single woman=promotion to Chief
Married man has another affair with married woman=30 day suspension.
Married man has no clue about fighting crime or fiscal management
Single man reduces crime significantly and saves money.”


Interesting...
