Don't hurry back. It's resigned Public Safety Director Frank Straub's last day in office, after months and months of lameducking of the sort you or I would never get -- nor feel right about accepting were it offered -- if we quit our jobs.
Congratulations, sir: from start to finish, from the initial costly office redecoration to a plush "gummit parachute" on the way out, you have revealed (some of) the problems with IMPD. Usually inadvertently.
(Hat tip to alert reader -- um, you know who you are -- who caught this in the void-with-ads where we used to have a newspaper.)
Now if we can just get rid of Steven David and Barry O'Bama in November, it will be the trifecta.
ReplyDeleteYou can thank Google News for finding that one. Let's just hope he's actually retiring, and not moving on to screw up another city.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't jump for joy just yet. Remember, your local Political Hacks who run City Hall will probably appoint an Idiot who is just as bad to "Cover Their Butts." Surely you don't think that they'd get someone competent to replace him, do you? Quieter, probably. Better, not likely.
ReplyDeleteOOOPs, I Humbly Apologize. I didn't mean to call you "Surely."
Rob: Think "Spokane." Those poor, poor folks!
ReplyDeleteLes: Probably. Mayor Ballard seems to be easily dazzled by fast-talkers from the big city. ::sigh:: We're pretty sure he almost joined MAIG.
Spokane? Really? He won't likely last there.
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest that he also brought problems with the city gubmint to light, not just IMPD.
Ayup. Spokane. This is just after our wonderful years-long disaster of Karl Thompson and Otto Zehm, which is still dragging on.
ReplyDeleteIf Frank is one of the front-runners, I'm kind of scared to look up the rest of 'em.
I'll just leave this here....
