I agree with Wilson, Ballard wrongfully appointed New York Liberal Frank Straub (as Public Safety Director), wrongfully retained him after this mess came to Mayor Ballard's attention, and Mayor Ballard has accepted the corruption of Democrat Frank Straub, including his lies....

--Sadly, I cannot in good faith support Mayor Ballard's re-election.

Mayor Ballard, you have betrayed your oath as Mayor and as a U. S. Marine...you, sir, are NOT faithful. You have betrayed the trust bestowed upon you by election and are no longer worthy of public office.

Straub is up for a vote before The City Council December 20. Now that the City Council has this information, a vote to REJECT is the only proper thing to do.

Nobody can dispute that.

I hope our City Council does the right thing and REJECTS megalomaniac Frank Straub's reappointment!

Well, fug...I certainly have to agree with you this time.
But Ballard, like most of the other republicans holding office in this county, has decided it's more fun to get the benefits from being in office (tickets, parking, meals, etc.) or to play "one-upsmanship" against the democrats (who used to do the very same thing) than it is to PROPERLY represent their constituents.
There were MANY signs that Herr DOC-TOR Straub was going to be trouble, but republicans fell all over themselves to get him approved and hired.
Now we have a mess.

Art's right.

The buck stops with Ballard.

It is so sad that Ciesielski drank of the kool-aide and/or got the frontal lobotomy when he got promoted.
He was excellent as a deputy chief, and took very good care of his people. He was also always on the scene of a major incident, and demanded that his staff keep him abreast of events even on his days off or at night.
God help the department and the 98% of the officers who are excellent at their jobs.
