IDI and the CIB are nothing more than make work entities for political hacks and cronies. Now these organizations might actually have a need to exist, but it is obvious to me that they are used to line the pockets of the connected using taxpayer money.

It is funny how folks get upset at their firefighters and cops asking for more money, yet only a few care about these folks at IDI and the CIB raking in the money.

Now I know why the cops and firefighters got municipalities by the balls everywhere. They keep the peace, throw stuff like this our in front of heads of state, then demand to know why a cop's work isn't worth $50K, then $55K/year, then $60K/year.

Paul,
I know he has been Town Marshal for Homecroft for years, and I know he was working for the Sheriff Department prior to 2007 and still works there.

I know he had an Office at IMPD Downtown Roll Call until the Mayor took control over IMPD again. He also had an Office at the Indpls Public Safety Training Academy, and at IDI.

Hank "Fatso" Bosworth is the "Bike Patrol" coordinator???

Please, Gary, post a picture of Bosworth on a (heavy duty) bicycle!!!!!

Now for conflict of interest: How can he earn a large salary on the public dole working for Sheriff Frank Anderson AND MAKE $50K working for IDI???

Sounds like a job for the U. S. Attorney!

Actually if you're consistent, Zahn's compensation approaches $200thousand as she gets over $13,000 contributed to her employee compensation plan. That amount was included with regard to the other IDI officers and employees.

Baloo, the tax return unfortunately covers only 2007. So I dont know that Bosworth was working the three jobs during that time. But I suspect he was working at least two full time jobs.

Hank does a lot of good. I see IDI Bike Patrols every time I am downtown... (rolls eyes)... That is sarcasm in case you could not detect it.

If digging was done on Hank, you would find a lot of skeletons in his closet.

High on Ted Bulthaup's list is the IDI....

He's the Hollywood Bar & Filmworks guy.

It's time to write him. He knows where to find IDI skeletons.

I've got his email if you guys don't have it.

When does Hank sleep? Anytime he wants! Who's going to try to do anything about it. (The last sentence was NOT a question. It was a statement of fact.)

The moonlighting continues, along with any perceived conflicts of interest as long as it is kept private out of public light? Didn't we just go through this with the metal recycling drama?
