I believe a class-action lawsuit over the inadequacy, insufficiency and flat-out cheating on this process will be next for Mayor Empty Suit and his fill-in the Hogster.

several people have seen that supposed email including myself. Unlike the FOP, FD 416 would never challenge the admin. 23 captains and only 7 spots

Hite's role in this mess should provide Hogsett the excuse he's looking for to get rid of him.

Either this particular group of IMPD promotion candidates is the biggest group of geniuses ever hired, or someone broke into the proverbial teacher's desk and got the test answers before the test. I'll admit that's a pretty good job of memorization presuming the test administrator allows nothing in the exam area prior to the test - no papers, no smartphones.

Any big city F.D. do not go any better. Rumor has it a African-American Battalion Chief distributed helpful information to a Black Association group with instructions that the information was not to distributed outside the association. This may have been information gained from his S.M.E. (Subject Matter Expert) part-time employment gig with those who administered the both PD and FD"s promotion process. Oh yeah, The discriminatory information was sent through F.D.'s E-mail system. One more pesky detail, our Chief may have known about this anomaly prior to FD's merit commission meeting and withheld that and other inconsistencies in test scoring the same as PD's.

Rumors are rampant that a now Battalion Chief was allowed to re-take the assessment center portion of the test due to "incomplete" instructions, originally only 27 of the 125 or so LT. candidates passed the initial written test so 18ish questions were "thrown out" to achieve a better ratio, Additionally, FD had some people who received exceptionally high 96% and above scores on the assessment center evaluation portion as well.

Has any local Fire Departments lost a recent court battle involving racial discrimination? I don't know..maybe?

No surprise here. IPD was always good at promoting exactly who they wanted.
