The City: Its own bank breaker.

The Sun-Times reminds of us of why the city continues to turn its pockets inside out.

City building inspector admits to filing a false report on a porch inspection. 3rd floor railing breaks the next day. 9 year old girl falls to her death from said 3rd floor, which had been inspected by said inspector. Said inspector gets fired. And same inspector later gets his job back.

Guess the city didn't get enough of building inspector problems after last year with the 18 year-old scandal.

If one of us "contributed," as the city apparently alleged, to the death of a citizen, the city would string a noose before the litigating family could even get off of the phone. The city *quietly* (shhhh) "signed off on an agreement with that resulted in...suspension without pay for more than four months." The four months of pay obviously will cover the costs of the litigation.

We don't like lawyers/unions. We now believe that it's because we haven't been represented by the ones who represent building inspectors.
