This is very "off topic" but I feel compelled to share this. I'm curious as to any feedback. These are pretty serious allegations, that seem to rise all the way to the mayor's office itself. And I know that as U of L fans, we are at times directly impacted by decisions made in this office. So ... there's my attempt at trying to make this somewhat topical ...
For any attorneys out there -- what are the legal ramifications for obstructing open records requests? I have no idea, but I'm curious ...
Linked the piece for you. It's long ... here's the last couple paragraphs, for those who like the USA Today or twitter ...
After all that, Fischer and crew promoted Brosko to work in his office and have taken great pains to cover the scandal up. They also tried to hire another abysmal director, until we revealed her mess publicly. His staff ? government officials paid for with your tax dollars ? are now attempting to retaliate because they know we're blowing the lid off the LMAS nightmare once again.
In all these eight long years of covering corruption at Metro Animal Services and within Metro Government, this takes the cake. It beats everything we've seen and our investigations have directly resulted in the firing of several directors, don't forget. It's worse than all of that. It's worse than Gilles Meloche injecting air into the hearts of animals instead of humanely euthanizing them. It's worse than throwing freshly killed animals into the city dump instead of incinerating them. It's worse than sexual harassment scandals and legal settlements. It's worse than Wayne Zelinsky and the escort service shenanigans. It's worse than Jackie Gulbe stuffing an elderly, overheated dog into a suitcase to take it to the shelter (yes, that's why she was let go ? we've already proved it). It's worse than Margaret Brosko damaging someone's vehicle with an LMAS truck, which was verified by LMPD and Metro Government, only to be covered up and whitewashed.
This is the worst thing we've seen from LMAS because we finally have evidence that everyone from Greg Fischer on down are mismanaging the troubled agency while violating the law in an attempt to withhold information from the public. All in an attempt to whitewash reality and make themselves look like they're doing a stellar job. Everyone involved ought to be prosecuted, fined, fired and held responsible. It's just tough to have faith in anyone with an ability in government to do the right thing.
