Sinking Tug Boat

If things couldn't get worse for Chief Heller.  A village board meeting was canceled due to the discovery of a letter that was allegedly sent to the Stickney village president. The three kings dropped off a nice stocking stuffer for us:

This isn't the first time we hear that the fire department isn't adequately staffed.  We know that it is mainly because no one, and we mean NO ONE wants to work with an incompetent Chief calling the shots.

The Big Swap 2.0

With the April election just a few months away, the fire chief Tom Heller is set to lose his job if a new village president is elected.  This could be why Heller is collecting signatures to run for office once again. But why would Heller want to run for village president again?  Maybe so history can repeat itself.  The last time Heller was voted in as village president, he pushed the fire chief out, stepped down and had Powell give him a job as a well paid fire chief. That was the original Forest View "Big Swap".  In order for Heller's new plan to work, the board would need to appoint an interim village president favorable to Heller when he steps down a second time.  Who will it be this time?  Who will Heller appoint as police chief? Will he keep the current chief or appoint Sticky Fingers Salvador Rodriguez?  Yes, Sgt Sticky Fingers was allowed to keep his job after stealing from the village.  Rodriguez and Heller have been seen eating lunch together which puts Rodriguez on the list of Heller cronies.

Why would we want more of the same garbage?
