04.15.08 Tax Deadline Day
Hope everyone got thier taxes finished and filed and still have money left to put a gallon of gas in the car.
Police Union Chief Aaron Hanson said that Muppet Mike and his cronies walked away from the table way to fast and declared an impasse in the contract negotiations with the Police Union. Hanson stated that the Union was preparing some concessions that would eliminate spiking and reduce the burden of the city in funding the pension fund.
Muppet Mike’s mouthpiece, Joe Guderath, stated that the negotiations had gone on long enough and the issues has been turned over to the Nebraska Department of Industrial Relations. Besides, getting this stadium dumped on the taxpayers before the election next year is our top priority.
Speaking of the new ballpark, MECA voted unanimously at their public meeting to support the NEW and improved stadium proposal. City officials are to meet with the NCAA next Monday and hope to hammer out a contract that will keep the CWS in Omaha to 2030. Zoo officials have been seen sneaking into Rosenblatt andstaking out the new dolphin pond and panda center.
Police have arrested a man and charged him with first degree murder in the death of 31 year old Teilo Wynne. The man and another suspect kicked in the door of a home near 42nd and L last fall androbbed the occupants. Wynne was shot to death in front of his girlfriend and her son. Another man has been charged with robbery but not murder.
We normally don’t cover stories outside of the state but this one we could not resist after one of our readers sent us the link to it. Some of you may have seen references to it on David Letterman a couple of weeks back.
A Bellevue OHIO man was arrested for lewd conduct for having sex with his picnic table. Yep you read that right picnic table. The man was seen several times walking out on his patio, turning the table on its side and using the umbrella hole all between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon. Hopefully the in-laws were not come over for lunch later.
Normally a misdemeanor, the man was charged with a felony because the table was under 18 years old, no because if his proximity to a local school and the fact that small children could have seen this. The man is married and has two kids. And people think we have some weird ones around here.
And a Council Bluffs Police Officer has been cleared of wrongdoing in the shooting of suspect Troy Giles. Officers were responding to a call of a suspicious person near the Super Saver on Broadway. They approached Giles who was sitting on a bench. Giles was on meth and his Blood Alcohol Content tested twice the legal limit to drive. He started to run from officers then turned and pointed a weapon at them when he was shot. Family members attempted to paint a different picture but they were bad artists and couldn’t get the correct color for the numbers on the canvas. The Officer will return to work shortly.
More later…………………………
