Subject: suspended officer Sgt. Jim Mauro was a no-show on Wednesday at the
opening day of his police service act hearing.!
What arrogance and at the same time stupidity suspended police Sgt Mauro is
exhibiting with his actions. If you were charged as he is, would you not show up
with your legal representative and defend yourself vs. Seeing the hearing
proceed without your presence.I applaud the officials overseeing this hearing
allowing it to finally proceed without him and his lawyer, Mauro in the end owns
that all by himself, he indeed does have a most hubris personality.!
Mauro can use his un-described illness to all concerned but I sat not all
that far away from him in a Robins coffee shop within the past month. He was
looking as he always has that being not all that sick and was talking up a storm
with the person he was sitting with, so how ill is he really.??
And now I will turn my attention to Mayor Hobbs and his calling this a
witch hunt, yet in reviewing the sworn testimony of police woman Julie Tilbury
she sure spells it all out vs. Hobbs feeble excuses of not being able to
remember or that he was working long hours on his girlfriends hair salon and had
a lung infection blah blah blah. Officer Tilbury clearly stated that Hobbs at
the time told here that if he found out who wrote the letter he would seek a
civil lawsuit against that person, Hobbs once again forgot this happened, how
convincible and honest was he really during his testimony is what I wonder. It
is no secret that Hobbs and Mauro are long term friends, maybe that has all
changed now, regardless Mauro and his antics have cost the taxpayers
approximately $350,000.00 in wages and benefits with his close to 2 year paid
suspension. So his family put out a statement to the media blaming the absolute
power of the police chief of the day Bob Herman for Mauro's situation, yet he
cannot bring himself to terms that his very own actions brought this entire
thing about, he did play a key role in it all but somehow he appears not to be
able to wrap his head around that fact.
So we will all wait until mid March to learn the final outcome of a process
that should be dealt with I would think a 6 month time period maximum.
Now we also await the outcomes of Sgt. Dan Taddeo as well officer Toni
Grann trials both in the provincial court and internally as well, more tax
dollars being wasted. The Thunder Bay police as of today have "4" ongoing
lawsuits and as of today we have 3 additional officers Det.
William Wowchuck, Det.-Const. Ron Popowich and Det.-Const. Brad Bernst who have been accused by the person they arrested
that the officers committed
assault and stole money from him during the arrest and a hearing will be done
and directed by chief J.P Levesque.
So
we may be looking at yet another lawsuit and maybe more possible suspensions
with pay of these 3 officers pending the outcome of the findings by the new
chief.
If
one was to add up the costs to the taxpayer of the Mauro, Taddeo and Grann
suspensions that dollar figure would be in the neighbourhood of $700,000.00 to
date, which too me is obscene.
