Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number

According to the Street Committee, the newly appointed Chief of Police, Stoney Mathis, has had a rude awakening. It is alleged that Mathis attempted to either demote or force Deputy Chief William Rawn to retire because of his age. The street committee has learned that Rawn has filed a Fair Treatment complaint against him. The word on the street is there may be a lawsuit on the way.

Word on the street is that the flowers Councilor Tucker had on display at a recent city council meeting may have been sent to her by the Chief of police. We hear that Councilor Charmaine Crabb received a bouquet as well. If so, the street committee wants to know what’s up with that?
