Leeches Turn Aggressive At InsolvenCity Water Authority; Where's A Flashlight When Needed?

The leeches congregated among the underground slime and dark sludge of InsolvenCity's water authority appear to have become aggressive. The solution would likely involve an investigative flashlight (controlled, this time, by someone other than the politically compromised, personally conflicted and morally bankrupt). A reasonable over-under on how many people might be incarcerated after a legitimate investigation would seem to be 2.5.

On the other hand, we wouldn't be surprised if a meeting concerning this very subject, involving the elected official who is the natural candidate to conduct such an investigation, has already occurred.

UPDATE: Rich Lord, Joe Smydo and Tim McNulty lack subpoena power, but they can be handy with flashlights, as if on cue.

UPPERDATE: Speaking of handy, InsolvenCity solicitor Dan Regan provides (inadvertently, we assume) a useful signal concerning the value of what follows when he introduces his legal opinion with "To our knowledge . . . "

Maybe you could do a ServePGH thing like the mayor. Instead of mentoring sixth graders, you could depose people.

I'll still beat them to it.

You don't see everyone eventually settling their claims and moving on to the next thing?

Ummmm, that picture gave me the creeps!

It's not often that I question your picture selection, it's usually as good as your jukebox...

Perhaps I just don't like leaches!

Michael Kenney has already been deposed (as in removed from office; not sure about any deposition . . . yet).

He's had his deposition taken. Just look at the filings, assuming they are not sealed, in the court case.

I got bit up by leeches once in India. Felt like mosquitoes, and then I saw the blood.

He actually has a good education but the reason Luke picked him was his law firm was the best in town at setting up nuisance bars espeically on the Southside.

I've been complaining about ULS's performance. Didn't do much good.

Yo, Infy! When are you going to pdf the bankruptcy filings so we can all read them? Got to be some broke ass "Grant Street Plumbers" like Klingarooney on the debtor's list of creditors.

And how about that Planning Commish, Kirk Burkley, Esq. popping up as the Chapter 11 lawyer for ULS.
Who's your daddy Kirk?

You spoiled, previewed or cancelled tomorrow's analysis of Kirk Burkley's role. Can't decide which.

Please don't cancel the Burkley analysis. Inquiring minds want to know.
