BATTLE JOINED Follow-Up: All Quiet On the City Hall Front

I recently spoke with Brian Tubbs, President, Franklin Little League, regarding the $920 that was stolen from the league and whether the league plans to file charges. Mr. Tubbs assured me in no uncertain terms that he will be pressing charges against the Franklin resident accused of this theft.

Mr. Tubbs also provided me with a number of details surrounding the theft—some off the record, which of course, I will not discuss until they become public record. In the meantime it will be interesting to see whether political influence from City Hall will intervene to prevent “one of their own” from going to trial. Based upon what I have been told, a plea agreement seems totally unnecessary and would not serve justice.

Finally, as of this writing the “perp” is still being shown as a member of a Franklin commission that is involved with fees—not very smart in my book. My email to the Alderman represented on this commission, asking whether under the circumstances, the “perp” will be removed from this commission, has gone unanswered since Tuesday.
