<< Dennis, There is the problem. The CCP Safe department are basically incompetant and should be dissolved. Then those police officers can be back on the street doing real police work. By the way, rumor has it that that landlord you refer to knowingly rents to dealers in some of his buildings and takes "part of the action". Steve Meldahl Jordan (work) >> Keith says; Regurgitating a rumor, and alleging criminal conspiracy, is reckless, dangerous, and unfair. And, in classic gossip style, coyly withholding the name of the subject individual is a sad example of "dangling the fig leaf". I do not know this landlord; but I know demagoguery, and a possible slander. Everyone is entitled to "due process" and a presumption of innocence; even a landlord who has not been charged with a crime. I would think Mr. Meldahl, a landlord himself, would be a little more cautious before offering inflammatory hearsay. Keith Reitman NearNorth REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
