At Street Level 472

 

 
 
Source was peeping my blog, and somebody who got beef with Chief Rivera gave me a tip about 2 East Chicago Poe-Poe involved in arson cases? Right away, Street called another source and told him, "What was I smoking on?" This cat leaned forward. "Who told you?" Source probed. “You know I can't tell my source." And that was that. Usually, when they give you the "who told you?", it means I'm on to something.

At Street Level 471

 
 


    Tired of biting my tongue. Once again, talking to Marc Chase, who was singing the blues. “We have reporters getting gifts,” He started. “No shit," Street went along. “Well, they won't give me any gifts," Chase continues. “Good for you," I went along.

    Street is attending a meeting at the Hammond Public Library sometime later. Approached by a young reporter from The Times (Keith B.)." I'm with The Times and told you it might be a good source," Keith tells me. Shit face grin as I put it to him. "The Times, don't you guys get gifts over there?" Street continues. His response blew my mind. "Not anymore, "The reporter told me.

At Street Level 470

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
    When Mrvan Jr. was North Township Trustee, his father had a friend whose son was fired from Hammond P.D. Mrvan Jr. made a deal with Mayor Pabey to hire his daughter at the trustee's office. Pabey would hire fired Hammond Poe-Poe. But then the FBI started to investigate Mayor Pabey. Fearing exposure, Mrvan Jr. let the daughter go.
     Met with Marc Chase at Burger King in Munster to discuss this potential quid pro quo. Chase did nothing.
        Chase was more worried about a Columnist at The Times who was coming to work at 9 am with alcohol on his breath. " I wrote him up and sent it upstairs, but nothing was done," Chase lamented. The headline in today's Times motivated this update.
    "Mrvan Speaks Out."
