Investigative Voice: HAMMERED! — City firefighter suspended after altercation with transsexual

HAMMERED! — City firefighter suspended after altercation with transsexual

Tuesday, 17 August 2010 12:20

By Stephen Janis

Depending on which one you believe, Baltimore City firefighter Jerry Majette was either an innocent bystander who got robbed by a Baltimore County transsexual, or the assailant himself who attacked the soon-to-be woman with a hammer after he found her gender ambiguity unappealing.
For now, police believe the woman’s account that Majette pulled a hammer from the transsexual's closet and attacked her after he discovered that she was not a fully functional female, and have since charged Majette with first-degree assault and robbery.
The firefighter has been suspended by the Baltimore City Fire Department.
For his part, Majette, along with firefighter union officials, says he should not be suspended from the department over allegations that have yet to be heard in court.

Investigative Voice: LIES & LIARS? — Bernstein & Jessamy battle for the hearts & minds of the electorate


LIES & LIARS? — Bernstein & Jessamy battle for the hearts & minds of the electorate

Sunday, 15 August 2010 21:24



 AN INVESTIGATIVE VOICE ANALYSIS

 What was gained? What was lost?
---------- ---------- ----------
Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld, top left, and city State's Attorney candidate Gregg Bernstein, above, were both called liars this past week by incumbent top prosecutor Pat Jessamy. (I.V. File Photos/A.F. James MacArthur & Stephen Janis)
IN CAMPAIGN FOR CITY STATE’S ATTORNEY,
THE INCUMBENT PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS

I am tough; I am smart; I am truthful
(whereas) he continues to lie.— Patricia C. Jessamy

DID THE CHALLENGER & THE COMMISH
SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT?
Or was it Jessamy who did that to herself?

PRACTICALLY A HOUSEHOLD WORD
By Alan Z. Forman As the city state’s attorney repeatedly attacked her primary-election challenger for allegedly continuing “to lie” about her record, and the police commissioner who supports him removed two lawn signs within hours of the chief prosecutor’s call for an “independent fact finder” to determine at taxpayer expense whether the top cop had lied about a phone call, local news outlets began reporting at week’s end that the Baltimore political establishment was rallying “around Jessamy.”

But was this truly the case? and even if it was, does it really matter?

The implication of a headline in the Thursday editions of the Baltimore Sun — “Bealefeld removes campaign signs as political establishment rallies around Jessamy”— and the reports from other local media that followed was that challenger Gregg Bernstein and Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld had grossly miscalculated by posting lawn signs in the commissioner’s Southwest Baltimore yard touting the top cop’s support of the upstart challenger, whose name hardly anyone in the city even knew.

SWIMMING IN THE CITY OF DISCONTENT


By Stephen Janis


Tell me I’m dreaming, but is it true the city that forked over $400 million to fund retirement payments and health benefits for city employees closed pools in early August during one of the hottest summers on record to save roughly $400,000 to $600,000?

Is it true?

I don’t know if I’m getting this right but did Baltimore City Council President Jack Young have to call a special session of the City Council and hold a news conference to push the Rawlings-Blake Administration to pay attention to an issue that should have been at the top of their agenda?

Did it really take the private sector's donating the money to keep our children cool in a city where taxpayer-funded take-home cars zoom out of state every night at the cost of millions of dollars every year?

Did I miss a meeting where it was decided that borrowing $300 million to build a downtown hotel that has yet to make money was a worthwhile use of taxpayer funds, but drawing down $400,000 from the rainy-day fund to improve the quality of life for the people who actually live here was not worth the risk to the city's credit rating?... http://www.investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5505:what-future-baltimore-of-pools-politics-and-pension&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44
