The investigation is over, no charges were filed, he has resigned, why does the press keep trying to do more dammage to this guy? He will probably never be able to get a job as Fire Chief anywhere, his personal life was spread all over the paper. When the press gets its claws into someone, they just keep on grinding away. It seems like the press is just trying to totally destroy this man. I think it is time to close this, and move on. The investigation was complete when Atha retired.

We can only assume that the mayor , police chief and others are held to the same very high standards they held the fire chief to , doubtful. As for the firefighters that turned on their chief and fellow firefighter sounds like just a case of sour grapes , protecting their own behinds and their own advancement . So glad I don't live in Springdale.
