SCPD CORRUPTION



Tuesday, a Syn City resident in the attempts of being a good citizen visited the SCPD to verify if she needed a business license to open a business.  She was informed that she did and that the price would be an exorbitant amount, 10k Brunsens.  Bear in mind that most licenses for businesses such as food and drink are 1k Brunsens, not 10k.  She really wanted to open her business again so agreed to pay the money and walked away with a proof of business license purchase.  Appalled at the price and recalling when she'd owned the business before, she asked another business owner that has been in business for several months what she'd paid for her license finding out that she hadn't had to pay one at all.  When the SCPD was contacted about the situation, she was informed that ALL businesses must have a license and if they do not, that they will be shut down and that the SCPD would be investigating other businesses.  When the SCPD was contacted again, they wouldn't comment nor agree to a meeting to discuss the issue.

After the threat of closing down her business, a concerned citizen spoke with the Mayor who denied any knowledge of the license stating "the only licenses approved by council are the ones listed on the wall inside the PD lobby. If you are being asked to pay more then you have a LEGAL problem that quite possibly involves corruption. My advice to you is to show up tonight at 7:30 SLT and enter your complaint in court."

Following the Mayor's suggestion, the concerned citizen did indeed bring it up at the traffic court requesting that the city cease and desist all license enforcement operations until the issue can be resolved fairly and that all sums already collected be put into a holding account so they can be refunded when the case is resolved.  The request wasn't agreed to but it did however lead to the following Executive Order by the Mayor

    "to the SCPD and City Inspection departments, it is hereby ordered that effectively     immediately only the approved fines, fees, licenses and punishments are to be     enforced insofar as they cover the range of crimes beyond which only special     conditions prevail.  The letter of the law is to be respected so that the citizens of Syn     City may be well served without confusion as to the possible consequences of their     actions.  Signed: Your faithful servant, Mayor Whackadeaux Amadeus Allouicious     Frederico Billy Bob Claremont Ferdinand Von Destiny III"

According to the Mayor, the SCPD has been prohibited from enforcing anything not posted on PD's walls until this is sorted out.

One prominent figure in Syn advises Citizens who have a complaint and and believe they have been charged wrongly for a license that does or does not exist to seek advice from an attorney.  For a list of attorneys, visit the city's website click on G&D License Group and look under "roles".  There are fourteen lawyers, of those, about half are still active in the city.




POLICE BRUTALITY



Traffic court Tuesday night while meant to be a way to achieve justice in a city quite lacking in it, didn't end so well for two of Syn City's finest residents, Vincenzo and Alexandria Cipriani.  Vincenzo and Alexandria were brought before the court for outstanding warrants.  The warrant was for their arrest in an incident that occured last Sunday when the SCPD showed up at the Omerta Casino known as Casa Nova seizing the property and attempting to "extort us for a ridiculous amount of money" according to Alexandria.  According to both citizens, the SCPD were the ones to fire first and they merely defended themselves and are now being charged with attempted murder of four SCPD officers.  This was only the beginning of trouble for the two.  As if things weren't bad enough simply being arrested, what they experienced afterwards, was much worse.

Vincenzo and Alexandria are concerned about the citizens of Syn and worry that they too will have to endure the same kind of police brutality that they were submitted to and still being treated for Wednesday morning at the hospital.  Alex states that Officer Austin stripped her and tried to grope her causing her to feel uncomfortable and in the attempt to flee what she felt was nearing rape, got her head banged into a cement wall.  Alexandria suffered severe contusions while Vincenzo suffered from a knife wound to the shoulder.  According to a Syn City Hospital Doctor, "Alex had a severe concussion that could have only been caused by blunt force contact with her skull.  Vince is tall and Alex is short, there's no way without him leaning down that Alex could have stabbed Vince" in their medical opinion.  Reports from one concerned citizen stated "People saw them getting in the PD looking fine and I came to bail them out this morning. This is how they  came out." referring to the picture to the right.

When the Mayor was questioned about the possibility of police brutality, he stated "Vinc and Alex were taken into custody without incident and left willingly... so I can't imagine the SCPD would have to beat the shit out of them for any reason... My police department is nothing short of professionally trained law enforcement perfection as far as I'm aware."

When the SCPD was contacted.....they stated that the SCPD didn't seize the casino, the bank did for failure to comply with a warrant requiring them to provide proof of their gambling and liquor licenses.  When Omerta didn't comply, SCPD was called in to oversee the closing of the Casa Nova bringing about the warrants for both Alex and Vincenzo.  When asked who drew and fired first, after viewing street footage, Omerta were the first to draw their weapons and the first to fire.  When asked about the brutality in question, the officer stated "it is a pending investigation and as such cannot comment on that case as of yet.  all I can say is they were arrested for their warrants they had for 4 counts of attempted murder on police officers."

There you have it...both sides of the story according to what information could be obtained, what do you think?






SYN CITY MAYOR & COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2014


That's right Synizens it's time for elections once again!  If you're hoping to run for Mayor or Council, time is running out.  Posters and blimps have been popping up all over the City in an attempt to win YOUR vote from the favored bridge, to residential homes and public buildings.  No building is safe from the campaign posters.  However, unfortunately, elections thus far seem to be quite the disappointment considering the amount of candidates for both positions as well as a lack of debates compared to last year's elections.  There is very little Synizens know about this years runners and where they stand on current and possible future issues.  Most posters seeming to have the mindset of "Why not".  Whereas last year there were posters that told what they'd do if elected or the changes they'd make.  You knew the stand they took on certain issues.  Where's that this year?  How are citizens suppose to vote without knowing who they're voting for other then a picture, a name, or simply because someone's a friend.  Candidates...can we get some information please?  Syn City Gazette will do what we can but time is running out!

So far the Mayor seems to be uncontested in the Mayoral race.  Is there anyone willing to face off Syn City's current Mayor Whack in the upcoming elections?  In looking at the posters and signs plastered around town it would seem the candidates for council are as follows, in no specific order;   Vincenzo Cipriani, Carensia Hudson, Lamont Enyo, Hysteria, and Nonny.  Are these candidates all Syn City has to offer?  Have you wanted to improve the conditions of our lovely city and have wonderful ideas how to do so?  Do you know someone you think would be a great politician?  Let them know.  Don't be afraid, have a voice, make a difference...run for Mayor or Council.  One person CAN make a difference!

Voting for the Mayoral and Council elections will take place October 15th - 18th with the winner to be announced at the event on the 18th.  More information to come as it becomes available.

**Want to ask Abby for advice? Simply drop a note in the mailbox outside the Gazette behind Syn City Bank, Abby responds to everyone!**  ((NOTE: Crissy rewrites all Dear Abby's before handing them over to Abby to answer so they can be kept anonymous.))


❖ Rumor Has It
**Have you heard a rumour you want to share?  Send it to us.**


1. Black of the Vipers had to drink some JD and take his blood pressure pills when he found out the recent news of Nonny being Dina's adopted daughter.  Needless to say, he was NOT happy.  However, considering Amber's relationship with their son, Dwight...it's making citizens wonder...just how much pull DO Vipers have with the SCPD and the city?  Now that the council isn't made of up of mostly Vipers, are they finding other ways of keeping control?  Talk about sleeping with the enemy..or are they not the enemy they would have us all believe?

2.  "Shawny chases anything with a pussy, doesnt even have to have two legs from what i heard."

3.  I've got big balls.  You've got big balls but someone's got the biggest balls of them all!  Let's play a game...name those balls!  If you guessed Arrow, you win...absolutely nothing but you win!

4.  Omerta is broke!  Rumour has it they couldn't afford to pay the rent on the casino which is the reason SCPD shut it down this past week.  To make matters worse after the battle that ensued, Omerta's funds are running extremely low and they'll be looking for ways to make a buck.

5.    Business licenses aren't the only licenses that SCPD has been charging for that haven't been approved by city council.

6.  JJ's been seen living the life every man wants to have...two women..one man.  Here we wondered where he'd been hiding...no wonder he's been staying at home so much!  You would too!

7.  Seems the connection between the Ormidales and SCPD that have been rumoured in the streets are true as Nonny was heard consoling Police Chief Distansa.  Get into the family and you have friends in the PD...that's how it goes!  Vipers...SCPD...there's connections and loyalties between the two popping up all over the city.  Anyone else notice that no Vipers were arrested in court this week?

8.  SCPD employees treated by Syn City Hospital fail to pay their bills after the hard work and dedication of the staff there.

9.  Apparently the buzz around town is that Diabolus boss, Izzy is retiring.  What does this mean for DA and their businesses?  Will this make it easier for another gang or mafia to rise up and reak havoc on the city?

10.  Rumour has it that the Mayor's mind has started to deteriorate since being in office and his wife Fiona had him institutionalized for therapy.  He has been seen talking to himself in a mirror trying to save "this man" from his demons.  This is NOT good with the upcoming elections but with no one running against him...are we all fucked?

11.  An old lady moved into town and has been seen staying with Alex and Vincenzo Cipriani.  It is believed she's heard the rumour of the brother and sister sleeping together and has come to town to straighten her grandkids out and beat some sense into them.

12.  Carensia spent all of her AND Lamont's money on shoes and they had to move into a camper in the old trailer park.  Doubt there's room for all those shoes in that tiny little space.

13.  Vipers are taking the law into their own hands.  Sunday night one of their members scalped a pig.  Darren was scalped because of what he did to Amber.  Mo was seen in the park wearing it on his head.  Is the beloved man going a little fruity to the looty?  It's almost as if he has a double personality.  Wearing the scalp on his head one minute and perfectly fine the next having no recollection of the events.

14.  There's a reason you haven't seen Vipers and Sinners going at it as much as usual lately.  Apparently there's something going on between Sinners President, Celestia and Vipers Boss, Sam.  It isn't clear exactly what but we do know there's hair pulling involved and NOT the unfun kind!  You decide the rest yourselves...wink wink.

15.  Want your business opened back up or a permit or license renewed?  The answer's simple, kidnap someone near and dear to Dina.  Word is, she'll offer to get you what you need in exchange for the release.

To the Editor


The election season brings out the best and the brightest of the city, hoping for a chance to serve and improve our lives.  It also brings out the greedy and power hungry, hoping for a huge helping of our tax dollars.  As we consider who to vote for in the upcoming elections let's all think about the importance of casting the right vote.  Your vote is private, nobody sees it, so why give your vote to someone you know will not serve the best interests of all the citizens?  Instead let's do the right thing this time and vote for a new tomorrow, a righteous and enlightened government free of the greed and abuses of the current administration.

In only one short year we've seen our city annex more land than services can cover, leading to higher taxes and hidden taxes like bail for invented crimes. We've seen incredible rebuilding and revitalization in the entire city and I'm all for that but at what cost?  In only a short conversation with bank President Dina Ormidale I discovered that the city is hopelessly in debt, in fact given the interest rate and the current level of repayment the city is actually going FURTHER into debt with every passing month. 

It is true that huge improvements have been had in almost every area of the city, especially in city government, with more enforcement and lower overall crime than ever before, but that's just not what we're here for is it? Let's use our votes this time to send a clear message for change. I'm voting for Whackadeaux Amadeus Allouicious Frederico Billy Bob Claremont Ferdinand Von Destiny III, because with him, change is the only constant.

Signed,

A concerned citizen.
