Background

The City of Chicago runs several programs to take your hard earned dollars.  One such program deals with "bogus" tickets that you receive from the CPD or the Building Department - although each very well might have a different location for a hearing.

One of the first things that was noticed when we attended these hearings was that many people could not speak the English language; majority were Spanish and Polish speaking.

Since we believe in due process that is fair, and see no fairness in going through any proceedings whereby the individual does not understand what is going on, we wrote a letter to Reilly and forwarded a copy to the aldermen contained in the letter.

Not a single alderman came forward to take issue on behalf of the people.  Wayne A. Strnad did.
