For those who read the News Herald article, here is a response from the union president that may clear up some mis-information. Also, due to the fact that someone was posting on the News Herald website using Steve Heim's name, all future responses will be posted on the firefighters website, lpfirefighters.com.
Steve Heim wrote on Dec 13, 2009 10:01 AM:
" I am writing in an attempt to clear up several mistakes and omissions that were made in the article. First and foremost would be the omission that the Fire Fighters Union filed the charges that money had been stolen and asked the police department to investigate the theft in the first place. To somehow suggest that the Fire Fighters Union has in any way slowed or hindered this investigation is completely false. The Union's position was made clear to Detective Nassar who was handling the case, that we intended to follow through up to prosecution. Our members completed countless interviews with detectives, filled out police department questionnaires, provided bank statements and financial records, and two of the three asked to take polygraphs did so, all off duty and without pay. The fact of the matter is this investigation has moved at a snails pace and still has not provided us with what we had requested of the LPPD, that someone be held accountable for the theft and justice prevail.
Once again the Union requested the investigation, volunteered its time and participated throughout the entire process. Our membership voted and passed several resolutions that we would follow through with this till prosecution. "
