“CW” is fed speak for “cooperating witness” (it can also be “confidential witness,” but that still means somebody is talking).

This isn’t surprising. It’s expected. But this is the first time we have an indication that people are cooperating.

Police Officer A? That cannot be good if there is a dirty cop. But…we have no idea why Police Officer A is mentioned.

This is very big stuff because these are people who have knowledge of alleged crimes that were committed that are cooperating.

In all sincerity, the sleepless nights of not knowing how this will end, is a punishment in and of itself, for those that are involved.

The puckering is audible.

It appears there are many, many people being investigated. Elected politicians, lobbyists, government workers, and businessmen.

Maybe Jeff Tobolski has gone into witness protection.

This is very bad news for Safe speed redlight cameras. Good news for the driving public.

For what it’s worth, if you go to the village of McCook’s website and click on a link to the directory, click on the email links to any number of the personnel,including Mayor Tobolski, village attorney, FOIA, and most trustees default to the deputy clerk, Renee Botica.

Patrick Doherty is Jeff Tobolski’s Chief of staff. He was comfortably talking to the Chicago Sun times. He seems to be a free spirit.

A quick Google search of old articles indicate that the company contracted with local law enforcement officials to promote their cameras to other colleagues in jurisdictions. This could be why there is Police Officer A.

Would you go to jail for any of these guys? There’s likely several people with knowledge who definitely would not.

It’s Spring in October; I hear the birdies singing so loudly it’s deafening. The early bird(s) get reduced sentences.
