- Sanitation Workers Fined for Off-the-Books Scrap Metal Profiteering
Violating the terms of this spring’s new contract, several city garbage men were found selling collected scrap metal on the black market, and were immediately dismissed from the job. “All profits from city waste recycled for resale is to go directly back into the city budget, not the pockets of ambitious trash collectors, who have been hawking valuable materials like copper wiring and sheet metal to secondhand dealers while on the clock.” explained the Dept. of Sanitation head earlier today. “Large amounts of metal have gone missing from the recycling center lately, we can only assume that more of our boys than we can catch are sneaking out with their own treasure hauls, pulling a tidy personal fortune while the rest of us cough up tax money. Hate to use the old turn of phrase, but that’s trashy business.” This crackdown threatens another union strike, as workers wish to carry on their time-honored tradition of free junkyard pickings.
- A brief article mentions a Sector 3 gang of mischievous young electrokineticists who have been pranking high end restaurant valet parking lots by tricking several luxury vehicle owners into thinking their car batteries have gone dead, just late enough to make a panic of the pre-siren commute. These boys were caught on camera, and have been identified as 11th graders from the local school district. They will face a hearing in juvenile court on Tuesday.
