Another lawsuit for our favorite Fire Chief

A fourth lawsuit has been filed against suspended Minneapolis Fire Chief Bonnie Bleskachek, alleging "unlawful conduct and discrimination". Since a civil rights investigation has already found that "there was evidence of preferential treatment in the department for women and especially lesbians", this suit has a good chance of succeeding, unless the City of Minneapolis settles it, as it did with the first two, and apparently is about to with a third.

I have blogged about this case previously here, here, here, and here (these are in chronological order). As I noted in my last post on the subject, this whole episode of social engineering and the promotion of an apparently incompetent alleged sexual predator in the name of "diversity" has cost the taxpayers of Minneapolis upwards of half a million dollars, and the chief has still not been fired, as she has been on administrative leave with full pay for months while this mess is slowly, slowly sorted out.

I just can't believe that this person was the most qualified candidate in the entire department. If she had been, then she should have gotten the job based on her firefighting qualifications, and nothing else. Her sexual orientation should have been her private business, and should have not factored into it. However, since the City Council and Mayor saw fit to break their arms patting themselves on the back for this "progressive" appointment, and since most of the accusations center on the chief's fraternizing while on the job, it is now appropriate to question whether diversity in and of itself should be one of the primary reasons to hire someone for a professional position.

Minneapolis is paying one hell of a high price to find out the answer.
