The PBA has decided that he will no longer be the Police Chaplin. This is obviously in retaliation because of the problems between the Church and the Police Union. The Mayor said he found it disgusting that the union would do something demeaning as this. Mayor said he also had a letter from Father Chubenko, to us and then proceeded to read the letter. He said that the position of Police Chaplin is appointed by Mayor and Council and does not expire. He was appointed first by Mayor Sica and has served for almost twenty years in this position. Mayor Reiman said it is his intent to reappoint him with a full swearing in and will present him with a full dress blue uniform. We will also send a very stern response to the union. If they want a local PBA Chaplin they are more than welcome to do so but they are not going to select the city police department Chaplin.
