I am accusing Channel 5 Television News with aiding and abetting environmental racism in collusion with the City of Chicago, agents of the City of Chicago, and unknown others, for refusing to cover a dangerous situation involving carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide poisoning, in the Chatham Park Village Cooperative residential housing development where I live because it is 100% African American, and I do not believe they would refuse to cover such a dangerous situation in any other community. The Cooperative is managed by a management agent that is hired by a nine member board of directors. In October 2013 a contractor was hired to replace all of the boilers in the cooperative whether they needed replacing or not. The contractor is installing the new boilers in a way that vents the toxic fumes generated by them violates the City of Chicago's Municipal Code 18-28-804.3.4, which regulate furnaces (boilers) venting. I live on the end of the building where the fumes are vented from the boilers. These fumes contain toxic gases of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, etc., which even in extremely amounts, in closed unvented spaces can be dangerous to human health, and even fatal. These fumes are seeping into my front door and windows and the quality of the air in my homes has deteriorated to the point where I am worried about my health. Although the level of the two gases are not at the concentrations where they set off a carbon monoxide and or carbon dioxide detector, they nevertheless appear to be present on the inside of my home and I can feel the effect on my body. My eyes have began watering, I have a runny nose, I feel drowsy (especially on the first floor of my home), and I have a cough if I am in any room with the doors closed. I cannot open a windows anywhere in the house to ventilate the fumes in the cold weather, because there is not enough heat from the new boilers to heat the house at all if any of the windows are not tightly closed. I complained to the City of Chicago Department of Buildings (and other city officials) but none of them seem willing to investigate my complaint, and or enforce the City of Chicago Municipal Code 18-28-804.3.4, which regulates furnaces (boilers) venting! I then sent an email and wrote a letter to Channel 2 Television News, showing the picture of this dangerous situation, but they never answered my email or my letter! The fumes could have easily been vented through the smoke stacks which comply with the City Code, instead they are being vented through the side walls of the buildings into the open air at almost ground level! I have further concerns in that these toxic fumes may also be a health hazard to anyone walking through the village, and especially the children on their way to nearby Pirie and Dixon Elementary Schools, who use the sidewalks next to these vents. I am charging environmental racism even if the failure of the city officials to enforce the code is due to kickbacks and corruption, because my community is 100% African American. And I am charging environmental racism by Channel 5 Television News for refusing to cover this violation because my community is 100% African American; and I do not believe they would refuse to cover this dangerous situation if it was happening in any other community. read more

I am writing about MSNBC. I am so disappointed that the station is so conservative and supporting the status quo during the Democratic Primary. Chris Matthews is an old dinosaur seeing "commies" everywhere. His comments about Bernie and the question to Elizabeth Warren last night are disgusting. Please, get rid of him. I turned off the channel when his show is on. He and the rest of the former republican commentators are so biased. We need a real progressive media outlet. Get rid of the Cold Warriors and the Republicans on the show! read more

There is a Kings vs. Blackhawks hockey game on NBC tonight from LA. sorry advertisers - I am deliberately waiting until about 730. It isn't your ads I want to miss. I'm watching so I won't have to be insulted and outraged by the outrageous "singing" of our national anthem. I'm no raving conservative but my 18 year old son watched it with me and pretty well summed up the "national anthem" played at first game from LA - " Dad, that's disgusting." read more

Not much interest shown in why there were 350,000+ people marching in the streets of Chicago yesterday. Not much time given. Not much truth. Everyone seems to know why so many marched for the vote except our news media. Maybe that's because how Trump and the GOP attempt to run this country is no longer considered outrageous by your news team but rather the "new normal." Shame on you. You missed an opportunity. read more

Anyone who still gets their news from a corporate owned, war mongering, partisan news station such as NBC chicago is a schill. There stories are all corporate madates, and are not news at all. Everything you see on this trash station is a distraction from the truth. There is no more responsible journalism within local news stations. Watching this station will make you a dumb sheep read more

Am I the only one who thinks Stephan Holt's so-called trendy facial hair is nothing more than a ruse to hide creeping baldness, and it will be gone as soon as his hair transplants or toupee arrives. It's not like it enhances his so-called journalistic credibility. He comes across like all other talking heads right out of central casting! read more
