The Daily Truth

Although it caught our own Daily Truth reporter by surprise, it appears that today's

protest by DPS officers was actually a planned press conference. According to Administration officials the 10:00am scheduled photo opportunity and press conference was held as planned at the Administration Building. It included DPS officials and the Governor. The 30 officers and their family members showed up with a list of demands and media reporters followed.

Press Secretary Reyes thanked all those in attendance and received the list of demands from the officers. "It was very successful. This is once again in line with the Governor's plan. We have thoroughly destroyed all ounces of credibility with upper management at DPS. We scheduled this conference to ensure that the entire public would see just how bad things are at DPS. We asked the officers to show up with placards and bullhorns so that the public would be fully aware of the mess that this administration had caused." He went on to specify, "I use the past-tense 'had' because that is only the first stage of the bigger plan." Reyes informed the media that they will be holding another press conference on Nov 5th.

Reyes stated, "The November 5th Press Conference will be held at DPS and will focus primarily on photo shoot opportunities." The media learned that they will have the Governor being lifted up by the officers that were here today. He will be smiling as will the officers. He will give each officer a big hug and a banner will be held up that says "DPS Fixed By Fitial!".

Reyes warned, "we can't get too ahead of ourselves. The governor will first issue the State of Emergency for DPS tomorrow. This will allow him to shift over ARRA funds to generate the needed morale boost for the force. Homestead application are yet to be completed by the irked officers and we are still running into problems with a few that are refusing our 'happying' efforts."

We tried to contact the officers that marched up to the hill but were unable to. DPS informed us that they were all meeting privately with the Governor and could not be disturbed.

A few legislators did comment but asked not to be identified. They said "This is terrible. These officers deserve more. This administration's mismanagement has caused a disaster. We need to look into the serious allegations of nepotism and corruption that have been brought up and conduct a thorough desk audit." They attempted to continue but were cut short when they over heard the information released by Reyes. "Oh hell! Not again!" was all they ended with.

We have been informed that the public is welcome to attend the November 5 photo opportunity.
