What up?

What up?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

It's your boy Ray Nitty checking in on the grapevine.

What's happening?

What's happening?

It's two o'clock.

Ray Nitty, Brother Z, holding it down for y'all all week, man, on the grapevine.

It was just on your lunch break with us, man.

Shouts out to everybody that joined us on their lunch break.

We gonna be carrying the conversation over today.

I had a idea of what I was gonna talk about today, right?

And you know, it's interesting putting together a show that, you know, you wanna make sure you are bringing things that people are interested in, right?

So, I've been working on

topics that I feel like y'all may have been interested in.

And I hope that it's been resonating with y'all.

Yesterday we talked about the toxic mess in this town, the environmental injustice that has been neglected.

You know, talked about how it impacts behavior and choices.

You know for those of you that's just joining us eight three three two one two ten seventeen That's the number to doubt You could text that number as well if you're not able to call in Bring a friend bring a friend man.

We we we on the grapevine And we just having some conversation today Some of the things that stood out about yesterday and I'm gonna get to the I'm gonna get to today's story

McGee all the preview of what was going on, but it was certain things that stood out about how.

Toxic exposure impacted crime and bad choices.

And I thought that was very, very important information.

How toxic exposure impact crime and bad choices.

And.

I'm going to just give you all some.

Of the stats that we saw.

And heard and whatnot, right?

But overall study attributes.

Fifty six percent of firearm violence.

Perpetration and fifty one percent of victimization is in Milwaukee cohort to blood lead levels above five UGDL.

Then it also talked about how exposure to these things impacted.

Hyper behavior.

Low attention level.

Low level of community exposure was linked to measurable low working memory, processing speed and executive function, the same cognitive systems tied to impulse and control.

Right separate from lead peer reviewed research on TCE specifically documents developmentary neuro toxicity It that it disrupted the neuro transmitter function oxidative stress and neuro inflammation in the developing brain With observed behavioral outcomes including hyperactivity lower IQ scores

and locomotor slash attention deficit.

Those were the two things that stood out a lot to me.

Those stood out a lot.

And I only discovered these things right on our journey that we had to go through with the community within the corridor development.

And as somebody who's just an entertainer.

It was foreign to me, so it made me do a whole bunch of research.

It made me research, but not only did it make me research, it solidified me running for office.

My frustration with how that process was going, it really fueled me to run for office.

Let's say that.

It fueled me because I was so frustrated and tired with bull with BS politicians that just are just really performative.

Don't really put policies to protect the people.

Let me not say they don't, right?

But not ones that really matter for somebody to be in there 20 years, 15 years.

I'm just saying.

But like I said, it propelled me to run for office, right?

So yesterday.

We told you all about that.

So now today I feel like I wanted to get into how did I even begin to want to run for office?

So, yeah, that was the final straw, right?

CNR attorney.

For CWC.

Also be.

an advisor for the DNR, the folks who was keeping their foot on on it.

That was crazy in itself.

That was crazy in itself to me.

So.

I'm like, you know what?

I wonder if the folks are interested in how we even got here today.

So the journey starts.

The journey starts a long time ago.

Long long long time ago, right?

It was a night.

It was night night time me and DJ new styles.

Tell you all my first encounter with Bob bombing.

And

how we

ended up.

Tell you all my first encounter and how I say, you know what, I'm from the run against this mall.

I was just fed up.

But.

My first encounter, right?

Me and New Styles out.

He like, man, needy, let's go to one of these spots.

I had to be on Water Street somewhere.

The venue isn't open no more.

It was either Water Street or Old World Third at the time, which is now King Drive.

Is this the first of many encounters with...

Bombing by the way, or is this just this was like the one and only that was like I'm cool on this

was the first one that was like oh He really think he um Scarface al Pacino around the city You know cuz I just peeped how he was moving and how he was using his seat to As if it's almost he was enjoying the circus show that he was creating

Whether that's putting venue owners against community members or DJs and service industry people against community members and just really just setting the table for, in my opinion, not an environment that's conducive to a thriving downtown Milwaukee and a thriving nightlife.

Me and new styles DJ new style the infamous DJ new styles might I add toured touring at the time with digital underground shock G Many more, you know rain nitty I Mean I ain't no digital underground But shoot we was torn too

I actually got to meet them homies, man.

Pretty, pretty smooth homies, man.

So we going to this spot, man, and I'm telling you.

I'm already I didn't want to go.

I did not want to go.

We was already about to go kick it with the others.

And others mean in Dwight's.

And I'm like, bro, I just, you know.

Just don't have a good experience trying trying these places He's like man, we gonna be good.

So yeah, we go down there man.

We uh, we dressed up I got on a suit Suit new styles got on a blazer You know open I almost said open toe sandals.

He ain't had open toe sandals, but he had some hard bottoms on He had the hard bottoms on right we get up to the door

We get up to the door and.

They like.

Are you good, but he can't come in.

They talk about new styles, new styles come in.

So he like,

what

is going on?

New styles had a grill in.

Yes, new styles had his custom grill in his mouth.

So he's like, all right, I'ma take it out.

They're like, nah, you can't come in.

We already saw it.

We already saw it.

So we ended up, you know, new styles pissed at this point, right?

Made a post on Facebook about it.

I should have seen if that post was still up, but it was so long ago.

So long ago, man.

And made a post about it.

Plenty of people were like, oh, that's bogus, that's BS.

I don't know why we go down there to these places anyway.

And.

We go down there.

And.

Can't get in.

So new styles, pissed, put a post up, plenty of people chiming in and a homie.

Sam Samir chimes in.

He was the owner of CO2 back in the day.

And I can't remember the jinx.

It was also called jinx as well.

Can't remember what it was called after jinx.

But he passed away shortly after that.

Not shortly after that, but after that situation.

But he called and was like, yo, nitty, I know the owner of this spot.

If you want to, you know what I mean?

You should.

Talk to them, whatever, whatever.

We'll get back into that after these messages.

Don't go anywhere, y'all.

We'll be right back and I'll continue this story.

Man, we talking about my first encounter with Bob Bob or the fourth district Alderman.

You know, so we was at this event.

We was trying to get in didn't want to go got denied entry because new styles had a grill on with his suit.

We was all in full suits and was denied entry.

So new styles was pissed.

You know, you're like, man, nitty, what we got to do?

I know you know how to go about this stuff.

What we got to do?

I was like, well, you got to put in a formal complaint.

You got to reach out to the Alderman's office and they're probably going to request you to come in to a licensing committee meeting to look at that.

Brother Z, he found the joint.

This was in 2017.

I couldn't even tell you where to be getting a look at this So if you online you could you could read the post Like Like I said styles the only reason he saw

Do styles teeth is because styles opened his mouth and said hey, I hope your evening is going well tonight But anyway, I ugly's Ugly's that's what it was and I tagged a couple people to attack the couple people that wasn't even

It wasn't even a district.

I'm just tagging people.

See, I'm just tagging.

It wasn't even a district rust all the way on the north side.

You probably like, what?

What I got to do with this?

Ashanti, he on Villard Hampton.

He like, but he probably was Common Council president at the time.

But yeah, man, that was the that was the post that went up that I put up, right?

And it got some good feedback.

But Samir called.

And he was like, man, needy, I know the owners of this.

Can I give him your number?

And, you know, you all talk about this.

He said this that night.

He said this same that same night, Sam Rest in Peace reached out to me that night.

And I was like, man, I was like, yeah, give him my number.

We'll chop it up.

He never called.

Person never called.

So we went through with the uh We went through with the report went through with the report the night before the hearing The night before the hearing ironically I get a call Guess from who?

Attorney in meal.

This is how I met a meal to by the way, he was just uh expecting a brand new baby at the time and

He was representing the club and he's telling me about like man, you know, I Wish we could have talked about this.

I was out the country when all of this happened and But long story short You know, he's like man, you know, I was it's the way we could figure this out I'm like, well, you know, my boy really first of all, you should be talking to new styles not me.

He was the one that was

I'm a walkie-ream session.

He was the one that, you know, was offended by, you know, I wasn't trying to go regardless.

But, you know, we go down there and I've printed up now plenty cases.

Emile is telling me all the games that Baumann has been playing down at City Hall.

Terrorizing the businesses down there and putting customers and community members against each other.

So essentially a circus.

So I got to see the circus single-handedly when we go down there.

Now, I was prepared.

I was prepared to be the entertainer that I am.

I was prepared.

I had printed up plenty other cases and situations where people was discriminated against.

and denied entry and the establishment got sued and lost.

Had those printed up cans, by the way, I don't know if y'all remember a nightclub called cans.

It wasn't cans.

I think it was around the cans area, but.

Over there on East North Avenue over there and whatnot.

So.

We walk in.

I see the owner not feeling and I see Bob bombing for the first time.

He he's sitting.

He's sitting like like he just the Godfather of downtown Milwaukee hands cross.

He's smiling.

He got this smirk and I'm reading his body language.

I was like, ah, he enjoys this type of discourse.

He enjoys people coming down.

and, you know, really going against the businesses because it now puts the businesses at his mercy.

And I was able to understand what that meant further down the line when I ran for office.

But I'm seeing how he's like trying to get me to, you know, and at the time, I wish I would have spoke to Emil earlier in the situation weeks before.

You know Because I went down there For one thing and I'm like you know what I don't want to be a part of this circus So I did not give out all the things that I I felt like I would have been doing bomb in a favor

So it's like I didn't pass out all the things that I wanted a new style set his piece and what did happen is some laws changed Emil got some laws changed on how downtown venues Welcome patrons in So that did happen and styles were satisfied out of that You know, they changed the way and we got to get a meal on the show to talk about this too.

This was actually

Because he called me like, yo, man, you know, I appreciate you for taking the time to listen.

What happened was was BS and that should never happen.

And because of things like this, I want you to know that, you know, the city of Milwaukee is putting things in place and policies in place to make sure that people can be discriminated against anymore going into these venues downtown and cross city lines, not cross city lines in Milwaukee.

So it was good to see some of that right but as As life goes on this was 2017 I ran for office in 2024 2023 I put my papers in right So that was my first encounter y'all this was my actual root story my root story

And it was more personal than most people would assume.

Before my campaign even existed.

Then I started like.

Hearing more about.

You know, Bob and whatnot, then.

Something that.

Came, I remember hearing about this and we're going to dive into his career for a second, right?

I remember hearing about.

The first of all, let's talk about who he is.

Robert Bob Baumann, right?

Represented the Milwaukee's fourth district for 20 years now, about two decades.

All right?

Two decades.

As downtown, Lower East Side, Historic Third Ward, parts in their West Side since April 2024.

So over 20 years in office.

You know, and he's also an attorney by trade.

So he's smart as hell too, by the way.

He knows stuff.

He's smart.

And I've seen it in play.

Marquette undergrad, Northwestern law, any chairs, the Common Council, zoning, neighborhoods and development committee.

Then I started just, you know, doing research, hearing more, hearing more.

It was like in 2007.

This was 10 years prior.

I remember this.

when he publicly began criticizing West Samaria, a 92 unit housing facility for residents with certified chronic mental illness that was ran by a nonprofit tricorp housing.

So now one would say, hey, man, you know, I think he was doing his job here, right?

As an elected official, you got to speak up for your constituents.

So.

I'm assuming Bob did what I'm going to assume any other politician would have done, right?

In that situation.

So what happened was after a resident was found dead in his room, days after passing, you know, that is something to think about.

You found somebody days after they passed.

Baumann sent the press release out and lobbied officials to take regulatory action against the facility.

Now I don't know how bad that sounds.

I don't know how bad that sounds.

But as I dug deeper, right, as the case progressed, because this was a long case.

Tricorp alleged that Baumann's public statements amounted to a deliberate smear campaign that damaged the nonprofit standing with the county housing referrals that caused them to default on a $1.6 million weed alone.

The facility ended up closed and was later demolished.

So now that was, you know, mental health facility gone now.

After nearly 15 years, it was a 15 year legal battle in Milwaukee County.

Jury rule tended to in February, 2022, the Bioman's statements were false and defamatory and that he'd acted outside the scope of his office and abused.

His constitution constitutional free speech privilege award in Tri-Corp, $1.4 million in damages.

Tri-Corp attorney.

Didn't mince his words, he says, you're talking about a politician being able to go outside the normal process to really harm someone and do it with impunity.

Nobody can do that.

He also said video depositions showed Bowman admitting he'd never actually been inside the facility he was publicly attacking.

Bowman never changed.

He said, I did nothing more than my job to advocate on behalf of his constituents.

And I feel like if you hear in that, I could rock with that.

Like, yo, y'all had somebody pass away and you didn't find them for two days.

I don't I don't know if I'm I'm blaming Bob for that, right?

So don't go anywhere.

Y'all will be right back and we'll get more into this on the award winning one on one seven.

I told you, you want to come and run in my race.

I am the only Alderman that will pull hands on any one of these mollies.

You want to run

against me, you entertainer?

I don't even think that's how Italians talk.

Welcome back welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth live from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy Ray nitty aka the pod father What's handy man live from the American Family Assurance Studios we talking about a Big Bob man, but yeah, we're just talking about you know how

My encounter with Bob Star, that's exactly what it felt like.

But then over those years, between 2007, 2009, 10, 12, 13, 14, we was doing a lot of club promotions.

We was doing a lot of club promotions.

So prior to actually, right.

Prior to actually...

Prior to actually that encounter I was already going to hearings and witnessing the circus With like, you know having to go out there for texture nightclub for Rain nightclub even Onyx nightclub back then and Questions nightclub, you know Bunch of different venues man

And, you know, I was just able to see how dog was like.

It's just a thorn.

But using his power to really intimidate business owners.

So anyway.

Telling you all about.

The cases that cost or nearly cost us tax pay in dollars, taxpayer citizens, a lot of dollars.

So like we said after 15 years of that legal battle Milwaukee County jury ruled 10 to 2 That bro was tripping and he defamed these folks and they had to close down Building destroyed all of these different things What did it actually cost though, right?

Who was on the hook?

So in 2020 the Common Council voted unanimously to

indemnify Bowman.

You know what that means?

Meaning the city of Milwaukee, not Bowman personally, agreed to cover any judgment against him tied to this case, plus his legal defense.

And I'm like, that's... Huh?

Oh, that was different.

Exactly, right?

So I could...

As a politician, I could understand why they would unanimously vote for that.

Because if it's your turn to sit on the seat and you step out of line or said something that, you know, cost the city millions, you would probably want your Common Council colleagues to unanimously indemnify you as well.

So I'm going to say that's probably why they unanimously said, yeah, you know, we're gonna pass this on to our tax paying citizens.

I wonder what the people feel about that.

833-212-1017.

Should elected officials be able to pass off the cost of their mistakes or missteps to our citizens?

But I'll keep it going, y'all.

Like I said, 2020 Common Council unanimously voted to indemnify Bowman, meaning the city of Milwaukee not Bowman personally agreed to cover any judgment against him tied to this case plus his legal defense.

So I remember this.

Then we had the silk strip club stuff as well, too.

When it was a part of blocking that and then silk sued and it was like yo I'll drop the lawsuit if you allow me to open all of these So we looking at roughly damn there three four million dollars this dude has been costing anyway, the city spent up to 240,000 defending Bowman through the law through the law firm Davis.

I'm not even gonna try that name Cool towel So about 250 bands alone half a million

On top of whatever, the city ultimately owed if the 1.4 million verdict had stood.

City Attorney Terrence Spencer, uh oh, he just gotten some trouble.

He just got like found guilty.

Publicly objected, we'll get into that on another story too.

Publicly objected to taxpayers footing the bill.

When it comes to the, see.

That's probably why they got on him.

He wasn't on board with Baba.

You can't go against the Godfather and think that, you know, it won't be repercussions.

You tried to take me down.

I saw you tear me.

You were supposed to be one of us, but you turned your back on the family.

And for that, I cannot forgive.

In May 2022, a judge, Pedro Colón, reversed the jury's $1.4 million verdict, ruling there was no evidence Bauman acted with actual malice.

So as of today, taxpayers have not had to pay the full judgment, though the case is a matter of public record either way, and the defense costs were real and already spent.

So it looked like we got lucky we ain't had to do 1.4, but we had to do 250,000 The settlement stems from the department level policy or officer conduct not an individual elected officials own personal public statements That's what makes this case distinct those other settlements stem from department level policy

or officer condo.

All right.

The West Samark Samaria case is one of the few Milwaukee examples where sitting Alderman's own words, not a police officer's actions or a department policy became the direct legal liability the city had to defend and potentially pay for.

So whatever we think, whatever I think.

Bob's underlying claim about the facility, the taxpayer exposure here came specifically from his choice of words as a public official.

All right.

That's worth discussing clearly from the police settlement comparison, which are a different category of city liability.

But anyway, I'm just building this story for y'all, right, painting this picture.

So I'm like, I gotta do something about this.

I gotta do something about this.

And obviously, I'm, you know, I'm very, I'm very, I'm an optimistic person.

I'm like, the city love me.

Milwaukee love me.

Black, brown, white, other.

They them, I get along.

We good.

We good.

The city gonna, I'm gonna run.

I'm gonna run.

I said I was going to do it.

I entered the race.

I entered the race, y'all.

In late 2023, I said I'm running for fourth district autumn.

I'm coming for you.

You think you're the only one up top?

But there's a new guy in town.

He's an entertainer.

2023.

Filed my papers to run against Bob for fourth district seat.

You couldn't tell me.

I want for the smoking.

You can tell me.

I knew he wasn't going to outwork me.

I knew he didn't have more community.

Access and leverage and real resources than me.

I knew he didn't.

So if he had to win, he was going to have to.

You feel what I'm saying?

He was going to have to do something.

But guess what?

A day after my Facebook, my Facebook announcement, y'all, a day after here come his wife, Bob Baume's wife, Tammy Bansner, Bansner, went on a crazy rant.

I'm talking about insane.

posted a series of comments on my page.

The wife of the person I'm running against gets on my page.

And leave some of the most disgusting things you could say.

Leave some of the most disgusting things that you could say.

I'm going to see if Brother Zeke could pull that up in the next break, but I'm going to read some of them.

I couldn't believe it, y'all.

I was in the couch doing my thing, chilling with the kids, wife.

My phone going crack.

Bling, bling, bling, bling, bling, bling, bling.

Like, what is going on?

I'm thinking.

I'm thinking.

Did I turn some paperwork in wrong or something?

Lo and behold, I get on Facebook, man.

and Tammy.

Among her folks, her posted comments, right?

That she later deleted.

But come on now.

You ain't quick it in a screenshot.

You ain't quick it in a screenshot, Tammy.

You're not quicker than me.

You're not quicker than me.

This is what she told me she said to me The person that's running against her husband Nitty clean up this neighborhood with your African-American constituents What do you mean by that ah I can't make this up

She didn't say this to her husband who been there for 20 years.

Like you really can't clean his neighborhood up, Bob.

You really should just retire.

You're not doing a good job, but this is how your wife feel about the community.

You telling me they didn't talk about this over green bean casserole?

Bruh.

You telling me that he's not the conversation that was happening over corn casserole?

Don't go anywhere y'all when we get back.

I'ma get into some more of these comments on the award-winning

one-on-one seven the truth

What up, y'all?

What up?

What up?

What up?

What up?

What up?

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome back.

Welcome back to the award-winning 1017, the truth.

This is The Great Vine with Ray Nitty on the award-winning 101.7FL.

Live from the American Family Insurance Studios.

We got a video, man.

We gonna take it back where my hair was a little shorter, man.

Let's see how I run this video, man.

24 coverage now a little more than two months before the spring primary controversy in the race from Milwaukee Alderman.

As Tony Sirius Sandlin reports, the wife of longtime Alderman Bob Bowman is lighting up social media with controversial comments on the Facebook page of her husband's potential opponent.

A Facebook announcement by a potential candidate from Milwaukee Alderman turned into a firestorm this

week.

A

bunch of

things that was posted on my page.

Rahanio Boynes wants to unseat Alderman Bob Bowman, whose district covers downtown and the west side.

His post was filled with comments from Bowman's wife, Tammy Bansmer.

Boyd's is black, Bansmer is white.

In one post she said quote, I'm just being honest because white people in my neighborhood are afraid to be honest because they fear being shot.

She went on to say quote, be the new voice.

Clean up this neighborhood with your African American constituents.

What do you mean?

Bowman says he was in shock.

I did get a screen shot and I was horrified.

And I literally woke her up and I said, what is this?

Take this stuff down immediately.

This is absurd.

I've lived in my neighborhood 26 years.

I'm happy there.

I feel safe there.

I wouldn't be living there still if I felt unsafe.

And they're just not my sentiments.

And I was really horrified.

Boyn says Bansmer's statements don't align with the feelings of the community.

They do come off like racially motivated tones.

But from what I'm hearing, she's saying that's not how she meant it.

What I will say is I don't believe that that is the thought process of everybody that lives in the district.

We asked Bowman about those racial undertones.

Do you think your wife was racist in doing this?

I don't think she is.

No, she's not in her heart, but I can see where those words come off.

Wow, boy hopes to put

this behind him to win the election.

I

don't want to focus too much on that, but focus on the needs of the people in the fourth district.

So Ria joins us now.

So Ria, we haven't heard from Tammy Bansmer yet.

Patrick, we did reach out to review social media.

We asked the alderman for her to comment.

We have not heard back.

Yeah, well.

That's what that's how that was days after I put my paperwork in by the way days after Not bad for just an entertainer, right?

But yeah, man, y'all seen some of them comments Clean up this neighborhood with your african-american stitch constituents white people in my neighborhood are afraid to be honest because they fear being shot How is it that white people in 5d 208 own homes have educations work every day pay their taxes?

Stop the group thinking with this class of those who choose to rely on others to pay for their lifestyle.

She even said, at one point, why don't I put my name on condoms and give them out for all the people

making babies?

Now we got to fight.

Where's my little sister at?

Because we like, no, that's what we're not going to do.

So then.

She went on she went on my page and said Why is this a black against white issue all lives matter?

And I'm like you the one that came here spinning all this I was chilling I Was chilling I'm gonna tell you what messed me up the most though, right?

I'm gonna tell you what messed me up the most how every elected official would remain quiet on

Everybody down at Common Council remained quiet on it.

Wait, so in her post, she said her white neighborhood or her white neighbors, but then said, you're African-American constituents.

Yeah.

And then asked you, why are you making it about race?

Exactly.

Then said, I need to be the voice of change and cleaning.

I was like, well, that's why I was running.

And maybe that's why your husband should retire.

Because clearly if this how you feel in your own home and neighborhood 20 years he ain't been getting the job done Right So it was so many things I encountered on this journey man so many things that I encountered from day one I had to deal with this type of thought and he was putting a lot of narratives in there the whole Oh, it's just some entertainer.

He's just some rapper running against.

He's not gonna do nothing

Yeah Not only that he never apologized Not to me or his constituents the same constituents that his wife insulted, right?

He got the hide behind the fact.

Oh, we're going through something and you know and then asked for privacy I was at home enjoying my privacy and your wife invaded my privacy with all this racism

And then here it is, you got news media asking me over and over and over again for me to talk about the racist comments that his wife made.

And do I think that they were racist?

What do you think?

You tell me what do you think?

Nobody pressured him to retire, to resign.

Nobody...

pressed him to give an apology.

No common council member stood up and denounced his

statements.

Nobody did none of that publicly.

Nobody did.

Yeah, we got issues.

100% we got issues.

100% we do.

Nobody said nothing.

Everybody wanted you to win, though.

Everybody wanted me to win.

Really?

He never had to apologize.

He never apologized.

Now, he came up to me, one point in city hall.

I ain't gonna act like he didn't reach out to, you know what I'm saying?

Like he didn't come up to me and it was like, but he said, I don't share those sentiments.

And I

hope we could still have a good race.

That's what was said to me.

He reached out to try to shake my hand.

I said, I ain't shake his hand.

I can't play these fake political games.

I could shake his hand.

I said, stop playing games with me.

Imagine if.

Could you imagine if Ray Nitty had said some anti-Semitic comments in the midst of this race?

You wouldn't be on this station right now.

I promise you that 100% what would have happened?

100% I would have had to apologize.

I would have had to gave a donation to a synagogue Go chop it up with a rabbi everything Nick Cannon had to do and Kyrie Irving and Kyrie But somebody the wife of an elected official can put these type of remarks out there on my page

Not an elected official.

Not an apology.

Nobody.

We want to talk about accountability.

Nobody.

So yeah, I'm in it now.

I'm going for blood.

We got to get down to this.

Nothing to this day.

Never apologize to the constituents to this day Never say I'm sorry for the words that would imagine if I would have said something hateful degrading sexist anti LGBTQ You damn right I wouldn't have been on this station today

You damn right, I wouldn't have been on this station today.

But that's the behavior that we allow.

Even in knocking the doors in the neighborhood, you hear about this.

Even in... I heard voicemails of his wife leaving voicemails down at City Hall and all these other things.

Do you have that audio?

I don't.

But you can put in an open request for a lot of these things.

We also put in an open request for all complaints about Bob Bowman.

You know what they said about, you know what their response was?

What?

It's too many to return?

We can't give it to you because it's too many to...

They said because it was so many complaints, they are not obligated to turn it in because it's so many to go through.

Wait, what?

Because there are so many complaints, they don't have to turn it in.

So you can't give me like the top five or like?

No, bro.

You get nothing because it's too many.

Which even is another problem?

Why does the order have so many complaints

that you don't?

And he still has a

job.

Come on, man.

Come on, man.

That's Teflon Bob, man.

That's Teflon Bob.

He probably was like, you think my wife is racist?

Wait until you see what I have next.

Don't go anywhere, y'all.

It's your boy Ray Nitty on the award-winning 1017.

The truth, this is the grapevine.

We'll be right back.

Wherever there's a need in our communities, there's a united way.

improving lives so everyone can thrive.

Where more people can gain access to health care and nutritious food for their tables.

Where more community members can benefit from financial education and get connected to local resources for housing support.

And where children are given more chances to reach their full potential.

Community is
