**UPDATE -12/07/2016**

Three additional letters were received confirming that complaints against Det. Michael Gibbons and two additional NLR Alderman were received today.

It was strange that instead of placing all 11 letters in one large manila envelope, each was mailed separately. The four page letters were not stapled together, instead a paper clip was used to hold them together.

It's nice to know that the Ethics Commission has a large budget to accomidate these strange practices.
