Shit tit worker in deep crap

From the Brooklyn Eagle:

A Brooklyn sewage treatment worker with the city’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was arrested this week on a charge of submitting a forged letter purportedly from his DEP supervisor to the city’s Department of Buildings (DOB) in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a Site Safety Manager’s license.

The letter falsely claimed the defendant had supervisory construction experience at DEP, according to the criminal complaint. The city’s Department of Investigation (DOI) opened an investigation after the Buildings Special Investigations Unit, a specialized unit that is supervised by DOI and includes staff from DOB, questioned the claims in the defendant’s letter. The office of New York County District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. is prosecuting the case.

Alvaro Mora, 44, of Woodside, Queens, has been charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, a class D felony, and offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree, a class E felony. Upon conviction, a class D felony is punishable by up to seven years in prison and a class E felony by up to four years in prison.

DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said, “Fabricating experience is a foolish way to seek a city-issued license, especially where the fraud, if successful, would have compromised the safety of New Yorkers. This arrest is a stern reminder that individuals who flout the rules and willfully disregard construction safety will be held accountable.”

In March 2009, DOB denied Mora’s application for a Site Safety Manager’s license because he did not submit the required letters from his supervisors describing his construction experience. In May 2009, Mora resubmitted his application and asked for reconsideration for the license.

Meanwhile the corrupt politicos and their developer pals break the law and get to line their pockets with no punishment.
