A female Minneapolis firefighter has accused Fire Chief Bonnie Bleskachek of sexual harassment, job discrimination and retaliation, the third firefighter to sue Bleskachek in the past three weeks. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Hennepin County District Court by Kristina Lemon, a captain who has worked as a city firefighter since 1995.The suit, which also names the city as a defendant, alleges that Bleskachek repeatedly made sexual advances toward Lemon, a self-described lesbian who said she is in a committed relationship with another firefighter in the department.

For the third time in three weeks, a female firefighter has brought a sexual harassment and discrimination suit against the female chief.

Damn, that's an ugly... er woman. I bet she's packing or can breathe thru her ears.

[The Great RJ]

But I bet the Department is still biased in hiring left handed transexuals. (sarcasm)

The only thing funnier than the Fire-cheif's scandal in Minneapolis (Liberal Lakes) is their continuing obsession with getting just the right (female and black)school superintendent. Unfortunately they can't seem to find one that also has the degrees purported on her resume.

Who is that, Ross from Friends?

Seriously though, that limpwrist pinko mayor swore up and down that a lesbian fire chief would be the greatest thing for Minneapolis since Purple Rain.

[FearlessFreep]

They should take away her licker license.

"There's humiliation, the mental anguish that she's suffered from having to deal with this for years," said Greg Luce, Kristina Lemon's Attorney.

Her attorney says Bleskachek's partner threatened Captain Lemon's partner in a recorded phone message. Part of that message sounded like this, "Don't think for a minute that I won't drive up to your house and knock on the door and we'll have the [expletive] thing right out in the open. She [Lemon] doesn't want to [expletive] with me, so I suggest you find a way to steer her out of my direction."

Given the short amount of time most of these women have been firefighters and how quickly they were promoted, it appears affirmative action is alive and well in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota.
