NO KIDDING
BALTIMORE -- An investigation into allegations of cheating by firefighters on a promotional exam found strong evidence supporting the claims, Mayor Sheila Dixon said Friday.
The city inspector general's report found that as many as six firefighters compromised the exam by either having prior knowledge of the questions, having studied with someone who did or having copied answers from someone who had prior knowledge of the test questions, WBAL TV 11 News reporter David Collins said.
The investigation found that the firefighters who took the test in July studied from a 2001 exam, which is not allowed under department rules. Dixon told WBAL TV 11 News that she had no idea how the firefighters got a copy of the previous exam.

Do you think it would have been smarter to get a few wrong ?
The black firefighters union and others branded the cheating allegations as racially motivated. They were not just African Americans and that was the allegation," said Marvin Doc Cheatham, NAACP.
