Question
What is Dave saying about the incident that occurred this month in Chicago?  Is he taking any responsibility for the actions of the tour bus driver who dumped 800 pounds of human waste on the tourists on the Chicago river?  Will the driver keep his job?

Answer
Hey JT. As of right now DMB is denying that they had anything to do with the dumping incident. It is not even for sure that it was them but a couple eye witnesses and supposedly a survalence tape has placed DMB as the main suspect. An Illinois State Attorney is placing blame and sueing DMB according to CBS 2 Chicago. You can read up on it here:

I saw the picture from the survalence tape and the bus they show is black and white and I know for a fact that Dave drives an all black bus. So I found a little interesting.

Police supposedly inspected the bus's waste tank after the incident only to find it nearly full. The driver claims that he was dropping dave off at an airport at the time of the incident.

There is a lot of conflicting information floating around as to what really happend and where and at what time the buses were. The link above should be pretty informative. Let me know if there is anything else I can do!
