IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON WHEN EVERYONE GETS A LITTLE BIT NICER.

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF IT WAS LIKE THAT YEAR ROUND?

BUT IT'S NOT.. WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE 7 ON YOUR SIDE, TO CHEER PEOPLE UP WHEN THEY NEED IT THE MOST.

ROSS MCLAUGHLIN HAS THE DETAILS.

Story:

THE EMAIL AND THE CALLS NEVER STOP..THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE SEEKING A LITTLE JUSTICE AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE SOME THINGS TO CELEBRATE.

 

 Ross: "I want to talk to you about these DVD's your selling in the parking lot."

SOMETIMES WE NEED TO CHASE PEOPLE DOWN.

Ross: "Okay let's run."

OTHER TIMES WE HAVE TO CONFRONT THEM AT HOME.

Ross: "Hello Mr Brennan, I'm Ross McLaughlin 7 On Your Side."

OR GO UNDERCOVER TO EXPOSE A PROBLEM..

Adrian Barnes: "What I'm going to do I don't need a license for."

THE GOAL IS ALWAYS THE SAME.

Ross: "How much money did you give him?"

Percy Jacobs: "I didn't take anything from her. I got paperwork in the car."

Ross: "How much money did you give him?"

Lena Washington: "About 20 thousand."

SOMETIMES IT'S MONEY.

Emily Steplowski: "I have money in the bank."

Bob Mikolitch: "Oh that's awesome."

Ross: "Your ticket's being dismissed."

Elisa Mills: "Yes!"

SOMETIMES IT'S...

Greg Schoenborn: "My wife being killed by a Metro bus."

SAFETY...

Ross: "that bus is going 35...going through a yellow light. Red light."

WE EXPOSED METRO BUSES BREAKING THE RULES OF THE ROAD AND PROMPTED METRO TO STEP UP TRAINING. PLUS...

Ross: "Disgusting?"

Martha Pomajambo:"Yeah, really,really disgusting."

WE GOT BUG INFESTED RICE PULLED FROM THE SHELVES. EXPOSED LEAD IN DINNER WARE...

Dr. : "These plates are hazardous to your health."

REVEALED DAMAGING CHEMICALS ON THE ROAD. WHETHER BIG OR SMALL IT ALL COMES BACK TO ONE THING. RESPONDING TO YOU AND YOUR COMPLAINTS.

Nora Stajka: "Thank you, God bless you."

THAT MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE. AND SO DOES THIS SINCE.
