Learning the WRONG Lesson

From the Sun Times:
  • The Daley administration has 600 bureaucrats earning more money than Chicago aldermen -- with annual salaries of more than $100,000 -- bolstering the case for an aldermanic pay raise, an influential alderman said Thursday. [emphasis added - SCC]
So, because 600 other people earn more than $100,000 a year, aldercreatures are supposed to get over $100,000? Maybe the lesson here should be there are too many people/bureaucrats earning too much money and there ought to be more than a few pay cuts?

At least a factory worker produces something tangible. A construction worker leaves behind evidence of his hard work. Even a ditch digger makes an impression upon the earth. What does a bureaucrat leave behind? Paperwork? Insane regulations of goose liver and fashion chic? Convoluted work rules and procedure manuals? And for this they want $100,000 a year?

Hey Bernie Stone? Go get a real job, you leech. Or do what other aldercreatures do - side job. At least we can grudgingly respect the ones who go out and use their law degrees to scam a few extra bucks in addition to their already inflated salaries for a part time job. Keep pointing out how Daley's administration is probably overpaying at least 550 of those 600 people while raising taxes and user fees and selling everything in sight. Asshat.

Have you ever met a copper who ADMITS he voted for Daley? I haven't, yet in those Northwest and Southwest side wards he gains TONS and TONS of votes.

It's time for a revolution!! We need a benevolent dicator, or at least, a Socialist.

We need to blow up city, county, state, and federal gov't all at once!!!!!! All forms of government r so bloated its insane. Gov't takes very few cues from the private sector. The one they need to take is massive downsizing in the middle and especially at the top. Employees in the private sector r putting in 60hrs a week to make 100k. The people in gov't aern't putting in 60 minutes worth of work a day. Thats to make more money, have a pension, and pay very little for their health insurance. Its disgraceful!!!

America has become an empire. Just like when the British and French were colonizing everything in the 20th Century and their empires spanned the globe, and now they are shadows of their former selves.

We too are on course to suffer from a similar fate. Look at the evidence, 50 aldercreature (asshats) who act as if they are roman nobility and a Mayor who acts like Julius Ceasar.

It will take a revolution to get rid of them!

This city is extremely top heavy; political patronage. They desperately need to trim the fat.

When I worked as a temp for Revenue, there were so many shortages in other depts., not to mention the sheer stupidity of the 311 operators. They dumped everything on us.

When we needed people on the phones, walkin's, etc., there were some black people in different depts who would get together in groups and bitch about how they were overworked, mistreated, etc because they are black. You had to listen to this shit while trying to work and be professional. They need to dump the worthless people in many of these depts. as well.

Our Mayor is a complete bozo. His focus is on art, dumb sculptures, bicycle trails, etc. We already have enough bells and whistles here, and need to improve oher areas!! Thanks to him, major businesses that employ several hundred people have moved N/NW of the city.

I have met a lot of people who are trying to make a decent living that reside out in my area, Englewood, Bridgeport, Bronzeville, that commute over 4 hours plus a day, because the jobs are not in our area. In fact, I'm temping and one of the other temps comes from Hammond, Ind. Had some great job offers out in Naperville, Lombard, Downers Grove, etc but the commute is extremely long and difficult in many of these places.

Next time you guys/gals are on yor beat and it's slow (hard to say, since you're short out here), look around and you'll see what type of businesses are on your beat! Especially anywhere in the southern part of the city, where it's cheaper to live!!

Thanks Mayor!!!!

I would really love to see King Richard taken out of his 5th floor HQ in handcuffs on March 4th when he is arrested by the Feds ala Mayor Blase in Niles.

Why March 4th? Because that is the birthday of the City of Chicago. I could think of no better present to the City than to have that corrupt arrogant prick led out in cuffs on March 4th.

Now that would send a message, although in this town the message would be for some other corrupt slime bucket to line up support to become the next Eugene Sawyer, uh, interim mayor.

If US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald doesn't run for mayor we are doomed to forever have corrupt slime running the show here.

One thing the article forgot to mention was that the position of alderman is a PART TIME position!! And in addition to all the clout their "job" brings they also get a stipend! I doubt that their is one alderman or woman who works 60 hrs a week - get real. Its time for a referendum - limit their terms of office!!

8:12 a.m. I agree 100%,But what will it take to light a fire under the feet of Americans to tell all these Politicians that we've had enough.
These so called servants of the people in Chicago,Cook County,and Illinois are like a uncureable cancer. In order to get rid of cancer that consumes everything in sight we need a total cleansing of it.We need to start by not continually re-electing these same politicians. Some these people have been in office longer than I can recall. We need to demand a referendum on the ballots on set number of terms in office.1# Two terms for Mayor,County President, and Govenor,2# Four terms for Alderman,County Commisioner,State Congressman, and State Senator.
We also have to take alot of the power the Mayor now has away. He should not be able to hand pick every head of departments ie;Police Superintendent,Fire Commisioner,School Board President, etc...They should submitt a Resume just like in the private sector and the best qualified person should be appointed by a majority vote of the City Counsiland awarded a non-voidable contract. That way the head of each department can serve the people of Chicago without fear of the Mayor giving him the axe for not doing what he says or demands.3# Demand a freeze on non-essential public work for a number of years until the budget is balanced, example;no more fucking million of tax dollars on fuking beans!!!!!4# A Federal oversight making sure the city is in full compliance.
After all this we can start the samething over in D.C. with all those whores in office there. Demand just cause for raising taxes,rising fuel costs,raiding pensions,social security,and on and on.... Bring on the revolution!!!!!!!!!!

The instructors teach the new officers to RUN-DUCK-HIDE! They don't want police shootings. The old training was that if you hurt a cop, you ended up in the hospital, you shoot a cop you ended up at the morgue. I personally prefer and use the old style of police work.

7 Administrators at FOP. They do not want you to know that they make approx. $120,000 a year and Donahue makes approx. $170,000 a year. Why won't the FOP publish their salaries in the FOP newsletter? The members have a right to know. Did you know the the FOP sell their BFds and P-Days at their Capts.' rank and exempt rank. WHy do the FOP boys refuse to publish their entire salaries in the FOP Newsletter. Lets also talk about Donahue's car. Who is paying for the auto. Should that be in the newsletter?

Hey kid, get it right. Yes as President of the FOP 7 Lodge I make in excess of $170,000.00 a year. I also get a ton of free trips and out-of-state golf outings. Oh, don't forget all those working gals and their special services they perform on us when we are away! We get an unlimited expense account to eat and drink at the most expensive places while on "business". I get a free vehicle with the gas, car insurance and repairs all for free. I get to take guests out when they visit the City and rack up big restaurant and bar bills. I get gifts from companies wanting o do business with the police. I get cash bonuses for all you stupid fucks who sign up for the rip off car, disability and other insurance policies we push to out members. Kid, the salary isn't shit to me. We make 5 times more on all the things we got going! So shut your pie hole kid. Everybody knows that no matter what position of power you hold in this City, your going to make a ton of cash off all the slackers and dumb fucks like you who never achieve any importance in life. I earned all these perks being President of the FOP. I demand to be treated as a President, not some P.O. like you in some ghetto beat. So get lost and don't rock the boat or you may be thrown from it!

Thank You,
President of the FOP

The kid killed the unarmed victim over a dice game and tried claiming self -defense even after he shot the victim 4 times. This all occurred well after curfew time, during the school year. He admitted that he thought having the gun was a cool thing. Good job ny the P/O's and the Dict's.

Channel five, although a direct frequency (not a duplex)can be monitored and recorded. There is enough receiving antennas in the city to do that. Just becuase they only work for a few blocks the actually transmission can be picked up as far a 2 miles in the city.

I just saw where the mother of the california woman who was raped by that animal and tossed out of a CHA hi-rise window filed a $100 Million lawsuit against the City and unknown CPD officers listed as Officers Jane Doe and John Doe. THe complaint was 16 pages long. I read it in its entirty at CLTV.com.

The sad thing is, that nowhere is there any mention of that motherfucker Powell (the offender) in the case.

The whole thing is absurd. I mean if she was so mentally ill, where were her parents? They should have prevented her from travelling here in the first place. They only surface after the fact to point fingers at the Police.

What a great country, huh? There is no personal accountability anymore. Everyone can be blamed for everything..lets just pass-the-buck.

I mean it's very sad..but too fucking bad!There were rumors that she was here working as an escort or stripper. It's hazardous work!

THIS BEING SAID, I THINK A REASONALBE PERSON COULD CONCLUDE BASED ON THE TESTIMONY FROM THE CURRENT TRIAL THAT THE SAME TYPE OF PROMOTION PROCESS HAS/IS TAKING PLACE ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I KNOW THEY HAVE THE MERITORIOUS SPOTS TO TKAE CARE OF THEIR , HOW WAS IT PUT IN TRIAL, "MADE GUYS", BUT I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE IT STOPS THERE. I AM NOT SAYING THAT ALL PROMOTIONS ARE A SHAM, BUT I DO BELIEVE BASED ON THIS CULTURE OF CORRUPTION INSIDE CITY HALL, THAT THIS TEST RIGGING HAD PERMEATED INTO THE CPD.

I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY INSIGHTFUL FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE INCLUDING SCC, TO POST THOSE "MADE GUYS" WHO WERE PROMOTED OR ARE IN SPOTS. THE VERY GUYS WHO HAVE NEVER EXHIBITED OR DEMONSTRATED ANY TYPE OF POLICE WORK OR REAL POLICE KNOWLEDGE, I.E. NEVER BEEN TO COURT, DID A SEARCH WARRANT, BEEN SUED, AND SO ON.
