Stroger to Step Aside?
- Three months after suffering a serious stroke - and winning renomination in spite of it - Cook County Board President John Stroger is expected to withdraw this week and ask Democratic ward bosses to replace him on the November ticket with his son.
But the hereditary politics of Cook County live on:
- Ald. William Beavers (7th), self-declared spokesman for the Stroger family, has already started lining up votes for Ald. Todd Stroger (8th) and appears to be well on his way to securing a majority of the weighted votes of 80 ward and township committeemen to place the younger Stroger on the ballot, sources said.
Great. A member of the most crooked legislative body in recorded history is about to be handed the reins of one of the biggest political patronage machines in existence. All because he's daddy's boy. If this isn't a reason to be really disgusted with Illinois politics, we don't know what is.

Haiti had Papa Doc and Baby Doc.......now we have Papa Stroger and Baby Stroger. Only in America
All of this is complete horseshit. Claypool should be the one on the balot later this year not anyone of this morons.
I do love the statement in the article that was not posted in that one of the morons stated that black people came out in force and voted for stroger with huge support. If I am not correct I do believe the vegtable only won by 3% or so......not a huige victory
Your scaring me, you keep topping corruption, would you please stop, my heads about to blow my eyeballs.
Join the NRA we need your help! Only $35 dollars. Help protect the freedoms of honest Americans!
of course. the machine had time to garner sympathy, then to shove veggie boy jr or beaver into play.
peraica, i believe, is just another tool in place so that the above two have a chance to slip in.
listen to peraica roll his mouth but never stating his position on what he would do differently, making commercials, etc. when he asked me to volunteer for his campaign, he said one of his offices was right on archer. i called, and no campaign office there. no campaign office in summit either. the only campaign office is in westmont. strange.
THE MACHINE STILL ... LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!
When is Daley's stroke/massive heart attack comin?
Leo, that's a lame shame sham scam.
Did ya call him on it? Does he have eeeeeemailllllllllll,
i guess not, machine runnin.
What ever happened to Rep. Dan Burke, Eddie's bro what's he up to. Use to share office space with Eddie. No not for this position either. Looks like were gonna get a body pod again. Invasion of the body snatcher's. That's why it's all been Hush on the QT.
What about "Double Dip" FOP Donahue and Dougherty. I was at roll call this morning at SOS. They showed up to get their $400 a month to address roll calls. I thought Donahue and Dougherty got Cheif's pay ($170,000) and Capt's pay ($120,000). Were they there on FOP time. The other officers on the board get their $400 only if they attend roll calls on their own time. They are BOGUS.
Excuse off topic:
I have yet to see anything come out of the FOP hall rep's. showing up at roll call's. All this is pro stylin and nonsense. Just so as many p.o.'s as possible can recall them by face and feel akin to them. Were sincere B.S. is a grand way to market votes. What issue's get resolved during these scams. Please submit question's and number of people that will be present, before they even show. What a racket coming out of our pocket's, for what a suit. Come on rep's. what does this really accomplish in the long run and for whom in the end. If our dues are payin for this then were all insane. It should have been a trial run then ceased, it's useless to us unless they make you feel all warm and cozy inside. Yeah, I know some of them are good guys right and so what.

MORRISTOWN (WATE) -- A rally that was supposed to be peaceful ended with chaos Saturday afternoon outside the Hamblen County courthouse.
Things got testy for a while as police tried to stop a disabled veteran from carrying an American flag onto courthouse grounds.
Teddy Mitchell, 62, was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Tons of police were at the scene and the veteran was arrested because police said flag pole was to sharp for court house.

Enough of this nonsense, don't thet make enough already?
8 pay raises more than 23 percent.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Without much fanfare, the House of Representatives last week voted to give members of Congress yet another pay raise, as it has done almost every year for nearly a decade.
For some reason, our elected officials decided against holding a news conference. Maybe that's because they didn't want to draw attention to the fact that they raise their own salaries almost every year while refusing to raise the pay of our lowest-paid workers.
Congrats to the new SGTS.'s!!!!

A class of all females, lmao. nice try. i really like that cilantro gal tho.
I heard that they wanted to give the officers a heads up for the fourth of july weekend. Hard to believe they had the forsight.
Ohhh nevermind, busted by 6/28/2006 06:53:31 AM
The police are morons. Sgt's list...You people are the stupidest group of atoms ever put together. And you make fun of others. Geez.
SCC, did you catch this part of the article:
"
The complex political deal calls for Beavers, powerful chairman of the City Council's Budget Committee, to replace John Stroger as county commissioner and for Todd Stroger to replace his father as president of the board, where he would have no vote. Until the election, John Stroger would remain in office. If Beavers wins the seat, he would resign as 7th Ward alderman on the condition that Mayor Daley appoint his daughter to replace him.
...
Beavers, 71, has long made known his desire to retire and install his daughter -- now his chief of staff -- as his successor.
"
Are you out of your mind?? His daughter?? What is her qualifications?
Simple and quick fix to this problem:
LIFT THE GODDAMN RESIDENCY RULE!!!!
I'll work here and do a good job, but you can take my over-burdened taxes and go-no-where votes and shove it up your ass!
If there is any electorate in the nation where intelligent voters are consistenly forced to vote for the lesser of two evils, it's Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.
I'm not a Republican. Yet I'll jump off Sears Tower before I would ever vote for a Democrat.
Barr-Topinka has got my vote just for the aggravation of that inane barrage of Blagojevich TV ads ("What was she thinking?"). I get tired of clicking the "mute" button every time that Chinese water torture commercial airs.
Peraica or even an artichoke has got my vote over any of these filthy corrupt Democrats vying for Stroger's Cook Co. Board presidency.
shouldn't a replacement have to come from the existing board...otherwise why have the board??
Stroger to step down or roll over and drool?
All those stuid people who voted for a dead man in the first place will get what they deserved.
Best part is the number of Irish democrats who will, like the lemmings throwing themselves over a cliff, vote will blacks and perpetuate this travesty. The rest of the country laughs at us.
this city sucks!!!!!!!!!!
My wife works in the hospital and the nurses all know the Stroger is a mess. He can't walk, speak or show any signs of intelligence. But then again he never could.... All hospital staff were threatened with lawsuits and firings if they told the media about any of this and no camera phones are allowed near his room. Plain clothes security sit down stairs and outside his room to prevent anyone getting a peek and 3 of the 4 are off duty sheriffs looking to get promoted. This city is going to get a lot worse and it all begins this summer. There will be a huge riot somewhere on the Westside (probably starting at Garfield park) and it will burn from there. Read the writing on the wall!
The African Americans on the Westside are getting away with everything. Here is a list after spending 4 years working there.
What they get away with:
1. Drinking and driving
2. smoking weed
3. gambling on the street
4. drinking on the publicway
5. selling weed
6. selling crack/heroin
7. domestic violence
8. selling bootleg dvds and cds
9. child abandonment
10. driving without a license
11. driving a stolen rental car
12. running from the police
13. double and tripple parking
14. walking a dog without a leash
15. fighting dogs
16. battery
17. assault
18. parking violations
19. not having building permits
20. traffic warrants
The westsiders think they should never be arrested because they got kids to feed and cant find a job. If you ever drive through you may think do they ever go on vacation out of town? NO they dont! This is a vacation!! they don't work , they collect a check from the Government for some bullshit, they sell drugs or dvd's bootlegs , they get together and drink and smoke weed and gamble or play music really fucking loud and then the police come by and they spit and yell and run. What a fucking life. They are old children... not adults ....they have no clue what responsibilty is unless it has to do with selling drugs or buying rubbers. The reason the churches on the westside are always full is because there are more sinners there than any other part of the city..... just because they go to church they think they are forgiven and then go rite back out there and do it again week after week. I left the westside 4 months ago and I don't miss any of it. The cops that stay are there for the court time $$$. But as soon as they can they should make a move and go where there are real victims and where people actually are happy to see you and give you a break on lunch. Go where you might actually see a good looking girl who has a job , went to college , doesnt have kids by three other daddies and has not been arrested. Enjoy your life NOW!!! not when you retire and die three months later.
YOU THINK THE MULES KNOW OF THE RE-ASSIGNMENT OF POLICE POWERS
Oak Lawn police chase down, capture accused carjackers
Wednesday, June 28, 2006
Cops: Dirty rotten scoundrels found in trash bin
A carjacking at 103rd Street and Pulaski Road ended with Oak Lawn police finding the suspected gunman and his accomplice in a trash bin.
The driver of a 2003 Ford Explorer called police on his cell phone about 4 p.m. after two young men ordered him out of his vehicle at gunpoint Monday. He watched as they fled north on Pulaski.
Cops picked up the Explorer's trail at 95th Street and Kilbourn Avenue and saw the sport utility vehicle head into a shopping center parking lot, according to Lt. Michael Murray.
As the carjackers raced to the rear of the strip mall, Murray said, they tossed a .357-caliber handgun from a car window.
The driver lost control of the SUV and slammed into a parked car. The two fled on foot, with police close behind. The chase ended at the Oak Lawn ice arena, 9320 S. Kenton Ave., where officers found the pair crouched in a Dumpster.
Veron Terrell, 16, of 3300 block of West Douglas Avenue, was the wheelman, police said.
Marcus Funches, 21, 2300 block of West Monroe Street, is accused of being the gunman.
Murray said police found the ditched weapon.
Funches and Terrell both were booked on adult felony vehicular hijacking charges, according to Cook County state's attorney's office, spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said.
Cook County Circuit Judge James Ryan set bail at $250,000 for each of the offenders, Simonton said.
CONGRATS !! In 4 years you learned what is really going on !! AMEN !!
More Daley Bullshit.....Sorich was just found NOT GUILTY on all counts....can u believe it.....he's even got the jurors on the take !!!!
In the interests of brevity and conservation of space please place the number of the below listed generic response starters at the beginning of your post. Then, add your personal attacks and, finally, launch your diatribe. For instance,
Number Six (Generic Response Starter)
You old useless blah, blah, blah (Personal Attack)
I was with your wife last night and she said etc. (Diatribe)
1. “I’ve got two years on the job and I work in a fast district where we rock.”
2. “You’re a two year, know-nothing wonder.”
3. “Yeah, well, I’ve got fifteen years on the job and been there and seen that.”
4. “Big deal. Fifteen years in a slow, do- nothing district.”
5. “In my thirty years on the job, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
6. “Thirty years! Retire you useless dinosaur. Go change your drool cup, pops.”
Malcolmz's little stain, you f'in fool. Stroker got what he deserved!
Living like a pompous sty denizen, he went the route of Old Harold. Eatin the skin off every chicken in the bucket and rubin the butter from a butt plug onto the soppin bread for dessert!
He had the arogant audacity to name a "monumental" hospital for himself instead of leaving it "Cook Co." . What's next ?, placing his chubby mug on a fitty cent stamp. Who the f^&* would use it, some illiterate west side ink-pen pal.
Stroker always was and is a bumbling vacummous black hole of taxpayer waste and the black caucous poster child for zero discipline. Tony Peraica should pound everyone but is being a gentleman while Stroker degrades. Claypool is at least understandable, and over qualified for Strokers seat.
And get this straight M's LB. You are Black not African American, you were not born in Africa, your momma and sperm sample were born there either. Africa would deny your entry if you ever decided to visit your "homeland".
Better yet go there for a vacation, instead of a vacation out in the hundreds. Perhaps one of Stokers cousins in the jungle will carry your luggage and give it a durability test.
Shed a tear little Malcumm.
Baby Stroker was spotted at the Cemetery on 67th and Cottage buying the spot next to Harold Washington. fo his daddy

What are you talking about? As of this post, the jury has had the case for about an hour. Just enough time to order lunch.
Shaniqua Suggs, the mama of Marcus Funches:
"Marcus a good boy. He worked to name our street after Chairman Fred. He was the val-a-dick-tor-ian at Marshall HS. I gonna tell Rev. Jakes about the pig motherfuckers and racial profiling. We gonna sue."
Zenobia Jackson, Terrell's mama:
"Veron be my sweetest baby. It was a set-up. He always used to help Fr. McCormack at the church on Douglas. He was working for the older boys so he could buy him an Escalade. This is racist! I'm gonna call Rev. Meeks and Jesse Jackson."
Beavers of course wants to say if this doesnt happen its because its racist, white people do it all the time. Typical fuckin animal. What a shit city this is but Im going to continue to collect a pay check and not do a dam thing! Not in this department not in this city. Hey an extra check coming on the 7th, I paid for not doing a dam thing, at least the city is ok in that reguards.
If there is a riot this summer, it will start in Garfield Park. The worst encounters between rioters and the CPD will occur on the west side of Pulaski Road between Madison and the Ike.
History repeats itself...sporadic sniping, arson, looting and 10-1's all over West Side from Western to Austin, particularly on or near Madison St.
No CPD lasers allowed...
s/A Vet of CPD riots.
The back copy of the sgt test is supposed to be mailed to your house within three weeks. Got it from a good source.

So nothing has changed, you're still and has always been a do nothing "MFer". Don't try to blame it on the politicians, they were here years before you came and will be here after you leave. You choose to join the police department, you weren't pressed into service
Off Topic...
There is an interesting show about
the NYPD, and their anti/counter terrorism unit.
I'm sure CPD can match this.
"New York's Secret War"
Next showings:
Court TV network
Sunday, 02 July, 10:00pm
Monday, 03 July, 2:00am
So the powers that be (i.e. Personnel Div) realized what a complete JOKE it was to not let us leave with at least our copy of the multiple choice? Good job, now get back to your 2 hour lunch and do nothing for the rest of the day, ya inside mutts.
I heard Donahue may get indicted on ghost pay rolling.
Ant truth to the rumor that Donahues' name appears on the clout list uncovered recently. If so "lucy you got some explaining to do".............
Todd Stroger is a man of integrity and sound judgement. He is the perfect replacment for the iconic John Stroger. We should all muster as much support as possible for the outstanding politician and gentelman.
Fu#% them democrates vote Republican
If a "crack ho's douche bag" had the best chance at beating ANY Democrapic "politician", I'd:
X = "crack ho douche bag"
However, the Dems would probably run "pile of shit" as an "independent" stalking horse just to divide our vote.
I hope that Irish fuck gets exactly what he deserves. That would be to good to be true.
If you think she is the first female officer on this job to use her love hole to get ahead, well your stupid. How many of these bitches who never even locked up a bad guy has been promoted via the pussy connection? Its a fucking joke. Never had to tackle a bad guy, never was IOD from injuries and never did any police work.
Five hours and counting...
TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK...
Next, the 800-pound gorilla Daley is led into MCC in cuffs and leg irons.
The African Americans on the Westside are getting away with everything. Here is a list after spending 4 years working there.
What they get away with:
What kind of "Fing" moron are you?
Where the hell did you come up with this list of things, that Only African Americans get away with?
Nobody else of any other race, break these laws, committ infractions of these rules?
I hope your so called nurse wife, isn't half as goofy as you sound.
Maybe you should take your 4 years on the Job, know nothing ass somewhere and try to impress some of your inbred relatives
INFO ON NEXT DETECTIVE CLASS:
I have been informed by several individuals whom work at the acdemey, personel and area detectives as well as those that just got made, that the next class will start in sepetember. Same class size as the other two about 50 or so. Every individual has told me sometime in Sepetember. Apartently the D unit is very short and they are all bitchen about the case loads and when the next class is to start. However, we ALL known that when they start to ask for the merit wonders its usually about a month away the class starts.
City settles for $4.25 million to Ronyale White homicide survivors (her 3 children).
5th Dist. (D. Cornelius & C. Green) responded too late to save her life.
Fox 32 has just announced Sorich found guilty on all counts !!
Beavers sez "It's OK for Whitey" !!
05:26
The only guilt to be determined thus far is yours. These false posts prove you're guilty of being a moron.
I used my cell phone camera to take pics of the whole sgt. test. I have copies if u want.
RE: Info on next det's class:
Please blow off the dust on your 5th grade speller.
FYI: If you want to be a dic you have to write a lot of reports. You don't want anyone of those reports in your face at trial by a defense attny. ASA's cringe at sh@# reports, too.
Hello, Chicago
I am a 6-10 sophomore from the University of Texas. I was just drafted by the Bulls as second overall choice after the 7-0 Italian guy. I will bring the Bulls back to the NBA Championship.
Due to trades with Portland and Philadelphia, the Bulls two First Round picks are:
Tyrus "Baby Shaq" Thomas 6-9 LSU
Thabo Sefolosha 6-7 Switzerland
nobody cares
Dear Ald Beavers.......your race card has a bent corner !!!! I want a re-deal !!!!
The jury on the Sorich trial just ordered pizzas with everything on it if that means anything !!
The Exempt member you are talking about who you shared a blowjob with you for promotions gave me anal warts and thats all !!!!
Captains to be announced Friday ....
Didn't Claypool concede at least 24 hr's prior to all vote's being counted, why if so. Was there not video of box's of ballot's, yeah I Know, they said they were not ballot's unsecured by contracter. Was this not the 1st time the new voting machine was used? Didn't other state's refuse the use of machine's when they discovered election judge's could enter the system thereby having the ability to alter vote's.
Maybe Stroger saga should be viewed different. Expl., he is severly disabled, public has not heard or seen him, Hse. sold. Ditto for all except tease Beaver's with an agenda and likewise son and a few select other's also with agenda's and deal's, cty. brd. allege to be owing. Thought he was a public servant like them? Food for thought twist. How does anyone know this is not taking advantage of the elderly disabled. What because of what Todd and Beaver's say's. Has CPD done a well being ck., right no reason or ability, no concern anywhere, fishy. Why can't he speak or write to show he is capable of a major decision. Time to look at the stakes, his well being and the taxpayer's right's. Todd hiding behind HIP. How many of you trust these minister poltics who are drooling even more.
Why do the juveniles have to post insulting queer porn inflammatory trash on a blog that is oriented to Chicago police officers? This crap is what I’d expect of the scum we arrest. I guess you want SCC to fold up and go away rather then spending his life deleting the garbage.
Can’t we have a little dignity around here, please?
This is all been very informative and I can't wait for the next round of idiot comments. I think some newspaper persons have invaded this blog so as to have stories some day.
Well, goodnight Mrs. Kalabash where ever you are.
THIS JOB IS FUCKING OUT OF CONTROL.... The 009th District Commander ordered a Homicide to be documented as a Death Investigation.
Since when is a .12 Gauge Blast to the Head an Investigation? Its a FUCKING Murder.
The Medical Examiner will rule it a Homicide in spite of the Commanders efforts to kill crime. Cant hide the body. Death at the hands of another is a HOMICIDE.....
No wonder moral is at an all time low, we work for idiots.
I'm first to say I'm not first "Phuck Ya'll.
Peter Karl, Bob Wallace, SCC, all propaganda !!
$71.2 MILLION dollar settlement with the city.
On a lawsuit out of housing west were P.O. flipped civilians car and paralized citizen, during car case on 290.

Sorry but your wrong, it's not reported as a homicide, if you're referring to last nights incident on 38th pl. There was no intent to kill on the part of the owner, definetely justifible though, should have been a burglary case report offender killed by victim in self-defense in fear for his life during commission of crime....great job homeowner.
Hey genius!! It still is a homicide, even if it is in self-defense. Ever hear of a justifible homicide?
Even if the shooter sis not mean to kill the victim it still is a homicide. The definition of a homicide is death from the hands of another.
Idiot points a gun at the police, offender is shot and killed, the case report is an aggravated assault not a homicide. The ME's office has only a few ways to classify a death. That is the way THEY do things. The FBI, uses our case reports for their stats, just like our department does. You can use the ucr 0150 if it makes you feel any better.....
Hey genius!! It still is a homicide, even if it is in self-defense. Ever hear of a justifible homicide?

In my post, if you bothered to really read it, i said it was justifiable but not reported as a homicide, ok genius? man, kids on this job these days.....
