Corruption Corruption Everywhere

One would think that Illinois doesn't even function without some level of corruption built into the very structures of the political framework. They'd be right.

We have the Hired Truck and other hiring scandals taking apart City Hall at the moment. Hopefully, more convictions and prison sentences will be forthcoming. Now we have Governor Blago's own little mini scandal popping up in the news:
  • Gov. Blagojevich defended his administration Saturday against a new barrage of allegations that his administration engaged in illegal political hiring, insisting that recent scandals are fallout from his attempts to "ferret out wrongdoing" in Springfield.
Sure Rod. You coming from one of the most politically connected families this side of the mayor's has nothing to do with the fact that the feebs are finding curious habits of the Machine repeated on the state level. And now, Cook County corruption is coming to the fore:
  • The niece of a high-ranking Cook County state's attorney employee has been charged with theft in connection with an alleged scheme to shake down people trying to reclaim assets seized during criminal investigations, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
Golly. A relative of a high ranking official (who probably got the job because of the high ranking official) stands accused of corruption. Who'd have thought that could ever happen? In Illinois? Wow.

Blago was a ghost payroller at city hall before he graduated to the governors mansion. He also was a dui in 17 before the officer was railroaded from doing his job. Nobody has worse corruption then our beloved CPD (supervisors of course).

2510 Sgt. Clancy -

As someone said much earlier, you were a do-nothing blue shirt in 023 and are now a do-nothing white shirt in 025. The guys and gals on your watch work hard and don't appreciate the wet sponge treatment at roll-call. We are all adults. You don't have to dictate to us what is inappropriate and what is not. Save your rants for your 3 hour lunches with Sherman and McIninerny. Your lack of leadership, perspective and tact are a slap in the face. I'd leave my name here but I personally don't feel like doing "parking lot" security for the next 30 days. Why don't you do a ride-along with Schultz, Jerome or Stoppa to see how the real sergeants do it.

Gov. Blago refuses to live in the Governor's Mansion.The Illinois State Police Officer I talked to who was assigned to the Governor's Body Guard Detail told us why Gov. Blago lives here in Chicago and not in the Governor's Mansion.

Word is that the Governor's Mansion has very high ceilings. Blago says the high ceilings makes him appear smaller that his short body is. His Chicago residence was built with 7&1/4 foot ceilings (Most homes are 8 feet , the mansion varies from 12 feet to 16 feet depnding on the room).

Blago had his residence ceilings at 7feet 3inches to make him appear taller to guests visiting his residence.


(I think Ronald Forgue also had his ceilings done at 6 feet to make him look taller than the 5'2" that he is)

In sunday's Sun Times, page one story how the Illinois state police are proud of the FACT that they wrote in 2005 4,065 tickets on I-94 in crook county (dan ryan & kennedy) which equals just over 11 (eleven a "DAY") and 925 tickets on I-55 (stevenson) or TWO and a half a day average. GREAT JOB guys!

I'd bet there are more cracked windshields from the uncovered and overweight trucks being driven by unlicensed undocumented foreign nationals. This could also be why our city streets have everyone driving at 55 MPH. They can't do 55 on the x-way or they'll be rear-ended.

Every car must bring in at least one 6 pack of domestic brand beer a night off minor drinkers so his "In-Car" cooler is always stocked. Lt.

Information for the police:

Roger Ebert was rushed to surgery today due to complications from cancer surgery. Personally, I hope he suffers the ultimate complication and dies. Then he could personally explain to murdered policeman Daniel Faulkner why he championed freedom for the officers murderer, Mumia Abu Jamal. But somehow I dont't think Ebert would be going to the same place Officer Faulkner went to.

There will be one more class off the old list, probably around 75 or so, depending on what we are short; the department NEVER promotes in the summer so don't expect anything till the fall at the earliest. The class will do the 90 day stint in the D-unit before going back to the academy for their month long training for SGT. This is the truth......

Judge rubs out mob cops verdict

Overturns convictions on time technicality

BY JOHN MARZULLI
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


Louis Eppolito

Despite having murdered, maimed and sold out informants to blood-thirsty mobsters, the Mafia cops' racketeering conviction was stunningly overturned yesterday - all because they apparently steered clear of the mob for the last five years.
The ruling left prosecutors and victims' relatives speechless, and even seemed to surprise allies of ex-NYPD Detectives Louis Eppolito. and Stephen Caracappa.

Brooklyn Federal Judge Jack Weinstein acknowledged there was no doubt the disgraced duo were hit men for the mob - guilty of being the most corrupt cops in NYPD history.

Yet he still threw out the convictions, which carried life sentences, on a technicality.

"The evidence at trial overwhelmingly established the defendants' participation in a large number of heinous and violent crimes," Weinstein, 84, wrote.

"Nevertheless . . . the five-year statute of limitations mandates granting the defendants a judgment of acquittal on the key charge against them: racketeering conspiracy," a decision that the judge admitted would appear "peculiar to many people."

Merit was not asked for dumbass. And there is nothing to report on the Sergeants. Like the above stated, why intentionally lie about people's careers when the old list went to 324. The next fifty on the list are not "the bottom of the barrel" but concerned about getting screwed by this city again, so it's not funny to post crap especially when it's from jealous idiots who will never score well.

Just curious, not that I don't doubt you, but why would PC's program of D-Unit training be scrapped this time around? My other question is why 75? Last I heard in March they were short 28-31 sgts. Were additional slots approved for the budget by finance/budget commitee or whoever? Enlighten me cuz my finger nails are all but gone.
