Daley Lies - And Gets Re-Elected

See what happens when you get to pick the people who run against you? And you have a former convicted governor who helped you destroy the entire Illinois Republican party?
  • Mayor Daley said Tuesday he knew "at the beginning" that city tax dollars would have to guarantee Chicago's Olympic operating budget, but he didn't fess up about it because "we're not putting any actual money up."
  • In a stuttering response to a reporter's question, Daley said he knew "at the beginning" of the bidding process that city money would have to be put on the table. Daley said he kept it quiet -- not because he wanted to get past the mayoral election -- but because "we're not putting any direct money into it."
  • Despite overruns that nearly tripled the cost of $475 million Millennium Park and $400 million in overruns at O'Hare Airport, Daley said he is confident Chicago taxpayers will not be left holding the bag.
Uh huh. And we've got some swamp land in Florida some people might be interested in. Any contract awarded in Chicago is almost 100% guaranteed to come in late, over budget and under some form of federal scrutiny lately. Now if only Fran and company (Hi Frank!) would bring some of their high powered investigative reporting to the fact that city and state taxpayers are either (A) going to be screwed over the next few years with a massive pension crisis or (B) pensioners are going be screwed by Springfield changing the pension laws so the city can default on contractual obligations.

The media in Chicago will not report on any of this untill they pay their snitch at the A.G's office to tell them when an indictment will come down. There is no news in the fact that "His Honer" lied to the public, it is a "Daley" occurrance. They will wait untill the City has ponied up about 700 Million until they declare it a scandal worthy of their venom... Fuckers all live in the suburbs anyway....Laughing all the way to the bank.

We all better stay on this issue of the money for the Olympics cause when its time for the City to pay up, they could cry poor and try and rob our pension fund. Call your alderman to voice your concerns. I know, some might say what good will this do since the mayor owns them, but we got to start acting as a large voting bloc to get results.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

You need to log onto to the Civic Federationof Chicago website for the bad news about out pensions. Evrything you ever needed to know from a glossary of terms to the actual funding itself. I believe its civicfed.org. Read it and weep. Current employees may be OK but future hires should have reason to be concerned. Maybe someone more computer savey could supply the link.

I saw this post earlier and was curious why it didnt get more attention... oh because it's ACTUAL numbers that a blogger produced to prove his point rather than a bunch (SCC included) of "IM RIGHT BECAUSE I SAY SO" bitches whining about something they have nothing to back except speculation. Just because you whiny cry babies dont like Daley doesnt mean he hasnt done some remarkable things for this city. Corruption is everywhere... stop acting like Daley is the only politician to grease his own pocket... So... here it is AGAIN.. past proof that hosting the Olympics wont cost tax payers one cent! (to be certainly followed up by some SCC highly intellectual smart ass come back which again, will provide absolutely zero proof of anything beyond his opinion.)

Here is the link to Civic Federation's report on city budget and our pension:
http://www.civicfed.org/articles/civicfed_221.pdf

...“The city of Chicago’s unfunded pension liabilities surpass all large cities in the
United States by BILLIONS of dollars,” said Msall. “This is a situation which requires
immediate action; city officials cannot rely upon future asset sales alone to fix this problem.

Actual numbers by a blogger? And this blogger is qualified how? Accounting degrees from where? Crystal ball from where? They can predict union labor costs 9 years in advance?

And they can forsee that there won't be (oh, let's just speculate here) a major terrorist incident within the next decade that would keep tens of thousands of tourists from coming within fallout range of Chicago.

And taking history into consideration, can you name one single civic project that has come in on time and at cost? Just one. Just a single solitary example.

And it just happens to break even. To the freaking dollar?

You're a moron. Or Richie himself. Thanks for dropping by Mr. Mayor.

I put in 16 years in my old jobs which they took social security out. Now I'm a Chicago Cop with a pension. The city and government are going to only give me 27% of my social security when I retire. WHAT THE FUCK. Why can't I get back what I put in. My previous jobs have absolutely nothing to do with my current job and pention.

What a kick in the dick. These fucking pieces of shit in the ghetto can collect SS their entire life. Never work a day in their life but they can collect SS from their late teens until the day they die, just cause "I Gotz ASTHma, I Cantz Readz, I sleeps alot, I don't likes work, I have body aches, I have headaches."

atleast it's some sort of ACTUAL representation of a FACTUAL event that ACTUALLY happened... not some MORONIC speculation to enable myself and others to self loath about something that will benefit the many and piss on the few (including you SCC) so open wide you retarded asshat and enjoy the golden shower... until you can provide some sort of evidence shut your ass and realize youve just been schooled!

Wow. This website is sure pissing off someone on the 5th floor. To think a Daley stooge would come on this blog and make a case for the olympics! Stay low SCC. If there is one thing Daley won't tolerate its dissention or questioning his dynamic vision and authority. This website has obviously gotten his attention.

..and Walsh Construction will have all the no-bid projects in their pocket for the Olympics and any other Daley friend, play-cousin, etc. who will reap million$$$$ and Daley will stand up at the podium looking dumb and defiant saying "daaa, I know nottin" .Oh don't forget, The Toddler will want all his cousins in fine spots, too. Just wait...just more corruption looming over our great city.
When will the Daley fiefdom/Crook county end??

We aren't sure if this is addressed to us or the spanking we handed out to the mope who claims that someone, somewhere has come up with a set of numbers than can predict 9 years in advance that the Olymppics will break even, and that's even to the freaking dollar. Please clarify.

ILL MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU NIT-WITS
NOW I WIN
This Research Bulletin has been published in Tourism Review, 60 (1), (2005), 12-19.
(Z)
Economic and Tourism Aspects of the Olympic Games
Dr. P. De Groote, PhD., Yale University Dept. of Finance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is from YOUR own source in the Conclusions section:

“If sport tourism is developed for economic gain without regard to its other impacts, there is a very real danger that its true costs will greatly exceed its economic value.”
I think I see why it took you so long to attribute your source. A source you also lied about.
1.“Dr.“ Patrick DeGroote is not a PhD.
2. He is also not on faculty at Yale.
3. He is affiliated with the Limburgs Universitair Centrum, Belgium.
4. There is no such thing as the “Yale University Dept. of Finance.” Or perhaps you were referring to the people that process loans and perform other clerical work?
Here’s some suggestions:
1. When lying about accreditation, a simple Google search will get you the name of respected, world class institutions so, though you will still be caught out lying, you will not look quite as big a fool as you have.
2. Never use Dr. before name and PhD after. It’s one or the other.
3. Stop wasting our time and putting on airs if you don’t even have the ability to do so convincingly.
4. Go shit in your hat.

SCC-Knew you'd get around to Mr. "I Ween, I Ween" but thought you could use the respite! Thought to do a blog specifically about FOP issues and right about that time someone started one. Then they went pretty dormant. Then they got a bit more active for a while then dormant again. So, may just do it after all. You're pretty damn prolific so I don't think I'd be any competition!
