Thanks Richie!
We guess when you don't have to actually pay for gas, and probably have NEVER ever paid for gas in your entire life, you don't realize the bite it puts on a household budget.
In chicago, where prices are among the nation's highest, prices rose a penny, to a record average of $3.55.
Daley said gasoline taxes pay for needed road repairs. He offered motorists this advice.
"We want more and more people to use public transportation," said Daley. "And maybe this is the year that people realize that -- I don't care where you go -- you need public transportation. You have people driving in-- one in a car-- that really, basically, clogs the expressways. They can only take so much."
Too much of municipal and state budgets are built into projected revenues, so any interruption in that formula would delay projects and programs for politicians. So be it. We'd never expect a democrat to actually reduce taxes. But how about advocating a new refinery or three to increase gas availability? Maybe getting rid of these superfluous EPA blends that limit and just about destroy refinery efficiency for months on end?

yea daley public trans! While you have 3 cars in your detail running 14+ hours everyday, not counting cars for your wife and grown children all with CPD drivers making D-3! Your a real POS have the illegals do your lawn ass! Why oh Why are you and reyes not in prison? Maybe we could film the next longest yard from your jail cell! Who are you snitching on to stay out of jail? You make the family secrets trial look pale in comparison to all your thefts and mayhem!
I would offer this....this is my deal: when "da mare" and Maggie use public transportation, then I will too...until then....faddagaboutit!!!

If Big Oil built more refineries, then production could increase. Then supply would go up. Then prices would go down. And Big Oil does not want that! SCC, keep voting those oil-guys into the W.H.!!
Why do people on welfare need a car? If you can't afford it too bad. Gee, how about the free cable Tv and credit cards? How can you have credit cards without a job or credit? How about it?
WHY DOES RICHIE AND HIS WIFE COME TO OHARE IN TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES?
Has the Mayor ever even been on public transportation? Lead by example Richie!
Daley is a bully. The city of Chicago Has not built any new expressways or major streets in 53 years, yes boys and girls, your tax dollars are spent for corruption along with making Daleys friends and family richer. Maggie Daley works for a non profit, Yet she took commensuration totaling more then 250,000.Whats up with that.Nepotism is alive within this Family. Each Family member working for the city and Police dept has moved up at a staggering rate, However at the expense of others who paid their dues.
Heah, Thanks Richie.
I just drove from Cleveland Police Memorial. Gas was $3.19 a gallon at a BP station in Clevland!
It look like Daley and Huberman are going to defy City Ordinance and take away our free ride on the CTA. Ordinance says Police will ride for free on duty, ( which is all the time), in uniform, (mine is plainclothes).
I like to see this half-pint prick taking the "El". Daley, you suck!
He's determined to make his boy Ubberman look good. CTA's in desperate shape; force people to abandon their cars and take the bus. Problem solved!
Question remains, why? Is Ubberman Richie's secret lover? Does Ronny have a brick over King Richard's head? Is stove top better than potatoes?

Your are right, the people of Chicago are paying for his private rides around town. Unless you work downtown or like adventures through some of the better neighborhoods, you have to take your own car. What about the little unknown route that our mayor takes from the office to his home, no traffic jams there? It is good to be the King.
I totally agree, little dick. Starting today, how bout getting rid of your car, perhaps your POLICE CARAVAN...and take public transportation. Its easy, cheap, and oh so much fun! Plus, you can donate to crack-heads or pick up a whore at just about any stop along the way!!
It's better to drive in a 4 car caravan with you security team? How about the mayor takes his own advice. At least Bloomberg n NYC takes the subway to work.
This coming from a guy who has his own driver for 24/7 days a week on stand-by at the taxpayers expense. Nice free perk the rest of the citizens of Chicago do not have!
If Big Oil built more refineries, then production could increase. Then supply would go up. Then prices would go down. And Big Oil does not want that! SCC, keep voting those oil-guys into the W.H.!!
Nice try 101. But it isn't Big Oil that isn't building refineries. It's the hodge podge of environmental law and leftist nut jobs that hasn't permitted a new refinery to be built in something like 25 years. And don't even get me started on how much the US would save in oil costs if they'd build 20 or 30 new nuclear reactors to alleviate a shitload of outdated coal burning and oil fired plants in the country.
Time for the City as a whole to take a look at "take home cars."

As a CPD non-exempt I totally agree with you. That is B.S. that you have to take a unpaid holiday while some deputy who has nothing to do with patrol or the D-unit gets a take home car. Take home cars are for those who may be called out anytime. This does not apply to 90 percent of our exempts, aka clout, merit, sucka$$es, etc.
Two years ago, the city and state were pleading poverty. We drove them with gas taxes out of that plight.
Last week, alderman smith said he would write a city resolution saying that the federal government must do something about high gas prices. Now the Mayor says no reduction in city gas tax.
I think there should be a cap on city and state gas taxes. I plan to call my drunk alderman this week, and tell him about the cap. Of course it would be easier to catch him at the irish bar on Lawrence.
Until then I plan to ride my bike when working my regular watch and taking the train/bus to special. I'm not going to worry about how the mayor gets around.
Hey civilian, If you don't like then quit. There are plenty of companys who offer take home rides. But stop cryin or do something about it.

Mayor Daley
Do you even know how to drive? Since you were a boy, you and your family have been driven around for free on the city dime..And you were an asshole to the old time coppers sitting on the house on Lowe. And even as you got older, you WHOLE family still were assholes to the coppers sitting on the house on Lowe. You and your family could barely even look up at the cop guarding THAT house each time you arrived. Your wife looked at the coppers in disgust everytime she arrived as we did back at her. Ask any 009th Dist copper that ever wanted to work the streets and patrol but were stuck guarding the royalty on LOWE and EMERALD. Even as a your children became adults, the CPD bodyguards still were driving your ADULT children from bar to bar drunk. Even when the children were not present, the CPD bodyguards still would drive your CHILDRENS drunk friends from bar to bar or home. Couldn't they take a cab?? MAYOR, everytime you preach to us about ethics we look at you in disgust because you are a lying cheat. The words the city should remember you by before you have the heart grabber or get indicted will be "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!"
More to follow.
He's got a lot of freakin nerve doesn't he? You're absolutely right, let's see him plant his family on the el everyday. Yeah, that'll happen. Hypocritical napolean.
To the defender of the take home cars who makes 85K per year and laughs at the rest of us . . . .
Your take home car probably won't last forever. Many guys (and women) like you have found themselves quickly and unceremoniously back in district law enforcement. There are plenty of coppers just waiting for guys like you to step in some shit.
Mayor Daley is not in touch w/reality. Can you imagine him boarding the Blue "wet dog aromatic" Line, the constant stops, the annoying 'Sandwich Man' and being blocked trying to get out of the El by a$$hole riders, let alone the outrageous lengthy time to travel? He is way out of touch with his own city.
->Question remains, why? Is Ubberman Richie's secret lover? Does Ronny have a brick over King Richard's head? Is stove top better than potatoes?<-
...that was extremely funny ^5
Blago was supposed to have three or four warrants hanging over him since before the election. Against the advice of the attorney General he would not disclose anything about them before the election and nothing ever came of them.
George Ryan is supposed to be out pending appeal but that is forgotten about.
DICK daly is supposed to be the hands on reform Mayor but he denies knowing any thing about any one or any thing to do with corruption at the highest level of the city Government. Luckily he did not have any competition for the mayor race and the voter turnout was the lowest in history.
The Olympic committee is seriously considering Chicago????????
Where can we E Mail or write to the Olympic committee to voice our displeasure with the selection of Chicago as the site for the Olympics??????
Let the gas prices go through the roof. Then the shitheads who live in austin and hermosa won't be on the road fucking up the traffic in this city. half of the people bitching don't even have valid licenses anyway...
Maybe we should take a few pages out of the Boston contract or get the Boston FOP to represent us.
Here are some excerpts from the Boston Globe by Matt Viser and Donovan Slack, on 22 Feb 2007.
Boston Police take home city's biggest paychecks as detail work and overtime put 25 over $200,000.
Police in Boston were by far the city's top earners last year, with 25 Police Department employees earning more than $200,000, nearly four times the number who made that amount in 2005, according to city payroll figures released to the Globe.
Police have long been big earners in Boston, where a powerful union and private detail work have helped boost pay. But in 2006, the amounts were higher than in recent years. 1,276 employees, about 41 percent of the force, made $100,000 or more. In 2005, 1,026 employees, about 36 percent of the force, made $100,000 or more.
City officials attributed much of the increase in police pay to increased detail work and overtime, prompting some city watchdogs to say that overtime has prevented the city from making strides toward a larger police force.
"This is one of the reasons why it's difficult for the city of Boston to add more police officers and expand the force, because the position itself is so expensive,"
In 2006, the average uniformed police officer made $113,617, including $35,600 in detail and overtime pay, according to figures provided by city budget officials. Firefighters, on average, made $91,087 in 2006, including about $12,500 in overtime and detail pay.
With the current state of street man power we might as well have a smaller number of sworn police. We would need to replace all of the house mice with civilian clerks.

hey suck ass what do you do to earn a car... you think its funny that the city employes are forced to give up a days pay, you laugh about it, when most of us unfortunate people have to maintain a car, repairs ,gas ,insurance, while you get one for free you probably siphon out the gas from the squad car so you can save 25.$ u suck
What the? Gas taxes pay for road repairs?How about the tolls? Why am I paying $90.00 for a city sticker/$75.00 for a plate sticker?We are paying the highest gas bill in the country now.Public transportation is crap and will claim they need more money.where the hell is all of our tax money going?His majesty has some nerve telling us to take the bus when he is carted around everywhere with armed bodyguards and a police detail.Why do you libtards keep electing this dictator,Bilandick(spelling),was tossed out because of one heavy snow season, what will it take for you to wake up and get rid of this half pint generalissimo?
Does he still a guard at his condo ? If i was assigned to guard his condo i would put a out-of-grade slip for that d-3 pay as part of his security detail. then when it is denied you can start a grievance and bang all that back pay. make him pay
THE ONLY REASON WE NEED ROAD REPAIRS IS BECAUSE THOSE STREETS AND SANS PUKES DUMP DISEL ON THE ROAD WAY TO MAKE HOLES FOR NEXT YEAR. IN THE REAL WORLD A GUY WHO FILLS A HOLE IN THE ROAD GETS MINIMUM WAGE AND A HAM SANDWICH.
THEY ALSO NEED FLEXIBLE HOURS SO THEY CAN WASH AND POWDER THE ALDERMAN'S ASSES

What have we been doing wrong?!?!
I propose that FOP 7, and PBPA hire a team from the BOSTON POLICE PATROLMEN'S ASSOCIATION to come in and negotiate our next contracts.
If you Google, "Boston Police Union", you will come up with news stories of how they threatened to picket the National Democratic Convention, endorsed George Bush dumped on the Police Commissioner over moving cars.
If our unions can't grow a set of balls, maybe they can at least rent some.
Hey SCC, the 010 district doesn't have to worry about gasoline! They have those nifty pumps in the lot that fuel cars with hydrogen. The West Side is leading the green revolution. Seriously, who put those in?! Better question, who's cousin got the contract?!

Awsome, simply awesome. Thanks
Was at the garage where he stores his cars he has so many cars he makes the bigger cars lots look small in comparison! Why does he need such gas eating cars big lincolns big crown vics why not use fuel efficent chevy cobalts 4 doors of couse so he can fit in! he uses as much gas and electric as al gore the global warming clown! He can do it though he is the king we are his peasants right?
Anyone bitching here about gas and car prices should use public transportation. I work in 019 (days) and I ride the bus to work every day. I drive one day to the station (late evening, on my off day) to drop fresh uniforms in my locker, and bring home the dirty ones. All my work equipment stays in the locker. Never had one problem on the train and bus, and I live in 014. I use my personal car maybe 10 times in a month (grocery shopping, uniform dropoff, LSC meetings at my kid's school). Anyone can find ways to burn less gas. I fill up the tank once every five weeks.
daley's a asshole !!!! how about getting rid of the two full time cars in front of your home ?? that would save some gas ......he's a dick ....hope he has a heart attack
Are you going to pay for the CTA??
Its going to happen soon.............
The city and the state both are claiming budget problems. Here is a solution. Both agencies should send notice to anyone on public assistance or attending any public funded education program that begining in 2008, in order to receive any freebies they will have to be subject to random drug test just like we have to pass to retain our employment. I bet the savings would solve a lot of problems.
I really enjoy the perk of riding the train for free. I'll take it to work once in awhile, for instance when it snowed totally fucking bad & I didn't want to drive my personal car. I'm not sure if I'd pay for it. How many coppers take it on a regular basis, off duty. Probably not many!
Gas taxes should by by the gallon not by the sales price since the price flucuates daily.. But this will never happen since they want to take, take and take... I would like to see a reporter do a report on what actually happens to the money from the gas tax... dollar for dollar... for the last few years... Also when you drive through the city... How come on major roads... do the stop lights all work in that when one block is green the next one turns red?? If they worked in order gas would be saved. duh
