All This Money
It's amazing how it turns up when the mayor needs to buy votes:
- Mayor Daley on Wednesday committed $276 million -- from low-income tax credits, bonds, loans and tax-increment financing subsidies -- to finance construction of 2,673 units of new affordable rental housing.
The 29 developments in line for city financing include 11 for seniors, eight for families and five for single-room-occupancy or special needs residents.
How about taking that $276 million and closing the $220 million hole in the budget that Daley and the aldercreatures are attempting to cover by raising taxes on bottled water and everything else under the sun?
Or how about this Total Compensation Summary crap that we had to sign for this week? We were laughing out loud at the line item labeled "Pension Plan." This line item reads in the neighborhood of $15,000, yet we know for a fact that the pension plan is funded at under 52%, meaning that this is nothing more than a lie put to paper.
Doesn't anyone in the media have access to an accountant that could point out the BS that the mayor passes off as budget numbers?

Why is the city sending us a 2006 compensation summary stating they paid up on our pension when they have not?
Yea keep on making arrests and creating revenue. When will you peple learn? Answer your calls ans thats it.
DALEY SEEMS TO ALWAYS FIND MONEY FOR THE NON-TAXPAYERS, IT IS THE DUMBOCRAT WAY MORE FREEBIES FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO WORK! HOW ABOUT DALEY SETTLES UP ON FUNDING THE PENSIONS? HOW ABOUT HE BUYS MORE POLICE CARS AND EQUIPMENT! HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT IDEA MAYBE HE COULD BUY ALL THE OFFICERS BRAND NEW BULLET PROOF VESTS THAT WOULD SHOW HE CARES! nAW! HE DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING! AS USUAL!
What about the cost of the paper and the envelope - what about the time it took to sign for that silly piece of paper - what about that piece of crap written on the reverse telling us how lucky we are working for the Emporer - what about the pension mis-statement - and last but not least - WTF!!!!
I GENERATE 0 MONEY FOR THIS CITY NO PARKERS NO MOVERS NO ANOVS NOTHING ARREST ONLY IF I AM FORCED INTO IT! NO CONTRACT NO REVENUE!
Love the compensation summary! Perfect timimg for when they cry "broke" at contract negotiations.
I look at all the low income housing that was built in the early & mid 1990's around Humboldt Park area (Beats 1422/1423)they looked so nice and upscale. (Some even had woodburning fireplaces and whirlpool tubs.)
Now, I go into some of these same units and see that they are so trashed and worn out, that they'll have to be torn down by 2010 or face condemnation proceedings.
It's unbelievable. Some of the kitchens have 10 years of "fried chicken" grease on the walls and cook-tops. Maybe some general housekeeping skills classes should be mandatory, before getting "affordable housing." (handouts)
Way to go Daley..flush more hardworking taxpayer $$$ down the TOILET!
In the big scheme of things does the CPD really generate enough money to be self-supporting?
Im on furlo so I havent seen the 2006 compensation summary. I still write a few parkers here and there, but its just to those who park in Handicap spots. Those are personal to me, and thus will get a hanger.
The mayor never paid back the 9 million for tearing up the Megs Field Airport. Go after the property owners who leave abandoned houses on the block. Every block has between 5-10 on each block in the getto. WTF?? And the lazy alderclowns won't do a damn thing about them.
When I opened the envelope after getting my check I thought " what city propaganda" We don't have a contract so they smooth you by saying they pay you 120,000 a year so don't ask for more, we're paying you more than you're worth.
C'mon the alderthieves are in it for the $$$$ to line their own pockets....clean up their ward??? haha
Slightly off topic:
Commander of the 003rd District, John Franklin is checking ALL ticket books for every watch nearly every week! He's basically FORCING his people to write tickets. I was even told by someone who hasn't wrote an alarm in a while too "write more." They told him, "I haven't been called to any alarms lately, sir." He said, "well, next time you hear one, volunteer." What kind of idiotic SHIT IS THIS?!
Is there somewhere in the GO that states WE HAVE TO WRITE TICKETS?!
I thought it was at OUR DISCRETION?
John Franklin, you are trying to force a LAZY district to do work. Fuck writing tickets. What about people that ACTUALLY WORK?! You really consider writing tickets work? Writing tickets and doing TVB's is for people who want to avoid being out on the streets.
I remember though, you're the same commander that is overally concerned with all the idiots on 75th street. Calling dispatch to have cars come write parkers on 75th street. Then dispatch has to say back to you, "sir, we are in a rap, we have 20 jobs pending and cars are asking for backup."
John Franklin, talk to 006th district. You'll hardly ever see a 006th district car on 75th street. THEY ARE TOLD TO AVOID BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE. You are so concerned with 75th street you even put up a car (372/306w) on midnights specifically for that area.
You are smoke and mirrors Franklin. You talk a good game and you make a good presentation, but that's where it stops. The only thing changing your district is the University of Chicago buying and developing all the land from 67 to 60th, cottage to stoney.
Hey jagoff mayor dick head. how about paying the police what they diserve and on time instead of waisting all the money all the time on fucking bullshit throughout the city or re building the criminals houses for them to sell dope and guns out of and to continue to gang bang and kill and rape people. you fucking vote sponge stroke.

TRUE! JUST THINK THIS FUCK HAS BILLIONS EVERYWHERE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CPD HE HAS NONE! THE ANIMALS NEED NEW PENS WOW HE FINDS INSTANTLY 500+ MILLION! HIS DRIVERS NEED MAX OVERTIME BANG HE FINDS WHEELBARROWS OF MONEY TO PAY THEM! WHAT A MAGICIAN!
I read sometime back that a major Eurpoean City has yearly inspections of its low income housing units. If the unit is not being properly maintained the resident is forced out.
Just a thought.
As a young copper (circa 1967) I remember going into the Taylor Homes and finding apartments that were 10 time nicer then the one I grew up in. A mere 3 years later when I left the Duece the place was turning into a ghetto. BBQ's in the bathroom - garbage tossed over the side of the balconies, etc. etc. etc.. All the while we were told that it wasn't the residents fault because "they weren't taught not to do it." Seriously, that was the excuse dejour back then.
What society needs is a infusion of a basic concept called responsibility. Without responsibility no one can be expected to thrive anywhere. Lets hold all citizens who recieve a helping hand from the taxpayer exhibit a reasonable amount of responisbility.
Got to go - Marlin are running off John's Pass this AM.
To all you kids back there in Chicago - Keep Your Heads Held High, Don't let the fools get the best of you. They tried in the late sixties with those of us who held up the honor of the CPD at the Hilton, don't let them do it to you.
