We're Just Asking
This week, the Cook County Board will be asked to approve a $96,678 contract with KTD Group, an Orland Park-based consulting firm that now employs Cline.
If it's approved, Cline will begin work this month and spend a year using the same computerized mapping system that he used to identify crime patterns and hot spots in Chicago.
And this comment:
- REMEMBER A WHILE BACK I RELATED THAT CLINE RAIDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SNAGGED ALL THE GOODIES THE CITY OF CHICAGO PAID FOR W/ OUR TAX MONEY.
IT SEEMS CLINE IS SELLING THE INFO TO THE COUNTY THROUGH A PRIVATE COMPANY KTD GROUP.
HELLO INSPECTOR GENERAL???
ALL CITY PROGRAMS SHOULD ONLY BELONG TO THE CITY UNLESS A KICK BACK IS COMING BACK TO DA MAYOR.
YOU WILL MOST LIKELY SEE CLINE BECOMING A DONATOR TO VARIOUS POLITICIANS BECAUSE ETHICS NO LONGER APPLIES.
I DONT REMEMBER CLINE OBTAINING A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER DEGREE ON THE JOB EITHER. SO WHATS HE SELLING?
We realize that the helicopter was paid for with a combination of City, county and other municipalities kicking in for the costs. We know that I-CLEAR is supposed to be an integrated system, paid for by numerous government agencies and able to be utilized state wide.
So our question is what program is this supposed to be that County doesn't have access to it unless they hire the former superintendent? What blinding insight is the former superintendent supposed to bring that he can be paid $96,000 of our tax money for what is described as "using the same computerized mapping system that he used to identify crime patterns and hot spots in Chicago" - that sounds exactly like a data entry position, and we don't know too many data entry people making $96,000. Not even Review Officers make that much and they've been threatening to civilianize and automate that job for years.

Fat boy used his whores to create the system know he's stolen same taking credit for the system Lewlynn (mispelled) created with a group of police computer geeks.
How is the county going to flood the areas with gang crimes occurrences? They donnt have a Tru or SOS unit to hold the area hostage. More doc areas.
Kline stole all this information from New York
cline? crook? What? Me Worry?
Is it true that Molloy was also hired?
INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!
So he has a six figure pension in addition to his consulting fees he is charging the County. Yet he still requires a salary from the police memorial (a supposed "charitable orginization"). The same memorial that he started and is now colecting a salary from. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture. But hey its the Chicago way right.
Just checked out KTDgroup.com
Guess whos the pubic saftey consultants? Molloy, Cline, Michael Lombardo,PhD and
Scott Anton
How long till the rest of his buddies are there?
Interesting.
Phil Cline! like I said before he is a thief, Stealing from dead police officers and the city of Chicago all within 6 months time. What a guy.
Media take note:
This is a waste of tax dollars. Phil Cline has no secret formula. Any beat cop on the south or west side can tell Dart what needs to be done.
Thank You!!! The burbs, especially the South Suburbs will appreciate your expertise. Cook County will be grateful.
The Inspector General at the Sheriff, Thomas Kinsella,is his close friend and the owner of the company that employees him is another close friend, Thomas Donahue.
The contract is being let by the Sheriff.
Cline is also being paid by the Memorial fund. It came up at an FOp meeting a while back I guess and Father Nangle wouldn't reveal how much he made. It must be an embarassing large amount. What is he doing to earn it?
Pallidin
Kinsella = Ethics ??
Isn't Donahue the person who runs HIDTA were Cline's children are employed?
You guess?
You stroke.
Welcome to the world of Chicago politics! Just love the smoke and mirrors....
WATCH,fat man will probably bring his hop along bubby mike cronin along with him.But I can blame him because MR half foot is only the best damn fucking cop this city has ever seen.Just ask him.
Surpirse Surprise... Yea an atty. general is going to investigate... Maybe you should be sent for a p p test. More of the same, unitl the next one gets caught.
Maybe Molloy can consult on how to belittle personnel and treat them badly.
HELLO THE PROJECTS ARE GONE!! THAT'S WHAT LED TO THE REDUCTION IN CRIME. THEY HAD TO MOVE SOMEWHERE, SO THESE NITIWTS RELOCATED TO THE SUBURBS. ASK NEW LENOX ABOUT THEIR GD& VICE LORD INFESTATION....
Best scams in the world?
1. St. Michael's House
2. Chicago Police Memorial Fund.
I fell for both.

Guess he needs the extra dough to waddle down the block to Webers for diet don-ees...
Someone has to know what Phils salary is from the memorial. It has to be public record. Anyone care to post the amount.
Just think what the expense account is for food at the company. With those two heavyweights they will be bankrupt in no time.
Where is the GD and Vice lord problem at in New Lenox?
Speaking as someone in the private sector, $96K is cheap for a one-year data analyst contract. The data entry will be done by the county staff and Cline will most likely be providing direction and methods for analysis.
Now Ryan will have a roommate. Grab a mop Fat Boy!!
HIDTA,
His kid, in-law and I think there is a Grau there also.
All on the square kiddies.

I stopped giving months ago. as soon as I called and they refused to be accountable insofar as where he money was going, along with the real total amount collected, including cash. happy I did. As you, Cline defenders will find out. he is allll about him, Laughing as he takes your money. How does it feel to be taken for a ride, yet the sad part is that he also is doing it under the names of dead officers. Don't give anymore of your money ask the FOP to start a fund make them accountable.

These Bangers, went to the Burbs because Public Housing was torn down nothing more. Cline always has an angle they all do.

I agree I have a family member who works for a real non profit group he says the Memorial fund along with St Michael's gives back only a very small percentage of the funds collected the vast amount is used to pay those working for them. He also said Magie Daley receives a large income doing the same. Yet my Family member receives a small payment for the use of his gas and vehicle no payment for time.
Those of us with time on knew Cline was a crook. But, then, so is Daley, so small wonder he picked him for super (birds of a feather). Most of his promotions were buddies, but some were bought and paid for (a certain Commander who regularly treated him to Bear's game seats in and out of town). His large appetite is not simply for food.
cline did have something. he had all the computer mapping info that he ordered those poor civilian mappers (that made the system) to give to him while was still supt. that's why he left so soon. not in shame, but because he had to hightail it out of there before the feds started nosing around.
Well said SCCC. Just a little tip and clue for the Inspector General's Office if they choose to investigate. LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE OFFICES OF MARIKAY HEGARTY OF THE RESEARCH & DEVLEOPMENT DIVISION AND THAT OF ADS ANNE EGAN OF BAS. Both Cline cohorts and both pirated info for Fat Ass to use to fatten his already large nest egg.

This is true as I know Ann Egan was sending him info. She has always been a political snake giving answers to the promotion exams to the plain cloths and inside personal while she was in the 14th dist. Keep in mind you don't need the so called merit when they can be given the answers?
All Cline would be doing is repeating info the CPD already has. The only reason to give him any kind of contract is so the city can get a kickback.
maybe Cline and Malloy will have a contest for who has the biggest Balloon-Head!
how does M Murphy feel about all of this??

I should of also dam is that how it works?
The KTDGroup of Orland Park is run by K. Tina Donahue, the wife of Tom Donahue, the Chicago HIDTA Director.
As HIDTA Director, Donahue's supposed to dole out federal money to area law enforcement agencies to fund drug investigations. So, Donahue gave the Sheriff federal money to support initiatives like the "Cook County Jail Drug/Gang Violent Crimes." Hell, he's suppose to do that!
So big deal if the Sheriff shows a little gratitude for getting all those federal dollars tossed at him and he tosses back a county contract for $96k to Donahue's wife? Is that a problem?
So what if Donahue's buddies, Cline and Molloy, are the "consultants" that Donahue's wife will use to do the "consulting" job? Hey, at least it's not a paint job!
Hey, Donahue's a fricken genius! First, he takes care of the guys who got him the spot at HIDTA, then, his wife expands her consulting business to include her hubby's buddies, Cline and Molloy...and she then gets a contract with the county. Makes sense to me.
Can you really fault a guy for taking care of his friends while at the same time helping his wife's business by getting a little "appreciation" dough from the county?
At least she’s gonna cut it up with Cline and Molloy. That don’t make ‘em bad does it?
I guess you do gotta wonder though how many of her other "clients" also got HIDTA money over the years?
Hhmmm, hey, I'm just askin!
How about the rumor of Starks getting the top spot that cortez trotter held. Retire from one political high paying job and land another six figure political job, now thats the Chicago way. Or maybe it was a bone given to the reverends for not giving the top cop position to their boy.
They dont even have a office..The KTD Group, Ltd.
PO Box 901
Orland Park, IL 60462
Who works at HIDTA?
Kline's son
Kline's daughter in law
Relative of Grau
Relative of the lawyer to supe. (kline's guy)
Gee; those illustrious former bosses involved in a sham operation? Can you say "George Ryan's Roomies"?

You mean Clines? If you cannot even spell his name this must be true! asswipe!
The Inspector General at the Sheriff, Thomas Kinsella,is his close friend and the owner of the company that employees him is another close friend, Thomas Donahue.
The contract is being let by the Sheriff.
-----
It is crystal clear to me:
I smell a coup. I will predict that Kinsella (who only became the IG to save himself a spot at the county) and Cline will make an end run to gain control of the CCSPD!
We hear that Dart is quickly tiring of Palcu's bullshit. Look for Cline to be the Chief, and Kinsella to be the First Deputy Chief!
Old Tommy never was thrilled with the IG, he is a dope and pussy kind of guy.
Donahue is putting his relatives all over the county too. His sister runs the grafiti blasters. I guess she took a bullet for Dart? After all, Lanigan took one for Sheahan, so it is only proper.
CPD is coming home to the square!
Woo Hooooo!!!! All those county squads parked in the 19th ward must make a helluva traffic jam, eh?
Don't worry though, our distinguished gang unit will be back to run the animal out of Englewood for you, one admin tow at a time!
"Can you really fault a guy for taking care of his friends while at the same time helping his wife's business by getting a little "appreciation" dough from the county?"
YEAH IT'S CALLED IMPROPRIETY, PUBLIC MISTRUST. THIS ISN'T THE PRIVATE SECTOR MORON!!
NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE THAT APOLOGISTS LIKE YOURSELF TRY TO RATIONALIZE THE THIEVING& UNDERHANDED FRAUDULENT BULLCRAP. ANOTHE ONE OF THE LONG LINE OF "WHERE'S MINE"? NAUSEOUS
to the 11/09/07 1:11pm writer:
I was being facetious...of course it's underhanded crap. I agree with you 100%. This blog is suppose to be about silliness, isn't it? So I was being silly -- as in facetious or not to be taken seriously! Sorry for the confusion.
KTDs co. has some Stroger folks on the payroll too kids. Seems there are some hospital contracts also. Do you suppose some of the papers would hire US as investigative reporters?
Phil Cline has always been a thief.He became a rat when the Feds caught him doing some shit and to save his ass,he gave up the Marquette Ten..
Would this apply?
Computer fraud and abuse act section 1030
Shurgard storage vs. safeguard self storage 119F Supp. 2d 1121
(W.D. WASH 2000)
An employee copied info from employers computer system and sent it by email to a company he later went to work for. The court held that he stole the property from the former employer.
It should apply. Now all you need is some grass roots group of TAX-PAYERS to file a lawsuit.
And to belive it all started with Clien's T shirt shop at 63 and Linder.
Firm seeking Cook work has tie to U.S. task force
By Angela Rozas and Mickey Ciokajlo | Tribune staff reporters
4:41 PM CST, November 10, 2007
The president of a firm trying to win a Cook County contract to have former Chicago Police Supt. Philip Cline consult with suburban police departments is married to the head of a federally funded police drug task force run from a county government building.
The firm, KTD Group, lists Kathleen Donahue as its president, and the company is based at an Orland Park townhouse she owns with her husband, Thomas K. Donahue, a former Chicago police officer and Cook County prosecutor who is executive director of the federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force in Chicago.
Cline, who retired as superintendent in August with a pension of $134,838 per year, and former Deputy Supt. James Molloy are both consultants with the firm, according to its Web site.
At $96,678, the KTD Group proposal was "by far" the lowest of three bids and brought the added advantage of Cline's experience, said Bill Cunningham, chief of staff for Sheriff Tom Dart.
Dart wants Cline's expertise to review the general operations of the sheriff's office and devise a deployment plan for fighting gangs similar to Cline's in Chicago, Cunningham said.
"We're looking forward to working with Supt. Cline," Cunningham said.
The proposed contract still needs the approval of the Cook County Board. Its Legislative Committee is scheduled to consider the bid later this month.
Reached separately, Kathleen and Thomas Donahue referred questions about her firm and the contract bid to the sheriff's office.
"I'm not a part of the company," he said. As director, Thomas Donahue oversees law enforcement officers detailed to the drug-fighting task force from various agencies, including the Cook County Sheriff's Office. Donahue works out of the Cook County Administration Building at 69 West Washington St.; the rent is paid with grant money, Cunningham said.
The funds that pay for the task force are funneled through Cook County, but Thomas Donahue is not considered a county employee, Cunningham said.
In September, the County Board renewed Thomas Donahue's contract as task force director, at $153,216 per year, which is paid with federal grant money. Thomas Donahue's work with the county and area law enforcement had no bearing on the selection of his wife's firm, Cunningham said.
"None of the things that Mr. Cline will be working on have anything to do with [the task force]," he said. "It has absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Donahue."
Kathleen Donahue founded KTD in 2002, according to the firm's Web site. But papers filed with the state indicate it was incorporated in 2004.
The company's address is listed as a post office box in Orland Park, but incorporation papers list the Donahue's family home as the primary address.

Many economists believe that the declining economy can be traced directly to Phil's retirement. After he left, the T-shirt industry went into a spiral. Related industries followed. It just had a catastrophic domino effect. Hopefully Phil's replacement will get the T-shirt business jump-started so we can get back to business as usual.
