Odd Timing

This pops up in our comment section:
  • The Daley administration has signed another $5 million public relations contract -- bringing the citywide total to 11 firms and $55 million -- to augment the highly controlled message coming out of City Hall.
    Mayoral press secretary Jacquelyn Heard insisted last fall that not a penny would be paid to outside spin doctors until Chicago's budget crisis is over.

    Please remember this when the city cries poor on the contract.

    3/03/2009 05:22:00 AM
  • The Daley administration on Tuesday abruptly canceled 11 public relations contracts with a $55 million pricetag to drive home the point that taxpayers cannot afford to augment the highly controlled message coming out of City Hall.
  • Educap is a multibillion-dollar student loan charity run by CEO Catherine Reynolds. As CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reported Monday night, Educap is under investigation by the IRS and Congress for alleged abuse of its tax-exempt status because it charges high interest on charitable student loans, and provides lavish perks with millions in compensation for Reynolds and her husband.
  • CBS News has learned that high-profile names on the Educap flight list include CIA Director Leon Panetta, former Sens. Tom Daschle and Ted Stevens, former FBI Director William Sessions and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.
  • And records show Reynolds took Chicago's Daley and his wife on 58 flights including ones to Turkey, Asia and Sweden.
Is this the break we've all been waiting for? The beginning of the end? A misstep involving taxes brought down Al Capone. Maybe a misstep involving tax exemptions brings down Shortshanks.

unlikely scc, this wont bring daley down. he did follow the law, but completly walked the line doing it. looking at the records that were released he cannot go down for any wrong doing.... yet. the probability of this amounting to anything into daley is almost non existent, but could be bad news for the people running the charity.

let me guarantee you this... The media reads this blog on a daily basis! Several in particular, but any reporter "worth his weight in film" (as one reporter responded) reads this blog. They read it, cite it as anonymous police sources, and get paid for doing so! My only question is does SCC get a kick back??? YOU SHOULD MY BROTHER! Without revealing my source (friend of a friend) they are without a doubt here! So be careful what you write here, there are unfriendly eyes watching! They love this site... She said they check in around midnight, get the basis for a story, and run with it! SO either tone it down, guys and girls, or start putting some far out there bullshit stories entangled within the true gripes! And let them do their jobs and figure it out!!!

Congratulations to Rosanna Pulido on her victory, as the Republican candidate for the 5th District.

The men and women of the Chicago Police Department appreciated your support, your ardent defense of the 2nd Amendment, your defense of life and your advocacy of the imposition of Federal laws to combat the illegal invasion of the USA.

We urge all politicos to pay heed, we were supported and we responded in kind, Good Luck Rosanna!!!

The Democratic Machine was handed a stunning defeat tonight with the election of Mike Quigley as the Democratic candidate, despite all the millions of dollars spent by the Machine contenders.

Alderman Patrick O'Connor's and Mayor Daley's futile attempt to utilize an Irish surname backfired. The "Machine Muscle" and the endless cash stream, failed to bring victory to state Rep. John Fritchey or to state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz.

Mr Quigley don't scorn the power of organized labor!

Rossana Pulido is prima facie evidence of the power of a united and disgruntled electorate and an energized organized labor base.

It is time for real change in the 5th District. Vote for Rosanna Pulido and vote for less taxes, better law enforcement and a preservation of your Constitutional Rights and the American Way of Life.

As Mike Flannery described it on the 10 pm newscast, 11 trips are in question that totaled 58 separate flights (or flight legs) with Richie and/or Maggie aboard.


Mayoral press secretary Jaqueline Heard is already beginning the disinformation and cover-up saying she doesn't believe the Mayor has EVER been to Sweden (Flannery said that Maggie may have been on that trip without Richie).

TRAFFIC CRASHES INVOVLING OFF-DUTY MEMBERS
In the event an off-duty member involved in a personal-injury or property-damage traffic crash fails to remain at the scene, the watch commander or field lt. of the district of occurrence will respond to the scene of the traffic crash.
The responding w/c or f/lt will ensure that OPS command is promptly notified and that a complaint-register investigation is initiated.
OPS command personnel will notify the on-call incident commander and the IAD for response to the scene.
1. i guess the sgt's are good enought to respond
2. Doesn't state law say on a property damage(type a) you can leave the scene and have up to 72hours to report the accident?
3. You order me to stay, you better sign my overtime slip and don't forget the overtime from the people from iad.
4. What if I get into an accident in Orland park, do I have to wait for the w/c of the closet district to arrive?

Why does the newspapers all ways fall short ? The NEVER folow up and continue digging... I bet if the Mayor had a vowel at the end of his name, the FBI, IRS, Newspapers would be all over his ass.

Talking about FBI, how come the Chicago Office gets a huge chunk of money from the goverment but only goes after old Italian gangsters ? They spend millions watching them, bringing them to trial. I agree that some of them should go away for murder and other evil things, but why not go after the gang bangers selling drugs and shooting up neighborhoods ?????

Since when ? ? ?



The Daley regime has crafted and molded the power of the Office of the Mayor of the City of Chicago into an attractive position for any future occupant, perhaps the most powerful political machine in this country, (did you see any other Mayors on those flights?).



If Richard Daley leaves or is forced to leave Office, I'm sure the plan is already in place to try and keep the Mayoralty in the hands of a 'friendly', which would NOT include the Jesse Jackson family.



The Jacksons will continue to scrap for the crumbs that are thrown off the table for them, (ie a seat in Congress, an Aldermanic or County Commissioners' seat or lucrative liquor distributorship contracts).



As long as they are allowed to continue to "wet their beaks", they won't make waves. There are plenty of millions to go around if you don't get too greedy ! ! !

Not likely.

Another purpose for his 2016 Olympics is so he can travel the world at taxpayers expense.

As long as there was an Olympic Games where they traveled, I'm sure he can and did "legally" claim to be on Official City Business researching the Olympics for our future Games. Then he simply tells the City Treasurer to pay the tab to Educap in whatever amount they decide to bill for the flights. In the meantime, he's flying around in Ultra-luxury like the Sultan of Dubai.

If you have about 90 minutes of spare time I would like to suggest you watch the movie, "Taking Chance". It is the true story written by Colonel Mike Strobel who escorted PFC Chance Phelps, who was killed in action in Baghdad, from Dover Delaware to his home in Wyoming. It shows the respect for our fallen soldiers that is given by total strangers to a true American Hero. It was one of the most moving movies I've seen in a very long time, it reminded me why I am honored to be a police officer. As a P/O we have not seen the losses that our military has seen, but we still feel a brotherhood for each other and hurt when we lose one of our own.
Yes we get beat up, ridiculed, second guesses by every Monday morning quarterback around, but I feel it is because they do not understand what any of us go through when we lose one of our own. We are there to protect and look after one another, and we can feel the pain of each other when things go bad. Those of you who chose to bash the police or the military, watch this movie, you will be witness to the bravery, integrity and honor of a volunteer.
Please all be safe and God speed to our Heros serving all over the world, and I for one will always be grateful to all of you.

CHICAGO 2016 NAMES OBAMA ALLY TO BOARD

By: John Pletz March 03, 2009
(Crain’s) — Chicago's Olympics bid committee is maintaining its close ties to President Barack Obama, naming Martin Nesbitt to its 13-member board of directors.

Mr. Nesbitt, CEO of airport-parking company Parking Spot, was national treasurer of Mr. Obama's campaign. He replaces Valerie Jarrett, former CEO of real estate developer Habitat Co., who became an adviser to Mr. Obama.

OT I found this in my inbox..a must read

Why doesn't Rahm Emanuel pay property taxes?
According to the Cook County Assessor's website, the Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and new White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, doesn't exist. While the address of 4228 North Hermitage is listed as Emanuel's residence on the Illinois State Board of Elections' website, there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home.
The Cook County Assessor's and Cook County Treasurer's online records indicate Emanuel's Chicago neighbors pay between $3,500 and $7,000 annually. However, Illinois Review has
been unable to locate any evidence that the former Clinton advisor and investment banker is paying his fair share of Cook County's notoriously high tax burden.





Why wouldn't 4228 North Hermitage property owners Rahm Emanuel and wife Amy Rule pay property taxes?
One reason may be because Emanuel and Rule declared their 4228 North Hermitage home as the office location for their personal non-profit foundation called the "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation". As the non-profit's headquarters, their home could be exempt from paying property taxes.

In January 2007, USA Today reported on Emanuel's foundation:
The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust was formed in 2002, when the Chicago lawmaker was first elected. The former Clinton White House aide and his wife, Amy Rule, are its only donors. Emanuel was an investment banker after serving in the White House.
The trust reported having $2,900 on hand at the end of 2005 after receiving $34,000 from Emanuel and donating more than $31,000
During the past three years, Emanuel's charity gave nearly $25,000 to the Anshe Emet synagogue and school [a private school that the Rahm/Rule children attend]..., and $15,000 to the foundation run by former president Bill Clinton. It also gave $14,000 to Marwen, a Chicago charity that provides art classes and other educational help to low-income children. Rule is on Marwen's board.
(He doesn't pay any property taxes and he gets income tax write-offs by donating $25000 to the Synagogue
and other amounts of money to his Foundation. This allows his kids to attend school tuition-free
and allows him to expense a lot of personal expenses. What a racket!
Take all your income and donate it back to yourself via tax exempt orgs where you can spend it on as
expenses to operate your car, pay the electric and water bills, etc.
I guess if you are a hypocritical "liberal" democrat who advocates raising taxes on everyone else, this is all permissible.)
Emanuel's 4228 North Hermitage home is one of the largest in the neighborhood, with a side yard that appears to be a vacant lot, making the Emanuels' property the largest portion on the block.
Other North Hermitage homes on Emanuel's block are valued in the $500,000 plus range. According to Cook County Treasurer's website, the Chicago owners of nearby 118 year old 4222 North Hermitage pay almost $6800 annually. The family at 4224 North Heritage pays $6000 each year in property taxes.
President Obama - himself a connected, Chicago insider who has benefited from questionable land deals - may find it difficult to explain why his very own Chicago-based chief of staff doesn't pay property taxes like the "little guy" he claims to represent. Or perhaps allowing his wealthy friends to avoid taxes is part of Obama's trickle down redistribution economics. It's certainly the kind of "change" we Illinoisans can believe in...since we're quite familiar with it here in the federal indictment land of Daley, Blagojevich, Madigan, Jones, Cellini, Rezko, etc.

Hey media please call the mayor out on this. He cries broke all the time, but hides lots of money for his secret projects. Now that he was caught he cuts some of the waste! Ask him why he wastes so much money on BS secret projects while crying destitute all the time! This guy will crush Chicago for his olympic legacy!

In response to who will replace daley when he is indicted: Jesse Jackass can forget it,his skeletens came out of the closet when it was revealed he was whoring himself for the senate seat,all you have to do to defeat him is show the video of him when he walked up to the podium to speak,he looked as though he needed an antacid tablet---his face all twisted almost like the old gentleman from the commercal a decade ago where he could take his bottom lip and put his upper lip inside it with out lifting a finger to do it!!!!! there goes senate hopes down the lips eerrrr, sorry tubes.

To the person with the Rahm Emanuel rant:
He pays his property taxes. He lives on a larger lot with two addresses. His tax bill is under the 4232 N Hermitage address covering both his house and land. It's public record, you can look it up. Get the pin for the address at the cook coounty assesor office and then look in up in the cook county treasurer office web site.

Though Rahm is NOT one of my favorite people, I hate when people spread false info without looking it up!!!

If I have to stand by at a traffic accident when i'm off duty do I get paid? Daley's got to love this. If you're in a accident you could be waiting hourd if its just damage. Cha Ching

Did you see how the folks in the ghetto are getting tax refund checks? Why? If you don't work and get public aid from the government, why should you get a refund check?

3/04/2009 12:41:00 PM

It's called fraud. They claim each other kid's as deductions, too. They file false returns by the thousands and the IRS doesn't do a damn thing about it. These instant refunds at the fly-by-night tax store fronts help perpetuate the stealing. Some of the the tax preparers are in on the scam for a kickback.

OT I found this in my inbox..a must read

*************************************

Now this is some good information if true. How do we confirm this? Wasn't there some suburbanite recently that got in trouble for claiming his home as a church to make it non-taxable?

This is the same thing...isn't it. Wow...kudos to the poster.

WE NEED MORE

Maggie use to be a board member of a charity, that Mr. 2016, Pat Ryan started.

I don't know how to find out the specifics, but she was well compensated. This was around 1996 - 2000 or later.

...and doesn't make us wait for over 2 years for a contract, while all other City Employees get theirs within 6 months.

3/04/2009 12:26:00 PM


What "City Employees" are these.

Our contract expired the same day yours did & we'll be lucky to get one ratified before 2010. In my 10 years with this job, we've always gotten our contract AFTER yours.

On the topic of money, why is it that LEADS crashes EVERY NIGHT??


You'd have to ask the LEADS desk, OEMC doesn't control the Hot Desk, 35th does.

Is our equipment at the billion dollar OEMC center that cheap?

Smoke & mirrors, you have no idea.

While I am thinking of it...

TMA and DOR and Avation Police are also working with no contract.

And since they do jobs that CPD don't want...how about some support for them here?

The TMA is Federal security guards. These fucking assholes get locked all the time claiming to be Federal Agents while on bullshit. Don't know what DOR is, but I would gladly patrol the airport.

All that being said, and not that anyone gives a fuck. Ill give the Avi PO PO some support. The DOR needs to be explained and absolutely no love for the TMA.
