Chuck Goudie - Daley Whore

How does that taste Chuck?
  • Scc, just watched 6pm news. Wed 10pm channel 7
    I-Report with Chuck Goudie called Buried Treasure. They say it is a bonus of 4700.00 that city employees have been receiving for decades and the Alderman says cutting it could save the city millions right away. They are coming after our pay and all the officers who want to sit it out on the sidelines on Thursday should know that they are about to take a pay cut if city hall gets its way.
Hey Chuck? Be sure you point out the following with your "I-Report"
  • Chicago has no shift differential like most major police departments. It's a standard feature for officers working the afternoon and midnight shifts nationwide.
  • Chicago has no educational differential like most major departments. That's to say, the better educated you are, the higher your salary. Check LAPD and Boston for two examples.
  • Chicago aldercreatures just took a 6% pay hike for their "part time" jobs, putting their base salary somewhere around $100,000. CPD doesn't hit their top salary until 25 years.
  • Chicago aldercreatures also took an increase in their "discretionary" fund. It's now about $1.33 million per aldercreature.
So after you're done sucking off Daley and Beale there Chuck, wipe your chin. Second, how about looking into cutting the number of aldercreatures, their staff and their expense accounts. We just read where City, County and Illinois corruption have cost the taxpayers $300 million (a lowball figure) and 30 aldercreatures have gone to jail in less than 25 years.

Uniforms and Duty Availability have been part of the Contract for years. Decades even. We even get taxed on it. So after your obvious hit job airs tomorrow night, we're going to make sure everyone knows exactly what companies bought air time on your newscast and we'll call on the FOP to begin a boycott of those sponsors.

Buried Treasure? Let us know what kind of treasure you find with your nose buried in Daley's ass. Who pointed you at this BS Chuck? Did they at least buy you dinner before you put out?

I will be honest... I love SCC.. Thank you for your keeping me updated on current going ons in this "department'... But I am so sick and tired of this place... Take everything from me... go ahead, city of chicago... i am nothing but a lowly patrolman... you have won... I am tired of this fight... I am tired of the constant battle... you will get nothing from me any more.. I am done... And if I can find another department far far away from here that is willing to take this soul on, I will forever release you from your burden! I was once a fired up, ready to do some good, man amongst men proud to call myself a Chicago Policeman... I am but a shell of my old self... I have been tied up in this stupid fucking game too long... Fuck this City... let it burn! Let its citizens rot... This department can was once a proud organization... It has been beaten down... We put our lives on the line every day... Somehow that has been left out of the articles... This fact has been met with a resounding "IT IS YOUR JOB... IF YOUDONT LIKE IT GET A NEW JOB" chorus... I am tired of this battle... I am tired of this rhetoric... even our Mayor has adopted this line... And that is not right... We have had our mess ups... what profession has not? No one from AIG, Citi Bank, JP Morgan Chase, GM, Chrysler or Ford has been killed while doing their job, yet they are the ones getting bailed out! Think about it, people... When 9/11 hit, it was not investment bankers running into those buildings! Bankers did not run in knowing they were leaving loved ones behind... First responders did... When Rick Francis responded to a bus disturbance, and his life ended so abbruptly for doing so, not one mortgage banker stood up and said "THESE GUYS DESERVE A CONTRACT!" And all of this happened while times were good... The economy was a+ Did we get a raise??? No Did we get a bonus? NO we get chuck goudie telling us we have a buried treasure and a mayor who says we get paid too much... to hell with this city to hell with these citizens... no contact no complaint... you get what you pay for... I AM DONE!!!

The Monarchy will end in 2011 and you will no longer be an Elected Public Servant you will be citizen Daley along with the other 2.5 million people in this city. I will still be a Proud Public Servant for the citizens of this great city. I hope I'M there to see the doors of City Hall hit you in the ass on the way out!!!!!!!

Kinda Off Topic: Was listening to WIND 560 on the way home after midnight. The hosts of Chicago Overnight were pissed because a high member of the FOP had confirmed to be on the show then blew them off. These people are pro Police and were thought that this FOP rep should be on the news every week talking about our lack of contract.

Maybe Goudie should make reference to the fact that police officers have a shorter life expendency than the average citizen. Usually around 7 to 10 years. I think this should always be added into contract negotiations and told to new people coming on the job.

I've got several kids in private school, I pay way too much in taxes for the sliver of land I call home. I get shitty city services whenever I do call and complain. Yet in the ghetto there is no 50/50 sidewalk repair program, they just get the whole block done for free. The water main on my block has broke in 4 different places in the last year.

I work OT whenever I can, I work Special Employment whenever I can get it, and whore myself out to whatever side job comes along no matter how tired I am. And get taxed on every dime.

Last year I paid alot out my own pocket to go to training that this department doesn't provide, because I feel the 30 round qualification just doesn't suffice as adaquete training when your life depends on being profficient with your firearm.

FEDS, ISP and some departments qualify up to four times a year, and encourage their officers to come in and practice while providing the time and ammo to shoot. I like to shoot but the cost of ammo has doubled in the last two years.

So Goudie, 4700 minus taxes comes out to an extra 65.00 bucks a week.
My bills are subsidized, I don't get any breaks. My taxes just went up an extra 800 dollars. And more to come, they are spreading the wealth all right.

Lay off we don't all make 250 large to pretend to go after the mob, we actually do go after real criminals and don't hide behind 2 cameras and a sound crew...

In the event of breaking news, please call (312) 750-7070… Maybe we should all call with the breaking news that the $4,700.00 "bonuses" were actually a way to get us to agree to 1.5 and 2 percent raises while having to pay more for insurance and taxes. Also the breaking news that our $4,700.00 bonus is not pensionable which is the other reason the city pushed it at us.

Don’t want to call?

Just wanted to check the truth of what’s up on the streets before heading out to exercise a fundamental right.

Great idea on the boycott, but throw some teeth into it. Once you have those companies that like to sponsor bullshit and tall tales, get a list of them along with addresses and phone numbers. Organize the list and send out letters via family members and neighbors to let those companies know that they shouldn't advertise with that particular news media...

Hey Goudie; "Buried Treasure"? Have you lost the last fucking liberal brain cell you have? How much do you make for that horrific job you do?
If you actually did ANY investigation, you would have found out that our "Duty Availability" pay is no different than what MOST other departments and employers give to employees that have to work different shifts. You fucking moron!
And as for the "Uniform Allowance", you show me how many other jobs require you to dish out approximately $3000.00 for your uniforms and equipment out of your own pocket when hired? Where do you get your "zoot suits" Chuckie?
And we also have to maintain and replace our uniforms at "select" uniform stores that overcharge by at least 500 percent! Not to mention that all the stores are connected to your new "butt buddy" Dickey! So you see Chuckie, that "treasure" gets eaten up real fast and right back into the hands of your new lover.
So, ABC and it's sponsors have just lost my business and i'm sure THOUSANDS of my brothers' too. I hope that stooping that low to suck off King Richie and that Aldercrook Beale has really given a boost to your journalistic integrity, you ignorant piece of shit!

4700 for decades? I got backpay coming. Chuck please go back and look up your facts. I have less then 20 years and can remember uniform allowance at 900(untaxed) a year and duty availability was 1200 which wasnt pensionable. The City made these to reduce pension costs yet raise pay in contract negotiations yet save on future pension costs.

So Chuck, 4700 for decades is a LIE. But seeeing as how you just regergitate what your told by BEALES you dont need to investigate the entire story or even dig into the orgins.

Remember if you want to get rid of weeds in your garden, (URBS IN HORTO, right?) you need to yank from the root. Which is usually a Democrat politician or local store front tax evading, scam artist, race baiting, alleged former gang banger, that calls himself a minister.

Contact Alderman Anthony Beale as well as your own alderman to let them know the history of the “bonuses” Alderman Anthony Beale is questioning and remind him how you are looking forward to seeing him during the rally tomorrow!

These “bonuses” came about during contract negotiations when the city offered a raise of between 1.5 and 2.5 % annually for several years in a row if the union agreed to allow the city to pay a shift differential to the officers instead of increasing the salary more. The benefit for the city was that while the overall compensation per year would go up, the amount eligible for pension contributions would not, saving the city money every year going forward.

Upper percentile for suicide, divorce, alcoholism, depression, heart disease etc. Part of the "PACT" I made 29 years ago with the city was that I would accept these conditions in return for a somewhat early and financially secure retirement, if I lived that long. That pact has been violated. To retire at age 58 would cost me over $700 a month for health insurance for my wife and I. Electrician, plumber, truck driver, accountant, mechanic, factory worker, salesman are jobs. This is NOT A FUCKING JOB ASSHOLE...

If all we have to fight ABC/channel 7 and Chuck Goudie is this blog then we are fucked. TV and radio can turn public opinion faster than Jody Weis can dump exempts.

With public opinion against us Daley can and will do what he wants. Look for a long drawn out fight and this contract will likely go to arbitration. Daley doesn't care, the cost of arbitration is much less than paying the raises now and they have money budgeted for any likely arbitration settlement.

Arbitration means they won't have to put out any pay raises for TWO MORE YEARS! By time the contract is signed and settled it will be expired again and we do this all over again.

Feel that sharp pain in your rear end? That is Daley shoving it up our ass again.

This Goudie piece is an attempt by city hall to make us look greedy on the eve of our protest. As far as the media goes, we are all drunk bullys (don't be surprised to see Abbatte video over and over again tomorrow) looking to violate the rights of citizens - and now we are so greedy we want a raise for it -- all while people across the country are loosing jobs and taking paycuts. - We will be made to look VERY bad tomorrow in the media - My only question is wether we (FOP) will be given enough air time to state our case that all of the other city unions have recently been given contracts that they wanted and ours has been pulled - we are not greedy we just want fairness - and maybe a superintendent who's graduated the academy, ridden on a domestic, and knows what he's talking about before he tells us how to do our jobs

I just can't believe the stupid mayor would publicly degrade us like he has recently done. WE bring in sooo much revenue for this city.
Do the fireman bring in anything? No.
Do streets and Sans?
No
So of all the city workers why in the world would he so publicly try to knock us down and not give us a simple contract with at least cost of living raises.
We all know P.O.'s that are still out there writing parkers/movers/impounds etc.. Just imagine if all these people finally see the big picture and stop doing these things. That would be just an enormous revenue hit for the city. It would probablly almost buckle it.
So again, why of all the unions would he go after our measly pay raises. Amazing.

I've got several kids in private school, I pay way too much in taxes for the sliver of land I call home. I get shitty city services whenever I do call and complain. Yet in the ghetto there is no 50/50 sidewalk repair program, they just get the whole block done for free. The water main on my block has broke in 4 different places in the last year.

I work OT whenever I can, I work Special Employment whenever I can get it, and whore myself out to whatever side job comes along no matter how tired I am. And get taxed on every dime.

Word just out in 022 from the Village of Evergreen Park-----per Mayor james Sexton and the Police Chief (forgot his name), any squad cars going through the redlight camera in front of Little Co of Mary Hospital, not on a verifiable emergency call, WILL receive a ticket in the mail.
Tickets will be sent to Fleet at 1685 N Throop, and they will forward it to the appropriate district for payment by the officers. Also, disciplinary measures WILL be enacted by the department for violation of any state or municipal ordinance ( We are being told the going rate on that is 5 days w/o pay).
Please guys, this is NOT from the P.O.'s in Evergreen Park, this is coming from the mayor and chief. Those guys are still VERY good to us, and will help in a heartbeat, as we all should. Don't start a war where it is not appropriate. Maybe a boycott of Evergreen Park businesses is a better idea?!

If you ask some of the old times, they will tell you that they were given the medical insurance for free in lieu of a pay raise, then Daley cut into that, thus reducing the pay of the men.
Also, we are still waiting for the back ppay when old man Daley froze the raises in the 70's.

one of Daley's hatchett-men on radio news today saying our protest on day the Olympic Committee is here is no big deal, as everywhere the Olympic Committee goes to check out future sites gets picketted by some group anyway. What he neglected to say is that Chicago Mayor Daley is being picketed by approx. 13,000 [that's right, we'll use Shortshanks/Weiss's numbers for OUR Benefit this time, although not accurate] Chicago Police Officers who protect the City under ALL conditions. We are not a bunch of scraggly-headed, patched blue jeans, 60's hippy wanna-bee's protesting here, but thats what Shortshanks and his brood want the public to believe. It is possible that this picketing may flush Daley's Olympic dreams forever, or contribute to it. So go ahead Liberal-Commie News Media, down-play it, but you'll only look foolish in the end, and hopefully soon join your cohorts, the Fibune and the Slum-Times. A.M.F.

Raises equal to the national standard of living increase as opposed to the 1.5% we get for non-contract years

Paid lunches (since I have to be available, as well as listen to the public’s complaints)

To be compensated for the time to put on required / protective safety uniform items pursuant to US Supreme Court & FLSA (http://safety.blr.com/news.aspx?id=100202).

and last but not least, to be able to buy crappy polyester uniform pants for less than 60 bucks (Chuck investigate that)

I'm not a police officer but I have several family members who are on the job. You guys take on an awesome responsibility each and every day you go to work. Additionally you are treated like no other citizen is - 24 hours a day 7 days a week - in that you are always under the scrutiny and control of the city and the police department. No other occupation that I know of has this kind of control over its employees. You guys have not had a raise in over 2 1/2 years and that was a 2% raise on Jan 1st '07. Your equipment is outdated and malfunctioning. You are led by a superintendent that has only a laymen's knowledge of big city policing, and an ignorant spoiled brat of a mayor who takes his vengeful wrath out on you guys whenever he doesn't get his way.
You were offered a raise by the mayor, a lower raise than he gave the teachers and the trades, a much lower raise than the aldermen give themselves each year. The FOP countered with what it considered a fair offer, fully prepared to compromise somewhere in between. The city decided to drag it's feet and not negotiate. It's been two years! Daley says the city can't afford to give you a raise. He lectures you and tells you to "get real". How dare he!!
The very next day he unveils his 15.5 BILLION DOLLAR plan for downtown subways. He's out of his mind.
Despite agreements not to negotiate in the press, he authorizes leaks to the media, first about taking the offer off the table and just recently using his stooge, Ald. Beal to complain to Chuck Goudie about the "secret bonus" police get. Secret bonus??? It's part of your contract. The city routinely offered uniform and duty availability pay in lieu of a larger pay raise because they found it to be to their advantage to do it that way. Mayor Daley GET REAL. You guys are going to march tomorrow and I'll be there with you.
After the march....then what? Well, this city, not the citizens but Mayor Daley has absolutely no respect for you. He continuously breaks rules, promises and laws in his dealing with the police. He views you as a necessary evil that he must put up with. I think it's time to show him just how necessary you are. I think its time for you guys to seriously consider a BLUE FLU. I know it will be a hard decision for many of you because it goes against everything you believe in and it puts the public you serve at risk, but it probably the only thing that
will get through Daley's thick skull.I know you are prevented from a job action but you are being forced into a corner. You have to fight fire with fire. The flu is going around.....If you guys could somehow organize a day when you are not feeling well, have a fever, a bad cold, sore throat, stomach flu,...whatever, and call in to be placed on the medical, you would get his attention. The next day your symptoms would probably clear up and you could return to your regular duties. I know this is drastic but I think the time has come to start to seriously consider this. I have watched what this man has done to my family members and friends. It's not right and it must change. The Chicago Police Dept has always been made up of great men and women. It still is. Be safe,

-BULLET PROOF VEST $400-$700 REPLACED EVERY 5YRS.
-RAIN COAT $200, FIELD COAT $240, SWEATER $90.
-AMMUNITION FOR RANGE $20-$25 PER BOX (PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE)
-DUTY WEAPON $400-$800
-TRAINING COST PRICELESS, BECAUSE MY LIFE IS WORTH THE PRICE WHEN THE CITY DOESN'T PROVIDE IT. ONE THREE HOUR RANGE CLASS PER YEAR IS NOT TRAINING AND ONE EXTRA BOX OF AMMO PER YEAR DOES NOT HELP WITH COST.

CHUCK CERTAIN UNIFORM COMBINATION MUST BE WORN TOGETHER, BUT ALL COMBINATIONS MUST BE PURCHASED AND WORN AS DIRECTED PER DEPT POLICY. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SPEACIALIZED UNITS WHO HAVE ADDITIONAL BLACK UNIFORMS, SWAT UNIFORMS ALONG WITH ALL THE RIOT GEAR. CHUCK THERE ARE MANY UNITS IN THIS DEPT WITH DIFFERENT UNIFORMS TYPES. THE CITY DOES NOT PAY FOR FIRST ISSUE WHEN A CHANGE IS MADE OR FOR ITEMS DAMAGED, LOST OR STOLEN, DURING THE COURSE OF YOUR JOB. THAT IS WHERE THIS "BURIED TREASURE" COMES IN. UNIFORMS ARE MARKED UP 300-500% AND THE QUIALTY OF CITY APPROVED GEAR IS USUALLY SUBSTANDARD WHICH MEANS YOU ARE ALWAYS REPLACING SOMETHING. I'M SURE THE CITY DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT THEY TAX THE "TREASURE" AT 33%. THEY CAN ALSO CHANGE YOUR WORK HOURS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED AT A DROP OF A DIME. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON FOR THIS TREASURE. JUST ASK ANY MEMBER OF A UNIT HOW OFTEN THEIR SCHEDULES ARE CHANGED OR DAYS OFF ARE CANCELED IN A YEAR. PLEASE CHECK YOUR FACTS IN THE FUTURE BEFORE FEEDING INTO THE CITY'S BS.

If the coppers in gang intell, narcotics, MSF, TRU, or any other street working unit returned to the districts, we would have this department by the balls. Unfortunately for us, too many coppers like the individual perks they get in these units as opposed to the shit they get in a district. I am sorry to say that these cops' shortsighted thinking has completely undercut our union.

These cops have forgotten that what is really in their best interest is the pay and benefits and not the number of awards and go days the department wants to bestow on the few coppers who continue to bust this union by doing the department's bidding without a contract.

The way to break any union is to offer special individual "benefits." Once people choose these personal perks over the greater collective good, the union dissolves.

When arrest numbers continue to decline, watch the department open up new specialized units. Soon so many coppers will be willing to forgo contractual protections for personal perks that the contract won't even cover most of the department. Once that happens, the union will dissolve along with the contract. The city will pull the personal perks and operate the whole department without any contract at all.

That's the real reason this city is free to operate as ususal while refusing to even negotiate for a police contract.

In actuality, those so called "bonuses" were a CONCESSION to the city by the union, because the city wanted to give us a raise, but didn't want the extra cost of their supposed 18% pension contribution... so we actually gave up base pay to the city. Later we got the duty avail. made pensionalbe.
Also, NONE of that money is a BONUS, but a contractual element.

I was unable to reach a direct person to speak with. When I finally spoke to someone in WLS Accounting and Finance that individual refused to give me her name and told me that such information is not available to the general public.

Really, Chuck? The power of the media is absolutely corrupt. There is no one to correct your misleading and false descriptions of my "duty availability pay" and "uniform allowance".

Come clean with your salary and bonuses, Mr. Ass-wipe Chief Investigative Reporter! Don't you know their are hundreds of Chicagoans who don't have a job and would love to be able to make tons of money for what you do.

Why won't WLS disclose your salary and bonuses? Better, yet, why don't you? Put yourself on par with the working proletariat. You won't do it because you are an absolute coward. You hide behind the power of the press and won't let the story out about how well you and your colleague are fairing during this economic down turn with your own pay raises. The saddest thing is that you pretend to care and you fool some of your audiences with your acting, but deep down you only care about yourself and increasing your salary and bonuses. Hypocrite!

I wonder if this fine piece of journalistic crap will tell the tale of how the duty availability came about: the City refused to pay us a reasonable wage so they gave us this so as to avoid the pension contributions. Eventually it was negotiated to pay pension on that money. I would have been very happy to have gotten an appropriate wage instead of this money. But no, the City said otherwise.

And the uniform allowance, Chuck: so you want a commisary like the firefighters? OK, how do you account for the civilian dress officers? You know, Detectives, Tactical Officers, Covert Officers, Administrative personnel? Huh? Jackie Heard explain that to you?

Chuck, you will wind up looking like a complete fool after this piece.

Howdy SCC. Long time no type. You know it's BAD if I'm back on the blog. When did I post last - 3 years ago? Back then, The Schicklgroover sensed that his bretheren were not quite at the level of pissed-offedness as himself and so slunk off to his cryogenic hollow log to hibernate. Then a tragedy struck his family, forcing him from his slumber. His once-beloved Department allowed the perpetrator of this tragedy to remain unpunished and spent their efforts instead whitewashing and sweeping their ineptitude under the rug. While seeking justice in this matter, a clarion call has reached his ears. And the call is NO FUCKING MORE!!!!!

Thank you Mayor Daley by way of Chuck Goudie for bringing me out of hiding.

What kills me about this “in-depth investigation” by the I-Team is that this provision in our contract has been public for as long as duty availability has been around. The only “investigating” the I Team did was go to the FOP website and sit down an read the fucking contract. It’s no secret. It’s right fricken there in black and white. Ray Charles could have “investigated” this. Such laziness, it’s no wonder that the newspapers are going under and hopefully the taking heads will too.

hey scc, here's another thing to keep in mind when daley crys poor on our contract. our contract expired nearly 2 years ago which was before the market collapse. at that time we would have surely been entitled to a raise and the money should have been set aside in anticipation of a contract. there's money for us somewhere. if no money then some sort of non-monetary compensation.

Just wanted to let you know how our esteemed dickhead mayor was introduced to all the police at the star retirement ceremony for Nate Taylor: These are Jody's words: "Now, please let me introduce a man who cares deeply about the men and women of the Chicago Police Department, The honorable Mayor Richard M. Daley." It was a priceless sight to see all the heads of the exempts look down and shake from side to side. It was as almost they were just praying that no one would say anything. But we are a class bunch and kept our mouths closed out of respect for Nate, not for our Mayor. And then it was a real treat to listen to this stuttering prick mumble behind the podium.

"Duty Availability Pay" was originally introduced as a real shift differential for working nights and weekends. But then all of the people who worked straight days and weekends off, bitched that they wouldn't be eligible for this money. So to cave in to the demands of these (mostly) clout heavy cry babies, the money was made available to all, under the guise that even though a copper might work straight days, he or she was technically available to work weekends or nights. Most of us got a good laugh over that one.

My Uniform Allowance and Duty Availability Pay are TAXED and on My W-2 Form.

People who received a Shackman Decree settlement check get a form 1099 so they have to pay taxes on that.

NOW, are the Discretionary Funds that the Aldermen get, are they taxed? Now, if some whistle blower at City Hall who has a handle on this can get information to the IRS, it could be worth a hell of a Finder's Fee. Now that would be a story, but Goudie wouldn't investigate that.

Dear Chuck and the Alderman of the Great City of Chicago,
Please understand that it is up to you all to determine if we should no longer receive this portion of our PAY. But please be reminded that this is a portion of the SALARY we receive and eliminating it will do nothing but make that same amount be reflected on our paychecks.

Where you BOTH have it wrong is that this is some sort of bonus. It is not. It is our salary and has counted as our salary for years. If you choose to eliminate it are you suggesting officers take a $4700 pay cut? Perhaps you are.

Why is it that Daley is never investigated but all his "right hand men are"?
The police are questioned about 4,700.00 that is TAXED but Beale isn't brought to the table about voting on his own raise! How about his 1.3 mill slush fund. Why does an alderman make more than a Cop, firefighter or teacher? Why don't aldermen have to have a formal college education?
I've always stood tall for my city. However this political climate is dog shit and I can't wait to retire and move out of this fucked up state!
I only want to live long enough to see Daley, Stroger, Beale and Goudie get ass cancer, go to jail and die while getting raped by a guy with a dick like a fire plug!!!

Chuck Goudie and other media types should investigate the real "hidden treasure": that the CPD is budgeted for 12,500 sworn police officers and in reality, there may be only 7700 officers. Where does this money go?

I retired in 2006 and was told that there were only 9600 sworn police officers at that time.

J-Fed supposedly made a comment recently that there are only 7700 sworn CPD members.

What is the truth?

Why doesn't the media use FOIA requests and find out exactly how many sworn police officers there are? (Hint: Request the number of uniform checks that were cut!).

You are guaranteed to uncover "buried treasure" beyond belief. The city has been short-changing the number of sworn CPD for several years. There is a huge gap between the budgeted strength and actual manpower.

Attention: Chicago media members: do your job!!!

This is a public safety issue! You would be doing a pubic service to the citizens of Chicago who are paying for police service that does not exist due to lack of manpower.

OFF TOPIC - very important.

I have been posting about our ill run pension fund for 18 months now. Not much of a response but there is more news.
Exxon has a pension fund. Their pension fund lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Exxon is now suing Northern Trust ( of Chicago) for recklessly investing the pension fund. I also have noticed the new annuity report which is usually out in Feb- March is not out yet from the pension fund. Is it that bad? Maybe our trustees can look at which advisors recklessly invested in CDOs,CMOs and CMBS - and all the rest of the nonsense

You call this an investigation? This is part of our contract not some hidden bonus as you allege. Had you conducted a real investigation you would of found that we are taxed on this and the money is not pensionable. That is why the City gave it to us in that way, to get out of paying into our pension. You can look up our contract on line, it’s no secret.
For channel 7 to be featuring blurbs that ask “How would you like at 4700.00 Bonus?”
I’ll ask a question, how would you like to be at 51st and Halsted when a gang banger lets loose with an AK 47. I am truly disappointed with Channel 7 and this irresponsible reporting.

By the way, when all this talk of money in the city budget comes up, how come the media...and the FOP...never mention that the aldercreatures get free health care, and that they get an 85% pension and free health care for life for serving two terms (that's 8 measely years). Oh, and da mare gets the same thing.

The media in this city sucks. The first to cry about First Amendment Rights, but the last to exercise them by standing up to Shortshanks. They won't confront him, and then shit out what City Hall dictates to them at the most opportune time for his majesty. They should be ashamed of themselves. But that would require integrity and pride, and a snese of honor. 99% of them would wet themselves if they had to respond to a man with a gun call, yet they pass judgement on us, while giving the overpaid, underworked, gutless alderpersons of this city a skate on self imposed raises and benefits.

Chicago has to be the most corrupt city in this country. Yet "truth seekers" like Goudy, and the manly Steinberg, who sit at their safe little desks, pontificate against individuals who risk their lives everyday. When Steinberg cried, like the bitch that he is, that "newpapermen aren't bring offered 16% over five years", did he have the courage to quote his six figure salary, and outstanding health care, and the fact that he "works" about 20 hours a week, tiring his fingers on a keyboard with nothing more than unsubstantiated, unresearched, PERSONAL OPINIONS, biased by his dislike of the police because he is a drunken wife beater???

WHY does FOP continuely lose the public relation battles. Every president they get thinks he is the best spokesman for us. Yet they always get beat to crap in the press. For God's sake, when will they spend some money on PR, so we stop getting beat to shit in the pathetic excuse for media in this apparently seperate part of the United States of America, where freedom of speech and expression are subservient to the whims, and desires, of a spoiled little dictator who refuses to answer direct questions, or be held accountable for anything in his feudal kingdom.

If there has ever been an example of oppression, and suppression, within the country that is supposed to be the paragon of democracy, it is here in Chicago. And the Federal government should also be ashamed that it has failed to intervene, and dissolve the dictatorship that is Chicago.

Goudie is small potatoes. He is just doing the mayor's bidding for reasons known only to him.
However, the point must be made that duty availability was negociated at the bargaining table and was approved by the city instead of a higher percentage pay raise. You only have to look at history to find the correct answers.

Chuck, If you want to investigate something, investigate how the locations for those new police stations were choosen. Why was the 15th District built on the edge of the city on property that had to be torn down when there are plenty of vacant lots on the westside? What state representive and family owned the land? What about the other stations? But this would take some true investigative ability.

Chuck Goudie makes how much a year? It took me 3 years to pay off my academy expenses, money that was taken out of my check when i cleared $550.00 per week. In this time, I have been punched, kicked, shot at and once had to fight for my life for my pistol which a fine citizen on a domestic decided he wanted to shoot me with once he grabbed it. And for what?

Chuck, I know you read this site. You read the bitching, but if we still weren't showing up at jobs, why could we bitch? We still do our job, which is showing up at calls of my kid won't go to school, my kid won't do the dishes, my kid won't respect me. The Police show up, and what do we get? "Where were you when my cousin got shot?" "Where were you when I was getting beat?" I was at your house handling your B.S. Chuck, the people that march on the police, how many of them have called 911 at LEAST 3 times in their lives? I, and my family, have called the CPD ONCE combined in, including my parents who grew up in chicago, in over 70 years. Yet, the same people who bitch at me at 4am have called 20 times since new years day.

The media's (and daley-interesting how this story just HAPPENS to come out today)main goal is to de-humanize us. When the CPS student gets shot, media shows outpouring of grief from family. Protests fill the streets. Anti-gun marches. But when the CPD shoots someone, it's imposible that they could of had a gun. Good kid, no guns in our neighborhood. Family shown crying. NEVER does the officer have a family unless we are dead. We are INHUMAN to the media. No pictures of our family when we go home and take care of our loved ones. No pictures of us coaching our kids, working to put them to school. This wouldn't work. We are evil people. We have no life. Yes, we voluntarily took this job. Yes, we know we were losing time with our families. But to portray us ALL as ungrateful bastards who are screwing the public (Beales, Daley, Goudie), just for one day walk in our shoes. I am grateful and proud to be a member of the CPD. I do my job with honor. Just remember the next time you need help, who is going to respond without prejudice. The CPD. We are still an honorable bunch, and you can beat us down all you want, yet at the end of the day, we will be there when you need us.

OT: Capt Glombicki chasing after Cmdr Carter today in parking lot crying about why he booted him to 021, now he can't ruin the lowly PO's lives with revenge anymore in 004. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA See ya.

P.S. How does it feel to get fu@#ed with Steve



Be careful what you wish for!!!!!! Glombicki at least stood up for us and tried to give us our time due whenever we wanted. Also, he had the balls to call carter on the issue, pretty sad when a commander is running scared from his own district so he can avoid a captain. Talk about little morale going to none. 004 is F/CKED UP!!!

Mayor Daley says the Taxpayers have been very good to us!

Well what do you think we are Daley? You have us strapped to this god-forsaken city with your residency rule and what about the non-tax payers in this sanctuary city? The taxpayers are paying for them too; including myself and every other PO in this stinking city. Get rid of them and maybe you can pay us!

This all smoke and mirros.
This is a contractual item that we have had for years.
This item is part of our pay package.
What's disturbing about all of this coming to light and being "exposed" on the 10 o'clock news is that everyday there seems to be more and more scrunity of our contract.

This is another attempt by the Daley admin to Union bust.

This was not the sole doing of Alderman Beale, that much I have confirmed. Daley is very crafty at getting his message out through Aldermen.

Same as the private police initiative supposedly pushed by Beale and Company. This is Daley talking to us through them. Nothing more.

Beale isn't imaginative enough to come up with any of this on his own, listen to him stumble through his script tonight on Channel 7.

It is the Master Criminal Himself speaking, Don Cheech, the Godfather, the head of the Daley Crime Family, Richard M. Daley.

He senses an opportunity to cut our pay and benefits and he is jumping on it with both feet. I feel this is likely to blow up in his face. He has no control over what an arbitrator will do.

This contract now will very likely take a long time to get settled brothers and sisters. We must now stand together like never before. United we will prevail.

And a pox upon the Sergeant's Association for not supporting us like the Captains and Lieutenant's did.

Always remember who the true enemy is: Richard M. Daley.

Word just out in 022 from the Village of Evergreen Park-----per Mayor james Sexton and the Police Chief (forgot his name), any squad cars going through the redlight camera in front of Little Co of Mary Hospital, not on a verifiable emergency call, WILL receive a ticket in the mail.

(((((((((((((((((((

Another little pussy move by Daley.... Now the officers in EP should start their OWN war against their OWN mayor, the little fuckweasel Daley chimp his is AND their chief.

Who wants to bet you're gonna see next to NO coverage by the media about the march?

Who wants to bet Daley shithead has already ordered the media to keep video coverage to absolute minimum to minimize embarassing the criminal running this city into the ground?

We have some of the most talented investigators in the world here! Why don't we use this talent and investigate the Daley crime family and turn the evidence over to the Feds! Use your skills and connections lets send these thiefs to Jail!

.....because half of the brass is connected to city hall or owes some alderthief. They won't let us touch that....you need the feds or some other outside agency.

Also, some bosses you just can't trust. You'll be marked.

Can you post his phone number - everyone should call his phone and tell him that not accepting a 6% raise , etc.. is an injustice

The suburban police departments may not get duty availability pay but what about all of the money that goes into new police cars. I challenge you Chuck Goudie to find a Suburban officer driving a squad with more than 60 thousand miles on it. Especially in Dupage,or what about in Hinsdale where you live? The suburbs spend way more per officer in just training than the city pays Chicago PD for duty availability and uniform allowance combined. Your investigation could of been done by me, a police wife but my investigation would of been better.

JUST WATCHED CHUCK GOUDY'S REPORT ON I-TEAM CHANNEL 7 NEWS AT 10.
WHY DOESN'T CHUCK GOUDY ASK THE MAYOR AND ALDERMAN BEALE HOW THE MAYOR JUSTIFIES 22-24 SECURITY SPECIALIST( PATROLMAN MAKING D-3 PAY) AND TWO PATROLMAN (COMMANDERS) MAKING COMMANDERS PAY.
THATS RIGHT! 24-26 OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO THE MAYOR AND HIS FAMILY, 24/7, PLUS A UNIFORM DETAIL FROM 001ST DISTRICT ON HIS HOME, FRONT AND BACK DOOR OF COURSE.
TO QUOTE THE MAYOR, " THE MAYOR NEEDS TO GET REAL", AFTER ALL, WE ARE IN BAD ECONOMIC TIMES".

Goudie, why don't you ask the city why we get duty availability instead of shift differential. I'm sure they will not tell you the truth. The reason it is called duty availability instead of shift differential is because of all the clout cry babies that work days. If it was shift differential all the clout hacks would not get it because they work some hidden spot on days their whole career. So, do not blame the rank and file, this soley sits with the clout hacks and their belief of entitlement within the politics of this city.
