Really? By Example?

  • Mayor Richard Daley on Thursday spelled out what he wants from Springfield as lawmakers head into the homestretch: more money for schools, better gun-control laws and protection for property-tax payers.

    But the mayor notably did not stake out a position on the push to improve ethics laws in a state awash in corruption scandals, one of the key issues in the spring session scheduled to end May 31.

    Asked why not, Daley said he is "leading by example" in Chicago.
Let's see. Sorich. Huels. His son's sewer contract. His nephew's pension grab. The HDO. Al Sanchez. Over a dozen and a half aldercreatures on his watch.

Examples. Yeah, ok.

He also commented (vehemently) that he runs a 'transparent' government and that Chicago is a leader in transparency.

This, of course, is the mayor who refused to supply his list of 'shovel-ready' projects for Federal funding. Oh, and this is the mayor who can't be bothered to keep or supply the records of his trips, gifts received and perks.

Same old, same old.

Oh my God!

I just awoke from a horrific nightmare. The mujahideen had abducted the mayor. Shouting "Allah Akbar", Al Qaeda gave us an ultimatum. Chicago had 72 hours to deliver a ransom in a dead drop with instructions to follow. Otherwise, they would videotape the beheading of our mayor and send it to al Jazeera. They demanded two hundred dollars ($200) in non sequential, dirty, wrinkled one dollar bills.

After much soul searching, it was decided that we would not cave to the terrorists' demands.

Budget constraints.

--------------------------------

Daley is either clinically insane or he really believes the public will continue to swallow his bullshit. On top of it all, the mainstream media handles him with kids gloves.

Ace reporter Phil Schitz works the streets and says there's a lot of angry citizens out there; and the number is growing at an alarming rate each month (roughly one-half million Americans are losing their jobs each month). Daley and other corrupt politicians in this country are going to have to deal with the upcoming civil unrest-they will not be able to handle it. You law enforcement officers be safe.

Former Chicago mayoral candidate and political science professor Dick Simpson said on the news that Erkle would lose an election for his present office, according to a recent popularity poll, if it were held today.

He went on to say that this poll was taken BEFORE the firing of his cousin over the Tony Cole BS, and BEFORE his veto of a bill that would ease taxes for county residents. It was also BEFORE the news of his failure to pay HIS OWN taxes, and BEFORE black Ald. Toni Preckwinkle declared her candidacy for his office, President of the Cook County Board.

If an election we held between Stroger, Preckwinkle and Forrest Claypool, Claypool would win and Stroger would come in last.

Why doesn't Mayor Daley protect property tax payer's by removing all of the City's TIF zones. They do make taxes go up, since, they freeze property tax levels. The City secretly deposits money into an off-books account the mayor controls with little public scrutiny. Despite what every poltican says, TIF's do make taxes go up, as all the other tax bodies fight over a small piece of the tax pie. Cook County has 254 TIF, eveyone makes property tax percetages higher for the special tax districts. The rates are not froze like poltcians keep saying on television.

Dear Officer: I suggest that you read the order on hate crimes. The hate crime statute is used to elevate what would ordinarily be a misdemeanor to a felony when said misdemeanor is perpetrated based on race or other factors. Crimes that are already a felony do not need to be charged as a hate crime for the simple fact that they are already a FELONY. I am sure that our great judges in the county of Cook will take race or other factors, if they exist, into consideration during sentencing.

Maybe the citizens, led by certain individuals willing to lead the charge, could establish a reward fund; a fund to help promote honest government in the city.

A fund that would pay a reward for information leading to the indictment, trial, conviction and incarceration of the chief executive of the City of Chicago for presiding over massive systemic corruption and multiple crimes against the citizens and employees of the City of Chicago.

Anyone could contribute to this fund. It would just grow and grow and perhaps if it got large enough some tongues might start wagging.

Think of how many of Daley's cohorts are sitting in prison right now and what they must know and how good would about a half million or more bucks might feel to one of them about now.

Just wishful thinking, you know.

But we can ask them to pay for parking on the lake, and everywhere else in the city. We can also ask to pay a dime for bottled water, pay the highest sales tax in the United States. Yeah, that's OK.
