List of Bad Pension Investments
Mayor Daley's nephew Robert Vanecko and Vanecko's business partner Allison S. Davis have been making news lately.
Their real estate investment business, DV Urban Realty Partners, manages $68 million for five city pension funds -- representing Chicago police officers, teachers, CTA employees and other city workers.
- 1. 1212 S. Michigan Ave.
2. 2400 S. Michigan Ave.
3. 217 S. Jefferson St.
4. 7100 S. South Shore Dr.
5. 3508 S. State St.
6. 3030 N. Broadway
7. 3013-27 N. Waterloo Ct.
8. 3348 S. Pulaski Rd.
And amazingly, they are still getting paid "management" fees and leasing a number of these properties to the City at questionable rates. All in a days work we suppose.

This stinks to the high heavens and beyond
Is there anything unethical about this???
Hell yeah there is!!!
I'd like to see Daley's ethics statement. Did he do the training this year?
I suspect the list of buffers will get much longer as to protect the inside guy for the FEEBS.
As Richard M. Daley used to say "if ya can't help family with friends with some great deals, who can ya help !!!!
Does shortshanks have to file an Ethics Statement ???
Does he even know how to spell ETHICS ????????
These "sweetheart" deals have got to end !!!!
The Richard M. Daley Crime wave has to end. I worked too hard for my pension to have these slimeballs piss it away & enrich their bank accounts.
Indict the Daley crime family now !!!!!!!!
Put the vultures in Prison where they belong.
Business as usual in the most corrupt State of the Union. Raise our taxes and lay off hundreds of people instead of getting rid of all the HANDOUTS known as "Pork"! How many store front Reverend's got paid?
If you only knew of the stuff that got buried the second "our" President was elected...
How is Allison Davis listed as Daley's key "African-American" allies?
PS - Can we get our money back?
WE BETTER ALL WAKE-UP AND VOTE THESE FOOLS OUT OF OFFICE, i hope i live long enough to see them go to jail......

The 003 District is the poster boy for bad morale. What, if anything is the Command Staff going to do about it. Instead of bringing in Federal Agents, they better bring someone in from the Military to explain how important morale is. We are at war with crime spinning out of control. Wars are won and lost based on morale. Morale plays a big roll on the out come of events and work ethics. When more Officers are excessive drinking that's in a big part due to morale. When more Officers are going to jail for criminal behavior that's because of morale. In this study of morale do they understand how critical morale is to winning. We are losing the fight and greatly needed leadership, that can truly turn things around. We are truly headed for much darker times. I see no change in sight and know things are going to get a lot worse.
God as all soldiers do I pray for peace and for a greatly needed help.
We are losing, but I will never give up or never surrender.

THIS IS OFF-TOPIC: how ever i think this military guy is on to something. i wonder if when morale goes down does firings and people leaving the job go up?
3030 N. Broadway, I almost fell off my chair when I saw that address. Everything makes perfect sense now. There was a Dominick's store at that location a couple of years ago. One day it burnt to the ground as if it was built out of cardboard. Shortly thereafter that pillar of the community, Tom Tunney the alderman tried to put a positive spin on the event on his web site.
I suspected it was an arson fire. Tunney's actions made me suspect even more. Now I read Daley's nephew Robert Vanecko has a financial interest in the property and that makes me certain it was arson.
And they got away with it didn't they.
We can only hope that Fitz puts these two in jail and maybe our moron mayor also . Wouldn't that be great !
TIME FOR DALEY TO GO!!!
Dump Daley now before the city goes under
FOP Lawsuit?????
Just another example of how Da Mayor and his family thinks of us a pee ons that are there to serve them and make them rich and powerful.
I blame our pension trustees for this for giving in to political pressure.
They damn well knew who Davis and Vanecko were, you can bet on it. Ken Hauser swore he didn't know. Ken Hauser is a liar. So is Steve Robbins.
Steve Robbins stood up at an FOP General meeting and told those in attendance it was a good investment, that being the mayor's nephew had nothing to do with it.
Bullshit.
Steve Robbins, along with Ken Hauser should be on the list of those being investigated for this, their "Yes" votes gave our pension money to those Daley thieves.
We need to hold those who steal our pension funds accountable.
I..I...just can't believe it
So many scams so little time to investigate! That is how they do it! Make millions and if they catch you just pay back one tenth of what you stoled and go under house arrest for a year! There are not enough investigators to look into all the thefts so Daley will throw us a bone to overshadow his nephew's "indiscretion" and all will be forgotten! The olympics, parking meters, airport leases, all make the headlines! The pension board has a majority of "Daleyites" so the subpoena will gather dust! Hope Mike Shields keeps twisting the knife!
As soon as we all get our raise and back pay no one will worry about all the corruption! Its just Chicago being Chicago! You know!
FOP Lawsuit?????
Laffin my fuckin ass off! Yea right!
What a horrible spin that Fran Spielman put on this story. It's nice to see that it was co-authored by Mayor Daley himself. We all hope that poor Bobby Vanecko "learns his lesson" at the expense of our hard earned pension dollars.
Fran, if you're reading this, you are a coward journalist.
Read today's paper. Vanecko resigned.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/1613491,CST-NWS-mayor09.article
Thanks Franny
Today's story on the Sun Times is just a bunch of spin by Daley.
And yet this cocksucker Daley is considered a "well respected mayor" by the olympic committee.
What kind of fucking idiots are these people that they have no clue as to the pathetic piece of shit we have for a mayor?
How is it possible to continually notify these fucking idiots of the headlines about the pathetic criminal Daley and show them exactly what is going to happen to this city because of the olympics?
As one poster indicated before, where are the pension board members? They should be scrutinizing EVERY investment! I remember back in the 80's I approached Bob Stritch when he was the head of the CPOD pension fund. My company was offering guaranteed U.S. governemt bonds (through Ginnie Mae) as a solid pension fund investment. He questioned me as to who I knew, any of my relatives work for the city, etc., etc. I had no connections; all I had was a good investment where you could double your money every 10 years.
What really struck me was how clueless this moron was about different kinds of investments. Then I found out why he was head of the pension fund - he was the nephew of the deceased Cardinal Stritch! No other qualifications! And he was in charge of a billion dollar fund!
You need a board that knows what they are doing!
Oh come on SCC I just read in Fran Speilman's column, who never ever is used to plant a story by City Hall people, that Daley is very very upset by all the actions of his nephew. A "family source" said Daley didn't know anything about his nephews pension related activities. The article also says Daley has absolutely no control over the pension boards. Now there you have it Daley is mad at his nephew, didn't know about the pension deals, couldn't do anything about the pension deals even if he did. So this should be the end of the story, Daley, Daley family sources and Fran Speilman have all said its true, therefore it must be.
By the way I have 500 ft. of ocean view property in Kansas, does anyone want to buy it.
FOP Lawsuit?????
Laffin my fuckin ass off! Yea right!

Forget FOP it's the U.S. Attorney's job. Pat Fitzgerald why is Daley walking the streets? Or did Holder and Obama tell you hands off? We are all sure that you had him for lying under oath when you took statements from him at the start of the truck for hire. That's when Maggie quit her job and the son ran to the military. But that was before Holder and Obama got in. How do you justify putting in all of the little fish in jail and you let Daley walk the streets? As good as job as you have done it is starting to look fishy! If there is no indictment of Daley how about releasing Daley's transcript?

In the mean time maybe it's not a bad idea of thinking about a replacement.
Where is the Obama Bail money????
IT SEEMS THAT EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THE OLYMPICS.
DALEY HAS SQUIRLED AWAY MILLIONS IN TIFS,PARKING METER AND TOLL WAY MONEY
FOR A RAINY DAY.
WALSH CONSTRUCTION AND MANY OF DALEYS FRIENDS AND FAMILY SEEM TO HAVE A COMPANY TO HANDLE ANY NEW CONTRACTS.
IF CHICAGO DOES NOT HOST THE OLYMPIC R PENSION FUNDS IS GOING TO TAKE A NASTY HIT. ARE ELECTED REPS HAVE SOLD US DOWN THE RIVER.
THE LTS, SGTS, AND RETIREES NEED 2 SERIOUSLY LOOK AT WHO THE VOTE FOR ON THE PENSION BOARD. I KNOW EVERYONE LIKES FREE PENS BUT CMON.
LOOK 4 MANY OF THE PENSION BOARD MEMBERS TO HAVE A CASE OF THE I DONT RECALLS WHEN THEY HAVE TOO TESTIFY. U MAY ALSO WANT TO CHECK HOW MANY BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN PROMOTED BY MERIT AND HOW MANY OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE SWEET CITY JOBS.
WE R TALKING MILLION HERE IF CARUTHERS IS BURNED 4 40K THEN THIS CERTAINLY SHOULD BE LOOKED AT!
hell i retired a few year ago i stay home and make 50.000.00 what is someone who is max out doing working fuck the mayor retired is the only way to beat them then move out of the city and country i bet the mayor is moving to michingan when his time is up and i bet sgt keating will do the same and fat sam w ill get a job as a lock up keeper like he had before
O.T. On a positive note congrats to the Command staff with their innovative ideas and the officers that go out there every day implementing and carrying out these ideas. Thanks to you all, crime has droppped yet another month and the city is a safer place.

Hauser knew all about it. He FUCKING HELPED DV in its attempt to get business from another pension fund. Ask him about it. As for Robbins the Retard, I do believe that he was truly in the dark. You've got to know him. He really is a moron.
SSC LETS START A DRAFT RUDY GUILIANI FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO 2011.
All I hear Chicagoans doing is complaining and bitching about how they are pissed about the private parking meters, high sales taxes, etc...
Yet, when election time comes around, in a non-presidential election year, as little as 30% of the voters vote! And in a presidential election year, 50% vote!
So you dumb fuckers get exactly what you deserve.
Things like this have been going on for a very very long time in Chicago. But in the past everyone got a "little somthing". So it continued "yes this stuff happens but it's Chicago", they would say. We got raises in the past, I remember the first contract, never thought that would happen, little things. "Got to keep everyone, at least a "little happy". If your an "old timer" like me, you will remember the "Clubs" all the districts had them. Looks like they replaced them with "merit stuff". But now, something has gone wrong. I am not that close to all now so I can't put my finger on it, but something is going wrong or changing for them, or it Could be this is O.C.s final assault, take it all.
"THIS IS OFF-TOPIC: how ever i think this military guy is on to something. i wonder if when morale goes down does firings and people leaving the job go up?"
6/09/2009 03:21:00 AM
----------------------------------
I agree. When morale is down good coppers quit. They'll quit the job or they'll quit being the police. Unfortunately, if you quit being the police, the State's Attorney's office will be more than happy to have you indicted fornot performing your job. I believeit falls under "Official Misconduct".
I blame our pension trustees for this for giving in to political pressure.
They damn well knew who Davis and Vanecko were, you can bet on it. Ken Hauser swore he didn't know. Ken Hauser is a liar. So is Steve Robbins.

Listening is a skill. Invest in a tape recorder like I did because I can’t write as fast as I need to. Robbins stated that the proposal was tabled until the Investment Advisor came back to a later meeting and told the whole board that it was a good investment. That advisor knew Shorkshanks nephew and did not tell the whole board. If you were in the know you would realize that the SEC has already received a complaint which is under investigation.
WTF Im FUKED No Prize at the end of the tour with 5yrs to go!!!!!!!!
Mike Lazarro, the sergeants trustee was the only NO VOTE on this matter.
Golf War veteran???
If you were there, you would know how to spell it right.
time for the FEDS to investigate ALL this mess, before we are all retirement age, and penniless, our carcasses picked clean by the king of greed, DALEY.
Everyone I speak with from States out southwest, southeast, and north, think the Feds are corrupt as they can't catch Daley with all this damning evidence against him and his criminal organization.
Don't forget, some of your ELECTED SWORN Trustees voted for this,. They then voted to block a subpoena.
highest sales taxes
highest gas prices
highest parking fees
highest amount of unfilled potholes
highest amount of corruption

WELCOME TO CHICAGO-RICH DALEY, MAYOR

dump daley, or the city is gone....
As of today, only Allison Davis gets the fee. Vanecko quit. Are we going to get our money back? Doubtful.
Elzie Higgenbotham, long time Daley hack, is in that mix as well.
Someone please ask how and why a bunch of the companies that handle our pension money donate to Trustee Stephanie Neely's campaign fund. She's next. Fo Schnizzle.
in case you did not know ,and you don't . alison davis is black . here black . we come in all shades and colors
Anita Alverez! WAKE UP ! We realize that you are a democrat hack but the fact is that you want highEr office. Why not do your job. You have a financial Crimes Unit that does absolutely nothing.
LOCK VANECKO UP! OR DO YOU HAVE TO RUN IT BY BOSS DALEY FORST FOR APPROVAL? C
Northen I am suprised and disappointed you back-pedaled on Inspector DP. when some of the vicious bullys who like to spew forth their venom gave you a little heat. It was great you reached out to her to find out what was really going on, because Lord knows, there couldnt be a logical explanation that would satisfy the blood-lust of those who relish in the misfortune and hardships of others, especially if that person wears a white shirt. If only we could show the support and compassion to each other every day that we so overwhelmingly do when it is too late (RIP AV)the
CPD would be a much better place. Is it that hard to believe that Bridgeport might be home to a police-hating trouble-making neighbor who makes life miserable for one of us..getting C.R.'s etc.? This fine neighborhood spawned our fine mayor and scores of political assholes. Do you think the Dept. would back one of us? DP is an attorney, and a smart one at that. I am sure she is protecting herself from whatever trouble-making BS the neighbor is doing.Anyone that knows DP knows she is not a clout-heavy merit hack. She rose from the ashes of a very difficult childhood and made something of herself IN SPITE of the odds stacked against her. Any clout she has is because the big bosses always need someone like her working for them doing all of the work. There are many people on this job who will never know that DP had the balls to stand up and tell the truth about the shenanigans of this Dept. in Federal Court, at the expense of her career. I guarentee there are no merit promotions for her, (Dept. lost big time) So, CARRY ON DEBBIE, and I wish there were many more of you!
hey shavey HOORAH at last you mentioned the pension scandal, was starting to think you forgot, how about the bozos who authorised this mess, hope Pat Fitz will start a case against these people we trusted wqith our money.
Off the record...Off duty P.O. shoots offender in leg who tried to "carjack" his BMW.
GOOD JOB OFFICE (HT)!!! NEXT TIME SHOOT TO KILL!!!
Vanecko steps down after embarressing the crime king daley, but yet still gets paid millions from "our ' pension fund! Fatass hauser step the fuck down! mike Shields run for FOP President you need cash? I'm in!

The Daley family is going to be super rich after all those years of stealing from the tax payers.
They won't do any time and you will all still be the poor suckers who voted for him.
Say no to Judge Sotomayer's appointment to Supreme Court, before Obama turns the entire country nto Chicago. The woman is racist, and demonstrated poor judgement in cases of hiring discrimination on several occasions, and is far from the best judge to be appointed to the highest court in our Country.
hey Daley, help YOUR family with YOUR money, not MINE,
signed, Chicago Taxpayer
Who's Vanecko married to? Just wondering. What's the background on his partner. We should be able to connect the dots to those property's in no time. Can someone post photo's of those sites? I'm retired w/plenty of time to research.
Where is U.S. Attorney Pat Fitzgerald on this case at?
Is he sleeping with Daley on this?
why not send this shit to Better Government Association. Andy Shaw is head of the agency now. Send him all the Daley Shit!

"...Signed; Golf War Vet and a Chicago Police Officer...."
You know, some of your post sort of made sense and had some credibility until you "signed" it and showed what a fucking moron and liar you were. You don't have to make us think you're a veteran. It doesn't make you any cooler or make what you have to say more poignant. Don't insult those of us on the job who actually were in the service.
The war was in the GULF.
"Golf" is a tiny suburb between Morton Grove and Glenview and as far as I can recall, they have not been at war with any other community.
A few thoughts:
8 million divided between Davis and Vanecko for 7 or 8 years is about 1/2 million per year each or 4 million or so each for the whole term. I guarantee you they put in no more than a month's worth of paydays into spending your pension money. 4 million for a month's work doing this ain't bad money, even for connected guys.
And if anyone wants to defend any particular Pension board trustee, you may want to see their stance on the Inspector General's subpoenas. It seems that some former law enforcement members on your pension board may not like subpoenas! Imagine that.
I expect a whole bunch of "I don't recalls" coming out of this, and I'm gonna be shocked if anyone kept written records of how this money was steered towards a Daley relative.
The Daley Machine is now using the old "Jedi mind trick" on the feds and the rest of the sheep...."My nephew doesn't work there any more so there's nothing to investigate"
""It's a terrible situation. Everyone wishes this wasn't going on. In hindsight, it looks bad. And it's obvious this is gonna continue," said one family member, who asked to remain anonymous.
"It's not easy watching your nephew being trashed. We all feel sorry for him. But he's finding out what we all learned 30 years ago — that if you stay around [government] long enough, you're gonna get burned."
Sources said other family members have been trying for some time to persuade Vanecko to dissolve his partnership with developer Allison Davis because of the perception that Daley family clout landed the deal.
Vanecko told them he was in the process of getting out, sources said. But that apparently didn't happen until this week.
**************
You have got to be kidding me. "..if you stay around [government] long enough, you're gonna get burned." Burned? Wow, he's the victim huh? Amazing.
He is just like all the scumbags picked up off the street.. They were just about to turn their life around, just about to get out of the drug slinging business, just about to become the best dad or mom or son or daughter ever!
These people - this family, the Daley family seem to have it all wrong. Government or the people didn't "burn" Vanecko - greed and corruption did.
Whether he got out of it or not, it doesn't make it right or make it something to skip investigating. He still got contracts others didn't because of his relationship to Daley. He still made purchases with that money and he still used the pension fund to pay him a salary for managing the same prperty tax payers were paying to rent.
The crazy excuses never end. It is sickening.
Now fully fund our pension you crook Daly. Don't even bring up the fact its underfunded during ANY neogtiations you hypocritical scumbag.
Golf War veteran???
If you were there, you would know how to spell it right.

Was there a war in the Village of Golf?

Don't use this blog to try to clear any of your cronies on the pension board. You all knew. You have your jobs because of Daley not because you are qualified to handle anything. We don't trust you with our money. Start your own blog to defend yourselves.
MAYOR DALEY YOU STINK GET OUT YOU PARASITE.
Vanecko-----he gone.
AFter this, next step should be looking at the financial advisors. Are they any good? Most of all , how many of the trustees took free trips and goodies and then handed over pension money to the advisors? This is what is costing the fund much more money than the nephew nonsense. These advisors put money into all the toxic assets that sank.
old retired guy
Speaking of Bad investments how are those tri river funds doing at the academy these days?
screw guiliani, he tried to stop firemen and coppers from digging out our brothers at ground zero he is a jagoff.SEMPER FI BITCHES!
I've been in two wars. The first gulf war and now the second. When did the golf war occur and how did I miss it? I'll bet those pesky newsmedia types are hiding it from us.
Sounds like the Ex-Gov. and the Teachers Pension scandal. Now who is going to be on trial for greed. Similar circumstances, is the MAyor next for the Feds? Time WILL tell...

FRAN SPIELMAN of the SCUM TIMES SAYS:
The tightly knit Daley family is struggling to solve an internal crisis caused by a nephew who they say refused to stop embarrassing his uncle.
Sources said Robert Vanecko was told nearly two years ago that his uncle, Mayor Daley, wanted him out of a risky real estate venture involving city employee pension funds.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Krikey, Mate! Does anyone believe this incredible load of shit?? (except retarded Fran, of course).....So now we are expected to believe that Silver Spoons Bob Vanecko is a "Rogue Nephew" that refused to stop embarrassing Mayor Uncle Fredo? Truth is, the family got caught with its hand in the cookie jar. The only person that ought to be embarrassed is Daley's love slave Fran Spielmann. That horseshit is an embarrassment to journalists everywhere.
P.S. That prick Daley won't hesitate to make anyone (even family) the scapegoat.

no problem dan
I really feel for you guys.
I once worked for a small business that gave me a real square dance getting my profit-sharing money but it was nothing close to the screwing you all are getting in this pension scam.
Daley is quoted in this puff piece article as saying Vanecko could be in to many business sectors and he was unaware Vanecko was involved in this pension thing until the shit hit the fan.
Nice attempt at brainwashing the masses Ms (master of the spiel). Spielman.
Of all the ways Vanecko could be making a living, it's just a "coinkydinky" that he's been making a living with sweetheart, no-bid deals between the City of Chicago run like a fiefdom by his Uncle the mayor and two start-up companies: Sewerbusters, Inc. (w Pat "Batman" Daley) and when that jig was up DV Pension Feecing, LLC (w/ Allison Davis whos father was a mucky muck at UIC).
Lets see the media report on how much that 68 million is of the total pension monies collected.
Let's see the media report on what investing experience of such sums of money Vanecko and Davis had before establishing DV Realty.
Let's see the media report on if the firm and D&V have the proper licensing and acrediting for "investing" -- Pension money.
Let's see the media report on how common it is for firms managing pension funds to receive $8 million for managing $68 million ( generally managers get 1% of the principal, annually, to manage jumbo sums like that).
Lets see the media report on the propriety of investing so much of the princple in Real Estate at such a late date in a bullish Real Estate market.
Lets see the media ask Fitzgerald, Lisa Madigan and/or Hoffman why there is no investigation of any politician or any politicians family member having ANY influence whatsoever how city pension money is invested.
Buck Naked
-not a cop
The pension boiard is starting to feel the heat boys and girls, let's not let up on them, Ken Hauser is a little weasel and will flush our money away, he gets his pension and gets paid on top of thatt, Gallagher is a Daley puppet
and they gave our money away, For the Mayor to say he didn't know his nephew was involved is pure BULLSHIT, We need another packed pension board meeting and another march on the city. Let's try at the Taste. WE got nothing right now!!! If we don't stop this right now wait until the city gets the Olympic Bid, The mayor and his group will clean up and we will get a few hours overtime. Thanks for listening and reading.

3030 N. Broadway, I almost fell off my chair when I saw that address. Everything makes perfect sense now. There was a Dominick's store at that location a couple of years ago. One day it burnt to the ground as if it was built out of cardboard. Shortly thereafter that pillar of the community, Tom Tunney the alderman tried to put a positive spin on the event on his web site.
I suspected it was an arson fire. Tunney's actions made me suspect even more. Now I read Daley's nephew Robert Vanecko has a financial interest in the property and that makes me certain it was arson.
And they got away with it didn't they.

It's called Greek lightning. It seems to strike just when a property needs to be rehabbed or rebuilt, like certain restaurants around town.
Ken Hauser needs to have his toupee adjusted because it is squeezing what is left of his brain. He is the worst. I hope all of the old fucks who voted for him instead of John Dineen wake up and smell the coffee. C mon guys get with it. We dumped our guy now the Lt's should dump theirs as well. Before it is too late
Vanecko is related to daley by virtue of the fact he is the son of Daley's sister. I believe under old man Daley's administration, Vanecko's father, a MD, was the head of Chgo board of health. Not sure of exact terminology of position.
what about our contract?this is getting to be bullshit,lets go to arbitration,how about it flop.
Why hasn't Anita Alvarez or Lisa Madigan investigated and indicted Vaneko and Davis and maybe a couple of Daley's. Both are piece of shit whores. Than God for Fitzgerald. Hopefully he will clean up the mess that Alvarez and Madigan swept under the rug to protect their accomplices.

What about all this Mr. Vanecko? "Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in"
Just read the sun times on the internet and it appears that Daley's nephew finally got the word to back away from the real estate firm.
Of course the mayor had nothing to do with this. He is not aware of anything that goes on in this city, just ask him. Same old, same old.

Cmon, Have you ever worked in a fucked up district. If you have, then you know that all that say or display that they are in a gang are not. "False Flags, Wannabe's". Until you have a picture of him doing more than that, it is not worth commenting on. No body said anything about the Swimmer, smoking weed, why say something about Rose, and it is not even confrimed that he smoked weed, although possible.
TERM LIMITS.
Lisa Madigan and Anita Alvarez couldn't find their own asses in an investigation, and would never rock the Machine, aka Daley Crime Family, anyway. This IS Crook county, remember?
IRS AUDIT of Walsh Construction Company.
When this first hit the papers I e-mailed and wrote letters to the members of the pension board telling them how crooked this looked. I also suggested that they include the following screening question in ALL future investment considerations:
"Are you or any of the principals in your company related by blood or marriage to any elected city, county or state official?"
An answer of "Yes" should disqualify that investment from consideration.
This is just damn ridiculous and so typically Chicago.

Fitzgerald is no doubt waiting for the supreme court to issue a ruling on the Conrad Black case. At least I hope that's the delay.

In other words, Robert Vanecko is a grandchild of Richard J Daley.
Robert M. Vanecko, MD, the father, married a daughter of Richard J Daley and is a cardiothoracic surgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Professor of Surgery, Northwestern Univ. Med. School.

Someone please ask how and why a bunch of the companies that handle our pension money donate to Trustee Stephanie Neely's campaign fund. She's next. Fo Schnizzle.

she is the city treasurer with another huge cpd valet detail! strangely the city clerk has no detail at all! Why does the treasurer,eddie burke still have large details? Just asking?
6/09/2009 09:38:00 PM
Because he wants them. He still acts like he is "one of us." He is usually seen at police funerals with a star case on a chain around his neck with his alderman's star in it, walking among the police as if in some perverted sympathetic gesture.
But get him in front of a piano and ask him to do his rendition of Danny Boy and he'll do his best Irish tenor imitation.
you forgot the BIGGEST INVESTMENT MISTAKE. J-FED
Alvarez & Madigan's only concern are for furthering their "careers" as far as they can. In Madigan's case, she clearly has her designs on the Governor's office. IMO if she were to be elected, she'd would make Blago look good, as improbable as that seems. Also, those 2 are nothing more than extended Daley puppets, so they're not going to touch Vanecko & Davis with a 10-foot pole. The silence about this matter from Madigan is very telling. I still have hope Fitzgerald will get to the heart of the corruption in this state, but with each passing day, that hope fades a little more.

all the alderthieves have badges,why good question! Burke 6 man police detail,$300,000 personal pod camera for his residence, the street parking where you cannot park near the king of crazy house!
The real question here is were these bad investments. All realestate investments have lost money lately but how have these done in comparison to other so called legitimate investments. If they are doing well by comparison I don't care who is related to who. DO YOU? Really what is more important are you getting the best return on your investment or is Daleys cousin involved.

Label: Corruption
Federal Judge notes city of Chicago is fraught with corruption.
09 June 2009.
Even though the U.S. Attorney's office requested a sentence of 16 months imprisonment, yesterday U.S. District Judge John Darrah sentenced former Chicago Bear running back #35, Roland Harper, to 1 year house arrest, 2 years of probation, a fine and community work, after Harper pled guilty to a felony charge of fraud.
Harper was charged with fraud for presenting himself as the owner of a minority-owned firm, in order to obtain contracts set-aside for minority contractors doing business with the city of Chicago, when, in fact, the firm was not minority-owned.
Judge Darrah cited Harper's extensive charity work and his cooperation with the government as reasons for the lighter sentence, despite noting the need to deter others in a city [Chicago] "that is just fraught with corruption."

What do you mean nobody said anything. He lost his endorsements, they were looking into stripping his medals, he was on the front page for weeks and they actually were looking into arresting him.
You know, some of your post sort of made sense and had some credibility until you "signed" it and showed what a fucking moron and liar you were. You don't have to make us think you're a veteran. It doesn't make you any cooler or make what you have to say more poignant. Don't insult those of us on the job who actually were in the service.
Lay off of him. He is a major PTSD case for what happened to him in that sand trap off the 5th hole. He almost drowned in the water hazzard off the 8th. About the 12th, bugs got so bad his caddy went U.A. (AWOL for you Army types). Shanking and Hooking shit left and right all the way to the 18th.
He's like Carl from "Caddyshack", but dumber.

Hey DUMBASS, That "Swimmer" lost out on a multi-million dollar endorsement and the County Sherriff was pursuing criminal charges against Phelps. It was all over the media. So, yes, we will say something about Rose: You want to act like a piece of shit gang-banger, don’t start cryin’ when you get treated like a piece of shit gang-banger.
When they do a federal audit of Kenny Construction I'll be impressed. and it's subsidiaries. hahahahaha
AFter this, next step should be looking at the financial advisors. Are they any good? Most of all , how many of the trustees took free trips and goodies and then handed over pension money to the advisors? This is what is costing the fund much more money than the nephew nonsense. These advisors put money into all the toxic assets that sank.
old retired guy
6/09/2009 07:18:00 PM
FYI: Lt. Maloney is the King of Free Trips at the Pension Board. Retiree "Dinner Bell" Hauser is the King of the Free Meal. There you have it.
Gee Vanecko resigns just before his uncle could give him the old post office.
Some days it's not even worth getting up.
Masters.
Whoever said handcrafted story co-written by Daley himself hit it on the head! It's bullshit. Like Kass said, all Daley had to say was no.
It amazes me, the little bubble they all live in and how they think we believe their lack of credibility.
Arrogance, pure and simple.
Now, this is gonna be interesting, to see who does what:

You better believe it's in the bag. If Burke can arrange for his wife to become judge by having people run against her only to pull out at the last minute, I'm sure the post office has already been bought and sold.

Asshole, EVERYONE had something to say about "the swimmer" are you serious? It was all over the media, news, sports radio. Where the fuck were you?
I just wonder how truthful this "Blue Ribbon" panel that has been appointed by our governor will be regarding the "category I" scam at the University of IL. How many recognizable names will be on that list that enabled 800 students to get in the U of I even though they were not qualified. Those 800 "merits" bumped your kid and mine.
Does anyone remember when Blago and Lisa Madigan were running for office? FOP was told, " get us elected and 80% pension is yours!" Donahue woke up next to Daley and the deal was nixed! No honor amongst thieves!

Daley's nephew is involved and that's why we're getting shit returns on our investment.
Yep, Derrick Rose fell on a knife. And if you believe that story you're a stone stupid asshole.
Andy Shaw LEFT because of the corruption. The last thing he want's to touch is this.
There will never be another Elliot Ness. Daley and Co have been unchecked and permitted to roam freely for decades. We're as bad as those goofs who elected Marion Barry again. I think we're worse.
Daleys relatives statement makes perfect sense as long as you realize the "government" is Daley. It's just like a piece of white trash that's got an entire shanty family feeding from the public trough to paint herself as a victim. Right, the world owes u a living. Is there a daley that actually knows how to do a real trade?

Burke is not irish. He's a yank of irish descent, so he say's. If he were irish, he'd be what my late ma would call a filty, teevin', tinker.

I never believed that story for a minute. Sounds so fucking stupid it's ridiculous. I think he got in a fight and Bulls management made the whole thing up. Who eats an apple in bed with a knife and then forgets the knife is there?
Unless. maybe, let's say ya just smoked a blunt or two.
Ok, it's making more sense to me now.
