Cars Lost? Not Lost?

Last week a bunch of people lost the take home cars that are costing the City hundreds of thousands, maybe a few million dollars. Now rumors are floating in that the truly favored didn't lose a thing. From the comments:
  • As promised the city/cpd took away a lot of take home cars, the criteria was those without call out responsibilities don't need a take home car. They are probably right in most cases BUT
    As predicted several still have there cars who probably shouldn't, for example.
    A K-9 sgt that lives south and travels everyday to O'Hare and sits in an office and runs the kennels, she doesn't have a dog, what call out responsibilities does she have?
    How do the Lt's at the academy lose their cars but a certain SGT at the academy who is the brother of a certain ADS, formerly commander of 18 still keep his? When is he going to be called out?
    Sure maybe I maybe whining but the department again shows if you know the right people the rules don't apply. I am sure there are other examples that can be presented...
We heard the various civilian directors lost cars. Commanders who don't have call out responsibilities like 35th Street Admin spots and Elton John fans. Commanding Officers of some of the smaller units, too, along with people who use confiscated cars as personal transportation. We certainly hope this is enough to put Shortshank's Olympic dreams over the top with a bit left over to grant everyone a nice raise.

Agreed some cars were taken, except for clouted ones with bullshit excuses that the upper exempt justified. There is a form to fill out if you can justify why you need the car to/from residence and for what period of time. Must be approved by exempt.

It must be nice to be connected to important people in this city. I'd be making 6 figures, have a take home car, be able to break all kinds of rules and laws with impunity.

But I'm not. I wasn't born to the right family, so I have to work hard for the pittance daley thinks I deserve, drive a 10 year old shit car, follow every rule and law knowing that if I make the smallest mistake I'll receive the full wrath of any number of bosses, attorneys and judges.

Thanks daley for making the rest of your city's workers feel worthless.

These are some of the reasons that this will never be a professional police department. Clout from city hall and clout from 35th St. as well as from the state, county and unions.

There are professionals on this job but there are individuals who truly conduct themselves in a professional manner.

Some loose this as they climb the ladder of clout.

MAYOR CLAIMS, HE HAS NOT RAISED PROPERTY TAXES. STRICTLY BS. MY HOUSE ASSEMENT JUST WENT UP $125.000 IN THIS BAD MARKET. WHO'S BS WHO? THIS MAYOR AND ALL INCUMBMENTS MUST BE REPLACED.

9/13/2009 06:20:00 PM


And my assessment just went down about $100K. But with the tax increases, it means I'll pay the same.

Where do you live? Gold Coast? Lincoln Park? The entire city was reassessed this year, and all assessments should have been reduced.

I'm not the original poster, but I did receive five property tax bills last week, and EACH of them went up. A vacant lot in Logan Square, two vacant lots in Humboldt Park and a condo and a house northwest. The lots, which you can barely GIVE away because no developer is building right now, increased forty to sixty percent.

The condo, up about twenty five percent. The house went up nearly forty percent.

These people have got to be certifiably insane. How is this even possible??!! My poor mother is having a panic attack at the thought she might not be able to pay such insane real estate taxes. The only way these numbers work is if you use the inflated realty prices of four or five years ago, which NO ONE would pay now.

And you've got to love that letter they sent, telling you how you've been reassessed, based on the downturn in the economy.

My inherited brick two flat in Andersonville was appraised about 5 yrs ago for $500K after a gut rehab.

5 months ago, it was appraised for a refinancing at $340K. Tax bill assesses it at $570K. Went to Ald. Schulters meeting w/Houlihan and the Cook County Assessors Office where the politicians were appalled at the tax rates and urged everyone who was unhappy to file an appeal. I did.

Two weeks later, I received a letter saying they had received my appeal and were reviewing it. About two days later, another letter came denying the appeal. What a SCAM!!!

I guess The Stuttering Prick can't have a contract with major kickbacks and cost overruns if they don't have the money to begin with!

Why does the Superintendent's staff have take home cars? His drivers and Sergeant better known as Commanding Officer? Why does the Chief of Staff have a take home car. WHY does he need to respond to any scene? Why does Asst. Supt. Cuello have a take home car. She is in charge of Administration right and so are her bosses. What, they have to run to the Districts when the computers go down or a car won't start? Why does every Lieutenant in Dep. Supt. Dugan's staff have a take home car. What scene are they responding too? Why do the Sergeants in IAD have take home cars. I can understand 1 per night to respond to an incident, but all of them? What about the Detective Division Liuetenants. We are supposed to watach OT right? So why would they respond to a scene off hours? Why does any Academy staff have a take home car?

I want a fucking contract and I want the city and the Superintendent to stop playing fucking games. You can pay a ridiculous amount of overtime for an entire Academy Staff to teach a Recruit class of 3 because our department's incompetent legal staff allowed the Superintendent to make a stupid move regarding 5 recruits now turned 3. That is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. You are now paying OT galore for some more BS and we don't have a fucking contract! You are paying BIS a ridiculous amount of overtime when the elite Gang Teams arrests are down what 7,000 from last year and they are making twice the money. WTF!

City hall's biggest pension doesn't go to a police superintendent, fire commissioner or even an alderman.

It's paid to a former steamroller operator named Dennis J. Gannon. But Gannon's city hall pension - $153,649 a year - isn't based on what he was paid as a steamroller operator and foreman for the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation.

It seems so funny how city hall has us fighting amoungst each other. Now we are policing and ratting on those who have cars and those who don't. Things have gotten so bad that police officers are now arresting, citing and fighting police officers. Let me explain how this job was when I got on it. We took care of each other because civilians never understood us. We gave courtesy passes to fellow P.O.s. We did not rat on each other and we were cohesive. We have let city hall and the media divide us. Folks I wont be around much longer. Its time we all grew some cojones and start taking care of our own. No one else is going to do it.

There are rumors that this ignorant blockhead has put in the paperwork necessary to seek the position of Superintendent of the CPD.

#1. This asshole is OVER THE AGE LIMIT allowed for ANY member of the CPD, regardless of rank.

#2. This department doesn't need another "me and my boys first, everyone else can go FUCK OFF!" mentality. More than a large fair share of coppers on this job have had to endure his relentless "old boy" network of career and movement bricking and general fucking over because they weren't the "chosen" boys of his famous dipshit military fan club.

This guy's a fucking idiot with about as much smarts as a block of wood, mostly thanks to his playing gorok football without a helmet because he was the dope everyone laughed at in school.

Putting that dumbshit in charge of the CPD ain't gonna bring back the moral of anyone except his little band of princess pets and the "this is MY guy" promotee lists of his dipshit buddies.

The Sgt. from the K-9 training center was told to give up her take home car last week, she now has to coe into Homan Square every morning or drive her own car to work, she didn't need a take home car, the MSF LTs also lost their cars all 4 of them. I hear the Sgts over at TRU take their cars home, I'm just saying why? they don't get called out. I can see the SWAT guys and any people that do get called out, Some have had cars for many years, like specialized unit dollies that cuddle up next to the boss, but let's let them have the caRS, ONLY CHARGE THEM FOR THE MILES AND GAS.

Beware, these new parking pay boxes rip you off for a couple of minutes time from the correct time.

I noticed it today, which was the fist time I used one, when I paid for 15 minutes and was issued a dashboard ticket that expired in 13 minutes. I thought I maybe my watch was off then tonight, Ch. 5 had s story on this exact topic.

it turns out that per Ch. 5 these machines are not on the same time with each other of the real world. The best part was that the hack, Avis Lavell, who is the mouth piece for LAZ parking, denied any errors period.

Mayor dick? fuck you!! and the 50 thieves too!

what the fuck is this, i know alot of coppers are fucking handicapped in their heards but to use someone elses placard to park in front of the lot at hq is somewhat disgusting.

you lazy fucking do nothings at hq you should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you mutts.

I am no fan of EB, but he has enough shit on his belt for you not to make up some shit. He is not under any type of investigation. We did an excellent job reviewing his file BEFORE he was promoted. All civil cases were dismissed. We found no more in his than we did any other working police officer. All of his CR#'s were closed. Same reference as above. He is actually exremely intelligent. He just lets his little head get in teh way. He would run circles around ALL of the Exempts except maybe 5. We saw their files too! If he has happened to pass through one of your femail companions in his process, then hey, chit happens! Don't fight it out here. I like reading facts not personal bullshit!

He has been called out at all times of night to different parts of the city. He also was shot in the line of duty many years ago. He could of took disability but refused.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To this poster: I don't work at HQ, but I hate people who violate handicapped parking. I have a handicapped buddy, and I know how valuable those spaces are. Here is a thought: If you see someone get out of a car which is parked in a handicapped spot, you being a police officer have the right, or I might add, DUTY to ask them to prove up. If they really need the spot, they will be happy that you are watching out for them. If not, you can write a ticket, or at the least, make them move. I do it and you would not believe how many are using someone's placard. Usually a relative's

At any rate fucking do something besides complain here.

Ruthie not only not taking a hit for the Elton John/Billy Joel fiasco, also NOT losing her car! What does she need a take home car for? You'd think she'd be the first one to lose her car after what she did. Of course the other question is, what does the training academy need a Commander for when it already has an ADS? Ruthie did not wait all this time to make commander and then not get a car.

9/14/2009 08:07:00 PM

A complete waste of a exempt rank. A commander at the academy is absolutely useless. Maybe that is why she was assigned to the academy in a backdoor promotion. She has no responsibility at the academy just her personal staff. Now she is a vacation, hidden from the public until everyone forgets about Ruthie.

Are you psychic? My best friend has MS and a handicap placard. While he may look 'normal' to you as he walks into a building, he is not. His legs can give out at any time, especially the farther he walks. His arm can twitch uncontrollably without warning. But he goes to work every day and isn't milking the medical.

My mother has a heart condition and isn't supposed to walk great distances. Her shortness of breath increases the farther she has to walk. She, too, has a placard, and to you she might appear to be waltzing into a building. Until she collapes, that is.

It takes a doctor's certification to to get the placard. Never presume you know what's really going on, because the minute you think you do, you've proven you know nothing.
