What Did They Tell Him?
Sixteen hours before he was found dead, city School Board President Michael W. Scott got a Sunday-morning call from a top aide to Mayor Daley to schedule a meeting about questionable expenses that Scott and his staff had charged to board credit cards.
Scott had a 13-minute conversation with mayoral press secretary Jacquelyn Heard starting at 11:01 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times about Scott's suicide.
So Heard was tipping him off? Heard was doing damage control? Heard was delivering the bad news that Scott had a ticket to the #42 Mayoral Express and he better be under it, so the mayor could giggle like he does and say, "I didn't know nothing about no credit cards"?
How many other calls did Heard make like this? And if it was at the behest of the mayor, that would explain why Shortshanks looked so shell shocked for a week afterward.

Now what if I warned a drug dealer his house was going to get raided , would I've been in trouble ? Did Heard get in trouble ? Probably not .
Ever see the 1996 movie City Hall with Al Pacino and John Cusack?
Like this?

When will Jackie Heard be subpoenaed to the Grand Jury?
How much more of this blatant, flagrant corruption will we be subjected to?
How corrupt has the FBI and the US Attorneys Office become?
Where is the JUSTICE in the Department of Justice?
Is this why it was so very important to get the Chicago Boy in the White House?
I have lost all faith in the USA!
Anyone notice the complete SILENCE from the Reverends and the African American community?
Who got payed to quell the ignorant masses?
The power brokers play games with people's lives like they were tossing out the garbage.
The City of Chicago's government is a sick, corrupt and malignant beast with no soul.
Jesse and the Reverends wanted their worthless Olympic property money back.
now Daley's asking "why are you digging this up? No I really mean it. No, really"
what a fucking goof ... if this guy killed himself because he was going down don't you think ... ??? it's "newsworthy" King RIchie???
Its okay when the papers make innuendo's and half-truths about the police in life or death situations, but when the papers make them about the midget's staff, he cries foul...what a two-faced, lying, ego-maniacal, pig headed, two-faced piece of SHIT. Did I mention that he is also two-faced ???
She probably relayed the message that it was his turn to get tossed under the bus by shortshanks.
It's amazing how people in shorty's gang are left to take all the heat and serve jail time. Daley just stands there with a stupid grin and says he knows nothing when questioned by the press. I'd really like to know what they told Scott to drive him over the edge, or in shorty's words "toss him over the mountain".
Will daley ever be held accountable for his part in all the scandal that has rocked the city, as well as crimes yet to be revealed ???
"It'll be better for your family if you just check out".
or
"Meet us.....we gotta discuss this thing".
You can see Shortshanks trying to cover his tracks. Whenever he gets defensive and attacks the media, you know they hit him where it hurts.
DALEY = THE KISS OF DEATH
At least it was a straight up clean suicide. Not another fucking "aspirin overdose", HA!
"If you could predict why someone committed suicide, you'd be the greatest psychiatrist in the world. It had nothing to do with Michael's death, suicide."
Let's break down this great mayoral quote. A psychic is what makes predictions, Mister Law Degree. A psychiatrist is what you need to see, Mayor Moron.
And a good federal investigation is what put pieces of the puzzle together. (why can't that happen in chicago?)
More importantly, notice how he corrected himself after he said Michael's death, er, I mean, suicide...
You gotta love him - he claims that no one can know what motivates someone to take his own life, but is qualified to make the assessment that it certainly wasn't the phone call. Knowing you are about to be sacrificed to save Da Mayor any embarrassment couldn't have possibly sent someone over the edge!
King Ritchie is smoking hot over the Sun Times article. You know the saying "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen"? Maybe it's approaching time for Ritchie to bow out.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense would speculate that the phone call Michael Scott received from Jackie Heard would be relevant to the investigation of his suicide. For Ritchie to dispute that simply proves that he's irrational and delusional.
Citizens should demand the credit card statements be made available. All this talk of leaks, phone calls and meetings is bullshit. When someone discovers something, from that point forward everyone involved knows whats coming. It's the fear of it becoming public that scares the shit out of them.
The Board of Ed has been there for the taking since the sixties on the blue collar side. This just proves that the corruption is from the top down as well. Still, these must have been some pretty staggering abuses if he offed himself.

It'll be better for your family if you just check out".
I watched this movie shortly after Michaels "suicide" and thought the same thing. They were afraid that he might "sing"
"Now what if I warned a drug dealer his house was going to get raided , would I've been in trouble ? Did Heard get in trouble ? Probably not."
Thats right!!... and IKE's phony crony bullshit police board fired a girl (with time on the job and no disciplinary history) for giving her card to an informant in the ghetto. He called her and she calls back etc...boom she's stripped and fired like nobody's business. This city is shit. I hope she won her appeal, anybody can see that a whack job runs this dept.
While I am a big fan of Novak and Fusco, the SunTimes article is ridiculous. There is no connecting of dots in their article. Is the agenda here is to create dots to connect?
Fact #1 --- There is NO WAY Michael Scott killed himself.
Fact #2 --- Since when are expense report-related violations a motivating factor for someone to take their own life?
Fact #3 --- Scott was born-and-raised in North Lawndale and continued to live there for a number of years. He was a real dude, and a smooth dude.
Fact #4 --- The CPS President is the de facto business administrator that ultimately is responsible for signing-off the awarding of lucrative construction, property management and other vendor-related contracts. Ever since Daley took over CPS - its become a contract, patronage and money-making machine for Daley supporters.
The CPS annual operating budget is ENORMOUS and the CPS capital budgets are into the billions. Perhaps, FBI Raid of Krahl Construction is related to CPS and other public works? Lastly, city hall's 5th floor "plays-the-heavy" all the time related to CPS contracts, awards and other business decisions. I wonder how Mt. Carmel ended-up acquiring CPS property for next to nothing? I wouldn't be surprised if there was intense lobbying from City Hall for this deal --- one small example.
Fact #5 --- This is a classless technique being used to "tar-up" a dead man. Jacquelyn "I rent to drug dealers" Heard is simply attempting to re-frame the public conversation re: Michael Scott, and Novack and Fusco bought-it?
Lastly, I suppose John Ruff of Roland Burris 2009 saga, died in a one-person care accident in the middle of suburban nowhere.
Gimme-a-break --- Ruff had the "goods" on Burris & Company relating to some sketchy and unsavory stuff. Why do you suppose the initial brew-ha in D.C. related to Burris appointment - because of Blago? No way. Burris was involved in sketchy cover-ups while he was Attorney General.
Can I get Jacquelyn Heard to have a 13-minute conversation with my ex-wife?
Richard Milhouse Daley is clinicly
insane.
Maybe Scott and Teddy Kennedy were part of one of Obama's "Shovel Ready" projects.
We are all SO SO SCREWED, we have no contract, and are going to get NO money, all the police unions know that alreaDY BUT DON'T WANT US TO KNOW, YOUR HOUSES HAVE NO VALUE, BUT YET WE GO OUT EVERYDAY and work because we are professionals, the young kids have to make Dope Arrests to pay the bills,Daley knows he is screwed, I say don't go to vote on TUESDAY, they are all THIEFS, they just took another 5 percent of your money for increased tax bill, saying that you will only pay 45 percent in the fall, yes but 45 percent of what, just wait for that tax bill. all of the police unions are bogus, but I bet they all are living good, Daley knows he is finished and someone will give him up, wait for JOHN HARRIS to start talking. God Bless you all.
And, when you read that a mayor of a major city ( Baltimore), was indicted and forced to resign for misusing a $500 gift certificate, you have got to wonder what goes on in Illinois? Madigan and his minions have passed laws that do nothing but protect themselves and award themselves with pensions and contracts/legal business/insurance etc. We will see if the voters turn out this election to run some of these connected political aristocracy out of office. I did not vote for Kevin Joyce. I don't care how nice a guy he is and how much he does for anyone. He is just perpetuating the political dynesty . We need new people, new blood with no ties to the machine.

Of course not and she makes $187,000 per year which boys and girls is pensionable at 80% plus car and driver! As long as she keeps her mouth shut this will continue! What did she tell scott? Most likely that he would be like sorich and the rest that fell on their swords for the head of all sin the daley crime cabal!

Don't forget jackie heard was a tribune reporter before being daleys girl!
I love how upset Daley got. Finally, good reporting that the likes of Royko would be proud of and Daley flips out. My experience is that when someone gets that defensive and upset, someone is hitting close to home. Someday someone will write a book about Daley and the title will be BIG CITY GODFATHER.
It is like a novel already. Couple guys get caught by the G but they won't flip, Two more commit suicide instead of talking to G. Judges, Politicians and City department heads in their hip pocket, including the police. Sweet heart deals with construction companies, etc. It should be a new HBO show.
Instead of being diplomatic (something Daley doesn't have a clue about) he's defensive and sputters and blames the reporters for asking such questions. This guy is a a deplorable clown and has got to go.
Why aren't the feds aren't investigating Daley for his corrupt dealings over the years?? Is he paying them off too???
42 Extra Short is responsible in the long run. No wonder he was crying like the bitch he is. Way to go Shortshanks.
'Richie Rich' Daley should win an academy award for his answers to the media and pretending not to know anything......The investigation of Michael Scott is just the tip of the iceberg....what about CPS employees constantly on their personnel cell phones during business hours when they have CPS phones available to them...Didn't Gov. Quinn get lampooned for this?
Are things that important that CPS employees can't walk a few steps and use the CPS phones or are they running their own side businesses?
Note to Commander Lopez of Grand/Central:
- Keep an eye on the shop classes at Prosser and what is going in and coming out of the building, especially the auto shop classes or should I say Prosser's Jiffy Lube for staff members. Why does one auto shop teacher have a BOAT in his room?
Why are there two brand new vehicles with price stickers on them sitting in the auto shops without them being used for class purposes?
- Hint, hint..(A.P.)....Have the Prosser phones/computer records checked of the Prosser administrators to see is someone is running their insurance company on school time.
- Check the Prosser school parking lots for stolen vehicles, vehicles with outstanding tickets, some with no state or city tags, and some without any insurance.
- Check the Prosser security guards for recent arrests not reported and check each of their cells for students' phine numbers. And, check all Prosser employees for befriending Prosser students on facebook and MySpace.
WHAT MORE DOES THE FBI NEED TO BRING DALEY DOWN???
They told him he had to resign or be fired!
"How corrupt has the FBI and the US Attorneys Office become?
Where is the JUSTICE in the Department of Justice?"
Notice how all the corruption indictments stopped when Holder got to be AG? He has to sign off on them or Fitz can't go forward.
Keep voting Donk
The FBI headquarters should move to Chicago. Then all the agents working the corruption in this state, county, and city could walk to work. There is about 20 years left of work to be done here.
Imagine, another Daley appointee, a common thief.
Collateral damage!
But...what does Diana know?
Well they did the same thing with 3rd in Command Assistant Superintendent Beatrice Cuello, the District called and informed her. Her daughter who was in the house before and during the raid and who she claims she rented the house to only name is no where on any paperwork. Is that legal? Did the Problem Buildings Unit that SHE (Cuello) use to run do any type of investigation? Was she allowed to go on like nothing happened? Was she on every single news station? Did Jfed send out a message saying he was pissed the police leaked the story of his girl to the media? WTF!!! Mayor Daley, I know you got that email! Was the message sent to the whole world that if you are in Superintendent Jodi Weis' pocket who is in the Mayor's pocket, all is good? Was she sanctioned? Was anything done to her or the police hwo contacted her? NO!!! Was her daughter even cited!!! NO!!!
Was Chief Michael Mc Cotter or Commander Frank Gross ever sanctioned for overseeing a group of police officers violating a young man's rights? NO!!!! Its on YOUTUBE so can the department say they are not aware? I bet they only get a "reprimand" if anything.
Where is Commander Ruth Wedster? Still hiding out!!! Did she give the tickets to people above her like Cuello and Brust? I want to know! Was Cozi given that same support? Hell NO Hell NO!!!! He is rotting in jail!
He has a family media!!!! He has a family!
Michael Scott, Danny Davis, Arne Duncan and Rickey Hendon caught in a backroom meeting at Edna's on Madison Street. Very, very interesting video:

the only reason the government hasnt gotten daley yet is because he is there number #1 informant. how else can you explain it.
IT'S AMAZING THAT THE DUMB-ASSED FEDS STILL CAN'T GET DALEY, THEY ARE TRULY STUPID, OR ON THE TAKE TOO.
Who else in daley inc. is going to end up biting a bullet after finding out king shorty gave them up to the G?
These care some of the most greedy, egotistical, crazy & twisted as a dog log muthafuckahs to steal oxygen!
None of these fools has fed immunity other than shorty...
All the rest of them are falling all over each other trying to cut deals to save their own worthless, stinking hides.
We imagine the sit-down with the G goes like this... "Can we work somethin' out? I know such and such...."
Feds: "We already knew that you knew such and such. If you have nothing better to offer, then there ain't shit to work out. STFU and prepare for your indictment and trial."
Jackie Heard is 42 extra-short's soft, pink underbelly. The Feds should be in her ass like cheap tissue because of her role as gate keeper...
The REAL UGLY shit is who ends up wearing the shit-shirt for all those west side rev'runs and their associates left holding the bag after snatching up all of that now worthless real estate around Douglas Park where some of the proposed Olympic venues were going to be.
Nobody is saying shit about that and we would bet good money that's part of the real reason why Scott self terminated.
The dust-up about the school board credit cards smells like a classic shortshanks media misdirection.
HMMMM?
Reason enough for shorty to hate the Police?
We see through bullshit & distractors fairly well so he gains from keeping us marginalized, demonized and powerless.
A sin and shame most citizens are so weak-minded and lacking in discernment to REALLY see what's going on.
The only thing they see is the "Bash The Police Band Wagon" that shortshanks rolls out (courtesy of some coppers not ceasing doing dumb shit & the local anal slut media) every time shit gets too hot for him and he needs cover and a distraction/diversion.
Read this, read it again, and then forward to a friend who lives in Illinois.

We would like all the stakeholders of Illinois to recognize how close the state is to bankruptcy or insolvency," says Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a fiscal watchdog in Chicago.
Legal experts say the protections of the federal bankruptcy code are available to cities and counties but not states.
While Illinois doesn't have the option of shutting its doors or shedding debts in a bankruptcy reorganization, it seems powerless to avert the practical equivalent. Despite a budget shortfall estimated to be as high as $5.7 billion, state officials haven't shown the political will to either raise taxes or cut spending sufficiently to close the gap.
In addition to its day-to-day budget, Illinois faces rising pension expenses in coming years. Lawmakers have skimped on required contributions to employee pension funds and even borrowed to make those smaller payments. Unfunded liabilities and pension debt are projected to reach $95 billion by June 30.
The sharp rise in pension payments is the biggest factor pushing Illinois toward what a legislative task force last November called "a 'tipping point' beyond which it will be impossible to reverse the fiscal slide into bankruptcy.
While the Illinois Constitution protects vested pension benefits, that promise, like all the state's obligations, is only as good as its ability to pay…If the state is found to be insolvent under the classical cash-flow definition of insolvency, which is 'the inability to pay debts as they come due,' it is not only the pension rights of non-vested employees that will be in jeopardy. All the obligations of the state, whether vested or not, will be competing for funding with the other essential responsibilities of state government. Even vested pension rights are jeopardized when a government is insolvent.
Why the hell would Weis be quoted as saying there was no relation between Heards call to Scott and his suicide 16 hours later? How would HE know? Has he ever investigated anything except maybe why his forehead is so fucked up looking? Just when I think he can't possibly sound or act any more clueless, he surprises me.
Silence in the black community? Most of the incumbents running for office had to hunt all over the city just to get signatures on their petitions to run for office again.
Doc walls, whose petitions were challenged by Quinn, did not collect enough signatures and was knocked off the ballot.
Most of the crooks in office will be gone, if not this election, soon.
You must be "blind or staggering" to think the African American community likes these thieving, lying, ego-maniacs.
How did property taxes double if the value of everyone's property is going down because of foreclosures and the resulting rise in crime and criminals and scam artists that foreclosures bring?
What was really amazing was that Scott acknowledged the $3000 charge for his own little trip to the Olympics showdown and used a company credit card to charge it. Then, reports have it that he was in the process of making payments to cover the charge when they found out! Payments on $3K? Shortpockets Scott? Come on now, powerhouse like him ain't got 3K in his checking account? Wonder why Daley's always upset when the media stirs up this story? Dum, dum dum dum, DUM! We need Joe Friday!
HE GONE........................
Here is what Michael Scott was told:
Back in the days of the Romans when conspiitors moved against King and failed their leaders were given a choice, their familys would be taken care of and not be harmed if the conspritor "did the right thing". So I think Scott was told by a consigliori of the godfodder to do the right thing.
Is this why it was so very important to get the Chicago Boy in the White House?
I have lost all faith in the USA!
you sound like michelle obama
Question: Where is Daley's son right now?
Answer: Russia
Question: Who is about to buy the City's Water Dept.
Answer: A Russian Company
Conclusion: You will have to pay the Daley's to drink water after he is no longer mayor...if he decides to sell it to you. Don't piss him off!
That backroom deal You Tube video was classic!!!!!
This is exactly the same sh*t that happens in the mob.

And that's just ONE school in Chicago. This has been going on for years. And what is so amazing is that this shit is COMMON KNOWLEDGE to anyone within the CPS. Why reporters aren't all over this is beyond me. They could have stories for months. I certainly have a few.
How many CPS employees ordered riding lawnmowers for their lake houses? How about all the sewing machines that came in the front door and went right out the back door? All the food that was distributed to employees rather than students? Anyone ever question the purchase orders? Ford Explorers---what were they for? That was all the way back in the 1980's. And that was the dago's (I can say that). From the above post, looks like the African Americans are takin' it to a whole nuther level.
The media in this town is either incredibly lazy or bought and paid for. It's right out there and it's been there. I mean, Jesus.

Why did you say they were having a secret meeting? They are all old friends are political supporters of each other. They were not sneaking. That was Mark and Paul, both criminals, doing what they do, trying to get a rise out of anyone trying to do some good. Neither of those politicians mentioned have ever been convicted of any crime. Anyone can make an allegation against us also. They can say you took $20,000 during a traffic stop. Does that make you guilty? Then you and I could meet up at Bourbon street for a drink. Does that mean I am associated with you or any of your possible wrong doings? Come on, give me a break. Give an intelligent comment!!!
Ha! The phony revs. tried to put up a smokescreen by claiming it HAD to be murder.
It's always just a matter of time when the truth comes out
I love the article in the Sunday Sun-Times about how Daley is "appalled" that they would write something like this. He's all pissed off because the article makes it sound like that 13 minute phone call was responsible for Scott's death.
Yet the daily rags can write articles with headlines such as: OFF DUTY C.P.D. SGT INVOLVED IN FATAL ACCIDENT. I remember reading that one. You had to get halfway through the article before you find out that the other driver was at fault. Did ShortShanks complain about THAT misleading article?
