Interesting Timeline

A reader of ours went through public sources, media reports and spend quite a bit of time putting this together. He even revamped it once or twice to accommodate our limited ability to post it in a readable format, so for this we thank him. Check this out:


He just covers the basics, but we're sure our readers can come up with dozens more instances of Shortshanks spending untold millions after pleading poverty. We certainly hope FOP and the arbitrator get copies of this. It sums up the Daley mismanagement nicely.

it looks like they left out the money paid to the goofs to walk the kids to school, the money paid to move a business, and I know that I am missing something else, but it's late and I'm tired.

I'm sure the FOP is well aware of it. They have an easy job. Pretend to care, then let the arbiter handle it.

Lets not forget the millions of $$$ spent to keep United Airlines here and paying to move them into Sears Tower, and then the millions approved to Willis to rehab parts of the tower.

No wonder daley and burke need large bodyguard details. They are no fools, they know people would skin them alive if they were not well protected from the citizen/taxpayers/voters they continue to abuse and rob.

OT - Sun Times

SCANDAL'S ARE DALEY'S, NOT OURS: Aldermen
CITY HALL | His call for watchdog to be able to probe them hits a nerve

February 15, 2010
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter

Mayor Daley changed the subject and played to an angry electorate when he proposed that Chicago's corruption-fighting inspector general be empowered to investigate aldermen.

But he also touched a raw nerve among City Council members with his audacity.

Don't forget all the stimulus money given. You can find it on the city of chicago web site. He revamped the web site so. It's not as easy to find all the spending.

We spent money on repaving chicago ave, rehabbing the projects, squad car camera, and so on.

And don't forget all the extra traffic control and ticket writers the city hired instead of police to save money.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened regardless. Can you imagine? I'd be protesting outside the courthouse THANKING the guy that started making these people pay for their dishonesty and downright robbery of the citizenry! I wonder if a Crook County Jury would acquit the guy?

One of the entries states that the city was underpaid $1 billion for the parking meter deal, according to the inspector general. That is absolutely not true. I have an MBA in finance and I will debate this with anyone. It was more like $4 billion. Use the formula, "Net Present Value of Future Cash Flow" to determine the price. Google this formula, do the math yourself, it is simple.

I have seen the same thing. Unfortunately, you have to "remind" people what actually makes sense. Society has turned into a cesspool with rights and rules for those who have not earned them and people who work for a living are forced to explain the inequities and demand what they deserve and have worked for.

A few years ago, Christ had my father on a gurnee in a hallway. When I got to the hospital, my mom and I looked around and the place was packed with drunks, people with headaches and runny noses. There were gangbangers all over the place. People sitting around eating and partying. Security is afraid to confront anyone. Some kid had gotten shot and I kid you not, I counted seventeen "family" people come in and be accomodated all because of nonsense and drama. After about two hours, I grabbed a doctor and told him that my father has insurance, he's in pain and here for a legitimate reason, now get him the fuck into a room now. A minute later, two nurses came and told me they finally found an ER room for him.

It's absolutely ridiculous.
