It's All Legit!
Seriously! We swear! All legit from this point forward we mean:
- The City Council today overwhelmingly approved an ordinance barring aldermen from using a stealth payroll account to hire relatives — after a committee earlier altered the measure to grandfather existing employees.
Under the measure, aldermen would no longer be able to hire relatives, as several have done, but those already paid from the stealth account could continue to work for their aldermen relatives.
“We are not trying to throw anyone out of a job or prohibit those people from continuing to work, but this would apply only to new hires,” Allen said. “So, the current hires would be grandfathered.”
Well thank goodness the aldercreatures didn't have to put all those wives, cousins, nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters and others in the unemployment line during these trying times.

One of the employees with political baggage was a former full-time city worker ousted over sexual harassment allegations who had been placed on a city do-not-hire list.
Was this employee terminated PO Michael Allegretti who was later hired as a supervisor for Parking Enforcement?
Aldermen Tom Allen, Bernie Stone, and Ed Burke reformers?
Allen, Stone, Burke: numerous obnoxious clout hires between the three of them. Many are in positions of power, or faux boss positions that subdivide city crews into the halves and have nots.
While I'm glad to be working during the recession, I can't help thinking how much better the job would be without these egotistical assholes who think they are God's gift to the world.
So all the people who created the problem voted to eliminate the problem because they already have their ghost workers, I mean family working. In other words we got ours but you don't get none.
As I have been saying...
I'TS ALL LEGIT!!!
OT watch Greece. More riots to come.
Greek civial servants strike over their pensionable age increasing to 63.
Thirty years from now Da Mayo Clan will have millions to live on. The next sap Mayor will have to dig through garbage cans to get hundreds to pass on to his family. Bottom line is Da Mayo SUCKS! I am sorry I ever helped or voted for this POS.
Don't forget play cousins.
"It's All Legit!" Like the numbers quoted for how many sworn officers we have on our payroll and into our pension fund.
How many ghost payrollers could the Daley Crime Family place on the CPD that never served a day as a police officer?
This Stealth Payroll Account may have been closed, but as the old saying goes, "When God closes one door, he opens another." And you know Richie thinks he's god.
You hire my guy, and ill hire your guy, problem solved
I wish Allen would move one of his gems to his payroll, that way I wouldn't get stuck with the goof.
Any alderman will put his/her colleague's relatives on their respective payrolls to get around this wording in the ordinance!
So they will just hire each others relatives, just like the summer intern hiring in the past.

Aunt Bea is Pissed! She dropped a few F-bombs about the "leak" in her office where someone wrote on SSC about her desire to become Superintendent. She said she will conduct her own internal investigation.
Nobody has anything to worry about if she is doing the investigation.
Aunt Bea is making a huge push getting her ducks in a row so when J-Fed is gone she can stroll right in.
Well, it's a start, I guess. As long as the alderfarts can hire each other's relatives, NO CHANGE.
We get the government we deserve.
The real question here, is not the use of a small number of temporary hires, but their status as city employees. These hires by the alderman should be considered "contract employees" and should be issued a 1099 at the end of the year. The employee should be responsible for paying all taxes and should not receive benefits. This is not happening in this situation. The city is paying the employer share of taxes and benefits which makes them regular city employees and a violation of Shakman decree. A clever way to get around the law. Then begs the question, "What do these employees really do"? Don't worry, Sorich gets out of jail in a month or two. I am sure the machine will find him a good job, probably at McPier. I wonder if they suspended his law license and revokved his pension?
Bottom line is Da Mayo SUCKS! I am sorry I ever helped or voted for this POS.

That's the problem. Saps like you thought you could get a few more table scraps from a corrupt asshole and, as corrupt assholes are wont to do, he stuck it in your ass.
Instead of doing the right thing and working for yourself, you kissed an ass and got shit on by being so close to the asshole.
I'm quite confident that you'll continue to work for the Democratic Machine. Some other asshat will sell you a line of bullshit that you'll fall for thinking you can have that sweet deal that others don't get all for yourself.
Dis is Da Mayor talkin. I ain't talked at yuze in a while on accounta I bin upset over dis Lympics ting going sout on me. Now all deez peoplz I told what ta buy where da Lypmics wuz gonna go got pissed.
Dats why I reached out to Michael, only I didn't figger he would do his self like dat. I guess it's better dat he did his self on accounta we woulda had ta do it for him if he didn't.
Now as fer dis reform here, I gotta say dat it's a good idea. Deez people are startin ta catch on tuh our rackets. We gotta look like we got a grip on dis and dat it ain't a free fer all stealin like we bin doin.
I got my boy Jodi feedin me da inside scoop on what dem feds are up to so we got dat end covered real good. Ike coulda been a problem, but like I said, we gotta fed of our own runnin around fer us.
OK, I gotta go now and pick up some envelopes. I'll talk at yuze soon.
OT; The Irish and Greeks have alot of political power in Cook county and Illinois. Both the county and state are in big trouble because of corruption and poor management. Now we see Ireland and Greece like welfare mutts are begging the European Union for bailout money because their countries are going bankrupt. Intresting.
VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT. Put a morron in office, when he/she makes a mistake, you know it was an honest one.
Don't think BC has a shot
Stealth acount?? Stealth account?? I know they had their "Discretionary fund" but now they also have a stealth account? WTF? Don't worry we'll take more furlough days to pad your accounts...what a bunch of crooks...
now if we could just start working on merit promotion
kinda like closing the barn door AFTER all the horses have run out. these entrenched aldermen have done their ''dirty work'' long ago. they will all trot out this reform bullshit come election time.
How many were hired two days ago BEFORE the ordinance was passed?

The GOSSIP we have heard is that she wants to retire ASAP. The job is a real pain in the neck for her.
The latter may very well be correct as anyone who is really the police probably can't stand J-Fed, can't stand to be in a room with him, grinds their teeth when they have to listen to him and reach for the anti-acids as soon as they leave a meeting.
The Sopranos was a tv show we have it live with the 50 thieves+the daley madigan cabal! How many no work no show jobs you want? youze take care of my guy i give your guy a job capish?
Just read in the Tribune that CPD officer Gerald Callahan received 2 years probation for beating two patrons at a Niles restaurant 2 years ago. This guy makes Abbate look like a "choir boy."
I'm not defending Abbate. But because his attack was caught on tape they threw the book at him.
Callahan on the other hand had multiple suspensions for beating up bartenders and bar patrons, and for threatening co-workers (fellow officers.) Cline tried to fire him, but the Police Board reinstated him. Plus numerous lawsuits and pay outs by the city for this guy.
Who is his clout?
If there is a piece-of-shit that deserves prison, it is this guy..NOT COZZI!
speaking of people on the city payroll,,, to TOM BYRNE of S&S--I still haven't seen a plow on my street and it is pretty much impassible without AWD. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!!

Daley orders police management review to put more officers on street
http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2010/02/daley-orders-more-cost-cutting-at-city-hall.html
Hot off the presses! Daley wants the "Fashion Police" back on the street! Does that mean "Secret Agent Body Guards" for "himself" and the other phony, "Leprechaun Burke?" We shall see because this is just what we have been waiting for! Drivers for all these other phonies on the CPD, CFD, and City Hall! Let's see who has the most clout!
Just cross check the 11th ward with city jobs! Must be 100 million dollars in that ward alone in salaries! The news media is so lazy they would rather chase people parking around sports arenas rather than get a juicy story! Daley has them all scared! Don't ever question him about Scott again! "He's was like family, don't ya know!"
.....who had been placed on a city do-not-hire list.
2/11/2010 12:12:00 AM
how do you qualify for a city do-not-hire list?
Mayor Daley orders police budget review
That bombshell came as he ordered cuts in other departments to save $11 million
Mayor Daley today ordered a “comprehensive management review” of the Chicago Police Department to make certain “every dollar possible” of its $1.2 billion-a-year budget is spent fighting crime.

Fire everyone above Sgt.Then fire some more. Then nuke the S. and W. side.
We don't want nobody that nobody sent.
Well butter my ass and call me a biscuit--some heavy shit must be coming for them to do that. Hmmm.
Yep its all legit. Just ask Ray H. and Mike Masters. We have a civilain Chief of staff with no police experience who is a wnnabe cop calling the shots. Then we have Ray H who don't forget has been dumped from several units and is currently makinh Lt's pay as a legal officerbut not doing any work for it. It must be nice to live in their world. We know the truth and we won't forget.
Yea...I'd like to see who & how many were hired in last couple weeks????? Now they are grandfathered!!
You do not question when your ruler speaks.
You simply do what he says.
All hail Daley!
You survive only but for the gifts of his hand.
Serve you ruler and those he appoints to rule you.
Hail Weis!
He is but your ruler by proxy. And others with gold upon their chests are by proxy him.
Serve your proxy rulers and obey their commands!
I have often wondered why, when people are forced to take furlough days and there is a huge budget deficit, that Ald. Ed Burke is allowed to keep his 24/7 security detail at a cost of over $1,000,000 per year ?
Also note that when you try to go to his Finance committee office, he is the only one with a full time uniformed police officer guarding the doorway.
He is a Chicago Police officer (on leave), that still carries two weapons on his person (belt holster behind his back and leg holster around his ankles)and his Chicago Police Department badge on his belt clip.
Furthermore, he leases, at City expense, a Chevy Blazer (for trips to the country home) although his security detail drives him around the City (he shops at the Dominick's on Canal Street and it is embarrassing to see the plainclothes officers carrying his groceries).
He is allowed to keep these deals going because of a devils deal he has with the Mayor. They hate each other but need each other as a heat shield. Furthermore he knows that because of his racist past with Harold Washington he can never be elected to anything beyond his own ward.
So letting him keep the finance committee and allowing him to feel like he is the "jr. mayor" with these perks is a consolation prize and is a way to buy off him causing trouble for the administration.
Interested parties should really look into a political fund he controls called the Burnham Committee of which he is the Chairman and has nearly $1,000,000 cash on hand.
The purpose of the fund is "to support the women and men who share (Daniel)Burnham's dream of a "people's city"."
The reality is that it is another fundraising arm to augment is own campaign fund "Friends of Ed Burke" which has nearly $4,000,000 cash in the bank for a candidate that never has an opponent. His fund also shares the same address as the Burnham Fund (2650 West 51st Street) which is near where his private city funded fence is installed.
He also takes the prerogative to speak last on every point in the City Council meetings, often trying to appear to be erudite by making maudlin circumlocution quotes of other great men (Plato, Cicero, Will Rodgers, Diogenes, Suetonius, Tacitus) which coming out of the mouth from his blue collar, trailer park upbringing, sounds rather comedic.
Behind the facade of the $1,000 tailored suits, slicked back haircut and sensible eyeglasses, he must be a very angry, insecure man that surrounds himself with sycophantic employees that depend on him for their daily bread.
Either that or he has compromising photos of the Mayor and the City Council that allows him to act with such impunity. If 25 aldermen grew the spine they refuse to show against the Mayor, they could at least grow a pair to end the reign of "Jr. Mayor" Burke's perks.

The job is a real pain in the neck? You mean on top of blinking, now she's grinding her teeth and taking anti-acids?
Are you implying that she is the "real police"? Maybe she's a "real bartender" but that's about it.
She owes her job to JFED (because of Peterson) and now she can't stand him? Join the fucking club sweat heart! No one can stand JFED, BEA, SCREAMING SKULL, JJ or any of the super heroes!!!
Wow??? Ever heard of don't bite the hand that feeds you? That's the problem, no loyalty to anyone anymore. Eventhough the person who promoted her way beyond her capabilities (Peter Principle) she still has the audacity to say that she want's to retire ASAP.
Hasn't she been retired for the last two years? What has she done?
Haven't received any emails or haven't heard/seen her on radio/tv since she received national coverage on how her condo was raided afeter it was determined that it was being utilized as a storage(stash) facility for numerous firearms and large quantities of cocaine as reported by the Sun Times, Tribune and Associated Press (exactly one year to the date). Anyone else would have been forced to step down, demoted and or fired.
Congratulations BEA you beat the odds.
Well anyway,HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEA!

What about the $200,000 police blue camera trained on his mansion in the ghetto? You also left out his "loyalty" the guy he dumped because he has a heart condition! Nice ed nice! He cuts all this the city could save millions on his worthless spending!
What also about all the people with big dollars his law firm represents to get the real estate taxes lowered to bargain basement prices?
This is Radio Free Chicago reporting from the heart of occupied Chicago.
Some good can be found in any organization, even those as despicable as the Communists or the National Socialists. A proud commie or Nazi would usually display a pin on their lapel to show party affiliation; a red star for the pinko commie or a swastica for the Nazi.
I believe that the Dumbocrats who saddle our department with worthless political hacks who bring nothing but incompetence to the table should require their hacks to wear a pin signifying their party membership and their favored status. They can actually just do nothing and stay out of the way of those who want to work which would, in most cases, be a welcome relief and a break from them screwing things up with their ineptitude.
I believe that a lapel pin with a large jackass of gold would make a fine symbol. It can represent the Dumbocratic party symbol, which is a donkey or jackass, as well as the personality of the jackass wearing it.
Stay strong, Patriots. The cracks are beginning to show in the Peoples Democratic Party of Chicago. The election is just around the corner. This is
Radio Free Chicago, signing off.
Told you the the review of police budget/manpower was coming. Remember a few weeks ago about gun, sat teams being disbanded along with other units. Well buckle up because the dumpings are coming quick and at a rapid pace. Just before summer , go figure!

Is this the same RayRay Hamilton has now slithered back to the last place he was dumped from, SWAT?
How can he be a SWAT Sgt. and a LEGAL OFFICER and continue to make Lieutenant's pay? How can this be? WEISel? Masters? Anybody?
It will be all too interesting to see how the helm of leadership of the CPD plays out. 11 months to go with the WEISel, and then a new guy (or gal). Best guess is that RayRay is attempting to find a hole he can slither into quickly should WEISel be dumped early by the Mayor. Anyone in their right mind who takes the chair will want ALL of the high command OUT, Deputy Chiefs on up to the Asst. Supts. It's good to have a few yes men in your inner circle, but the crew running things now went way overboard with that, and no true leader would want to be surrounded by a pack of boot licking cowards.

Referring to how Jerry Krause managed to keep his job with the Chicago Bulls, the basketball player Charles Barkley has been quoted as saying, "He must have pictures of Jerry Reinsdorf's wife having sex with a monkey."
I think something akin to that explains how Burke gets away with what he does.

Is there anyone that lives on the NW or SW side or any part of the city that has been or is being targeted by the DOR ?
Does anyone have any legal expertise to go after the city for these bullshit redlining tactics?
An earlier post said that their mother's house was ticketed for failing to shovel.
Are you kidding me? NOBODY in the ghetto shovels their sidewalks. Their are countless city ordinance violations that are ignored.
Let's cut the bullshit. The reason the DOR targets the NW and SW side is that they know the fines will be paid and not ignored and uncollected like in other areas. This kind of targeting of certain areas cannot be legal.
Is their an attorney out there willing to look into this and take up the cause. I would be more than happy to contribute to any type of class action suit.
Enough is enough! The city had to stop fucking with the law abiding citizen who can pay his bills.

GO FIGURE!?!? Where are they going to send them? Will they be sent back to the Districts after draining them of manpower. That's where they are needed, just BYOSqC, (Bring Your Own Squad car)
Or will they create new "Elite Units".
If sent back to the districts most of these guys would have to be put through Retread School to learn how to fill out case reports and answer jobs.
Come on guys and girls.. Weis will stay and you all know it. Crime is down under his leadership according to all the papers and stats. (We all know how you can kill crime) Weis has fallen into place and takes his marching orders from Shortshanks-like a good lil Sup. He has coddled the black community and hasn't stepped on his dick too much. My feelings are that his contract will be extended and all his fed friends will stay. RayRay will continue his rise to the top also.Get ready for 3 more years of Weis boys and girls...
11th Ward still runs the city! Check payroll and see! If they don't live there now, they did when they got hired! That's the trick! City Hall is still full of them! I walk throught there and see tons of them! They have been there so long that they pass their kids and grandkids in the hallways!Shakman was a nice idea but like the old saying, "You build a better mouse trap, I'll build a better mouse!"

------------
The city violated federal law if they are giving tickets only to white people.
In order to prove that case, you would need to find out the number of tickets given and the racial make-up of the areas where the tickets were given. If you can prove the tickets had a disparaging impact on white people, then your suit would go forward.
The city would then need to show that there was some reason for the racial disparity other than racial discrimination.
The city would probably say that they were targeting areas that were more economically stable (ie. white areas). But, since a ticket is a criminal citation, it cannot be used only to generate money. That that would also be illegal.
So, even if you lost your lawsuit, it would still be nice to make the city say publicly that they are targeting rich white people to pay for poor black social programs. It would certainly raise some issues in the upcomming mayoral election.
