Daley Appoints Reformers
Mayor Richard Daley on Monday named a state lawmaker and a businessman with ties to a politically influential Latino group to fill two City Council vacancies, saying they stood out from among 44 applicants he interviewed after posting the jobs online.
To replace former Ald. Isaac Carothers, 29th, who resigned last month after pleading guilty to bribery, Daley picked Democratic state Rep. Deborah Graham, a city worker.
In the 1st Ward, where Manny Flores gave up his seat to lead the Illinois Commerce Commission, Daley named Proco "Joe" Moreno, vice president of a graphic arts and printing company.
Graham, 43, said she will give up her job as coordinator for special events in the city Department of Planning and Development and her legislative post to serve as alderman.
Moreno, 37, lost a contest for the state Senate in 2008. He is a member of the Jose de Diego Academy local school council and the Humboldt Park Social Services board.

The people keep really electing these morons by going to the ballot box and also by being apathetic and staying home.
We need sensible people to run for alderman and get rid of all the tenured garbage that has an allegiance to mayor moron.
Is there any such thing as a "reformer" in Chicago???
Has Daley appointed 40 of the 50 Alderman now?
Two more rubber stamps for Lord King DicKtator Daley.
Daley must be removed from office or Chicago will collapse into oblivion.
Why even have a City Council in Chicago?
They serve no viable purpose, there is no opposition or dissent.
It is the King's Way or NO WAY!
Does anybody even believe he interviewed 44 applicants?
GTF outta here
One more event number please!!!!
As I said to my retired partner the other day, the problem isn't that we are jaded and cynical, the problem is that we are not jaded and cynical enough.
Free Bill Cozzi!
I don't care what Shortshanks says publicly they still don't want nobody that nobody sent! I'm sure a little digging will uncover some connections between these 2 and the Daley crime syndicate.
Obviously daley nominated the best candidates. they will be their own people too, not doing the mayor's bidding, they will vote their own mind. I know this to be true because I heard richard m. daley say so.
I believe jody weis is acting in my best interests and that he has my back; I will be the warrior that dan dugan wants me to be and I think mike masters is the best man to be police superintendent after jody weis.
Sure, and I like a great big dick rammed up my ass whenever I go to work, I just love that.

Yes. In Chicago, "reform" means that someone new is doing the stealing and hiding it in a new, reformed way.
How was Graham a city employee of DPD and a State Rep simultaneously? How could she travel to Springfield to vote and yet be in Chicago attending to her 9-5/ 5 day a week job? Is she Wonder Woman? Federal Monitor---It think we have something here for you.
You should have seen all of the MLD's and LK's working for Proco Joe in the election that he lost. Many of his election signs are still on the windows of these dope houses.
The affinity to the bangers is another loss to Humboldt Park. Jesus please save us. The powers of evil are too great against us.

A really good question. I too wonder how many he's annointed and how a political party that calls itself "Democratic" let's him get away with it.
It's a fucking outrage.
Illinois politicians and its spawn in Washington are doing everything to circumvent the will and vote of the people.
It makes me sick when I think of our parents and grandparents who built this country are leaving us at a rate of about 800 a day. It makes me especially sick when I think of the shitbirds who account for that first wave of the boomer generation which had the best opportunities afforded to them of any generation in America and who matured and whos progressive liberal stewardship of this country is destroying it.
I fear when the last WWII vet leaves this world, the spirit of 1776 will leave this world with them.

(not a cop)
two words: reform this.
Daley wouldn't even let Moreno speak on camera after he was appointed, he stepped up and answered the question for him. business as usual.
OFF Topic
Saw Todd "Stroker" I mean Stroger today at in court at 26/Cal today. He was on his cellphone as I was walking right behind him and he stated "they treat me like a KING over here", followed by a weird laughter. Yet in appx. 5 min duration that I saw him, not one person said hello to him. "Stroker" kept running up to people kissing their ass trying to get attention.
It was quite entertaining.
LMAO
Now is the time to start circulating petitions for the removal of twenty five aldermen. I think the public has finally woke up and is smelling the coffee. Squirm alderpukes because your time is coming.

Too funny!!! Dat's the Chicago way!
I have 2 words to add: TERM LIMITS. We wouldn't have a "Daley Machine" if he were only legally allowed to serve a maximum of 2 terms. We need to get this passed for ALL government officials.
"Coordinator for Special Events in the Department of Planning"?
What, birthday parties? Retirement parties? Doesn't Dept. of Planning approve zoning requests, etc.? Make up pretty diagrams for how Shortshanks' friends are going to carve up pieces of property?
What for do they need a "Coordinator of Special Events"? A job which, I bet, pays well in excess of a hundred grand . . . .
