Kass On Outfit Indictments
- In January, Fratto was sentenced in a federal tax-evasion case. That was his first conviction ever.
On Friday, he pleaded not guilty to the new charge, which involves alleged bid-rigging in contracts at McCormick Place and leverage by the Cleveland mob.
McCormick Place has long been the Outfit's playground. In 1974, the Tribune reported the payroll read like a "who's who of the Chicago crime syndicate."
In the column, he mentions this little tidbit:
- I've heard that last week's new charges are just the beginning of a larger tsunami coming for the Chicago Outfit and its political messenger boys.
"tsunami" might be an understatement. Rumor has it (and we've been getting e-mail about it) there is a wave of indictments coming that is going to touch on a number of city Departments. We only hope it's big enough to swamp the Shortshanks reelection campaign.

If the rumors of indictments are true, I say Thank God!
Just maybe, we can get rid of this garbage and clean this town up.
Can someone see who owns this new private company who writes parking tickets after midnight and on weekends . There reading out the company name out loud during roll call but I forgot there name . I'm sure that's Mobed run also or owned buy alderman ahh same diffrence, sorry.
I'm shocked to hear that.
Hopefully, da feds will help clean up any residual mob influence in the CPD.
I doubt Twan Doyle was the last "mole" in the department.
In fact. I'm curious how Twan ended up in evidence storage. Kind of a strange coincidence.
Let it bleed.
HE GONE................

Daley and his handlers realize their days of glory are coming to an end. At the direction of the Daley Criminal Enterprise, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart will run for mayor.
Shaved's blog claimed Dart was going to run for something; Dart is; it's called Mayor of Chicago. He's getting his name in the news all the time. It's to the point that it's comical.
As far as Shortshanks goes, the news is reporting that Maggie Daley's health is bad. Shortshank's will use this as an excuse to NOT run for reelection.
What is the definition of "Outfit?" If you mean any upper-ranking city employee...including but not limited to the City Council, and every branch of City Services, THE POLICE BRASS AND CIVILIAN DIRECTORS....
Well then, they got it right.
Just telling the truth.
This City has more people on Wires than the Wallendas!
Time to get rid of any BB/pellet guns or nonworking junk guns again.
Sneed's Column:
Disarm 'em . . .
Bang! Bang! The city's annual gun turn-in program, which has taken 18,000 weapons off the streets in the past five years, will be held May 8 at 20 churches citywide.
• The stats: Any working gun can be exchanged anonymously for a $75 gift card -- which can't be spent on guns or alcohol! (A business community breakfast to raise money for the gift cards will be held April 16 at the Union League Club.)
• The stats II: "I don't know the science behind this, but I know one less gun means one less potential killing," said investment banker Dana Levenson, the city's former CFO, who is co-chairing the program with former Chicago Police Supt. Terry Hillard.
I noticed that the City of Chicago has raised the gift card value from $50.00 to $75.00 this year. This is still $25.00 less than the traditional $100.00. $75.00 is still not bad for a junk BB gun.
Anyone who turns in an operational firearm in today's world is insane!!!
See ya richie!! Dont forget the lube.
OT........I think the 011 district will be very pleased very soon...Big change coming.And very interesting

All involved will be small potatoes, the "main" guys are all well insulated. They are and will always be the real "UNTOUCHABLES!" We shall see what we shall see.
Is this why Gannon is retiring,on boad of blue cross?? on board for banks?? hot dog stand at navy peir??
I can't wait to retire and then blow the whistle on all the corrupt stuff I know about. I'll be hookin up with Kass, and some, er, ah, shall we say, outside Investigative agencies?
SCC, I have a question for you. How do you ensure that when I post something here even under "anonymous" that my identity/isp address won't be disclosed? I want to post important information.

LMFAO !!!
OFF Topic but on Friday I saw the paper work begining to cancel the details of all GUN and PSN teams in the Areas. The memo read due to the low productivity of all the gun teams. Also it was told that there is no need for gun teams anymore due to the Gang Enforcement Unit taking up the slack of doing more search warrants and focus on guns. As well as the increase focuse of the CAGE unit. The CAGE unit may possibly be expanded. The memo also stated that the CAGE and GUN/PSN teams are duplicating efforts and these resources can be foucsed in areas of need. The Gun and PSN team are to be sent back to the district by the 5th period. Also there is still discussion of removing the Saturation teams as well, and leaving the midnight tact team.
I saw the numbers from the memo and without removing the midnight tact teams and sending the sat and gun teams back (with removing a inside spot the meaning the sec.) thats 150 po's and 16 Sgt's back to the Districts by the 5th period. Again the draft memo stated that due to the TRU and MSF there is no longer a need for Sat teams as MSF and TRU are deployed at the request of the Area Deputy Chief.
The memo further stated with the anticipation of the contract being settled and retirements in a large increase that these officers are going to be needed in the districts until the manpower issued can be resolved. If an additional officers are needed the midnight tact teams can also be sent back with an additional 50 p.o.'s and 5 Sgt's.
So there you have it boys and girls thats how they plan to place an extra 150 to 200 officers and 20 some Sgt's back in the Districts by summer.
OT:
"Ford’s new Police Interceptor sedan will be manufactured at Ford’s Chicago (Ill.) Assembly Plant and will be offered without interruption when production of the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor ends in late 2011."
Okay, so they're being manufactured in Chicago, So we certainly can work out a deal? *wink wink* Whatever the case, please please get rid of the Tahoe's!

Could not be further from the truth about the Mayor not running. He is for sure just watch. Dart is a fuck wad and you dont want him as our Mayor. Be-careful what you wish for people in Dart for Mayor.... He is a rat jag that would sell his own kid out if he had to
How mobbed up is state gov't ?
ANSWER: Very !!!
To the author of the second post.......
You need to go back and complete grades 3 through 12. You really are dumb! The use of "there" was funny but what the hell is "mobed"? You have reached a level of stupidity that would qualify you to run CPS!
"...and the Marines made way into the enemy pillboxes and shot-gunned the previous occupants into oblivion..."
uh, oh shit... sorry! must have been dreaming about a book we read.
wishful thinking that the G would hurry up and finally bury the fly blown carcasses of daley inc.
maybe in the end we the tax paying hostages can get a final accounting of the $12 to $15 billion in municipal treasury that has gone *poof* since 1989...
...the scaffold would have to be a mile square to accomodate every last one of these thieves in dire need of a justifiable dangle & air dance as was deemed fit for a thief in a bygone era...
"Fuck you, pay ME!"
Good ol Kass. Writes a degrading article about Samuel Banks on the day of his funeral. Kass Should show some class! Banks was no saint but he was a colorful character who has an interesting brother and a millionaire son. Could the name Banks be in any of the upcoming indictments?
OT........I think the 011 district will be very pleased very soon...Big change coming.And very interesting
yeah yeah yeah we already know.. kupczyk from 008 is getting lateraled back to 011 to brink it back to the way it was and restore some type of morale and order. that has been in the works for the past 2 weeks and is old news.

Daley's going to run again. Count on it. Some of the insiders have commented that he might get caught in a runoff this time around.
It all depends on who runs against him. I haven't seen anyone coming forward who wants to challenge a 20year Mayor with a donation book the size of the yellow pages.
"writes a degrading article on the day of his funeral".....okay, just wondering, would the article have been any better if it had appeared a week ago, a month ago, or a month from now? And, did he write anything that wasn't the truth (just asking)?....

So Daley declares "Mexico in Chicago"day. Couldn't be at a worse time. Mexico just had 3 US State Department employees murdered near the border and 25 people were murdered in Alcapulco in ONE DAY!!.
Mexico is fast degenerating into a narco-terrorist state like Columbia has. I hope it isn't coming here.

If Dart throws his Hat in the Ring& David Hoffman also chooses to Run, They'll split the Vote& 42 Short will win Re-election. Count on it.

STFU, alderman whoever ! Whats the matter, bemoaning the loss of one of your meal tickets?
Kass is one of the few media that I have respect for. He calls it like he sees it!
I'm sure you and other members of the Combine are gonna weep when Kass passes ( note the sarcasm).
When the anniversary of that racist scum shyster R Eugene's Pincham death rolls around ( April 3rd) I'm gonna party like its 1999!
Chicago is an honest town. Led by an honest man. We should thank our stars for it.

Go to a library. Use their public computer. Open a b.s. free email account, send SCC an email instead of posting publicly, and go for it.

Hey, sorry about the rant about the infant being murdered. It was a couple who HAD an infant. A third ADULT was also murdered. Not that it makes it any better, but I do try to address my mistakes when I make them.

Launch the jackass clueless tool now at the helm!
Whats happening with the Mary the Mafia princess? Did she get stripped? Oh wait...she connected with the outfit so NOTHING is gonna happen.
"Good ol Kass. Writes a degrading article about Samuel Banks on the day of his funeral. Kass Should show some class!"
Banks, though maybe not in the same class as a Burke or Roti, was still a corrupt mob affiliated criminal/politician. If he didn't want his family embarassed by Kass's article,he should've lived his life differently. In other words, tough nuts.
"So Daley declares "Mexico in Chicago"day. Couldn't be at a worse time. Mexico just had 3 US State Department employees murdered near the border and 25 people were murdered in Alcapulco in ONE DAY!!."
Anyone who vacations in Mexico these days is foolish.
Why on earth would anyone want Dart for Mayor? He comes from the 19th ward. He would be as effective in ending the corruption as Preckwinkle will be at the county board. It would be all smoke, mirrors and superficial changes.
