Stealth Payroll?
No money for anyone who does, you know, actual work. But plenty on the "friends and family" plan:
A stealth payroll loaded with friends, relatives and political operatives of Chicago aldermen appears to violate a ban on political hiring and was not revealed to the federal court overseeing city hiring, the court-appointed monitor concluded Monday.
Noelle Brennan cited a series of "actual or potential abuses," including many highlighted by the Tribune in November when it documented the existence of the $1.3 million Finance Committee payroll.
"The city or City Council's failure to disclose the existence of (the payroll) through the four years since the monitor's appointment is concerning," Brennan wrote in her report filed with the court.
Daley wants to get out from under this hiring monitor, yet this crap continues on daily basis. And what sanctions or fixes do we ever see in the works? None that we can recall. We remember a few million dollars in payouts being spread around supposed victims of hiring abuses, but in a few cases, the supposed "abuse" was someone else's clout being heavier than someone else's phone call. Big Deal. Everyone still had a job. What's the point?

And I have to fill out a Board of Ethics Statement every year? Fuck you! I am Bored of Ethics in this fucking city!
I hope the FOP sends this to the arbitrator even if the formal hearings are over. It may help sway his ruling in our favor.
On the other hand, it's only $1.3 million? I would guess there is more than one stealth payroll out there.
Why does JFED get to keep $300k for doing one job while he was hired for two? I guess that isn't stealth enough to make the list. Maybe we have an overt payroll in addition to regular payroll hidden in plain sight.
Also, when did we get a Dep. Chief of Patrol for Areas 3, 4, 5, and Central Control Group? That sounds like another $150k job made up. That means Dugan can't handle supervising the Deputies in the Areas by himself and needs help? That is six people! What a maroon.
daley's biggest downfall was when he decided to start messing with the average city workers--- they know the secrets too and will tell anyone who wants to listen.....
Aldercreature Carrie Austin's son Lemule,a laborer with Water Management,who has less than 10 years with the city has a take home car (#WD0101).What qualifies him for a city car,to drive around and do nothing all day at $70,000+ a year?His momma DOES-that's all it takes!!!
yor daley get rid of gas shackwatchers
sit in office , talk on phone , play games , run businesses from cell phones , sleep while we pump gas , check oil
Wake up people! They are also saying they cannot afford our potential raise or retro checks. They are also saying they cannot afford our pension that we pay into each and every month. They also say they cannot afford to hire more police or promote into areas we need as Detectives, Sergeants, Lieutenants and Captains, but they can hide money as this and pay the Superintendent OVER $300,000.00 and pay 5 NEW Salaries based on people and positions that were not in the original budget the year this Superintendent took over!!! WTF
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
HEY SCCC!

[QUOTE]Some states that previously shunned hedge funds are trying them now. The Texas teachers’ pension fund recently paid Chicago to receive a stream of payments from the money going into the city’s parking meters in the coming years. The deal gave Chicago an upfront payment that it could use to help balance its budget. Alas, Chicago did not have enough money to contribute to its own pension fund, which has been stung by real estate deals that fizzled when the city lost out in the bidding for the 2016 Olympics. [UNQUOTE]
Get out while you can......
Our only hope is that the Arbitrator takes this into consideration when making his decision.
It's not enough to just believe the (red ink) books that the city surrendered as the basis for making his (monetary) decision.
I hope they were asked to show a (real) set of books that includes the TIF $$ that da' mare hides and uses as a personal account.
Just sayin'...
Wheres our contract?
Why else are the labor costs $100.00 per hour at McCormick Place, and all other areas of this city and state. There are scams we will never know about in this city. If everthing was legit this city would be paradise.
"abuse" was someone else's clout being heavier than someone else's phone call.

That is what it is all about. I remember Ike Carothers bitching and moaning about the Lt test before this last one. He wanted more minority merit spots. Guess his brother was not in the very first class. He still made it tho. It's all b.s. These race pimps are only crying about their closest kin.
maybe this is just another CHANGE we have been promised over a year ago?
speaking of having more money than they say, they will now begin installing in car cameras in the TRU unit, one could only assume that would mean MSF also. Not that we shouldn't have them, especially since the districts have been saddled with them for so long, but spend the money on some cars for the officers in the districts instead. oh wait some politically connected crook doesn't have the contract for the cars, only the cameras.
Give us our God damn raise already!
(OT) Just got out of meeting, the city is looking to privatize forensic services, because we are not being utilized enough! That being said please call us for prints,or whatever you need so we can keep our positions. We are only to happy to repond thanks to CPD officers!
just ask ald. Zalewski?
I really think there are GHOST PAYROLLERS on the CPD payroll. People who were put there by the politicians, who never were the police (I'm not even talking about Jughead, Masters and Brust), but people who do political work and who will collect a pension.
Where are all the real police?!?!
***How long does Arb. Benn have to make his decision?***
And does anyone know if he has been used previously here or anywhere else and what has his past decisions look like?
Does he favor police or govt?
off topic : HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE FINANCIAL THEFTS OCCURRING AGAIN AT THE CPD CREDIT UNION .
OT: Midway airport 29 out of 29 in on time departures throughout the country and O'Hare 26 out of 29
We really do live in a shithole!
FUCK SHORTSHANKS and his thievins son Patrick who drinks vodka in Russia with the IDIOT who owns all the taxis in this bullshit city. 42 EXTRA SHORT knows his son is a drunk and a fool and so does mommy. That corruption fueled son-that he learned from daddy-is a complete bust out and 42 Extra short and the mother know this. Fuck U Shanks and your sorry ass son. Remember in 1990 when your boy should have been charged with AGGRAVATED BATTERY at your "HOME" in Michigan and you squashed everything? You cried like a little bitch on TV. Fuck U Shanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW ABOUT SOME FEDERAL CHARGES BEING FILED!HOW MANY THINGS DOES THE MONITOR HAVE TO UNCOVER?IF IT WAS US WE WOULD OF BEEN STRIPPED OF OUR POLICE POWERS,SUBJECTED TO A PHYSICAL AND DRUG TEST,AND PLACED AT CALL BACK!WHAT GIVES!LETS GO ALREADY!!
OK, isn't time for Burke and his band of assholes to finally go to jail?
The Civic Federation claims that everyone in Chicago owes $5,460 to bring the underfunded county and city pensions to 90% funding solvency. I do not believe that we are going to have a pension fund in the near future.
This was broadcast on the Roe Conn Show today.
Out of Town Shootings from AP
Nathaniel Brown, 51, a disgruntled janitor at Ohio State University, shoots two (one fatal) and kills himself at the nation's largest university in Columbus.
NYPD officer justifiably shoots and kills armed man in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. Replica toy gun recovered.
Need a laugh on crime stats? Go to www.YouTube.com and search for HITLER and COMPSTAT. Could a fly on the wall see same scenario with the WEISel at 3510 S. Michigan?
***ALERT TO 016 OFFICERS AND RETIRED OFFICERS***
Another retired 016 PO got hit by burglars, read the teletype that went out this afternoon (9 Mar) for details.
Lot's of retired guys don't use computers or emails so if you know any retired PO's, please tell them about this, strongly suggest they put guns in a safe or safe deposit box and stay alert for suspicious people on streets and alleys.
They are obviously targeting PO's and retired PO's, stay safe and help get the word out to retired PO's.
Daley is doing nothing but putting on a dog and pony show. He'll never change. Politicians will always be corrupt. It's the nature of the system. That's why I took up drawing....you get to escape this corrupt world for a little bit of time.
Clout and Phone Calls Rule!
Being Legit, your a FOOL!
As a lifelong Chicagoan, I am shocked; absolutely shocked.
If, in fact, most of you police officers and your family members are NOT registered to vote, you deserve your fate.
No excuses. They now give you about three weeks to vote early at about 50 locations, usually libraries, regardless of your ward and pct.
You can vote while you are at work for God's sake.
Our NYPD brothers and sisters have Densey Cole's contest at the top of the queue on "THEE RANT" with over 2,000 visitors and voters.
SCC has "THEE RANT" link posted in the right column of blue facepage.
God bless Densey, Mary and the NYPD.
and still no contract.
'I don't know, nobody towd me about it. I demand accountabiwity smf fuwlogh days fowr all city empwoyees to make up the diffwence'
It doesnt matter anyway, Monitor Noelle Brennan does little or nothing to ccorrect the injustices done to the aggreived in discriminatory promotional practices of the Daley /CPD Administration, or to rectify the situation once and for all. She is just another Tool. Ask anyone who got their paultry "Shakman Settlement Check", or nothing at all except a line of bullshit from the Shakman Monitors office.
TOOL...
hey da mayor knows best
who needs a federal monitor
isn't the sup a former fed

Numerous white shirts collected from her. She is nothing but a joke.
What happened in 009 with Jfed? Heard he had a temper tantrum and had a bunch of POs written up. He must be taking lessons from Shortshanks.

A Daley note . . .
Sneed is told first lady Maggie Daley, who is still in the hospital recovering from leg surgery due to cancer, was relieved she was able to see her soldier son, Patrick, in Florida last week before his redeployment into the military
OT
Watched Fox News Chicago tonight. They ran a hit piece on public pensions. Basically laying the blame for Illinois budget problems on us. Watch out. Can't find the link.
O.T.
Hey guys I just finished a bottle of Jim Mullen's applesauce. Best stuff I've ever tasted. Make sure to buy a bottle yourself. We have to support Jim and Athena and this is a great way to do so. Jim will be making his 20th year this month. He is our classmate and hero.
Too bad they make the Commanders and above take unpaid days while they piss money away. Someone should file a lawsuit. If I was exempt I would.
From Shaved's blog:
There was a class action lawsuit filed against our pension fund today......
March 9, 2010 4:28 PM
so will the alderscrewups get their pension? How about Daley? I'm sure their pensions are fully funded, no questions asked. They're all crooks.
I just received my Cencus 2010 and guess what I did with it ? Put it in my shredder. I hope that every city worker tosses it away. Let Mayor Shortshanks see how much he gets for illegals and criminals filing. We can't go on strike to voice our dispeasure, but we can sh*t can our census. Almost 3 years without a raise and you want us to give a f*ck. NOT me, not anymore.

Yea, that like shooting your self in the foot or cutting your nose off to spite your face. Fill out the census, so at least we have a chance for some federal money and it does not go to Montana.
Plus it may get you jammed up.

Better straighten things out with the CW2 dispatcher who refuses to send you out when called. Thinks they should determine when you're needed.
I ALSO TOSSED MY CENSUS IN THE TRASH.
Shit can your census form and you will screw up the inner-city democrats! I will. Fuck Daley, Masters, Weis, Carothers, etc. Osterriech uber ales! Right Petey!!!
Ghost employees and payroll padding depletes the city coffers of the needed fund for public service.

Yes, I am CPD, and I will throw away my census. It is a good idea. Let Montana get the money, not Daley.
Too bad they make the Commanders and above take unpaid days while they piss money away. Someone should file a lawsuit. If I was exempt I would.

I agree that guy belongs to the party of NO. I'm never dis pointed by the stupidity of these goofs.
I just got my census form and filled it out and told them I had three common law wives from Ciudad Juarez and I have 67 children, all now citizens, living with me. Also I have several generations of parents and grandparents living here also. I added almost 100 people to the population with my trusty black ink pen.
Then I signed richard m. daley to it and declared my occupation to be master thief, liar and con man.
It's more fun than just shredding the goddamn thing.

I think you got that ass backwards.
If you shitcan your Census form, and the iner city non-productive people file theirs it means that they get the goods and YOU (WE) don't.
Stay safe, be counted for what you are, register everyone like yourself and HAVE THEM ALL VOTE!!
