Welcome Aboard!

Another make-work spot for someone with way too much baggage. But when has that stopped Shortshanks from doing what he wants?
  • Ex-city Fleet Commissioner Michael Picardi, suspended by City Hall this year after an embarrassing contracting mistake, has landed a new $129,000-a-year job with the Chicago Police Department.

    As a deputy director, Picardi will oversee the police department's general support division, which includes the city auto pound, equipment and supply, and document services and graphics, according to police department spokesman Roderick Drew.

It used to be that people with embarrassing episodes in their past were shuffled among various city departments until such time as the heat died down or the offender earned enough pension time to be eased out. We're pretty sure the Department used to be left out of that mix. But not any more.

He is not only another pair of eyes and ears for shortshanks; he has no loyalty to anyone in the CPD, so he can make cuts with no bias. He has to pay his debt to 'shanks.

In-F'ning-credible! We cant get a raise for 3 years plus but 42 short takes care of a guy who took a 90 suspension for incompetence? We have leaders like Penny, J-fled, O'keefe, Brust, Masters, Flores, Aunt Bea, etc. Ask me again why morale is in the toilet?

And always remember Cozzi!!!!!

This guy is a real POS. Years ago, we knew that Old Man Daley hated the cops. His son hated them more and he is obvious about it. Maybe this guy will get in more shit soon.

Does he get a badge and a gun now? Well, at least a badge. I'm sure he's been carrying since the begining of time.

How is it we don't have money to hire more police or promote more det's and sgt's yet we always have money for the six figure jobs?

I hope the arbitrator sees this.

Not enough cops on the street so you hire a guy who was suspended and give him a six figure gig that does not even put him at risk. Ask him where is the videotape or the recordings or did he tell someone else and that is how he keeps working?

The new nickname for Picardi should be "Bacardi Picardi." He's never been tardy for a party.

Is this fktard going to try and buy into our pension? Newspaper said he's only got two years left to collect a pension with the city. Watch him.

"Police Department spokesman Roderick Drew denied that Picardi’s appointment to fill the vacant position was in conflict with the “comprehensive management review” Mayor Daley has ordered to make certain “every dollar possible” of the Police Department’s $1.2 billion-a-year budget is being spent fighting crime."

What? There was never a vacant position of Deputy Director of General Support. Where do they get these lies. If he is here to scout out inefficiencies, the first stop is why does general support have a commander and a deputy director. This is waste.

beware ladies if he offers you a massage or wants to teach you his pro golf swing. he'll screw you and then demote you and they will protect HIM and not you. there isn't a woman in his pathetic career that he hasn't abused with his misogynistic style of management. how do you know if its happening to you? he'll tell you your soooo smart and he will start hanging around you because he learns so much from you. does his wife still believe this con artist? he has been involved in every scandal so far like hired trucks and al sanchez and contracting. a sex scandal is next. don't let it be you.

don't worry, Mike, you predicted I would file suit. I will. Maybe now I can get more testimony from CPD. (I have a friend who is detailed at HQ, who tells me you are at it again.)
