Echoes of Ike?
This is interesting. What's the story behind the story?
Ald. Helen Shiller (46th) is the first Chicago aldermen to publicly declare her decision not to seek re-election. But, she won't be the last.
Political retirements, promotions and mayoral ambitions could cost the City Council nearly one-third of its 50 members. And that's not counting incumbent aldermen who could be tossed out by the voters.
Sources said at least eight more sitting aldermen may not run next year to avoid an anti-incumbent tidal wave sweeping the nation and a local electorate livid about everything from the parking meter mess, service cuts and corruption scandals to rising crime and property taxes.
Among those rumored not to be running?
- Ginger Rugai (19th), Jim Balcer (11th), Frank Olivo (13th), Ed Smith (28th), Vi Daley (43rd), Pat Levar (45th), Mary Ann Smith (48th) and Bernard Stone (50th)
Bunches of big fat anti-incumbent targets there. It's going to take a lot of research to weed through those who do decide to run to see if they're plants by Shortshanks and the exiting aldercreatures to maintain the Machine stranglehold on local politics.
Maybe we can sneak in a few of our own?

I wish solis would quit.
You're a sell-out if you do work, you're a burn out if you don't.
Noone can ever agree to disagree around here.
Helen managed to piss off just about everyone in her ward except for the whack jobs and drug addicts.
Her comments on the street violence in the Sheridan/Leland area sealed her fate.
She won't be missed. Here's hoping her buddy, Two-Ton Smith a major Police Hater goes also.
Even Brian the Drunk has to watch his ass this time out.
John Northen remember the petitions 50 ald reduce to 25, let's get that going again. I got you 100 signatures in short notice and I can do much better again
Look at the clearance rate and Daley and the alderman still refuse to hire more police and make detectives.
Shiller's leaving because she sucks. She finally has residents in her ward that are demanding better from her. She can't and won't do anything about the violence in her ward, so it's easier to just get out and let (hopefully) Mike Carroll deal with her mess.
It's going to take a lot of research to weed through those who do decide to run to see if they're plants by Shortshanks and the exiting aldercreatures to maintain the Machine stranglehold on local politics.
If Ginger bows out, is there a chance in hell that the 19th ward will get an alderman who is good for the 19th ward overall, and not just for a handful of cronies?
Doesnt Daley promise not to fill any civilian possition that is vacated. So start with the aldercreatures
Nothing left to loot-time to scoot

It's time to get rid of 5 alderman's seats and put the aldermen in the 25 Police Districts. This move alone would save tens of millions of dollars alone in alderman's budgets and salaries.
Put them in the CAPS office with one P.O. as a liaison. City services and the long arm of the law in one building.
You get a bunch of P.O.s back out on the street, it solves the problem of alderman's areas gerrymandering all around and we can keep the alderman legit. It's a win-win situation.
OFF TOPIC:
The offender from the brunswick lanes shooting in oak lawn was RWOC. The SA refused to approve charges even though 2 OD CC sheriffs (security)witnessed the shooting and returned fire striking the offender.
Ald. Brian Doherty, 41st Ward is not running for re-election. Instead, he's running for a state senate seat. Lotta of north side openings, hmmmmmmmmmm.
The rats are abandoning the Chicago sinking ship.
A copper is going to run against the 32 ward alderman as well. Should be interesting. He can raise a ton of money I know that. TOB could very well run a good race in bucktown.
Doesen't matter, those who retire will hand pick a successor who runs "business as usual" and once their "appointed" - it's hard to get them out.
lets hope the tidal wave rips through the mayors office
Just don't fill their spots once they've vacated them. We don't need them, anyhow. Saves money.
didnt garrido just get his ass handed to him in the primary? Is this another forrest claypool kinda guy? Im not just going to vote for someone because he is a boss! Lord knows I have worked for some real losers in my day...so does anyone know anything about this guy? Remember...Burke was a PO at one time, too!
Also there is a female Lt on the CFD that is running in Ed Smiths ward on the west side. She is the Commander of the Acadamy. Then there is a FF that I beleive is going to run in Banks old ward. He ran last time. What they FLOP & Local2(ff) need to do is get together with other city unions and get in some fresh blood that has some new ideas and have OUR interest too.
But more importantly WE NEED TO GET OUT AND SUPPORT THEM AND HELP THEM GET ELECTED.
A two-year hiring slowdown has left the Chicago Police Department more than 2,230 officers-a-day short of authorized strength counting vacancies, medical leave and limited duty.
why does the sun times get it but our own union still buys the city hall number of 700 down? And youre trying to tell me donahue isnt in bed with the mayor??/ PUH-LEASE!!!
Well Garrido has an uphill climb, Fat Levar wants his son to take his seat& on the NW Side Name recogniton is key. Besides the moron voting populace are under a delusion that Aldermanic positions are a birthright so Garridos chances are slim to none.

===================================
Hey 2 yr wonder you have a very good idea. But you will need to collect more then 100 names to get it put onto the ballot. It will take a lot of planning and organizing to help get it done. You will need to get people to go door to door, block by block thru the whole city to get enough. Trust me when I say I will do my part as a member of the CFD because I probably collected more then anyone else the last time. Ask John. Me and him sat down at talked at leghth about it. We couldn't even get the 2 unions to help because both Ex Boards are too afraid to piss off the Mayor.
If there is a grass root effort I will be there. But a good number to start with is 1000 people out to COLLECT the names that will be needed.
Not A Cop
CFD
P.S. Northern knows how to find me too.
One more thing is change the law that anytime there is a vacant position there will be a special election held to fill it. No more hand picked replacements.
And that goes for replacements between the primary & general elections(Lipinski,Stroger)
What do people feel about Bob Fioretti? He can be arrogant, but he listens to his constituents.
Heard that the retro checks will not be direct deposit. You'll have to go into the station and sign for them. Is the date the 9th or the 14th?

"...we can keep the alderman legit."

You do remember that this is Chicago, don't you?
Mike Carroll is a liberal that is not to be trusted. he often spoke of how anti-police he was before he came on the job. a leopard doesnt change his spots.

How does one go about running for alderman?
Wrong information posted. Garrido is NOT running for 46th ward, he is running for 45th ward. Schiller is currently 46th Ward!
If Ginger departs will Mags retire also?
The local Dunkin Doughnuts on Western Avenue will then have greater profits!
Mike Carroll is a great guy. The only problem with him becoming the alderman is that Chicago would lose a quality police officer.
741am hit the nail right on the head , cut 25 aldcreatures , have them share caps office with 1 officer and no sgt , frees up 5 officers per district
125 more police in beat cars
also have aldercreature swipe in and out , make it a part time job
Daleyvand Weis have been advertising a "predictability" computer so the police can predict when a crime is going to happen. Can someone explain how this thing works? Signed, not the police.
What's behind the story? Shiller knew she couldn't win. She did internal polling and the numbers weren't in her favor. Her campaign manager said he wouldn't manage her if she ran this time.
The gangs in Uptown have no fear. Ald. Shiller famously said "Crime is not my issue," and her son sues 23rd District police officers. There've been two murders and a boatload of of mid-day shootings right outside of her aldermanic office, which she refuses to mention. When there were street riots last year, and the videotape played on every news station in th city and on CNN, she said it was orchestrated by her political enemies and that the riots were simply "attempted fisticuffs."
She helped pay for the funeral of one of the Ali boys, famous gangbangers from 920 Lakeside.
She's toast and she knows it. That's the story.
"Political retirements, promotions and mayoral ambitions could cost the City Council nearly one-third of its 50 members. And that's not counting incumbent aldermen who could be tossed out by the voters."
...and there's probably not a one of them who isn't a lawyer who speculates in real estate. Short-sellers, building-flippers, mortgage tricksters -- engineers of the current global depression, agents of human suffering for profit.
As the dead of St. Johannes are finding out, you're not even safe from these people when you're in your grave in another county. The motherf__ers will dig you right back up again if they think there's a penny to be made -- and rip down half the town, too.
They'll not only do fine "on the outside" -- it's not like they're going to throw out the address book with all their connections when they leave -- but there'll be 500 more just like them lined up around the block to take their places.

OFF TOPIC - However, recent events have proved to be of greater concern. It is my understanding that Officers involved in recent shootings on the South Side were ordered by Bosses to give an audiotaped statement to IPRA. IPRA has decided to bypass any roundtable and instead, has chosen to initiate a CR# and tape an oral statement. Can we please get verification or clarification of this matter, Officers should not have to be forced to do such things under great duress, especially in light of the Cozzi case and subsequent court decsiions.
Mike Carroll-
Where are your photos of you shaking hands with Dick Durbin and the rest of the Illinois democrats? Why aren't they posted anymore on your website? Political liability?
Why do you still adhere to the Obama agenda? I see you still have his name all over your car bumper.
Why do you still support Mayor Daley with all of his bullshit? You won't even deny it.
Sorry Mike, just because you are a police officer doesn't mean a damn thing to me anymore in the voter's box. Many alderman were former police, but look at all of them today. They are either in jail or in lockstep with the rest of the democratic jackasses in city council.
The last thing we, as a city, need is another liberal in a position of power.
Sorry, but I'm tired of the bullshit.
I read somewhere that a CPD copper is running for CC sheriff.
Instead of diluting your efforts, and getting nothing, if he is a decent guy, why not get behind him and see if you can put him into office.
Just one incumbent taken down would be one heck of a deal.
Goodbye fatboy you useless pieace of shit! (refering to levar)

One would think that having such a statement recorded would be a big plus. You might want to consider bargaining to make it a requirement.
They can't claim you said something you did not if it is on tape.
Heard that the retro checks will not be direct deposit. You'll have to go into the station and sign for them. Is the date the 9th or the 14th?
9th - who said they weren't going direct deposit? The union said they were the last I heard.
not the police but i am definitely going to vote for garrido in my ward.i hear good things about him.tired of levar and i think it's time for a change.unlike other wards the 45th is pretty pro-police.

It was my honor to collect the petitions. However, with a "full plate", I will not be able to do it again any time soon. And yes, CFD FF, I do know how to find you after you and a certain lady P.O. virtually tied for collecting about a thousand signatures.
I would like to make a suggestion as to possible referendums that could dramatically affect the corrupt political stranglehold on Chicago. Obviously, you, all eligible friends and relatives should be registered to vote. VOTE!
In order of importance, it is my opinion that the following should be priorities for referendums:
(1) TERM LIMITS (2) for ALL elected officials,
(2) a RECALL REFERENDUM INITIATIVE
(3) Finally, based upon official 2000 U.S. Bureau of Census population figures for the nation's three largest cities, I'd recommend that based on extrapolation and the size of their respective city councils (in parentheses), the City of Chicago should have only about SIXTEEN (16) [NOT 25 and certainly not 50] aldermen.
POPULATION (Number of City Council Members)
New York City 8,008,278 (51)
Los Angeles 3,694,830 (15)
TOTAL (NYC + LA) 11,703,108 (66) or one per 177,320 population. Currently, the mean population by Chicago ward is only 57,920 people.
Chicago 2,896,016 (50)

Several cities including Chicago were given a federal grant to research predictive software. There are a lot of private sector companies using various types of predictive software, usually for sales.
Chicago is exploring (early, early stages, research only) predictive software that learns from past incidents and creates indicators of crime.
Go ask Brett Goldstein who is working on the project with Commander Lewin.
Oh by the way these two are partners in a company that develop predictive software.
Sounds like an ethical issue here, or maybe even criminal. I'm sure city time and resources are being used to develop software they will surly claim to be "Proprietary" and sell to the city at a comfortable profit.

Released without charging. That's when the ASA(assistant state's attorney) doesn't have the balls to charge someone because if the case goes to trial, they might loose. And God knows how we all hate loosers!
Usually the victim is "bad" - previous arrest record, drunk at time of crime, junkie, etc. Anita & her crew are spineless.
Case in point - guy wanted for murder on Magnolia last week was previously charged with Agg battery to p.o., attempting to disarm a p.o. and drugs. Guess what he got? BOOT CAMP! And the best part? The victims/officers were never informed of this!

(1) TERM LIMITS (2) for ALL elected officials,
(2) a RECALL REFERENDUM INITIATIVE
Northside - I like your suggestions. Sorry to hear that your plate is too full to take on another campaign to cut the number of wards/aldermen. Anyone else up for it? Bueller? Bueller?

Don't forget, IPRA has a number of retired police officers working as supervisors and investigators. I have met a few of them that I know and I was surprised at how people that I have known for years have become very standoffish . It seems that they have forgotten where they have come from.
Read your NEW contract. FOP agreed to this.
Ok, so now that its agreed to, it is part of procedure???? It trumps the detectives investigation? Can be done by anytime?????? I feel FOP should clarify the legalese they helped establish to screw coppers.

If you count 43,000+ votes for a first time candidate as "getting his ass handed to him", then I guess you are right.
8/05/2010 08:20:00 PM
==================================
I don't know nothing about him other then he ran for office. But remember that those 43,000= votes came from a county wide election with probably 4 million registered voters. But I do wish him luck if he runs.

And IPRA can blow me-bunch of hacks that know absolutely nothing when it comes to police work and cannot perform a legitamate investigation to save their lives
That used to be true but they have two ex cops working there as investigators-an ex commander of 015, and a retired violent crimes sergeant.
I would think guys with those credentials could land a chief's job or another sworn position, but I guess that's the best they can do.
Go ask Brett Goldstein who is working on the project with Commander Lewin.
Oh by the way these two are partners in a company that develop predictive software.
Sounds like an ethical issue here, or maybe even criminal. I'm sure city time and resources are being used to develop software they will surly claim to be "Proprietary" and sell to the city at a comfortable profit.
8/05/2010 09:13:00 PM
Lewin and company can't even solve simple I.T. issues that "bug" everyday department users of our systems.
What's the name of his company, it was "Force-something"?
Maybe it's time to buy some stock, or launch an investigation.
Help us Northsiders out. What is RWOC
You aint't a northsider, why would northsiders give a fuck about RWOC

Reporters Writings Obviously Crappy.
Garrido...FYI...

Merit Sgt., Det unit supervisor (read No bid) Any reason to think this wont be more of the same?

Lord knows I have worked for some real losers in my day...so does anyone know anything about this guy? Remember...Burke was a PO at one time, too!

Not really. Burke was a cop for about 10 minutes.
Here's a real American..Please read to the end! Robert W. Snyder, Jr. 1947 ~ 2010 Bob left us on June 19th after a day of doing what he loved, sailing the BJ at Soldier Creek with good friends and family. Bob was born September 2, 1947, at Mitchel Field AFB, in New York, the only son of Charlotte and Robert Snyder. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he married Connie and they began their life together in Denver. After a few years in Denver, the couple moved to Minneapolis where their son Michael was born in 1970. After a brief stay living in San Francisco they finally made their home in Utah where they raised their son and enjoyed many friends and family. Bob is survived by his wife, Connie, son, Mike (Wendy), granddaughter, Bailey, and sisters, Jean Allstun and Carol (Gary) Davis. Bob lived his life to the fullest and always found a way to have a good time. He had a way of making friends with everyone he met and will be missed by all who knew him. Services will be held Thursday, June 24, 2010 - 11:00 a.m. at Camp Williams, 17111 S. Camp Williams Road (Redwood Rd), Bluffdale, Utah. Family and close friends are welcome from 10:00 - 10:45 a.m. prior to the service. Arrangements in care of Olpin-Hoopes Funeral Home. Condolences may be sent to the family online at: www.olpinhoopes.com. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Bob's humorous outlook on life, please feel free to make contributions to whoever may be running against Obama in 2012
Hey, what about that Sgt. in narcotics who ran for alderman of his ward years ago (he was a patrolman then). DM are his initials. Is he planning to run again up in the 016th district?
There is a great candidate running for alderman in the 41st Ward. Maurita Gavin has been Doherty's ward secretary for 14 years. She's west side Irish (St. Angela), her brother is a CPD officer in 024. I've known her for 35 years. She's a great neighbor, the most honest and decent person I've ever known. Widowed at 38, her husband Pat worked for the Water Dept for 20 years. She's worth supporting, regardless of your feelings for Doherty.
Allen ran for State's Attorney and now he wants to run for mayor. Maybe people in the 38th Ward should wake up and realize that he doesn't want to be alderman.
His family members on the city payroll could fill a department.
Remember this assclown bitched and moaned about how much the Shakman Monitor cost.........
Levar has done nothing for his ward. NOTHING. 6 Corners has been a mess for years. Portage Park has become a gang-banging paradise. Section 8 springing up all over the place along with the crime.

MOST OF THE RATHOLES YOU SPEAK OF ARE OWNED BY EASTERN EURO TRASH WHO LIVE IN THE BURBS & COME COLLECT THE RENT. THEY DON'T BOTHER SCREENING & ONLY CARE ABOUT THE $$ MOST OF THEM HAVE FAMILY ON THE JOB WHO KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR PLACES. GREAT CITY WE LIVE IN
The Rats are abandoning the ship!

He has NEVER been merit anything. Det, Sgt and LT all off the tests.
With so many things to make fun of john for, why make shit up?
"There is a great candidate running for alderman in the 41st Ward. Maurita Gavin has been Doherty's ward secretary for 14 years. She's west side Irish (St. Angela), her brother is a CPD officer in 024."
If she's west side "Irish" why doesn't take one for the team and give back to the community where she was raised? The 29th Ward needs bold leadership and Ms. Gavin would make more of a difference there than in the Fightin' 41st. If anyone can turn Austin around, it's a St. Angela graduate.

I think he got a decentage % of the vote, like 30% if I remember correctly. Pretty good for a Republican.

Something is NOT right here his resume looks like he's running for Saint hood and not Alderman. With all the exploits and voluntaring he has done when has he had the time to become the Police and the traveling and studing abroad like a golden spoonfeed political family child you as a local citizen just don't get that close to a siting US senator without some clout or insider friends!
8/06/2010 01:50:00 AM
Something not right? Why don't you get out from behind your desk and meet Mike sometime. Email him at Michael@Carroll46.com. He'll sit down with you and answer any and all of your questions. I live in the 46th Ward and did just that. Mike met me for coffee and we discussed the neighborhood, it's issues, and why he thinks he is qualified for the job. I am a staunch Republican and I will be voting for Michael Carroll next February. Give it a try.

Uuhh "a number"? Try TWO, and one just left! Theres three or so who are "right thinkers" and possibly have ties to this Dept.
The rest? Well, just bring your own K-Y, cause up your ass its gonna go! THEY ARE OUT TO FUCK YOU!
They are leaving with 80% of pay along with free health insurance. They also get to keep the campaign fund.
Richard Gonzalez is running for alderman in the 41st Ward. He's an 18 year veteran of the department.
I would vote for Mike Lappe, I hope he runs again.
Matt Walsh IS Ginger Rugai
I don't get this. All year long you've been begging CPD to run for any open public office and now this Garrido has once again stuck his neck out and some of you are dogging him. I hope that those dogs are trolls and not cops. I don't know him but he's a copper so I'll send his campaign office a check. Hopefully I'll have to send alot of campaign offices checks. Hopefully alot of copers and fireman will run for office and whether we like them or not, we can put our personal feelings aside and finally do what needs to be done. Maybe then we'd have enough numbers to get rid of some of these bosses and demand guidelines for merit promotions.
By the way, Thank you for running Garrido. I know it takes courage to put yourself out there.
