"Hog" to be Slaughtered?
Cook County Commissioner William Beavers says he's not concerned that the feds have subpoenaed expense account reports that outline how he spent a monthly stipend earmarked for out-of-pocket business expenses.
For years, county commissioners have quietly collected as much as $1,200 a month on top of their $85,000 salary. They are required to submit reports on how they spend money from the expense account -- labeled a "slush fund" by commissioners who refuse to accept the contingency cash.
While it's unclear how some commissioners have spent the money, some have reported using it to lease luxury vehicles and pay for graduate-school tuition.
Beavers, who calls himself "The Hog with the Big Nuts," has been upfront about pocketing the cash. In 2007, his expense report contained just one sentence: "Commissioner Beavers will claim his FY 2007 contingency as income." On Wednesday, Beavers declined to answer questions about the contingency fund or whether he claimed payments as income on his tax returns.
He's another one that needs a good slap from the electorate along with a stretch in the federal pen.

Beavers quote:
I am the 'powerfulest' alderman around
Hey ignoramous, I think you mean the 'most powerful'
SCC, you are correct in writing that most of these politicians would never get a whiff of their current salary in the real world
I have heard so much about the pensions of Police and Fire personnel bankrupting the City. Not one mention of the waste of money on the Aldermen.
50 Alderman when there is a national precedent for less than half that with other cities. 100% of their salary for THIER pension after ten years for a part time job? THAT is outrageous. A million and a half EVERY year in discretionary (slush) funds.
The Mayoral candidate that runs on the "cutting down the size of the City Council" platform has my vote. What a waste of taxpayer money.
I've always been amazed at the politicians that brag about how much "pork" they bring home. The taxpayers are finally realizing the "pork" is money out of their pockets. Hopefully they will learn that these million dollars settlements to the criminals come out of their pockets too.
Toddler will need The Hog With The Big Nuts to protect him when both go to the joint.
These black politicians are just as corrupt as the white politicians......they just don't seem to be as smart, out and out stealing of money.
off topic: just saw a small article regarding p/o from 025 who was the former dui king of illinois--- the appellate court has reinstated all criminal charges against him which had been dropped in the circuit court--- it also specified that statements made by him to iad had been improperly added to the court file--- so now the department apparently is leaking statements taken for administrative purposes over to the prosecutors at the ccsa's office.... isn't that a big no no, apparently the appellate court thought so.......
Another former CPD makes us proud!
"Aside from the courts and the jail, there isn't really a purpose for Cook County government aside from giving pigs like Beavers and their spawn salaries they'd never be able to even get a whiff of in the real world."
Yoose can't say that about the priceless spawn of the CPD clouted.
Supreme Imam-jackass Commander in Cheap Obama and his henchman Holder will just drop any charges on the Beaver.
"side from the courts and the jail, there isn't really a purpose for Cook County government"
Sir, how dare you, sir!?! How DARE you forget the forest preserves!
HA! HA! HA! Useless bastards.

Checked out J-Fled's blog today and found some interesting uniform changes. From now on you can only buy and wear BLACK vests and you can now wear nylon duty belts. But trying to read through his explanation of what you can wear with what is painful. You can only wear certain things with cargo pants and others with no cargo pants. I honestly have no idea what you can and can't wear anymore. They need some kind of uniform matrix. Anyway, here's his post below.
On 18 October 2010 Uniform Specification No. 2.1505A entitled "Body Armor, Overshirt Carrier” was revised and Uniform Specification No's. 2.1506 entitled "Body Armor, MOLLE Overshirt Carrier" and 2.0515D entitled "Belt, Duty Equipment (Ballistic Nylon, Alternate)" were issued. To summarize the salient points for these specifications:
All overshirt vest carriers purchased after 18 October 2010 must be constructed from black nylon only. Blue, white, and leather are no longer approved. Members currently wearing blue, white, or leather carriers may continue to wear these overshirt vest carriers for the lifetime of that carrier.
Overshirt vest carriers purchased after 18 October 2010 may only be fashioned in two styles: Standard configuration with optional lower slit pockets (the current style worn, which resembles the uniform shirt) or MOLLE compatible configuration. Buttons are optional on the standard carrier but, if used, must be black in color. Additional pockets may not be sewn onto the standard overshirt carrier.
MOLLE carriers must have the embroidered star and patches. This is still an option on the standard carrier.
Ballistic nylon duty gear must be worn with MOLLE carriers and cargo pants. Ballistic nylon gear is an option with black nylon carriers and cargo pants. Members may not wear ballistic nylon gear if they choose to wear four-pocket trousers, a blue carrier, white carrier, or black leather carrier, or if they wear armor beneath a shirt or sweater.
Firearms or firearms holsters will not be attached to the MOLLE carrier. Retention holsters for the TASER may be attached to the MOLLE carrier.
Bianchi AccuMold and Uncle Mike’s Law Enforcement are approved nylon duty gear. Bianchi PatrolTek and Uncle Mike’s Sentinel are not approved.
Nylon duty belts must have a buckle with three locking points as can bee seen in the specification pictures below:
Let's hope the useless Feds actually build an airtight case and cut off those "Big Nuts" on Beavers.
And is it just me, or is "Big Nuts" and "Beavers" in the same breath kind of funny? Sounds like the title of one of those bootleg pornos you'd find at Jimmy's on Pulaski & Grand.
It's amazing how many times I will post a news story and we both come up with a similar byline.
I guess it's the old adage... Great Minds Think Alike!
I just look forward to the Utopia that is one day we can look up to a Illinois politician.
"Beavers, who calls himself 'The Hog with the Big Nuts,' has been upfront about pocketing the cash."
Zimbabwe.
Mugabe.
Other words will come to mind here. Give me a minute.
"...there isn't really a purpose for Cook County government aside from giving pigs like Beavers and their spawn salaries they'd never be able to even get a whiff of in the real world..."
Real world? Ha. I can't help seeing Beavers in a porter's jacket, with a broom and a litle "Silent Butler" thing, sweeping up cigar butts in a railroad station...
A college student writes an article the local media won't. Unfortunately, the CPD is slammed for shoddy evidence gathering. Or was teh evidence gathered and "lost."
Cocaine in top cop’s condo? No problem for man who admitted it belonged to him

who calls himself "The Hog with the Big Nuts,"
Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
Cook County is a useless layer of government. Aside from the courts and the jail, there isn't really a purpose for Cook County government
Lets see, the courts rarely convict those who really deserve it and the few that do get sentenced, get released early by the jail. Totally useless branch of government.
We should adopt the Chinese corruption model.
When a public official (or private citizen, in cases of particularly egregious nature)is convicted of corruption, all appeals are fast-tracked and placed at the head of the docket.
After all appeals are exhausted the sentence is carried out.
The person who was behind the tainted baby formula mess, swung SIX MONTHS after his initial conviction.
Sounds like the black pols are being cleared away to weaken any opposition to Rahm.
Remember how many pols of color went bye-bye during the early days of the Daley regime.
Ghetto politics.
We need Cook County government to dictate their version of the second amendment. Law-abiding citizens might otherwise have firearm freedoms and be a danger to criminals!
Isn't stanley a product of this useless layer of gov't?
These black politicians are just as corrupt as the white politicians......they just don't seem to be as smart, out and out stealing of money.

What's the difference? Over half the Department runs around in bluejeans gymshoes, etc. anyway. Even more sit around at a desk all day. Weasel Weiss and his comrades can't get anyone to do any policework at all unless he waves the plainclothes deal at the young and easily misled of the Department. The southside looks like the Salvation Army police.
He is the most arrogant son-of-a- bitch I have ever had the displeasure to encounter. It's people like him that truly give politicians a bad name. We should only hope he is proven the corrupt, despicable, living of the salaries of good, hard-working people long enough, piece of garbage we all know he is.....please let justice be served on him! Goodbye Beavers your time has come.
BACON!!!!!!
Another that has one of our stars and will collect from our funds
It should be like the US Military if your courtmarshalled as an officer you get not benefits or pension
Checked out J-Fled's blog today and found some interesting uniform changes.
---------------------------
If you have a blue, white or leather carrier, you can continue to wear it until it falls apart and you need a new one. All new vest carriers, however, must be black nylon.
If you wear a black vest carrier and cargo pants, you can wear either nylon, synthetic leather, or leather duty gear.
If you wear a MOLLE carrier, you have to wear the nylon gear and cargo pants. Cant wear MOLLE with regular pants, cant wear MOLLE with syn leather or leather.
How many pensions does that blatantly ignorant cocksucker collect? He gets CPD, Aldermanic, and Cook County pensions. And lets not forget Social Security, even if its partial.
If you have a blue, white or leather carrier, you can continue to wear it until it falls apart and ......When you cant lead you always ding the uniforms of the troops-semper fi
Hog with big nuts? Hilarious. Try asshat with no brain. That is what you actually are.
"You can only wear certain things with cargo pants and others with no cargo pants."
So what can I wear with NO pants???

When he was CPD and worked in the 004th Dist., he referred to himself as "Bosshogs"
what the hell is a Molle vest? from an 80/20 guy.
Beavers, who calls himself "The Hog with the Big Nuts," has been upfront about pocketing the cash. In 2007, his expense report contained just one sentence: "Commissioner Beavers will claim his FY 2007 contingency as income."
Hope the IRS got their cut. sounds like a bouse to me and should be minus 40%.
Enjoy the pen!!!

Isn't molle that shit they serve in the mexican restaurants?
As the exasperated lusty late great June Cleaver said to her devoted yet devilish husband Ward "You were pretty hard on the BEAVER last night weren't you dear". Maybe, just maybe our own Hog with the big nuts BEAVER will get the pounding he's so arrogantly avoided through all these years as the racist thieving public official he is.
Adrienne Stanley is John Stroger's neice and Todd's cousin. Another one promoted way beyond her level of competence.
Cut the Hog's Big Nuts off, bronze them and make them into earrings for Aunt Bea

I'll tell you, just faaaaabulous, especially those that work in 19 and 23.
