Do You Trust This Man?
Then what's this?
Gov. Pat Quinn on Wednesday approved 20 and denied 48 clemency petitions.
The 68 clemency petitions acted upon by Gov. Quinn are from the October 2003, January 2004, April 2004 and July 2004 dockets, a release from the governor's office said.
Each person granted clemency has recently undergone a criminal background check through the Illinois State Police's Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS).
Since taking office, Gov. Quinn has acted on 810 clemency petitions. He has granted 317 pardons, authorized eight people who had already received pardons to seek expungement of their convictions, granted one commutation and denied 425 petitions, the release said.
Here's all you really need to know about Quinn and his penchant for wanting to be "the good guy:"
- Gov. Quinn’s office Monday confirmed plans to rehire his one-time chief of staff, Jerry Stermer, who resigned in August over an ethics flap involving three political emails sent from his state computer.
Stermer will rejoin Quinn’s inner circle next week at an annual salary of $125,000, though Stermer will not take pay for his first week as a senior adviser to the governor.
“He’s going to take the first week without pay just to be completely above board, to make sure everything is put aside and all questions are put to rest,” Quinn spokeswoman Ashley Cross said.

This bungling moronic incompetent has been forced upon us the same way Daley has been for over twenty years; by the vote fraud of the Chicago machine. We should no longer be complacent about such things. We should protest this fool’s inauguration and start putting these people on notice that we’re not going to take this lying down any longer.
Just look at this man, he looks like someone who couldn’t chew bubble gum and tie his own shoes at the same time. No one but a state employee worried they will lose their phony-baloney job would have voted for this drooling idiot.
This bafoon cares nothing for public safety or the will of the people. He will continue on with the same corrupt policies and practices that have bankrupted our state and harness our backs with higher and higher taxes until the economy of our state is ruined, we’re all driven into poverty and our property is worthless.
Four more year of Quinn will mean the death of our state.
No, I wouldn't trust him but I bet I could sell him a used car.
They sent him to ethics training and now he is being rehired.
Why didn't George Ryan And Rod Blagojevich think of doing that themselves and avoiding all those problems?
Say you made a mistake, take executive ethics training and continue as before, after working without pay for a week to show your sincerity.
Brilliant!
I still can't believe the STUPID people of Illinois voted this idiot back in office! They must be happy to have these criminals walking around and moving next door to them....
How many cops worked for the Democrats? Look to them to blame for this. They work for a known criminal organization and are happy to screw the city and the rest of the state for what? A spot in this department?

I can't believe that 025 1st watch got screwed big time. We lost people to MSF (and of course they are placed in our watch), we lost three officers to the tact team, plus we lost about seven officers who bidded out to other watches. So we are down about 20 officers and no new bodies to help us out.
People bidded out of our watch, but no one was replaced. I actually like working 1st watch because it works for me (and I have the time to go any watch I want to based on my seniority). But this is a slap in the face of officers who work on this watch. Plus it's insulting.

All of you guys in 025 1st watch, I feel your pain. I saw the sheets and I have no idea how they could leave you guys so short. You lose about 20 officers and yet you get one fresh body. That is it.
In the end though, it's your guys fault for being so productive. Out of all the watches, you guys lead the numbers game. So keep working hard so the bosses can screw you again next year! When will some of you guys and gals figure it out?
Off Topic: Bidwatch Question
If a I bid for a watch and miss by 1 person, then before 1st period of 2011 begins, 1 of the PO's who beat me out transfers out of the district, am I right to ask that I be awarded the spot on said watch, now that 1 of the PO's that beat me out has left the district?
Sorry if it's a dumb question. I'm an admitted short-timer. (4 years) NO HAIR GEL though!

This is really not the crime of the century. Republicans as well as Democrats are all dirtbags...
I hate to say it..
Quinn was the lesser of too evils for government/union workers who
are from Chicago...
If Brady would have gotten in it would have been alot worse for US.
ole potato head has no clue,nothing but a part of the combine,liberal who will skyrocket our taxes and give more shit to the froends family and illegal beaners! Next thing he will finish is to "donate"all the money we put into the pension system to the prisoners he releases! Go ahead all you hard chargers get cr numbers,get sued,go to jal as this prick makes sure he takes care of all the scumbags in this fucked up stste!
OT: Dave Blake will be waked at AR Leak, 78th and Cottage. 1400-1700 this Sunday, 28NOV10, for CPD personnel interested in paying their respects.
Reguardless of all the rumors and bullshit floating around, we lost a good man and one of our own. Let's honor him accordingly.
They ain't got room in jail. How about decriminalizing weed? Just write an ANOV for it instead.
Face it, Illinois is a lost cause. Get what you can from your employment then blow out of here.
I'd trust a rattlesnake before I'd trust any Chicago-spawned Democrat including Quinn. Justice cries out that there should be a bounty on all of them.
Open up the floodgates at Tamms and Pontiac. Recidivism is a myth. All inmates have been rehabilitated. Give all of them $75,000 per annum from taxpayer coffers until they finish med school on public scholarships with full room and board.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Even without vote fraud, "lots" of people still vote Democratic.

Please elaborate. As a taxpayer whose police service is being detailed out to the ghetto, where shit never changes no matter how many police are there, I take offense to your contention. I'm not a cop but I pay taxes, and Quinn will make sure I remain disarmed (no CCW), pay higher taxes to support all the freeloaders, keep the budget deep in the red (free rides for seniors? There is no such thing as free, free just means someone else pays for it), and generally bury this state by spending as much or more than we do now, and taxing the productive. This is unsustainable and no one will be held accountable when our state is truly in ruins.
How can you support this asshole, even if you are a cop or in a union? BRADY is the lesser of two evils!

Brother, no question is a "dumb question". The only "dumb question" is the one not asked.
Now, I believe you will still have to wait for the recognized vacancy for the watch you want and you will have to bid for it.
Take what I said above with a grain of salt though. Otherwise, read the section of our contract titled "Seniority Bidding".
Who is the piece of shit Sgt. who gave away a turkey for police officers that was given by a third party?
How do you give away something that doesn't belong to you?
We elected this dipshit, now were stuck with him!
He is padding the dummycrat voter rolls so when election time rolls around again he will have that many more votes!
On a side note, I seen him racing down Central Ave. last week in his six car (all SUVs) motorcade heading toward Midway airport. He had one CPD Tahoe in front and one CPD Tahoe bringing up the rear all with lights and sirens going like he was the president.
where is the list of all the shits getting award this clemency?
I heard Quinn won 1 or 99 counties in Illinois and that was Cook County. Appears alot of people outside of Cook County don't want him as our governor, but once again the Crook County dems put him in and we all know who they are

11/26/2010 07:34:But yet they moved what 60+ coppers to the airports where they had how many shootings? how many batt on officers? How many agg batts?Incredible bullshit correct! This will change as the commander will be gone soon along with the girl in charge in 051!
Hey MM congrats on yr retirement!!
The "Good Book" tells us that where
there is no vision, the people
perish. The complacent voters here
in Illinois have no vision.
They have been pimped and prostituted for so long by various
politicians, reverends and others with self-serving interests that they accept it as
part of the policital process and
if they do vote it's out of loyalty
or duty to whose ever name or picture they recognize.
At least the hooker gets something
for her efforts and she demands it
upfront.
Just one of the many reasons I consider moving away from Illinois when I retire. THe closest to here I will be is McHenry County, where the people work for a living. I just hope I can afford the move when the time comes.
To the 25th District 1st Watch,
I live on 2513's Beat and I appreciate all that you do, even though I hardly ever see a squad car. Our Daley appointed Alderman John Rice said, "We can't afford to hire more police because we just gave them a 10% raise."
He also said he was proud to have helped Daley pass the "strongest
gun control laws in the country."
He was surprised to get the angry reaction he got from everybody because the audience he had there was a tight-knit block which included several off-duty P.O. homeowners.
It is all our faults if we do not vote and if we don't let these politicans know in no uncertain how we feel.
Could J-Fled get away with this crap if he got angry phone calls from aldermen who said "put them back" because we are getting flack from our constituents.
Stay safe, this Monday, why don't we make it "Call In Monday". Put up the Aldermen's phone numbers and everyone call them to complain about the lack of police manpower in our neighborhoods and everything else. Demand to talk to the alderman personally.
Here's a start:
Alderman: John Rice, 36th Ward
Ward Office
6839 W. Belmont Ave.
Chicago, IL 60634
• Ward Phone: (773) 622-3232
• City Hall Office:
121 N. Lasalle St.
Room 300; Chicago, IL 60602
• City Hall Phone: (312) 744-6857
Screw the Democrats. He lets these felons go and we can't free Bill Cozzi.
You CAN'T trust ANY politician in this state Democrat OR republican!
fuck this A-hole Mr. Pat-ato-Head Quinn .. Nothing but a phoney Machine politician, Daley/Madigan Shill. Illinois/Felon-ois voters are fuckin FOOLS to have voted this TURD in, to govern our Stste to its definate DOOM.. Illinois will now be D.O.A. thanks to the fuckin FOOL Illinois Voters...

I'D MUCH RATHER TRUST THE REPUBLICANS OVER THE COMMUNIST DEMOCOMMIECRAT OBAMA SUPPORTERS.
I am a citizen troller and I am tired of threads like this and everyone else complaining about Quinn. The guy as a leader and of possessing leadership qualities is an absolute jag off. He is no leader and has no qualities to be a leader. But the ignorant citizens of Illinois elected a jag off to be Governor and now we have to live with bullshit stories about his incompetence for another term. And while I am thinking about it, Quinn is not the first jag governor elected, he is merely another one. As you say, there is nothing to see here, move on.

not the citizens of Illinois, just the 'citizens' of Crook County.
give credit where credit is due.
It was so cold out last night, I saw a DemocRAT with his hands in his own pockets. When it comes to crooked politicians, where is Perjury Pat Fitzgerald. The U.S. Attorney who can turn any vowel into a felony?
Democrats and Republicans are the same. Republicans and Democrats are the same. Both parties will raise "our" taxes and delay/deny pensions!
Before the election, Thompson said the state finances are fine. After the election, taxes were raised. This was done by a Republican .

While I agree with you :), vote fraud must be documented and proven. :|

I agree why not.

because that would put a big dent into the cash flowing from the dealers' coffers into the greedy paws of the politicians, via all those laundromats masquerading as 'community groups'.
