More "Transparency"
Congressman Danny Davis announced his agenda for reforming Chicago government Monday, pledging to stop the practice of what he called “overnight deals” made by executive decision if he’s elected mayor.
Davis didn’t mention Mayor Daley’s name. He also didn’t mention his mayoral opponents who include former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
But Davis made pointed references to Daley’s style, a day after the mayor surpassed his father’s tenure to become the longest-serving mayor of Chicago.
“We have faced scandal after scandal in this city,” Davis said, promising to back the city’s inspector general and ethics office in their oversight of city contracts. Davis criticized the role of political clout in awarding those contracts.

And Danny wont try to pull a fast one once elected.... Ok, I got a bridge to sell you.
Transparency should involve a mirror being given to taxpayers so they can see who's poking them in the ass

And not even have the God-Damn common courtesy to give us a reach around. ;)

After so many years of scandal after scandal and after scandal and after 11 years as a Chicago Alderman and 13 years as a US Congressman from the same area and after receiving endorsement of Wallace "Gator" Bradley, and failing to refuse or repudiate that endorsement, finally, after all these long years, at 69 years of age does Danny Davis say the slightest peep about "scandal."
Danny, you gone. But never fear, you can keep all those contributions and you were just re-elected to Congress after all.
Thanks for noticing the scandals here in Chicago. It took nearly your whole life but better late than never.
I will not be casting my vote for Danny Davis. There are damn few left to choose from. Nothing but crooks, bums, liars and good for nothings. Typical Chicago election.
Danny Davis . . .
This guy looks like he is one step from the grave.
Haven't you stole enough in your live old dude?
Just quit, lay back and enjoy the Schlitz Malt Liquor.
"more "transparency""
I'll vote for the first politician to vow complete and utter transparency in government, right after hell freezes over.
Wow thats what that disaster Obama promised and idiots bought it.
Endorsed by Todd Stroger who also called for "transparency".
Did Davis copy one of JFLED's press releases?
Does this mean we gonna get rid of the minority contracts that overcharge use by 200%???
Do we now hold them accountable for poor or no workmanship??
OFF TOPIC
"NEW ORLEANS – A blaze in a small, abandoned warehouse in New Orleans killed eight homeless people who were burning wood in a barrel to stay warm, the fire department said Tuesday."
All that really matters is the 79th St. Style, Pimp Hair. Was that there? I would most-definately purchase a wig called the "Danny Davis" I can picture it, you can too.
(OT) Watch the New York plow driver destroy a Ford Explorer LOL!

I will use the pension funds to keep all entitlement programs going. The Police and Firemen can go on welfare and live in the new projects I will build when they retire. D. Davis
Everyone needs to go to the FOP web page and read the responses these fools gave the the questions asked by FOP. Especially concerning our pensions, no solid answers just song and dance. We our doomed. The question is how long before the hammer falls.
With our pension fund in crisis will one of these idiots raise our mandatory retirement age to 70?
He's only running to make sure Rahm gets in, bottom line.
I wouldn't vote for Rahm, just another Obama.
I'm glad the President took time from his busy schedule to call on behalf of convicted felon Michael Vick. This is the same President that couldn't spare the time for the National Police Memorial in Washington D.C..
If you can catch, throw or dribble a ball, you can do what you want and all is forgiven. If you are giving money to these guys, you are part of the problem, and yes, this is a big problem.
Society spirals downward.
Fact...... Det class jan. 6
danny davis wants the city to stop paying john burge's legal fees--- how about stopping the gravy train for all the welfare leeches too--- you get one baby that you can support on welfare, after that you are on your own--- how about that for a platform danny boy.....
O.T., I apologize, for any Field Lt. working second watch, feel free to file a grievance to get w/c pay for any day that Lt. M.Z. in 019 "Volunteered" to work days, in violation of your union contract.
Her "Volunteering" costs you all money.
OT Everyone should take a few minutes to read the mayoral questionnaire on the FOP website. Every candidate was aked the same 10 or so questions and gave their responses. might be a decent way to decide who to vote for even though theyre all full of shit anyway
I was working in the HQs building when Harold won the mayor's office. A Black deputy openly stated, " now it is our turn". One of the results was one of the worst superintendents in history, Leroy.This is not to put Harold down, but to comment on the mentality that I still think exists. Whatever group gets into power is not all for reform, but all for rewarding their supporters and friends. I see by the candidates comments on the FOP website, none of the front line hopefuls are strong on letting go of residency. The only hope will be getting the law changed in Springfield and letting the FOP negotiate.
Yes, Danny, you can appoint the Rev Moon as head of the police and fire committee.
Tell that old Marxist to STFU and go away. He's noting but a shill and a fluffer for the perpetual underclass/resolute non-contributors, who by the way, ARE NOT FEELING ANY FINANCIAL PAIN from the DE-FUCKING-PRESSION this country is currently going through. Yes, we said it... D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N!
Davis and his ilk are constantly revolving their dentures about the middle class having to "tighten their belts" but won't say shit about untold billions wasted on government give-aways to multiple generations of resolute non-contributors just for breathing while the working Man is being chased down on the street by agents of government for more taxes and revenue?
"What's in YOUR wallet?" Is more than just a punchline... It's the real, funky-assed deal people!
What are we sayin'? *Face-Palm to self* The wet-eyed, Chicago liberal yellow-pinkies who now make up a comfortable majority, are enjoying this shit!
Shame on us for valuing the puritan principles of faith, a strong work ethic, education, common sense, respect for the law, the right of an upright man to defend himself and his property with maximum prejudice against those who seek to harm/deprive him whether in his home or as he goes about his business.
Respect for your fellow men and those things that belong to them and their right to enjoy the full fruits of their labors.
That in addition to the puritan (actually nigh near universal) disdain for the lazy, liars and those who live on the sweat of another man's brow.
A shit-talker's holiday may ensue but at least we have some principles we try to live by.
If that makes us conservative (among other things) then so be it.
Back to the marxist scalawag in question?
Danny Davis is full of shit. We dare any of his constituents to come up with anything meaningful that he has done over the last 40 years beside get a coat-tail ride and getting his marching orders from Daley Inc. to keep his constituents full of a perpetual victimhood mentality and the swollen, misguided sense of perpetual outrage and entitlement.
Stop dopin', drinkin', recklessly replicatin' and law-breakin' wipe the yellow-pinky bullshit from your eyes and stand on the rock of education and hard work...
*Face-Palm again*
Sorry. For a minute we thought we were in a place where people thought for themselves.
This is Chicago... Nuttin' to see here now move along.
Good luck trying to renegotiate that parking meter contract, Mr. Davis.
The time to drive a hard bargain is before, not after, you sign on the dotted line.

Nice try dickhead. The merit letter is not even out yet. Try March, If we are lucky.
Davis tells Clinton to stay out of the Mayor's race, says Chicago needs a black mayor......what a fucking racist.
Chris Rock said it best,,,,the most racist people out there are old black people.
Davis now complaining that Pres Clinton shouldn't come to Chicago to campaign for his ex-senior advisor Rahm because it's an insult to the black community.
What is an insult is that the jagoff, I mean ex-President should have some asshat like Davis say stupid shit like that.
So let me get this straight Congressman Davis, Clinton should not campaign and speak for someone that HE hired once in a senior post, in favor who? Just because you say so?
Thanks again for giving me another reason NOT to vote for you Congressman.
OT: 016 plea for help:
Send back Riccio!

That phone call was made and publicized to remind the brothers and sisters that Obama is looking out for the convicted felons who are trying to turn they lives aroun'
Funny, they never quite seem to make that happen though.
---not a cop
This "house divided" bullshit is getting on my nerves. If whites were talking like this they'd be called Klansmen.
Danny Davis is the oldest. Meaning he could not be in for 20 years. Also his voting block needs the Police. Meaning they won't cut our budgeit.
Just a thought, but everyone has their own opinion.
More "Transparency"
Ha, transparency in politics? It's as clear as mud ain't it?
We know damn well that we will be told ANYTHING to get elected.
Once in office it's ALWAYS hoo-ray for me and "Eff" you. I got mine
Danny Davis and "transparency"???
I think not. The scumbag commits a traffic violation in an all black neighborhood (Kedzie and Douglas Blvd.) at night and he immediately claims "racial profiling". Fuck Danny K. Davis.
While Meeks dropped out, he tried the same "race card" bullshit out at 115th and Michigan.
Is there even one non-Democrat running for mayor? Aside from a few with no name recognition whatsoever, I detest ALL of our "choices".
Let's give Danny Davis at least some props,,,He at least lives in the Congressional District he represents, unlike Luis "The Little Rooster" Guittierrez.
That said, he is very racist and just cost himself and any other black candidate some votes.
"Thanks again for giving me another reason NOT to vote for you Congressman.
12/28/2010 06:32:00 PM"
and thanks to you, for giving me yet another reason not to vote for the rahmsicle.
"Davis tells Clinton to stay out of the Mayor's race, says Chicago needs a black mayor......what a fucking racist.

i can see it coming:
'Vote For Rahm, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE'
And if you believe all that, Davis has a bridge in Brooklyn he wants to sell you too.
Will Davis admit the the entire economy of the west and most of the south side's are derived from drug sales? That is some truth that no one wants printed on the front page!
I see by the candidates comments on the FOP website, none of the front line hopefuls are strong on letting go of residency. The only hope will be getting the law changed in Springfield and letting the FOP negotiate.

If that mother-fucker rahm is allowed to run, my house is going up for rent and i'm moving to the burbs.

I want to sub-lease Rahm's place on the North Hermitage and turn it into a homeless shelter. All piss bums welcome. Free cheap wine and vodka to all. And maybe a polling place too.
Was'nt there a You Tube video going around during the summer about Davis's openess a meeting of politicians and school board members.
That Davis held early on a Sunday morning behind closed doors at a restauarunt and Davis became confrontational when he learned uninvited individuals filmed who was there?
vote for our current city clerk
he was an independent that daley appointed to clerk to keep him away as a possible challenger to the daley dynasty
he appears to be honest , family man , let's give him a chance
i never heard of him playing race card like davis or meeks
commit a traffic violation and blame the white police
Can the race card be thrown by a WHITE man without being labeled a racist?
NO...didn't think so.
" And maybe a polling place too.

'maybe'?
