So Who's Running?
We're looking for police or pro-police candidates running for the City Council to support in the upcoming election. The majority of names we've seen appear to be north side candidates but we're sure there have to be a few south side races we haven't heard about. It appears that there are multiple police candidates running in at least one ward.
We just looking for names at the moment and any associated websites so interested voters can gather information.

We gotta vote Gary Chico over Rham. Chico is the lesser of the two evils. Rham openly states he will shorten our pension. Rham also likes to rule with an iron fist and will be much worse than Daley. Imagine dealing with Rham during our contract negotiations. NIGHTMARE! Rham is nothing more than a big shot Washington politician that will collect several pensions.
OT - FYI - RE: Aldermanic elections
Thursday, the Chicago Board of Elections overruled the challenge to Michael Carroll's nominating petitions, so he'll be on the ballot in the 46th Ward. Mike Carroll is a Chicago Police Officer who, I'm sure, could use our support.
I know I've seen comments here in the past that he is too liberal by our standards, but trust me, that is the ONLY candidate that these lakefront liberals will vote for anyway. At least Mike will have the connection to the CPD that has not been in Shillerville ever before (Helen is famous for saying "Crime is not my agenda"). Aside from that, his resume' is impressive, to say the least, and the kind of people we should be hoping get elected throughout the City Council (minus the liberal part, I guess).
Sgt Rich Gonzalez (013) is running for Alderman in the 41st Ward. His website is www.richardforchicago.com
John Garrido for 45th ward Alderman. He is a city worker trying to help out the common hard working person. He has my family's vote.
Who is 45th Ward Aldermanic candidate, Lt. John Garrido endorsing for Mayor?
I see alot of Chico signs alongside Garrido signs. I prefer DeValle myself.
Can't wait for the 12 POs to bid to 025. They're sending you guys to midnights cause we are short and need more bodies on 1st watch.
Phil Sherlock For 19th Ward.
Matt Oshea is more of the same, and Dr. Anne is too soft, cares more about dog parks, side street traffic, and is a strong supporter of CAPS, just check out her website and see it all in black and white
Sherlock wants to bring more business to Bev/ Mt Greenwood, wants more neighborhood kids in the Agg school, and is pro police.
I urge any an dall of YOU 19th ward residents to take the time to check out Phil. www.philsherlock.com
As a Lincoln Park resident, I will be voting for BITA BUENROSTRO for the aldermanic vacancy in the 43rd Ward. I strongly endorse her candidacy.
Bita is running as an INDEPENDENT. As the long-time manager of Dublins, 1030 N. State St., she is well known to many officers. Hubby Marcus is CPD.
See www.BitaBfor43.com
There will be a fundraiser for Bita on Thursday evening at the Joynt, 625 N. Dearborn St. from 5:30 'til 8:30 PM.
Charlie Maida in Garfield Ridge is running for aldernman against an entrenched political hack who has been in office since 1995.

Sorry off topic,
021 1st watch wc (the infamous cw) sent field lt to hospital last night to verify a po was actually with his sick wife. Class act.
Federico Sciammerella in the 2nd ward. He's a long time friend of mine and is concerned about the current state of the police department. Please consider him.
John Garrido is running for the 45th ward. John is a CPD LT. Good guy, and he has my vote !!!
Schulter (47th ward) just dropped out of the race and now recommends, guess who, his (and Daley's) hand picked successor and a precinct captain in his ward who also works for Dart and Claypool before that. (Tom O'Donnell)
These bums think that this public office position is THEIRS to give away. Anything to keep it away from the voters. It is OUR office to vote for!
I am voting for the Indian guy, Ameya Pawar, fuck the democrat bastards. At least he knocked on my door and said how much he dislikes the regular democratic bullshit. That's good enough for me, as long as he isn't connected in any way to the scourge of machine democrats.
The six degrees of separation thing, if they can in any way be linked to Ed Burke the hell with them.
DON'T vote for Tom O'Donnell in 47.
36th Ward http://www.ThomasMotzny.com Great idea to pass along this information to your readers. We as a group have a chance to change the face of City government.

Does anyone have any positive info on Tom Cavarette 38th ward?
I talked with him once several months back when he was out knocking on doors with his sister trying to gather signatures. They both seemed like very nice people but I really dont know much about him.
I love what you are doing regarding Chicago's races. I think it would better fit us if you put up a candidate list for Mayor that clearly defines the things they have said. I am referencing specific tactics and plans. It is easy to say we need to vote for Chico, but we really need to know why! I know why, but the every day copper does not. Lets talk about how Rahm's tactics will directly effect our ability to survive and the fact the Carol Braun has no true platform, just a name. I have no problem doing the research and sending it to you if you guys don't have the time to do the research.
Just keep in mind when you blatently attack a candidate, some may think it is for other reasons than the truth of the matter which is, they are a horrible candidate for the city period!
Signed,
Female Sergeants for the City
I know for sure who not to vote for- Roger Washington. Fuck this guy. He goes on youtube and said "I have stood up to racist officers who don't do black folk right when it comes to the law".
And if that is how you feel, then go ahead and NAME THE RACIST OFFICERS. You are a piece of shit who can't even adequately do your job and thus you don't have the intelligence and the character to hold an important office.

She's formed a block club and a neighborhood watch. She's out there working with the police....she's my cholce.
She'll be a strong voice to protect our pensions!
Rham also said our medical is too long and needs to be cut.. He said 365 days is way too much and needs to be changed... Get rid of this political bum.... Vote Chico he will not hurt the police.

Our capt A R sent a Sgt to the hospital to check and see if he was lying about his wife. The officer's wife has been in the hospital since before Christmas with some very serious complications from a pregnancy. When he told her he needed some time off over the holidays to be at his wife's bedside - capt A R told him to put in for an unpaid leave of absence. The young officers wife is still hospitalized - please say a prayer for this young woman, the officer and the newborn.......

Dont forget the gravy job the kids wife carrie was appointed to by Pat Quinn making six figures.
41st Ward Sgt. Gonzalez. I've attended one of the forums out in Oriole Park. Amazingly outstanding. We definitely need him in the City Council. I hear there's another forum I believe it's sometime this week if not next. Check his website. If you live in the 41st Ward please attend. It'll change your mind for all you O'Conner, Gavin fans.
http://23ward.com/
Chauck Maida, Sgt from 008
I live in the 29th ward. I am voting for Beverly D. Rogers. She is CPD. She was/is Neighborhood Relations in 015 and knows what the street cop is up against. Vote for Bev.
Slightly OT Who isn't running for Alderman in the 41st ward? We must have at least 10 candidates.
I will say this right now. I live in the 41st, I'm white (not Hispanic or Irish), and I'm the Police. I will be voting for Gonzalez. I've never met the man. He is the Police and he has my backing. Not being Irish is a big plus. The drunks from the Emerald Isle have ruled far too long!!!!!!!!!!
Phil Sherlock for 19th Ward Alderman.
Comes from a police family. He has my vote.
George Newell from the 22nd Dist is running for 19th Ward Alderman. At a recent forum he stated he was against the 2nd Amendment. Vote for Schaible, she is also pro-police and wants small businesses to succeed on Western/111th and lure big corps to the neighborhood.
Maida 23rd Ward, police officer. Sgt I think.
Bita B. for 43, she started the neighborhood watch in her area and she is PRO POLICE !!!!!
Maidia runns for everthing. Give Anna Goral a chance in Garfield Ridge. She's better than the Z and Maidia will continue to run for everything under the sun; only to spoil a real contenter's chance.
I will not vote for Lt. John Garrido!!!! I live in the 45th ward and I see billboards of his face all over the place.
I have received nothing in the mail about any issues. The only thing I received from his campaign is a letter that said "I am the police vote for me"!!!!
You made some very bad comments when you ran for the County Board about pensions and have not corrected them. He should be putting his money into mailers and not pictures of himself all over the place…..SIGNS DON’T VOTE !!!!!!
Sorry this P.O. will not be voting for Lt.John Garrido and that’s a shame!!!
Rham is a union buster dosen't anyone remember the news media quoting him when he said "F*&# the Unions!!!" when he was still in D.C.
Lt. John Garrido is running for Alderman in the 45th Ward. He stopped by my house last week to introduce himself. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. He will be getting all the votes my house has to offer.
- Not a Cop
Gary Chico is the Guy. Back in 2003 when we were trying to get our pension up to 80% and the widows benefit raised we spoke with over 40 legislators. Gary Chico was 100% with us at that time. Of course as we all know the bill to raise our pension and the widows benefit was never called for a vote by Madigan.
Jack Boock
I will vote Chico but not this Garrido LT. No white shirt ever had my back especially during the last three years. It was every man for themself. Rahm is an evil little shit so it's Chico but he's a hack too.
http://www.philsherlock.com/images/Beverly.jpg
Take a look at someone who will have the balls to stand up to Rahm for the residents of the 19th ward!
Sorry it should be Gery Chico not Gary. I am getting old.
Off Topic: Last night Channel 11 hosted a debate/interview for the mayoral candidates.
When asked about policing, Del Valle also weighed in on the question: “I think the Police Department should be reflective of the community it serves, which means that the force should look like the neighborhoods – people who have grown up in the community who have decided to go into law enforcement and can work in that community, and have ties to the community.”
Racist much? I mean,I'm from the Northwest Side of the city in a predominently white neighborhood, should I expect police officers in my neighborhood to be white only?
What a freakin idiot.
Michael Carroll for 46th Ward Alderman
http://www.Carroll46.com/
4700 N Sheridan Road
Chicago, Illinois 60640
call him at (773) 627-1410 or email him at Michael@Carroll46.com Mike could use the support of coppers like us to canvass, raise money, and get out the vote. Crime is by far the number one issue in his ward. Crime is up (not down like JFed keeps saying) in 023, 020, 019, and 017. Tired of crime where you live? Back Carroll up in 46. He'll hire more cops and keep our pension solvent.
I prefer DeValle myself.
1/18/2011 12:20:00 AM
i know you do, rahm, but i don't care.
1/18/2011 12:40:00 AM

vote for sherlock.
If not now, when?
1/18/2011 04:06:00 AM

so get busy.
Mahmoud Bambouyani is running for Alderman of the 38th Ward. He is very Pro -Police. He runs a Karate Dojo next door to the uniform store at Austin and Irving and has many children as students(including mine) whose parents are the police. Please consider him. He runs the dojo with his son and daughter. A few years back he lost his wife and youngest daughter in an earthquake while they were home visiting family. He has worked countless hours to help nurture young kids who come from backgrounds who are not as fortunate as most of us. He would be a valuable asset to have on the City Council.
D Rod(023)
don't listen to media hype about rahmbo and chico
read about miguel delvalle
he has more in common with us , lives on one salary within his means , family man
no scandals , give him a good look
he wants to protect pension for current employees ,that's important
Tom Caravette for 38th ward... grew up in the neighborhood and is a friend of the Police and Fireman.
I'd like to urge all of you living in the 38th ward to consider voting for Carmen Hernandez. He and I served in Iraq together, he works for the city and has 2 sons on the job. He is NOT a political hack,and anyone who knows him knows he will say what he thinks. If you want an alderman who will go to bat for you, rather than kowtow to "the machine" please check out "carmenhernandez38thward.com"
Just so that the elections are fair & square, The Bd. of Election Commissioners will not challenge any ballots including absentee, for votes cast from vacant, abandoned, and/or demolished buildings.
Mayor Daley loves you. Vote the Democratic Way.
And don't do Drugs.
We need someone else in 23rd Ward!!!! I don't trust Zewl, he's got his own agenda like the rest of them.....He was on the last state elections ( i forgot for what), he doesn't care. Money power money power money power......We Need To Start Going To Our Union Meetings!!!!
Merck
Mullen
Gonzalez
all running in 41st ward/
*only done in alphabetical order. They appear differertly on the ballot*
Vote anyway you want, the three have different approaches and friends.
Only 23% of FOP members are even registered to vote. That's why we will never be taken seriously.
Half of the idiots who responded to the FOP for mayoral endorsements wanted Rahm, the same guy who just told them that he will take away their pensions.
They probably voted for Quinn too. The guy who told them he would raise their taxes. How does it feel taking home less and being told you will not have a pension? Idiots.

You mean the spoiler that was hand picked by big Z to divid the vote?
Yes, I'll really vote for this ass-hat.
I understand he has been promised a "spot" after the smoke clears.
About as credable as our crew over at lodge 7.
I am a strong supporter of Mike Carroll for 46th Ward Alderman. Please do not confuse “liberal” with “compassionate.” He is a man thoughtful good enough to volunteer at a food pantry, while making every effort to combat crime in his neighborhood. Mike is very pro-Police. He is accessible and smart. Exactly the guy you can trust representing your best interests.
Isn't there a CPD Sergeant from 025 running against Daley's pick, John "We can't hire more police because we gave them a 10% raise." Rice in the 36th ward?
If either Mary O'Conner or Gavin in the 41st Ward win they WILL NOT survive in the city council. Especially if they have to deal with Rahm Emmanuel or Braun! Realistically the way things are going on in this city, 41st Ward NEEDS a strong independent leader that's not going to be the Mayors puppet, someone who is not afraid to say "no". We need more Alderman such as 32nd Ward Waugespack who fought against privatizing the meters. 41st Ward ... choose wisely.

if we vote for Maida, G-Ridge is officially gone.
M.O. loves the police he is in contact with officers everyday giving suggestions and letting them know where they need to be and what to do. The 19th ward needs a alderman like M.O.
I think change is good and as we all know the 46th Ward, along with many wards in the city, need to support a candidate that will actually look out for them. I think Mike Carroll would be a logical choice. Although he is young he is tenacious in his goal to represent the people. In these changing times and changing city government it is the perfect opportunity to commit to change and help Mike Carroll facilitate this. With his background both educationally and with the Police Department he certainly is aware of the needs of Chicago's citizens, specifically in the 46th Ward. I certainly support him.
Retired Detective Neil Maas.
Pat McHugh (024) has a sister running in the 41st ward. Maurita Gavin. Her husband, Pat Gavin,, woked for Water dept for years, died in '95. She'll do good for CPD & CFD.I'm voting for her.
015 copper
For once can we band together in this election. If we tear these individuals apart we will get more of the same. It's this "more of the same" that we complain about each and every day. Now is the opportunity to break the democratic stranglehold on the City. We need a strong council and a week mayor.
Personally I'm voting for Richard Gonzalez in the 41st Ward. He's one of only three that accepted an invitation to speak at an Oriole Park forum.
Gonzalez had good ideas for attacking the top heavy part of government prior to balancing the misdeeds of a lifetime on the backs of the worker ants of the city. Supporting the current pension system and against city service reallocation.
Of the other two challengers, Gavin is running on being Doherty's assistant and O'Connor is relying on her business and her Irish name for support.
Any current City employee who votes for Rahm will cast a vote for greatly reduced pensions backed by a big IOU. If in fact he is the front runner, he must be forced into a run-off!
Don't just sit home on election day, VOTE!
You need to read all of Dr. Annes positions and not just pick out what you want. She has been fighting to get AGS school for the neighborhood. She also will fight for the pentions and more police.
Come to the poitical forum on 20jan11 at Mt.Greenwwod Park at 8:00pm and see what she is all about.
Or stop by the office and read her position papers.
She also had a meeting with the business owners on improving business in the 19th Ward.
Read it all not just what you want to see.
Proud wife of a CPD officer
Work, don't live in 023 and I guess...Mike Carroll being part of CPD is a good thing but Damn!, he's liberal! Nice OBAMA bumper sticker on his 'smart car' back in '08...just ask him! Yikes!!
I know of 4 wards where members of the CFD are running. Nick Sposato is running in the 36th ward(Banks old ward). Lapinski in the 41st. Reed is running against Beale in the 9th And Wiley-Earls in the 28th(Smith's old seat).
I personally know 3 of them. Sposato is a GREAT guy and a real strong union man. He will do a great job. Wiley-Earls is one hell of a woman. She is very dedicated to what she strives for. She will be 100 x's better then Smith plus is very pro union. Reed will be better then Beale. But I think even Farrahkan would be better then that punk. Not sure of Lapinski but I do know people from up north that say he is a good guy.
This is why the unions representing the CFD,CPD,CPS along with other city unions should of had meetings 6 months ago planning on having members run and to set up strategies to help support & campaign for them too.
But then again these unions are to REACTIVE and not PROACTIVE.
I hate to say this....but I will.
None of us should be voting for any Incumbent, at all. PO or Dem or Repub or Indie.
44th is going to roll since no ones opposing Tunny.
Now, As for Bita running for 43rd Alder..
So she is a favorite of the PO's in 1824. So what?
Let her work in 43rd ward then and show she can work where she lives.
Can someone from 43rd sound off on who they think should get the Limited PO and City Employee vote.

http://elections.chicagotribune.com/editorial/tom-caravette/
"Sorry this P.O. will not be voting for Lt.John Garrido and that’s a shame!!!"
"I will vote Chico but not this Garrido..."
Sorry, but you guys are ignorant of the issues and the candidates. I'm sorry that you haven't had a chance to get promoted, but being a supervisor (non-merit, BTW) is a ridiculous reason to not vote for the best candidate.
Lt. G's a smart, honest, good guy who is what the city council needs. He's about public safety and supporting business AND labor in the ward.
come on, use your heads.

Brian Matos for 36th ward, we talked to this guy and he is very pro-police and 2nd Amendment. Only bad part is, you have to write his name in.

Hey that's great! If you live in the 45th Ward, you can vote for Michael Fitzpatrick Ward. He wants an unreduced retirement age of 67 for everyone.
I can just see it now, 66 year old cops, firefighters, laborers, trades-workers out busting their behinds in below zero weather and getting carted off in a gurney. Most of the guys I know are pretty beat up by the time they're 55.
Team Shields!!!! Don't be foolish and keep voting for the SAME TEAM a.k.a. The CW team...... Look out for the pensions, how about a shooting policy??? How about the officers held hostage in call back.
GO TEAM SHIELDS!!!!

Ask around and find out how often he was not at work for various reasons as a PO?
Ask about his family life. The life story is amazing.
Ask a lot, because he's got serious baggage..
MAURITA E. GAVIN (ask about her $300.00 birthday present from the 41st ward Republican organization? She's the assistant to the alderman and receiving that kind of present as a city worker!)
GEORGE BANNA (Another MIA)
BARBARA ATECA (Nurse/Union yes/but over her head)
JIM MULLEN (He bleeds blue. Would back police 100% but he has handlers. Be careful on this one.)
BROCK MERCK (The Who is Brock Merck guy again. This guy doesn't give up. Possibly the best choice, but he might be too conservative for a lot of coppers)
We gotta go with Chico guys. Rahm just proves over and over he's an outsider DC guy and having Clinton pushing for him should scare us all. The scary part is Rahm could care less about the 470 plus stars on the wall at 35th he wants to cut our pension, medical etc. etc. But we can't talk about the aldermen's pensions and Rahm's possible 3 pensions.
No one will mention how we put in every two weeks to the pension and that we get no social secutity. He will be very unfair and hard to do business with. Rahm is an outsider that will destroy chicago. Hope the Clinton move backfires.
Chuck Maida running for 23rd ward alderman. Hes the police
1220 am post. delVallle has gotten CR numbers against police. Chico is the way to go for us. Lets be smart
who ever we vote for, we need to make sure they DO NOT support this idiot called OBAMA! as long as they support the police and the fixing of our contract and pension and refuse to support idiot OBAMA we should be in good shape! Obama is the worst thing that could possibly have happened to this country
Anne Schaible, 19th Ward Candidate, is a strong supporter of the police, has worked with them to split a beat and share important safety information via a neighborhood email alert system.

Rahm couldn't run a meat slicer at the Arbys . . . . and now he wants to run the City? ROFLMFAO!
Come on out to Olympia Park in the 41st ward on Jan 20 at 7pm. There's gonna be a debate.
Support the police!!!
Mullen
Merck
Gonzalez
Pat McHugh (024) has a sister running in the 41st ward. Maurita Gavin. Her husband, Pat Gavin,, woked for Water dept for years, died in '95. She'll do good for CPD & CFD.I'm voting for her.

And you are basing this on what? Because her husband "woked" for the water department? Voters like YOU are the reason Daley and all his cronies have ravaged this city for decades.
The problem in the 23rd ward is that Maida and Goral will split the vote and "Z" will once again be elected by the stupid democrats.
Does anyone have any positive info on Tom Cavarette 38th ward?
I talked with him once several months back when he was out knocking on doors with his sister trying to gather signatures. They both seemed like very nice people but I really dont know much about him.
1/18/2011 05:53:00 AM
I know Tom from grammer school and high school. Comes from a big family and has been a northwest sider his entire life I believe.
Not sure what he is like now, but back then he was a good guy. Very down to earth and never took himself too seriously. I don't know what his qualifications are for running for alderman, but I can't imagine he would be a bad pick considering what we have now.
If I lived in his ward, I wouldn't hesitate voting for him based on my experiences with him in the past.
I do not want Rahm as Mayor, but I HATE the little racist, weasel "Dream Act" pusher Luis Gutierrez. Even if he endorsed Chico over del Valle, ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS are birds of a feather when it comes to ILLEGAL immigration, ie they are ALL FOR supporting the illegals and keeping Chicago a sanctuary city!
One of the BIG reasons this city, state and country are on the verge of bankruptcy is due to the billions of $$$ given away to illegals every day in the form of free housing, medical, education, and other assorted subsidies. When does it stop? Which candidate can we vote for that will stop giving our country away to people who have not become citizens, have no intention of becoming citizens or are only here to benefit from all the ill-advised left wing benevolence and "compassion" that the U.S. is famous for?
I know we are all worried about the fate of our pensions and we should be. But I submit to you that there is a much bigger picture out there that pertains to our retirement and our futures in general and it's a picture we all need to be aware of and look at.
"Also today, Gery Chico’s campaign started making automated calls that feature U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who has endorsed Chico for mayor."
Anonymous said... Tom Caravette for 38th ward... grew up in the neighborhood and is a friend of the Police and Fireman. 1/18/2011 11:23:00 AM
This couldn't be further from the truth. Tom is already telling people in the ward he is in because the cullertons have appointed him as being next. Tom is a poltical hack that will keep things the way they are. Oh and how is he getting all of those flyers and signs made up if he doesn't have a job. Oh that's right he's a poltical hack. I don't know about you but I don't want my aldermen to be an umemployed hack before he gets in office.
K-Towns Finest Roger L. Washington P.O 025th Dist. runnin for 24th ward Alderman. Battled racist cops that don't do any Black folks any good, problem is P.O Washington has no filter between his brain and his mouth, another canidate who is using the Race card to further his agenda, praying on the weak minded, anyone who listens to Washington speak can see right through his bullshit, Roger you are in over your head PLS STFU!!! If you were to be voted in as Alderman and your work reflect your career as a P.O the entire 24th ward would suffer. P.S Im not a racist cop just a Black P.O who was born and raised and really cares about the 24th ward.

Nope. Vote for him and you'll be keeping the machine in power. He is getting money from another aldermen that he is connected to for his campaign since tom himself has no job.
Isn't there a CPD Sergeant from 025 running against Daley's pick, John "We can't hire more police because we gave them a 10% raise." Rice in the 36th ward?
1/18/2011 12:41:00 PM
36th ward has a Fireman, Nick Spasoto running against Rice. Nick is a stand up Guy.
Watch out who you vote for in the 19th. Schaible has come out and said that she would make city employees pay more into pension and cut benefits! She has told patients she will keep her Dr's office and told everyone else that she is giving it up.
Sherlock is an overpaid truck driver. How is he paid over $90K a year to drive a truck in fleet.
I certainly support him.
Retired Detective Neil Maas.
You live in the 19th Ward goof! Why don't you let the people of HIS ward decide?
Rham is one of the most evil persons on the planet.Even SATAN fears this absolute piece of shit.If he gets elected pensions will be the least of your worries.This city will become a burning hell.
Why is FOP endorsing Suarez and Burke? SCC, call them out!
Please, no more Irish aldermen in the 41st ward. 20+ years of Brian, 'I'm falling off my bar stool' Doherty should teach us something. He did nothing for police and firemen. Daley, Quinn, Madigan, Cullerton etc., etc., etc., have brought us to the brink of collapse. Try to vote coppers in. It may be our only hope to save our pension.
FOP says they will endorse Gery Chico tomorrow at a new conference at 300pm.
If you like Kool Aid, you will love Matty O!
He really did a great job washing Ginger's car
every week. I guess that makes him qualified.
Chico will be like having Daley back in power. Chico never made a buck that didn't come through the city treasurers office. How could we trust him to be independent of the Daley shit family. Remember, Daley said it would be better if our pension funds went bust. How many jobs did Daley give Chico? But now he wants us to believe he will be independent of slime-ball daley's influence? please.......
I'm a police officer and live in 008. Chuck Maida is a Zalewski plant and has not campaigned this election. Itsva shame, many people would have voted for this guy had he been legit.
Let's support Anna Goral. I'm taking down my Maida sign,
stat!
I love what you are doing regarding Chicago's races. I think it would better fit us if you put up a candidate list for Mayor that clearly defines the things they have said. I am referencing specific tactics and plans. It is easy to say we need to vote for Chico, but we really need to know why! I know why, but the every day copper does not. Lets talk about how Rahm's tactics will directly effect our ability to survive and the fact the Carol Braun has no true platform, just a name. I have no problem doing the research and sending it to you if you guys don't have the time to do the research.
Just keep in mind when you blatently attack a candidate, some may think it is for other reasons than the truth of the matter which is, they are a horrible candidate for the city period!

WTF? Is this some new group or is it a joke? and why have no female Sgt.s ever heard of it?
I see the FOP can't make their own decisions either. Rugai controls them too. It shows in their poor and pathetic choice for backing that political hack O'Shea. Very disappointed.
FOP endorses chico
we better get out there and ring doorbells for chico
if this backfires rahmmbo will give us all a dead fish with pension reductions , no bfd or personal days

This calls for a SCC poll! I will vote Chico for mayor and Garrido for alderman.
don't listen to media hype about rahmbo and chico
read about miguel delvalle
he has more in common with us , lives on one salary within his means , family man
no scandals , give him a good look
he wants to protect pension for current employees ,that's important
1/18/2011 11:22:00 AM
Del Valle does seem like a good man but a vote for Del Valle is a vote for Emanuel who is the enemy and is on record as wanting to cut our pensions. Chico is not the Savior but he is the only real choice out there for city workers and especially the police.
Isn't there a CPD Sergeant from 025 running against Daley's pick, John "We can't hire more police because we gave them a 10% raise." Rice in the 36th ward?
Yes, Thomas Motzny is the police sergeant that is running in the 36th ward. Good guy! He needs our support.

He should be putting his money into mailers and not pictures of himself all over the place…..SIGNS DON’T VOTE !!!!!!

Here's an article that you should find interesting. Pay close attention to the question about reducing YOUR hard earned pension.
http://elections.chicagotribune.com/editorial/tom-caravette/
Slightly OT Who isn't running for Alderman in the 41st ward? We must have at least 10 candidates.
I will say this right now. I live in the 41st, I'm white (not Hispanic or Irish), and I'm the Police. I will be voting for Gonzalez. I've never met the man. He is the Police and he has my backing. Not being Irish is a big plus. The drunks from the Emerald Isle have ruled far too long!!!!!!!!!!
Real intelligent post, moron. If you are so unhappy living up here why don't yu move back to your trailer park.

Good point. So stay away from O'Connor in the 41st. First speech I ever heard her make when she was running for Ward Committeeman. She said it was her priority to get Obama elected.

Very interesting and possible.I've thought about this myself as Goral is actively working the ward. I saw a pretty large turnout at her office on Archer a few weeks ago. There is a large Polish block in the 23rd Ward that won't go Zalewskis way with Goral running. It's a shame if Maida is doing this. The obvious inference is a connection to Zalewski. Anyone know if Z is Maidas phone call?
Dr. Anne WILL be leaving her practice to be a FULL TIME alderman. She is FOR police pentions...Read up on her at www.electanne.com.
Richard Gonzalez is the best qualified candidate for the 41st Ward. All city workers pensions are at stake. Enough is enough. I don't want a meek, fragile minded Alderman in the city council representing the 41st Ward. I don't care if you're not Irish just get the job done!

----------------------------------
DeValle may be a nice guy, but he's almost assuring a runoff between Mosely Braun and Emanuel. Chico is ahead of him in the polls and is attracting more support. I wish he'd drop out to give Chico a fighting chance to make the runoff.
Chico is the only candidate that would have a shot to prevent Emanuel from winning the runoff.
Chicago Tribune Questionnaire:
38th Ward Alderman
Chicago’s four employee pension funds have a total unfunded liability of $14.57 billion. All four funds could run out of money by 2030. What steps do you recommend to make those funds solvent? Would you support higher contributions from employees? Higher retirement ages? Reduced benefits for future or current employees?
Caravette Response:
I support an increase in employee contributions and reduced benefits for current and future employees. Pensions that are currently being paid should be reevaluated to conform to this policy. Multiple pensions should be prohibited. I am not in favor of increasing the retirement age every time the pension system gets into trouble. If that was the answer within a few years we might not be able to retire until we hit 90 years old.
Cullerton Response:
Studies indicate that state requirements for employer contributions to pension funds are far less than the federal requirements for comparable private pensions (perhaps as low as 50% less) and have been for quite some time. The employer contributions should be increased in accordance with current actuarial standards to bring the plans to within 90% to 100% of being fully funded, although doing so may require step increases spread over a set period of time. In addition to increasing employer contributions, an increase in employee contributions for new employees should also be considered. Other reforms could include (for new employees) 1) increasing the unreduced retirement age 2) reducing the benefit accrual rate to 2%, when a plan is below 80% funded, 3) reducing COLA increases to 1.5% (for new and existing employees and existing pensioners) when a plan is below 80% funded, 4) placing a cap on the final average salary and calculating the average based on an employee’s final 5 to 6 years of service (instead of the final 3 years), 4) limit any employee’s participation to one pension (i.e., end “double dipping”), 5) impose a “Windfall Pension” fee against any second and third government service pensions held by any one participant, with the proceeds returned to their respective plans (for new and existing pensioners).
41st Ward:
BROCK MERCK (The Who is Brock Merck guy again. This guy doesn't give up. Possibly the best choice, but he might be too conservative for a lot of coppers)
1/18/2011 06:25:00 PM
-------------------------------
The signs suggest that Merck is a fan of "Atlas Shrugged," with its immortal line of "who is John Galt." Ayn Rand's philosophy Objectivism, is highly capitalistic very critical of any types of unions and associations.
Rand was passionately anti-communist as a native of St. Petersburg, Russia and was passionate about celebrating the accomplishments of the individual.
Team Shields!!!! Don't be foolish and keep voting for the SAME TEAM a.k.a. The CW team...... Look out for the pensions, how about a shooting policy??? How about the officers held hostage in call back.
GO TEAM SHIELDS!!!!

There are at least two aldermen who have been cops currently serving in the council. Burke and Cochran.
If you vote for someone just because they're a cop you're making a mistake.
Some of the candidates who are cops would be good. Some are 'less good'.
Look at all the candidates in your ward and then make a decision.

The current Alderman is Lona Lane and it serves part of the west side of the 6th district and part of the east side of the 8th district.

If any of you "officers" know Chuck Maida at all you would know that not only is he NOT associated with Zelewski, but last election when he ran against Zelewski, Zelewski tried to get him fired out of fear Chuck could win! "Z" as you and his friends so call him would like nothing more that for Maida to drop out of the race. Maida is the best shot you have at beating Zelewski!
So next time you write negative remarks about Maida quit looking at the sign on your lawn that says "Z" and maybe will beleive some of what you write.

DITTO on all what you just said!!
The city has gone the tubes VERY QUICKLY by being so benevolant to illegals....the giveaways have strained this city to no end. Their anchor babies have sucked the CPS dry and mom and dad don't even contribute to the tax system! Why doesn't the CPS ask each and every student for their parent's birth certificates and social security cards...you will be surprised on the thousands who shouldn't be here, but we are not only educating their kids, but providing a number of "free" services that come in the form of free breakfast, lunches at school, WIC, LINK and section 8 vouchers because their kids were born here. AND NO, we don't want to give their illegal parents a PASS to citizenship when they broke a number of federal laws to set foot in this country. I don't know the answer, but allowing the parents to become citizens and then suck us dry with more social aid (worker's comp, disability, medicaid, etc) will KILL this nation.
I, too, am scared of the Louis Gut...connection, because this ex-gang-banger should be in prison himself. God Bless America.
Chico will be like having Daley back in power. Chico never made a buck that didn't come through the city treasurers office. How could we trust him to be independent of the Daley shit family. Remember, Daley said it would be better if our pension funds went bust. How many jobs did Daley give Chico? But now he wants us to believe he will be independent of slime-ball daley's influence? please.......

Yup. I revised my opinion of DelValle when he said he feels police should 'reflect the complexion' of the neighborhood they're assigned to.
When the police come to my house, it's because I called and I need help. I don't want a white officer because I'm white. I want the best damned police officer available; race, gender and creed are unimportant.
I will vote Chico but not this Garrido LT. No white shirt ever had my back especially during the last three years.

"I'm a police officer and live in 008. Chuck Maida is a Zalewski plant and has not campaigned this election. Itsva shame, many people would have voted for this guy had he been legit.
Let's support Anna Goral. I'm taking down my Maida sign,
stat!"
Very interesting and possible.I've thought about this myself as Goral is actively working the ward. I saw a pretty large turnout at her office on Archer a few weeks ago. There is a large Polish block in the 23rd Ward that won't go Zalewskis way with Goral running. It's a shame if Maida is doing this. The obvious inference is a connection to Zalewski. Anyone know if Z is Maidas phone call?

I'm guessing the same person wrote both posts.
Chuck Maida ran against Zalewski last time too. The idea that he is a "plant" is ridiculous, and smells like more dirty politics. I don't even live on the southside ( thank God ) but I can attest to Chuck's good character!
-----------------------------------------------
I was all for Chuck when he started, but he failed to engage the ward. He has done no campaigning, i.e., knocking on doors, mailers, debates other than at the local library. Chuck's website is another story. I hope he drops out and supports Anna Goral. We need the Zalewskis out and Goral in. Chuck you blew your chance with me and many residents of 23. Why didn't the Sgt.'s union endorse him?
I was at the candidates forum, last night,It is a real shame when the only candidate to stick up for the city worker, was the one that the 38th ward reg.dem. org.tried to get kicked off the ballot! One of the questions was about police staffing
he said that we should cut the number of Aldermen in half,well that did not go over to well. When the unions are giving my dues money to candidates they should at least stick up for us!Also the city and state, should quit giving my tax dollars to groups like cease fire,why are we funding a bunch of gang bangers anyway.they should take that money and put it in some state of the art training
facility for our cops, the aldermen each get $1.3mil for there own use, that could pay for some real nice ranges,Feb,22-vote!
