Did Anyone See This Coming?
This morning, Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel named the City's technology leadership team and announced an overhaul of the City's information offices. To make Chicago's data management more efficient and allow the City to respond effectively to taxpayers' needs, the Department of Information Technology will become part of the City's budget office.
Emanuel previously announced that John Tolva, the Director of Citizenship & Technology for IBM, will lead City Hall's innovation and technology initiatives as Chief Technology Officer. Tolva will work closely with Jason DeHaan, who will continue as the City's Chief Information Officer, and Brett Goldstein, who will become Chicago's Chief Data Officer.

Please tell me that you noticed we were losing Brett Goldstein to the Mayor's new administration.
He is now the Chief Data Officer.

Hahahahahahahahaha!
Good riddance! And, wait til he tries to bullshit Rahm with some fancy tapdance and no facts. His ass is gonna be SO on the street once Rahm can't get a straight answer out of him.

How does Rahm have any say in what is happening when he is not sworn in yet ?!?!?!
I thought you can only take a leave of absence for "LE" related positions to stay active in the pension?
More smoke and mirrors!
Haha too funny. At least hes gone from here. This guys claim to fame is he worked at a place that does online restaurant reservations. Seriously thats the best and brightest you could find? Shit I wrote a program in basic during high school that kept repeating the word hello. Maybe I shouldve applied.
"So is this going to be another Huberman-type incident where someone goes on a four year leave-of-absence but still manages to keep paying into our pension fund? Or is that nonsense stopping with the Rahm administration?"
Yeah it's going to change.
There won't be a pension.
Last call for the Polka Party. Polka party table of three your table is ready.
New names, same old bullshit, backed by the un-elected criminals that comprise the daley crime family.
I thought it was funny that Rahmbo always seemed to be smiling. He isn't smiling ! he knows that he , obama, & shortshanks have you by the nuts for the next 4 years. He is laughing at all of us that are not entitlement babies receiving entitlements that we do not deserve. We will have to continiue working or see our pension checks shrink?
I love dogs, but would rather contribute to the Humane Society than have LINK Cards & all the other freebies THEY get.
I saw this coming.
Deja Vu, all over again. Sigh! Really glad I'm retired.
A school chief who comes along with more baggage than a 747 from the old country, now another loser from the department being recycled.
Clout rules. Different boss, same Stuff.
Oh, don't worry. It'll be more of the same. You can be damned sure of that. All of the commies in the democRATic machine are cut of the same cloth.
The only difference here will be that instead of watching the Irish names, you can watch the Jewish ones.
Momie Momie Daddy Daddy
They are picking on me too much at the police department. I don't want to go there anymore.
Buy me a new job somewhere else
Please Please Please
Do the right thing Rahm. McCarthy. Show us you really have a pair.
Boy that guy sure is a heavyweight. Good for him. This gives all the beefers out there more things to gripe about and he laughs all the way to the bank.
Whatever will become of the PAU? Whom will be the new gold star at the helm of the hocus-pocus unit? They are looking for someone with a 7.5 hat size so the pointy wizard hat will fit nicely. And someone under 6'2" so the robes fit, too.
One term.....
Wow, this "kid" makes Bella seem like he would have been the better choice, and Bella was and is surely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Finally, something Bret saw coming!
Now how about fixing this terrible computer system we have been saddled with. It is a mess. That would be change I can believe in.
Do the right thing Rahm. McCarthy. Show us you really have a pair.

I second that !!! All in favor---
Do the right thing Rahm. McCarthy. Show us you really have a pair.

With McCarthy and comstat you will see more than one of these phony commanders kicked to the curb. BS will not get it with him, only results. Hear that A.C., F.G., L.M., L.F.,. We can only hope
I saw it coming. Can I be the Chief Data Officer. Nevermind. I want to be the Chief Dating Officer.

J-Fled took the robes, he wears them when he goes up on the mountain.
OT - Who is Garry McCarthy?
New York's Thee Rant has a post up on our Supt finalist and their former #3 Dep. Commissioner Garry McCarthy.
WOW!
http://theerant.yuku.com/topic/40568/finalist-for-CPD-police-commissioner
I am sooo glad that loser is gone. I was the brains behind this unit to begin with. He was just a grandstander!
Now, Back to business... I predict:
... the 3 finalists for CPD Supt. will be Al Wysinger, Gil Kerlikowske and Garry McCarthy;
... many more folks of the Jewish persuasion will rise to the top in the Ballerino Administration;
... many folks of the Jewish persuasion will NOT be arrested in the River North wildings;
... we have not heard the last of Ron Huberman;
... the Ballerino will not run for a second term as Chicago's mayor;
... Obama will win a second term as POTUS in 2012 :(
... the Ballerino will run for Governor in 2014;
... the Ballerino will become Governor in 2014 but will run for POTUS in 2016 as Obama's term ends;
no info is good info !
huh ?

why is the sky blue, mommy?
Look for O'Keefe to come back and run OEMC. Too bad JL, no spot for you, you burned your bridges to soon.
Good then maybe Lewan, Ryscak and the crew od goofs can get back to basics. do police work. Commander Lewan is a nut job and Capt. Marty is a big big dummy, not one ounce of personality.
So now that brett is gone will they admit failure and disband this useless unit?
Same shit. The department/city grows more top heavy in order for rahm to take care of friends!
OT: Would you remind everyone that it's Bill Cozzi's birthday this weekend?

Bella ran against Goldstein?
"Brett Goldstein...is now the Chief Data Officer."

Hold on there. He just provides data. It's someone else's job to make facts out of it.
So there.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I hear ya, guy! It's outrageous! About as stupid and silly as someone who grew up to be a divorced mom & bartender who eventually took on a big job of serious responsibility
and claimed as their experience that they 'grew up with 5 brothers!'
Oh, shit.....

NO PROBLEM! Lewin can just oversee that unit too!
After all, didn't he put the bug in Jody's (or should I say Masters') ass to place his guy Goldstein into that frying pan?
The Joker always seems to be smiling too. Could they be related?
Funny part about all this is in his last fluff article he stated he wanted to become the police to make a difference. He did not need all that private sector money. Well he was never the police and never made a difference but fled......sound famaliar?

10 Print "Hello"

run
Wooo Hooo, I still got it!!!
Basic rocks!

If we are truly short of watch commanders in patrol...Then why is a Captain's position and salary being wasted in a inside administrative position counting radios.
Clout????
Mystery solved,
Just go to shomrimillinois.org and you will find all you need to know under board of directors and trustees. Hard work gets you nowhere these days, just join one of the connected organizations like Noble, LAPA, Hellenic, Emerald, etc and you will have a better chance for a prosperous career. As you will see there are a couple of names there that have never done any police work whatsoever outside of their probationary period, they hid their entire short-lived careers. Good Riddance.
You really gotta love chicago/Illinois politics.
We're doomed Charlie Brown!
It's about time!
That giant guy with the big, tall hat that leads the Pipes and Drums band will make a perfect wizard. He jumps around with those long legs and waves his magic wand. Perhaps he finally make J-Fed disappear.
Please keep tabs of his "leave of absence". Personnel picks and chooses who gets to come back after YEARS of being away and who they slam after a year of LOA that they MUST make a decision, retire or return.
