Rahm "Concerned"
Maybe that should read "terrified"?
This is also an article to read:
So an unknown portion of workers will be "relocated" from other parts of the country, meaning it isn't truly 400 jobs unless you're using the new "Rahm-math" method of accounting. And the jobs are in the "service, sales support and other areas," which means they can be outsourced in a matter of minutes once the cost of doing business here exceeds the amount of cash that can be gotten from taxpayers.
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel today said he's concerned by the Car Care World Expo's decision not to come to McCormick Place and pledged to be aggressive in trying to keep costs down at the lakefront convention center.
Emanuel said the trade show's decision is not necessarily an indication the McCormick Place reforms passed by the General Assembly last year have to be reworked, but more that a federal court case over that piece of legislation has to be settled so that trade shows have certainty about what their costs will be if they come to Chicago.

Motorola Solutions will add 400 jobs in Chicago by end of 2012, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced today.
Spokesman Nicholas Sweers said the company has not yet determined how many of the 400 positions will be new and how many will involve relocating workers from elsewhere. But he said the relocated workers will come "primarily from outside the greater Chicago area."
The jobs will be new positions in service, sales support and other areas, Motorola President and CEO Greg Brown said at a downtown news conference with the mayor.
[...] Motorola received no tax incentives as part of the deal, Emanuel said.

Politicians are all oozing "bullshit" whenever they open their mouth ! Cannot trust a single one of them. They tell lies to get elected, then it's "fuck you" for 4 yrs !
Oh Well, same ole Shitcago !!!!!!!
Bingo!!
SCC you hit the nail on the head.
And how much tax revenue is Chicago going to gain from forcing 400 Motorola employees to commute from the suburbs to the city for work?
Someone wanna remind Rham he's not on Washington D.C. anymore. He can't strong arm corporations like he did under the 2nd worst President in US history administration. Were still waiting for a "F" bomb Rhamy, will we get one while being Mayor? This city is going to hell fast, and I say Let it Burn!!!!
Remember, Rahm worked for the guy who popularized the phrase "created or saved" with respect jobs. Rahm Math = Obama Math.
OT - Rep. Anthony Weiner has asked USAG Eric Holder to be his Vice Presidential running mate in a bid for the White House. Their T-shirts and bumper stickers are already in high demand...
"THRUST WEINER - HOLDER INTO THE WHITE HOUSE" is their catchy campaign slogan!
~
SO WHEN WILL THESE NEW JOB OPENINGS BE POSTED?
WE ALWAYS SEE THE MEDIA HAVE CAMERAS WHEN MCDONALDS HIRES A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE WHEN THESE HI PAYING JOB ARE POSTED WILL ANYONE REALLY SEE THEM.
RAHM MATH IS A VERY TRUE STATEMENT.
AND MOTOROLA DOES MAKE POLICE AND FIRE RADIOS .... MAKES U WONDER .
Corporations have Zillions of dollars put away from less employees doing the work of all those laid off. No benefits to worry about. And we now have government "paying" them to stay in their area. Sounds like extortion to me. Wonder how many politicians get jobs for their kids and relatives with these deals.
That's OK Rahmbutt will just take our pension money to pay everything off.
Oh dear political jagoffs...you got the city you wanted ENJOY IT!
Preckwinkle defends hiring two former Democratic state lawmakers
Cook County Board president says she is grateful for people 'willing to serve in government
She also hired Michael Masters, chief of staff to former Chicago police Superintendent Jody Weis, to lead the county's Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, and Andrea Gibson — who worked at City Hall for 16 years — as the county's budget director.

The city rapes these shows with the tremendous cost expense to rent space and then they charge the shit out of them for power and water run to the boothes.If they want soft drinks a case is about $200.00. But they always blame labor.
For ALL the money Motorola is going to get from Illinois for some tax incentives, they can get some token employees in Chicago to make it look like they are doing something for the state.
What about money to all the other corporations? Instead of giving away 100s of Millions of dollars to a few corporations why not just not institute the tax in the first place?
And to ALL the union protestors who walked around the Corporate Conference at the Chicago Hyatt yesterday to protest Corporate leaders for not creating jobs in Illinois but getting $100 of millions -
WAKE UP - the guy you elected --> Quinn, cut that deal to appease some corporations not to leave the sorry state.
Whatever tax revenues this corporate tax should have generated - he has thrown it all out as "incentives" for a few companies to stay. Why not create a "tax-free" climate?? We would have already saved the $300-$500 MILLION that Quinn gave away.
Quinn should be recalled.
Rahm's only concern is for his own pocket book. He is a real piece of work.
OT
Hearing today about Obama's National Labor Relations Board shutting down the Boeing factory after they had already invested $1 Billion. At least a 1,000 jobs there immediately - and we wonder why they send jobs out of the country?
The trade unions have had it good for many years . The tradesman do not even need an A card to work at McCormick Place, just an A permit and they can make top dollar, an amount set by the union for those working in private industry and subject to layoffs. The unions will be the death of McCormick Place and trade shows in this town. These are all clout jobs.
I know lets blame the workers who make a decent living at McCormick Place, not the dozens of no show political relatives all making in the low 6 figures to do nothing. What was the name of the guy who went down in the tollway scandle who side broad had a no show job there.
"He can't strong arm corporations like he did under the 2nd worst President in US history administration."
Who the worstest? Buchanan and Herbie Hoover get my three votes.
rahmbo is a millionaire--- rahmbo's kids go to the best schools--- rahmbo has promised change but at what cost--- is he going to start a war with the cpd when our contract expires next june and we go to the negotiating table--- the chicago teacher's union is probably not going to get the 4 percent raise per the 2007 contract which could result in a vote by the union to end the collective bargaining agreement which will mean STRIKE come september--- the cta is another mess--- rahmbo has plenty of money and has no problem paying his bills every month when they hit the mail box--- he's not working side jobs or holidays--- he's driving around in a city owned car burning city gas--- come next june we better all be prepared to fight like a cornered wild animal....
Chicago? Motorola is located in Schaumburg Il. where Quinn had the news conference 2 weeks ago giving them 24 million to stay in Il.
Teachers dont get paid, but brizzard, rahmmy's wizard, gets bonuses for dismantling the cps. 400 motorola jobs, attached to 400 bodies, coming to the city. Its like the 500 boeing jobs, we the taxpayer paid for. Thats 900 jobs in 10years, with no jobs for chicagoans, what a crock of shit!
This just in cps rejects the 4% CONTRACTUAL raise for teachers rahmbo better really get concerned now! What say you rahmmy??

Hey, my wife has been unemployed for the past two years. When are these jag-off politicians going to create some real jobs and not paper shift jobs like the Chicago Police Department. What do we have to do? Become Bonnie and Clyde and rob crack dealers.
Concerned! Not really,if he was "concerned" about this city police protection is #1. If people feel unsafe due to all the savages committing crimes they will not come here! Rahm we made the WSJ The Wall Street Journal a business orientated paper with all the savage crimes,you have to be a doofus to not realize you need to hire immediately like NOW!!

Just like with Boeing, we got some executives, but not the factory jobs.
Meiggs Field should be the showplace for urban aviation with a lot of jobs. But Richie wanted another park and didn't want to hear any aircraft noise from his south loop digs.
The shine is coming off the apple, people are getting tired of the Rahm-shit.
Email your aldermnan and tell him/her you want less money in flowers and put in hiring more police.
Getting the shows to come back is very simple. Just pass some city ordinances and state laws requiring all trade associations in the U.S. to have their conventions in Chicago. Problem solved. That's how things work in the U.S.--right?
Slightly off topic:
We are budgeted for 13,500 officers yet we haven't had that kind of manpower in many years. Where has that budgeted money gone year after year?
How about transparency Rahm? Where has all that money gone and where does it continue to go?
We need journalists and the public to demand an answer to this question. After all the politicians are pissing on our heads and telling us it's raining.
2nd worst President in US history

Who’s the worst?
With those 400 new jobs, come 400 citizens. Will the City have enough police to protect them?
Motorola, after getting JellyQuinn's tax blessing to remain in suburban ILLinois, also dropped millions of dollars for a new corporate center in Malaysia. They couldn't possibly built here.
The CME also stated they're thinking about bailing, & RahmShanks is doubting, they're concern about ILLinois is that lawmakers haven't got their act together to fix the pension problems here, instead overtax business and residents.
The mayor seems as concerned as The Messiah.
The Teachers won't be getting their contract 4% raise, don't count on any favors for our contract. How's that for concern.
Any wisdom coming from Daley & Son Inc. LLC, the entrepreneurial wizards of Michigan Avenue?
"McCormick Place is one cylinder. Air travel is another. Tourism is a third."
...and none of them produce anything.
"Motorola Solutions will add 400 jobs in Chicago by end of 2012..."
They're re-invented themselves by adding the word "Solutions" to their name! How many millions of dollars will that cost in new artwork, letterheads, signs, etc.?
I actually saw a shoe store calling itself "Footwear Solutions."
"The jobs will be new positions in service, sales support and other areas..."
...none of which produce anything.
And now him and his boy jean claude voted not to give teachers the raises agreed to in their contract because they can't afford them and they were agreed to under a different administration....does this mean he can ignore the contracts of police, fire and everyone else in the city cause they were agreed to by another administration???? He dared them to strike but knows Quinns bill yesterday make it harder for them to strike and easier to fire....typical chicago....beat the working man into submission...i don t see him jean claude or gerry giving back part of $200,000 plus salaries to help the public....
"Hey, my wife has been unemployed for the past two years. When are these jag-off politicians going to create some real jobs...."
They'll never admit that real jobs aren't created by power-trippers like themselves running around handing out favors, otherwise known as crony capitalism. What an honest politician would do is back off, treat all businesses equally, let up on the tax rates, let the free market work its magic and then the jobs would start being added and more taxes would come rolling in.
But that might make it look like we don't need them so much.
Just announced, the city is hiring private security in South Shore area......something they already do in areas of high crime....-CBS news.
I guess that's the extra officers Rahmbo is talking about.
This just in cps rejects the 4% CONTRACTUAL raise for teachers rahmbo better really get concerned now! What say you rahmmy??

Concerned??? He ORCHESTRATED it.
Why do you think they pushed the legislation through downstate before the school board meeting?
The only thing Rahm is truly concerned about is himself. That and counting his tens of millions that he "made" using his White House connections.
This pompous prick wants the working stiff to forgo pay raises and accept lowered pensions while he laughs all the way to the bank.
The average age of a NYPD officer at retirement is 46 with 22 years. Thats why they don't understand inside positions.
OPEC is making 1 TRILLION dollars more profit on our backs! thanks Barry!

Give him some more time....but not 4 years more.
Don't forget the 160 security guards at McCormick place, some of them retired police and fire, who were making 60-70 grand a year. Try and find one in that place. The entire McPier is a haven for clout/patronage/mob workers.
Same as 500 officers hitting the streets as beat officers, minus 100 that instead went to the area as super tact teams
