Layoffs - and Expanded Government
We think Rahm is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Again.
- Story #1 -Mayor Rahm Emanuel today sent a letter to city employees explaining why he’s decided 625 of them need to be laid off.
Harkening back to his campaign, Emanuel said that as a candidate he told Chicago residents he would be honest, tell the hard truths and make the tough choices.
“Last Friday, I had to make one of those tough choices,” he wrote
The layoffs, which will save an estimated $10 million to $12 million for the rest of the year, will help Emanuel close a $30 million shortfall he inherited from former Mayor Richard Daley. - Story #2 - Calling them the "lifeblood" and the "economic engine" of the city of Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday announced a new office to help immigrants open small businesses.
One out of every five Chicagoans, the mayor said, are immigrants, and they're 50 percent more likely to start a small business.
The new office -- The Office of New Americans -- will "drive the other pieces," said Emanuel, including licensing and permitting, and will make sure immigrants feel welcome and are aware of the services available to them.
How does he plan to pay for it? The administrative cuts he made to his office shortly after he was inaugurated will cover the new expenses, he said.
"There's money in the budget to do this because I made dramatic cuts for this, with this in mind," he said.
"dramatic cuts" must mean "625 layoffs."

welcome to our sanctuary city.
Hmmm.

Sarah Hamilton Spokeswoman for Mayor Villaraigosa Lies about city funding oscar party.
With the city facing a huge budget shortfall it is no surprise that Sarah Hamilton, (highly compensated yet to take a furlough and not on the lay off list) spokeswoman clearly lied to the media about the use of city funds and resources to the la times today.
Quoting from the LA Times “the mayor’s spokeswoman, said the city is “not paying a penny” to put on the party. “
It is a shame that we caught her in a red handed lie, she should be fired at once unless the city general fund can be compensated for the traffic officers called in and for the use of Street Service Personnel required not only to furnish traffic control devices but deliver and set them out as well, the Street Closure permits which we have yet to be provided with and the Los Angeles Police Officers that will be providing security and police services.
Did I forget to mention that this party will also have special attention from blue collar labor courtesy of SEIU and the Coalition of city unions?

Well SCC, looks like people are getting just what they voted for right? Quinn said he would raise taxes, and he did.... Rham said he would cut jobs and he is....keep voting democrat people!
HaHaHaHahahahahahaha......
Luckily for me I can retire in six years so at least I will only spend about 3-4 years in Rham's new pension that is gonna be shoved down our throats in 2012.
Making sure they feel welcome??? huh? wow
He reportedly sent letters to those involved, doing an end run around the unions.
He asked for suggestions on how to cut the city's expenses.
How about eliminating 50% of the aldermen??
Sure, there will be all kinds of rhetoric about "the people" losing their "representation", but hopefully the voters will see through this bullshit.
...then again, they elected Emanuel...
So he laid off 625 hard working tax paying american citizens to make room for a new program to make illegal immigrants feel welcome?
Are you f**king kidding me??!!
Oh wait I forgot....this is the sanctuary city!
This is disgusting!!
"dramatic cuts" must mean "625 layoffs."
Let me get this right...
625 American Citizens, who are tax payers, as in ones that actually contribute to the system, just got fucked for a bunch of immigrants, most of which will probably be illegal, and will do nothing more than suck from the system, bleeding us dry.
Did that about sum it up?
Its called redistribution of wealth, get in the back of the land Americans for the illegals need to be hired in your place. Silly citizens your getting the change you asked for.
So let me get this straight, the city is broke and the mayor is starting a new department. A department for immigrants. So a guy like me who lived in the city all his life and payed tax all his life, helped payed for this new department. So if your not one of these immigrants you will have to go the regular red tape route. But the immigrants will have their special department. This is crazy. I'm not against any group, but it sounds like they are against me. Who would approve this, the same 50 alderman. I can't wait to move to a land where everyone is treated fair and not put above others because of there immigrant status.
Fourth Generation Chicago Inn.
The city is broke so create more special interest! The Democrats are the best. Keep voting Democrat!
So.....he fires the citizens and hires the illegals..... sounds like a firm Obama tactic.
Well done Rahmbo, well done, don't forget to give out those voter registrations to the New Americans.....
The Office of New Democratic Voters Who Support Socialism and Want the Constitution Destroyed While Stealing Your Tax Dollars.
Thank you, asshole democrats. My parents were immigrants who started a business and made sure their children were educated. Guess what? They didn't need the government to hand them bags of other people's money to do it.
This is such bullshit.
Illeagal Alien? Nah, too mean spirited.
Undocumented Worker? Better...
New American? Perfect!
People lose their jobs so immigrants can open up businesses? What in the living fuck is he thinking? Are you serious? You want to open a business, who's stopping you? We have to make a new department?
It's a fucking miracle blood isn't running through the streets.
---not a cop
Did that about sum it up?
7/21/2011 01:17:00 AM
Yep. Unbelievable isn't it?
---not a cop
If I was a new immigrant, I'd be thinking what kind of fucked up country did I move to that fires people to start a new department.
Sounds like the plot of a Marx Brothers movie.
625 City Workers who probably all voted for Gary Chico, if they voted at all, to replaced by a privaized Daley Crime Family connected company employees who will be told how to vote.
When will cops figure this out an register and vote in mass.
When will FOP make a major effort to get rid of voter appathy in our ranks.
Does anyone believe that this is anything but a drive to build up democratic voters with the 2012 election coming up and obama shitting peach stones?
If you do, you're as soft as puppy shit.
New Americans = Still Illegal...But let's give them even more free money that they haven't earned or deserve. F**k this city, county, state and country!!!! I got my 12gauge and am loaded to the gills w/ 00 Buck. Call me when the revolution starts...
I'm sorry, but I am a small businessman who has to fight with City Hall every time I want something legitimate because of all of the "employees" in zoning, permits, and "check to see if he's someone's friend". That adds months to every process which is supposed to be simple.
By comparison, when I go to the small villages in Lake County for my clients, or for a building permit for a residence in the country which requires a permit for work, it generally takes between 2 weeks and 30 days.
Naperville now has the process down to 2 weeks - for almost everything, so long as the permit application and plans are submitted by e-mail.
I agree with a lot of the issues raised by Emmanuel, but NOT with special treatment for immigrants.
Our families were ALL immigrants at one time. Mine is French, Italian, German, Irish, English, Spanish, Canadian, and Native American.
While the adults spoke many different languages in their respective homes, when in public, they always spoke ENGLISH - the non-official language of the United States.
If we are going to do something for the immigrants, then how about making them all learn English, teaching their children English in grade school, and making them become Americans!
Plain and simple, this new office has been created for one ethnic group, latinos.
It's strickly to gather political support for the democrats in 2012.
Speaking asa son of an immagrant that entered here legally and has never been on the dole, I have to ask: REALLY?
I was wrong, I thought Rahm would be sending his kids to Latin or Francis Parker. Instead he is sending them to the University of Chicago Lab School. They can visit with Uncle Shorty before classes.
By immigrants, I hope he meant the ones who are here because they followed the legal process to obtain a resident alien card.
Personally, I would rather give them an opportunity to better their lives, than wasting money on those who have been here all their lives "demanding" handouts. You know, the ones that can work , but sit on their asses all day...
I love to see people who come here legally with nothing and make something of themselves...the American dream is still there...just not with these dogasses
“Last Friday, I had to make one of those tough choices,” he wrote
Oh, Puuuulease!
Well now there are 625 fewer tax payers. Great. Now we have to pay more to cover what they aren't now...
Wanna save the city some money? Get rid of the $58,000 per year Community Organizers (C.A.P.S. Liaison people) What a waste of money.

A West Side man was killed when his motorcycle slammed into the metal support column of a CTA 'L' tracks, police said.

Rahmbo blows up on reporter. Shows temper.
Does that mean all the illegals that are vendors in 10 will now have to be registered with the city paying the proper fees.
Cuts at the government level too.
Wait until the police dept. reorganization hits this fall. You will probably see units consolidated and the loss of 1/3 of the exempts.
Yet another example of Rahm looking to the future. He is setting things up to grab the hispanic vote or at least say "look what I did for you".
Chicago/Illinois are going to be just like California. Illegals get EVERYTHING for free and the hard working, tax paying citizens like us, get it up our butts. Can't wait to get out of this city and state. They will make the middle class into the "poor" class soon.
He's got to secure future votes with amensity voter his buddy Obama will obtain for him via executive order. Very cost effective allow illegal now legal aliens to pay the democrats for permits and licenses. Now democrates claim job grow and business expansion because a thousand new struggling mexican restaurants open. Next year when they all fail democrats can still claim they are the "helping" party and most illegal can't read so will never understand they were set up to fail. Read the paper duh he just had the license division of the city restructured in order to make more money yet investigators are no longer out after dark.
Nice scam :) not everything a politician says is true "I'm spending money to help you" lol
how can the city hire but the police department can't. I dont understand.
Can you say "ONE TERM MAYOR"
F&%K It...I've had enough of this crap. I'm retiring today. I'm emigrating to Mexico and then I'm going to sneak back into the USA illegally and getting myself some of that democrat green! I'll let the taxpayers put my kids through school, provide our medical care, subsidize our section 8 apartment in the gold coast. I'm going to need one of those WIC cards too. The best part is my kids can leap frog right over all your hard working, intelligent overachieving kids with their newly acquired minority status, so no problem getting a free college education, government job or contracts. I think I'll hit a few of those immigration rallies while I'm at it and find me some young, hot undocumented milf and pop out an anchor baby or two just to lock ourselves into the gravy train. The only hard part is going to be forgetting the english language.
Proof you don't have to pay taxes to vote!
I started a small business not long ago. Before I could even get my feet off the ground, I had the city and state on my ass like a pack of hyenas looking for money. I wound up just letting it go. Too bad Im a natural born citizen I guess
Sure don't do that crap in Arizona. Where I am awaiting to retire in about 2 years.
Watching their news reports in Arizona is funny too. They don't hide crime. Showed 2 people getting tased yesterday during arrest. Great to watch. You will never see that video in Chicago!!
Do you people realize he said immigrants and
Not illegals! I hate this m-effer too but as son
Of immigrants myself, and a lot of us are wether
1st, 2nd 3rd generation, and as a small business
Owner, I welcome the opportunity!
I wanted to start a business some years ago. Tho Hoops that I dad to jump through were amazing.
How does a immigrant come to chicago and start a business??
If Im not mistaken dont community based orginizations already exist to assist the newly arrived types?
So why the duplication? Seems like a waste of money to me.
I know I am going to get knocked for this..but IF this program is for LEGAL immigrants and ALL immigrants then I think it's a great idea. Small business is the heart of this country and could pull this city out of it's own mess!
Why doesn't the mayor start with laying off 25 aldercreatures ???? He would save at least $25 million right there !!!
Wow! What was i thinking working for a living. All I have to do is refuse to speak english, renounce my citizenship and quit my job. That way the govt. Will give me free money, free healthcare, a place to live, a link card so I can get free booze at any south side "grocery" store, and now rhamboner is even going to help me start a business so that I can hire all my Latin king buddies to sell ice cream and drugs. The best part is, I'm still not gonna pay taxes. Woo hoo!!!
I used to live in a nice neighborhood. Now my neighborhood is overflowing with section 8 scumbag west and south side gang bangers, parolees and sex offenders illegals who don't speak English and don't pay taxes. Thanks Daley, thanks democrats, and thanks rham. Love you!
Great job rahm just what we need welcome potential terrorists you jag!

you have to read between the lines...''new americans''== future democratic voters. papa o is gonna give them their freedom. duo citizenship and the almighty voting card. sounds like our leaders are more concerned with the non tax payers than the taxpayers..more socialist propaganda.
You cannot beat the Peoples Democratic Republic of Chicago, but this country still offers us what no other country does. It let's you vote with your feet. If you decide not to do it now then please turn off the lights when you do. Wait, what lights, we have ComEd, nevermind. Another failed social experiment, Chicago.
Hey! Did you say that you wanted change? Then you got it!
I hope the guys getting pink slips are the same guys that voted for him..
Sincerely
G. Chico
Heh..
Q. What defines a country?
A. Borders, Language, and Culture.
We gave up the borders.
The borders are wide open and we grant sanctuary, allow zones of impunity and authorize immunity from prosecution to all the illegal immigrants that are willing to flaunt the laws to come here.
Don't ask them a question like who they are or where are they from. Why that's profiling!
We are giving up the language.
Once here in the sanctuary city we are suppose to cater to the immigrants.
Learn their language or be labeled as a racist. We the taxpayers bear the burden of producing bi-lingual documents, forms and publications on how to apply for taxpayer aid. Not to mention the number of officers running from one end of the district to the other to intemperate some baby mama drama or some other crap.
Yeah...We pay for that and then use officer sick time as a distraction on budget issues.
That brings us to culture.
We are being forced to adapt and accept the illegal immigrants culture.
If we have no borders and people can come in and do whatever they like -- with even the president of the United States being apologetic excusing their law breaking activities....and we have to adapt and learn their language because they are unwilling or unable to learn our language...well what kind of culture does that create?
Yeah...just look around.
We have no country. Our borders are not protected, Our language is not protected and our culture is not protected in spite of all the taxes being paid to do so.
What are we paying taxes for?
Oh..immigrants need to be given special treatment because 50% of them may open a business?
How does that help the people here that don't speak their language.
We already have places where you can't get a job because you don't speak Spanish or Polish or German or some Asian language. So the jobs being created by these people create an underground economy free from taxes and this is what the political apparatus wants to promote as virtuous and to glorify?
Oh look the racist immigrants are starting businesses for the people that speak their language (encouraging more illegal immigration) Isn't that nice.
Why doesn't he layoff 25 of 50 alderman
as well. That would cut about $25 mil. off
the budget shortfall. With their salary, their
staff (family) and their stipends a lot more
of the budget crises can be resolved.
How do I get myself immigrant status?
Wow, layoff veteran workers to support immigrants' desires.
I can't get out of this hellhole fast enough.
As in the past I do believe the $700 million $ deficit might not be so large after all. Chicago mayors have always had that "vault" in the basenment of City Hall where they store big suitcases of money earmarked for projects that they want. Most of it has been promised out to connected contractors, lawyers, and the rest of their ilk. Notice how Rham has money for his projects that he wants to do but no money for the low level city employees he intends to get rid of. Certainly he found a six figure bundle of cash to hire the woman from LA to be the newly created job of police mouthpiece. SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Most of the jobs at Streets & Sanitation are going to be gone in a couple of years. ALL garbage and recyle are going private. And YES the homeownwers will pick up the tab just like in the suburbs. And NO your taxes won't go down on your property. The only thing the Daley Crime Family and the Rhamster have not taxed yet is the air we breathe every day. Bet they are working on that one.
Ladies and Gentlmen -- It's Rahmbo-Mambo Number Five time...

Isn't there some taxpayer organization out there willing to sue the City of Chicago for using our tax dollars for people who are NOT EVEN CITIZENS.
Why is it acceptable to threaten to lay off city workers because there is NO MONEY, but there's plenty of dollars around when the politicians want to pander for votes.
Allowing ILLEGAL INVADERS to cast votes in City and County elections is bullshit and its GOT TO STOP!!!
OH THIS IS UTTER BULLSHIT!
There you have it people!
We are about to be over-run as these will be the new democratic voters for Rahm's 2012 or 2016 run.
THIS is why he's here! To keep the Trotskyite democommie-crats formly entrenced in Chicago by artificially swelling the voting rolls with these fucking parasites.
SO THAT'S THE PLAN BEHIND THIS SANCTUARY CITY BULLSHIT?
What muthafuckahs do and still sleep at night!
So...
This is how Bowie, Crockett and the others felt at the Alamo?
Some day Police Officers will start voting in elections. That is the only way to have change. There are probably more "illegals" that vote than us.

That's right up there with the "Pebbles" I saw on a case report once.

Illegal immigrant yourself? Or just another CPS graduate???
WTF?
At 0705, the Dept of Revenue ticket writers are hot on the trail of cars parked on my street in violation of Street Cleaning.
NO street sweeper ever shows up. So they're burning the taxpayers for the violation and NOT providing the service?
Is this what we can expect from ALL of our city services?
Oh, that's right... we're paying for police protection and they put up cameras and don't hire police officers!
We're paying for beaches, but they close them for excessive heat or fog!
We're paying for Aldermen to represent us and we get a rubber stamp for the Mayor's current scams!
We're paying for garbage pick-up and now they're floating the idea of picking up every TWO weeks instead of weekly!
We're paying for snow removal "experts" to keep Chicago's midwest winter streets clean and we get a recycled, ex-cop, relative of Daley, padding his pensions and shutting down our biggest highway, Lake Shore Drive, in a snow storm!
What a laughing stock we have become!... Home of blatantly corrupt elected official, jailed Governor's and no help or jobs for the working class, but BILLION$ to throw at the inept parenting, family destroying, baby breeding welfare loafers who won't lift a finger to help themselves or anyone else, for that matter!
Oh, yeah, and illegal invaders from other countries!
Question: If the City is going to privatize many city services such as garbage and snow removal etc. what is going to happen to all the city workers who currently hold positions with these agencies?
Its really sad that the city worker has somehow been made to be a villian because of budgetary screwups that none of them caused. Weird way to treat your employees.
Does a Corn Cart or Roadside Vegetable Truck qualify for a city small business loan? What about another nail salon in Uptown or Somali taxi company?
Doesn't the Fed's Small Business Association (SBA) provide for this? Oh wait, it's just for U.S. 'citizens'....but I'm sure that'll 'Change'.
And isn't ObamaCare bad for small business anyway?
I do recall someone in the Familia Daley getting upwards in $50 million in "small business loans" for investments that went sour and the SBA was only able to collect about 30% of that was owed.
And what about the Mayoral candidate who had a failing Tea company, how much tax money did that reap, IRS didn't collect a dime from that $200'K business loss write-off.
Holy Elote !
can it get any more disgusting, more insulting, more immoral....re: government supporting illegal immigrants?...
How else will you get all those new democrat votes? You have to give them money that you take from Americans with jobs and make them vote against gun rights and low taxes so that they can live in a city where criminals get away with murder.
Just start calling this what it is already. Communists who were elected by less than 24% of the city population giving away our tax dollars to illegals so they can destroy our country, culture, language and way of life.
"The new office -- The Office of New Americans -- will "drive the other pieces," said Emanuel, including licensing and permitting, and will make sure immigrants feel welcome and are aware of the services available to them."
This being a Sanctuary City, I'm sure the O.N.A. will just gloss over Question 1, about immigration status, and make with the benefits.
Has any one heard the Academy on Jackson Blvd is going be used as a shelter and center for homeless and illegals.Rahm said he had no use for it in the near future so let them have it.
How about installing spell check on here? Can it be done.I'm a cop and you know how well we spell.
Mayor Rham can send his kids to school anywhere he wants. He is a wealthy man and chose the U of Chicago Lab School for his kids. Many Cop and Fire send their kids to private school also. Problem is they are not rich and must work extra jobs to put their kids through school And no break on your property taxes. As one of my old partners always said..."You send them to public school and they eat the book covers and lick the pages".

That's right folks , the Socialist DemocRAT party is showing its true self. We will lay off and terminate working, tax paying Americans so we may spend millions of your money, on Illegal Immigrants and support them in getting jobs and starting businesses (tax exempt of course, so they are not burdened).

Don't kid yourself bonehead , it's the ILLEGAL immigrants who he is refering to. Thats where he got the % numbers from.
Recently read in NYT that "people's compliance with IRS requirements reflect their ethnic cultural background expectations" further clarifying that this means that if tax-payers' native country has a high tolerance for tax-cheating, then that same payment philosophy is applied to their tax compliance here in USA. So, if your native country tolerates tax cheats (think Eastern Europe, Eastern and Southeastern Asia, Africa, etc) then you're likely to be a tax cheat here too. Then consider the amount of LINK fraud, tax fraud, residency fraud, INS fraud, etc. here in Chicago, and you understand situation. Living large in Chicago..
