Big Hearts?

  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday defended his decision to cut in half — but still retain — the police bodyguard detail that accompanied former Mayor Richard M. Daley and his wife, Maggie, into retirement.

    Emanuel noted that he’s cutting the detail from six active officers to three and that two of those officers would be on call to take Maggie Daley to and from the hospital and to doctors visits.

    Maggie Daley has suffered a series of recent setbacks in her nearly 10-year battle against metastatic breast cancer.

    “While we are a city of big shoulders, we’re also a city of big hearts,” Emanuel told reporters at an unrelated news conference.

We had to take Grandma to the doctor the other day. We hired a Medi-car to do it. She worked for the city for many years, was actually on the payroll. Raised 5 kids, buried a husband, beat cancer once already. Where's her car and driver?

How many veterans are left to fend for themselves in this retarded City? Glad Maggie gets taken care of though. The CTA bus route from King Daley's abode to Northwestern is pretty easy...maybe the Daley family have earned free bus rides, but two police vehicles and publicaly funded, private chauffeurs? Nope!

You know what?

Where's old man Daley and why isn't he taking his lovely caring dedicated wife who's days on this planet are obviously numbered to the doctors himself?

He doesn't care?

Too busy trying to figure out how to exploit more money or rob more money from the taxpayers that are being pushed into poverty?

How much is enough? He who has the most stuff when they die wins I guess.

Man. This dude is going to go down in history as the Mayor of Greed.

You can't control your legacy anymore people.

The truth will be out there in Wikipedia or some other site. What do you want to be remembered for...in your wives final days you made strangers drive her to the doctor because you were busy getting more money...money...money..more..more..more

Think about it.

Just tell Old Grandma to hail a cab and pay the fare. I couldn't believe what came out of Emmanuel's mouth concerning the Daley family. These folks have money. They have more money coming in every month. Much more than most of us. Looks to me like Richie could take Maggie by the arm and get into a cab for the ride to the hospital. I have nothing against Mrs. Daley and feel sorry for her health problems but give me a break! How about Patrick lending a hand. He has stolen enough money from the city to be able to take Ma and Dad for their doctor visits. This entire thing is so crazy. I can't think of any other city that caters to retired officials like us.

All of you who voted so many times for Daley created this ruling class of "Irish Royalty". We are subjects of Da King, Boss Daley. The children are too involved in trivial matters, so the servants (police) can care for mum. Consider that cops have acted as servants for Daley's entire life. They would drive him to school and pick him up when his dad was Mayor. These people feel as entitled as welfare recipients. Another example of how Rahm is a puppet of the real puppet master, Bill Daley.

It was a red herring all along. He asked for 6 when he really wanted 2 or three. That way when it was cut down people would say "oh that's more reasonable" when reality is it's still not reasonable to give an ex mayor protection and especially not reasonable for his wife.
She no more special then any other city worker who has cancer. In fact she was never a city worker. She was on some boards she had no qualifications to be on. She had a wing named after her a hospital and her daughter got a clout job that she wasn't qualified for either so that's her reward. Why is she the only wife of an ex mayor who gets police escorts to the hospital.
Rahm says " we are also the city that has a heart" I bet there's plenty of teachers who disagree.

I feel very sorry for Mrs. Daley's health problems, but wouldn't an ambulance be a better choice of transport to a hospital?

Thank you everyone for not making me feel like an insensitive asshole. As soon as I heard Rahm's story about taking Maggie to the Doc's - a almost choked on my morning coffee. My first thought was "is she the first spouse of a city worker (or anyone) to have cancer?" Why is she getting special treatment. How many of our husbands, wives, children have been extremely and we've not been given the opportunity to have them taken by district coppers for treatment and not have to use our time to do it? Don't get me wrong, I've always liked Mrs. Daley and I'm very sorry for everything she is going through. But this is nonsense.

I have a parent that worked for the city for over 30 years, and I am quite sure He gave more of his heart to this city than Ms. Maggie, and for far less compensation. it is time to end this. The Littleman and his lady deserve no more than any other citizen of this great city. STOP THE BS.

Send the police back to do real Police work and you guy go out and hire a security firm from Chicago to do your private security work. You will be putting Police Officer back to the streets where they belong and you will be hepling the unemployment situation by hiring personal, there by creating jobs.

And while you are doing this Mayor Emanuel, since you have all this money, why dont you do what the Mayor of New York does, give up your salary and work for a dollar. Take the train to work, walk to some meeting. You like New York and how it works so much you hired a Policer Superintendant from there insead of from with in the Chicao Police Depts own ranks.

Keep using the police as personal servant's you p.o.s. maybe once maggie is outta the picture the Fed's will then go after Dick Daley himself for selling this city off, and how much in off shore bank account's again Dicky... If anybody has the money it's him to hire a private security detail and yet tax payers are on the hook for it.

OK, media we know you read this blog, so can someone start letting out how under staffed this city is to host the G8 Nato Summit? Is this Obama's last great gift to the tax paying citizens of chicago, a destroyed city? We have zero leadership, yes there are people in positions but there is no respect for them as they never earn there spots they were given. we have no training, no equipment, bosses that have no accountability(and could care less), and we are tired, would this city stop with the parks and flowers for a few months and hire police already?

Well, my brother was a retired PO and he developed diabetis. HIs choice was go to a nursing home because insurance would not pay for an ambulance to take him 3x a week to dialysis. And he didn't have any police officers assigned to carry him to the doctor's office. He chose to go home and died a day and one half later. His choice.
Mrs. Daley has the same choice's because she isn't suppose to have police officers carry her anywhere. Not only shouldn't she have it, she doesn't appreciate it! Royalty mentality. Hire an ambulance service, go to a nursing home....or stay home and suffer the same choices we are given!

Why is one private citizen allowed benefits that other citizens do not receive . Daley makes well over 200,000 a year and has 2 part time jobs . He can afford to pay for security if he feels threatened.

Rahm has no compassion for other Chicagoans that need help taking their loved ones to a doctor or hospital .

Voters will remember this in 2012 and 2015 .

I also feel bad for her medical issues, what she has gone through I would not wish on anyone. That said, doesn't she have kids? A husband? Isn't that their job? To be there to hold her hand? Does shanks and the family go along for the ride? When my pal was going through his treatments for lymphoma, I drove him and his wife downtown for the sessions.

Sorry, but don't make this out like we don't feel sorry for her medical issues. We've all had relatives and friends who have suffered from terrible diseases. If you haven't, you are lucky. This has to do with a system of entitlement that is reserved for those in power. The Daley family is rolling in dough. They could hire a limo, or a private ambulance, or god forbid, buy a car and take her to the treatments. Just like I have done, you will do and so will everyone who is confronted with these issues. Except the Daley family.

Well, I have lost friends and family members to this disease and I truly feel for her and her family regarding the disease, but as a taxpayer I don't think I owe it to her to provide free POLICE and LIMO service to and from doctor visits... WTF? They make 4X the money I make, they can afford their own transportation, just like I have to do if I need to get to the doctor... it is outrageous to provide this service ..

Speaking of budget cuts...

So I'm reading about this brouhaha that Senator Jackson is having with a potential political challenger Halvorson set to possibly run against him ...and what surfaces is that fact that J.J Jr. moved his kids to D.C. to go to school there.

Now Jr has a wife and she is a Chicago aldermen....right?

Now if Jr is always in D.C. and he moved his kids to D.C. to go to school in D.C. as otherwise he would hardly be able to ever see them as he states...well isn't Ms Jackson, the Chicago aldermen, there in D.C. too?

Last time I checked the school year is 40 weeks long and if one stays in a State for an entire school year that would be over 50% of the time making you a resident of that State..

So where do you pay your taxes?

...and If she also is spending over 50% of her time in D.C. it just goes to show how bloated the city is with aldermen.

How can one argue that if you cut the number of alderman in the city the people in your ward would not get proper representation when the alderman isn't there 50% of the time?

Now... I don't know if this is the case here however if the alderman is gone 50% of the time I'm sure the city can do just fine with 49 aldermen. We may be halfway there already

Oh and so much for residency requirements and the trickle down economics of the aldermens paycheck flowing back down into the community that they serve.

Have fun with the taxpayers dollars from Chicago D.C. Woo-hoo

Cut it Rahm: 50 == 25

Example 1. If it was your RDO and an election day, you only got paid for 8 hours. I worked 20 hours at a poll and got fucked out of 12 hours OT by Hoghead Daley.

Example 2. If you were a detective you had no protection from being dumped. The areas would be called by 11th State and told give them x number of names to be launched. It was done without cause and happened on a regular basis. I hope all the Daleys go to hell.
