Rahm's All Ethical Now
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday dumped Chicago’s entire Board of Ethics to prepare for the new role envisioned by his Ethics Reform Task Force: as powerful judge and jury punishing violators of the city’s ethics ordinance.
“I wanted to start with a new energy and a new commitment by a totally new board — all of ’em with the type of professionalism and commitment to raising the ethical standards, conduct and oversight in city government,” Emanuel said.
“With these reforms ... residents have a clear view of what they pay for, and elected officials have a clear view of who they work for,” he said.
The mayoral house-cleaning would replace all seven members of a Board of Ethics famous for never having taken action against a Chicago alderman during an era when dozens went to jail on federal corruption charges.
Funny, we don't recall him being so "ethical" when he was pulling in his $11-million-plus payday doing little to no work for a connected power company scheduling meetings and such. But people can change, right?

CHICAGO and ETHICS are mutually exclusive. It's the Chicago Way.
To say Rahmbellina is ethical is like saying Michael Vick is a card-carrying member of PETA.
"But people can change, right?"
Hope & Change, that's what it's all about!
I'm hoping for change come November!
Ok, so now can we dump the entire Independent Police Review Authority?
more hot air from shitty hall
Ethics and the dummycratic regime at City Hall don't mix....never did.
Do those ethics involve denying Chick-Fil-A the right to do business because you disagree with their opinions? Those kind of communist party ethics? Fuck you, little dictator. We're Americans and love freedom.
Not to mention his half-million or more working 6 months for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Same thing. It's all legit.
"But people can change, right?"
sure they can.
i see them change all the time.

"The Board's first action was to remove the Mayor from office as he was improperly allowed to remain on the ballot even though he did not meet the residency requirements.
The Mayor appeared shocked as he packed his office into boxes and placed them in the cellar next to his wife's wedding dress."
The Ethics Board chanted "You're next" to the Alderman wiping tears from their eyes in the hall.
....after last night's debate, I can dream can't I?
With these reforms ...
Yeah.... "reforms"..... how much more blatant could "reforms" in Emanuelspeak now be than, fire the fuckers I didn't hire and replace them with my fucking friends so THEY can get a piece of the pie I promised them.
Fucking "reform". More Republican cronyism bullshit from the top runtfuck bullshitter hired by the libtards who couldn't see this two faced motherfucker coming from miles away.
And yes, these lame fucks won't do a god damn thing to root out corruption either, not unless the FED is already on to something, at which time runtfuck Emanuel will be notified and he can then send his fuckin' buddies over to sniff it out and try to take credit for other people's work.
Fire everbody appoint your own stooges and dictate who what and where ya know kinda like the Madigans right..............
Probably some more indictments forthcoming. Rahm is just doing what Daley did 7 years ago, present a perception of transparency. It's time to drag Daley & Burke before a judge...that wasn't appointed by them, of course.
$18Million Rahm ... you go boy
it's ALL legit
Ethics from the the lying little prick who had the unmitigated Gaul to say I am a resident of the city of Chicago even though to get a hold of me you'd have to call .Washington, D.C. To talk."... That lying prick? Fuck him!
Don't forget Rahm's profitable, although short, career where he made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort. All while the housing bubble was inflating thanks in large part to Freddie Mac and Fannie May.
The new word for today children is “HYPOCRISY”.
Democrats and ethics - what a joke
Please, please, please tell me that I will no longer have to fill out those stupid fucking Board of Ethics statements every year. NO I do not do business with the city! The whole time the fat cat alderman and their cronies steal money from the city as usual. Leave me alone...I'm BORED OF ETHICS!!!!!!!
lets see the transparency! open the books and let us taxpayers see where the money is! if your so ethical.
Rahmballenia get rid of 30 alderman , save millions and you cut down on work for IG to investigate corruption
The runt is suffering from delusions if he really thinks chicagoans did anything but laugh at this latest
rahmunist edict.
Chicago city hall/ethics mix as well as oil & water.
Pass the kool aid runt !!!!! This is as beleiveable as telling us that shortshanks entered the Chicago Marathon and that the LasVegas Books favor him to win the event.
This new "ethics board" does not apply to the runt and his 50 dwarfs.
What happened to all of our Obama Bucks????
Don't tell me Obama gave IL nothing!!
Fucking thieves
he made 18 million working for fannie mae, and what exactly did he do? it you poke around some more, you could find out.
The real questions need to be how far from Chicago did he have to go to get people who are actually qualified to sit on an ethics board and is that considered "outsourcing?"
ECS
the one thing you must remeber
Murphy's Law:
When ever Management Talks About Improveing Effecientcy& Productivity They Are Never Talking About Themselves
in short You must be more "productive" you must be more effecient"Tiny Dancer means You
the aldermen wouldnever accept kickbacks for letting a rush street tavern have a sidewalk cafe when the street is too narrow
or a illegal nightclub be open on madison street remeber the one where they told the cops You Don't Know Who Your Dealing With?
( Like A regular beat cop gives a rat's ass)
kind of hard to "ethical" when so many are going down cause of FBI investigations( why didn't Andy Dirty Shirt Shaw jump on the is? where was the BGA?
(chasing a first ammendment around maybe?)
Ok ethics people. You let me slide on residency. Now get the fuck out
OT obama had no record to run on ,
did everyone notice how he failed to make eye contact with Mitt and kept looking at moderator with eyes of a scared person saying help me . more stories of hope and change , nothing else .
Mayor Righteous should flex his ethical muscle by ending former Mayor Daley's and alderman Burke's security details. Wait. I forgot. "We're a city of broad shoulders and big hearts."...and bottomless pockets evidently. Pass me the vomit bucket!
Harumph "We got to save our phoney balony jobs"hey Mc Carthy I didn't get a Harumph out of you" --ethics my ass
ethics 101: okay, class, let's practice wrapping a fish in a newspaper and sending it to someone we disagree with....
Why You No Listen to Rahm Emanuel?
He's so smart. He is. He is..

By RAHM EMANUEL
The Chicago area has near 10% unemployment, but more than 100,000 unfilled jobs. Like the rest of the country, Chicago suffers from a skills gap that undermines our economic competitiveness and threatens our future prosperity.
***
For example, AAR Corp., an aviation-parts manufacturer in the Chicago area, has 600 job openings for welders and mechanics but can't find skilled workers to fill them...
====================
Exhibit "B"
By Gregory Karp Tribune reporter
3:02 p.m. CDT, October 4, 2012
Layoffs of American Airlines mechanics and groundworkers, about 2,000 of whom work at Chicago O'Hare, have been reduced by 80 percent, as many took early retirements and severance packages, the Transport Workers Union said Thursday.
==============================
So-called shortage solved.
Early retirements?
No, forced layoffs. We call them early retirements because there's an election next month and we don't want to eff-up the unemployment stats with the truth
Early retirements?
Unless of course AAR Corp and Rahm was full of sh*t. Or AAR Corp doesn't want to hire "older workers" because of a potential health care claim or doesn't want to pay them a fair wage.
Yep, just 10 short months from the time Rahm made his speech about shortages and how workers should enroll for re-training at the city colleges, just ten months later, there's a glut.
Good luck my friends. Good luck trying to compete with all the layoff-ee's with tons of real world actual experience.
Using fear of being left behind is what we call using the crisis. Have you even received your tuition bill yet?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I want the 50 Aldermen to submit a TO/FROM to the taxpayers showing their activities for each month!
All I hear is Rahm dictating how it's going to be and they're bobbing their heads in agreement.
What good are they?
What have the Aldermen suggested? Anyone?
To bar Chick-Fil-A from opening a restaurant, putting people to work and generating some tax revenue?
Brilliant!
Did any of them even March with the other 199 people in the end the violence march with the Street Friars?
HAHAHAH.
Like the Chicago Inspector Generals office. You call his office and hear: "Oh no we don't investigate that kind of thing"
Yeah go efff yourself basically.
Boys, boys, boys,,
We have to go after these disabled people with disabled parking restrictions in front of there homes.
Do you realize that we are probably losing as much as $10K per year in parking permit/fine/fee money because of this...MAYBE EVEN MORE!!!
So how much is the cities 2013 budget deficit now? $300 mil - $10K == "X"
Okay, okay..we got $299,990,000.00 to go. Get McCarthy in here and give me the To/From and ticket count reports. We may need to raise the quotas.
Where Rahm be at?
I wanna hear again about the great things Motorola's move to down town Chicago is gonna bring.

"But people can change, right?"
Perhaps Rahm is "just about to turn his life around."
Ok ethics people. You let me slide on residency. Now get the fuck out
