301
- If you ignored the winter overnight parking restrictions on some Chicago streets last night, you may be one of the 301 owners whose vehicles were towed for violating the ban.
At least 301 vehicles were towed on the first night of the parking restrictions. The ban hours, from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m., started early today and were enforced along 107 miles of the major streets.
Last year, 188 vehicles were towed on the first day of the ban, officials said.
Just based on the 50% increase in cars hooked, we're going to go out on a limb and say that the City isn't short tow truck operators.

YAY The Christmas Office Party money is here!!!!
TOW ALL THE THINGS!
This will send a broken windows message to those shooters eh.
$60 ticket and $160 tow...that's a quick $66,220. Not bad for a night's work. Now, how does Rammie spend that dough??? Sounds like Maggie Park is getting another jungle gym from Vanecko Playground Equipment Co.!!!!!!!
Rahm has until December 31 to lease Midway airport
Here's where the money is supposed to go:
Public Act 094-0750
Section 20. Use of lease proceeds by lessor.
(a) With respect to any leased facility property used for
airport purposes, at least 90% of the net proceeds of the lease
shall be expended or obligated by the lessor municipality for:
(i) the construction and maintenance of infrastructure
within the municipality;
(ii) contributions to pension funds created for
municipal employees; or
(iii) any combination of (i) or (ii).
(b) The amount of net proceeds expended or obligated for
item (ii) in subsection (a) may not exceed the amount of net
proceeds expended or obligated for item (i) in subsection (a).
As used in this Section, "net proceeds" means the gross
proceeds less any debt service payments on, and payments to
retire, debt that is specifically associated with the leased
facility property or otherwise required to be paid out of lease
proceeds.
Standing by:
Watch for details from Pension Reps Lappe, Wright ------ I'm only kidding, you know there is no money coming to us! There's probably an amendment in the works to use Duty Availability Pay to hire new recruits.
must a record.rahm is a fucking ghoul.daley must be laughing.
Some would call the numbers of cars towed last night a 'cash bonanza!'
$150 for the tow. Ticket probably $60. That makes it $63,210 for your winner Rahm Emanuel!
Come on lets all go down to tjhe city and pay to park on the streets. HMMM Lets see Dinner $200.00. After dinner drinks
$100.00. Parking fee, ticket, and possible Tow $ 170.00. Eating in the suburbs with no money to the city proceless.
Hell ya they are short tow drivers... just not on Dec 1st.
Anyone who has lived in the city knows about the parking ban, It's all the out of town hayseeds.
Those are hired out tow trucks, private, not city trucks...Who has that contract?
rahmbo probably creamed in his pants when he heard about this--- plenty of money to put in his little honey pot--- anyone noticing the speed limit signs going up by select schools with the camera attached, looks like the speed cameras are coming soon--- swiping to begin in january or february for the cpd--- equipment and supply is distributing plastic buckets and boxes of kleenex to all units so when the crying starts none of the police stations get flooded---- everyone now has to work 9 hours, you will swipe id and hand scan in and out every tour of duty....
What a bunch of BS. Every year there is a big deal made about DEC 1 tows, then when it really snows nobody gets towed. I drove Ashland from the Ike to 4000 N for 25 years and the snow covered cars were lined up next to the curb untouched. Don't get me started on the stupid flower boxs in the middle of the street either.
These were all cars of counter revolutionaries. They must pay the Party.
All Hail Rahm!
Can you imagine what great shape we would be in if the city,county,state and US governments were forensically audited for waste, abuse,corruption and fraud ? That would be too easy though. Midway money will never be seen for pensions.

What about Mike Shields, come on kid wake up from your long slumber, get the Irish drunks around you ready, you have not spoken about the health care the city is taking from retires, is this the big screw we will be getting? What about the coppers retiring 55 and out are they covered? Is this rahm master plan, and Mike are you part of the scam? You ran for the office many voted for you, believing your bullshit, and now anything? Any contract updates? Any pension news? Anything? You are accountable to God and he entire membership, where are you? Personally I am like many others so disgusted with you and you team of overpaid hacks! Speak up, your like a scared little girl in per-school!
Heh...
The news stations, papers and radio stations USED to give a heads-up about the overnight ban...
Rahm al Ghoul said, "shhhh!"
No its only $160 to get your car out. I forgot about the ban and had my car towed. All you do I pay the tow fee no ticket.
301 idiots giving free money to rahm for some corrupted city contract.
Don't forget the extra "storage fees" and all the other bullshit charges that will be assessed before the vehicles will be returned. The owners will be out almost $300 in the end.

Did you know that the retirees are not represented by the FOP? Not per contract at any rate. Only active are covered by the contract and two groups of retirees, 55 and out and 60 and over. Retirees are represented by the pension board. FOP keeps retirees informed and does certain things but it is a courtesy.
55 and out and 60 and out are covered by contract with free health insurance till Medicare eligible. It is in the contract. Others are not.
Those who retired before 60 or the 55 and out thing or at age 50 to 54 are on their own. They are covered by Korshak.
The FOP is not paying for lawyers to handle the retirees health care under Korshak. That is being handled by Clinton Krislov of Krislov Law. He gets paid when they win . They do class action work and the potential payout for them can be substantial. They took on the retirees case on spec, for free, their pay is if/when they win and they won under Korshak. Now on to the next round.

Those are the Maggie Daley boxes.
Rahm gave away the NATO!
If u noticed he gave a school in Munoz's ward(yep his daddy is a federal felon) cash.
Rahm will hand the cash to Alderman who don't agree with him on issues as subtle bribes.
Currently they're six Alderman who are hassling the mayor they will all be bought out!
or it could have been used to by squad cars or books for kids to read in the closed library's
04:30 Who pays them if they win? I'm a retiree and I never hired them so why would I have to pay them. I think you have no idea of what you are talking about
I know no retirees received a bill after the last agreement in 2003 that lasted 10 years
NO SNOW NO TOW!
We will need a Robin Hood soon?
Why pay taxes for streets and parks if you can't use them?

better yet , that money could hasve been used to fix , service and or update the crappy equipment that just gathers dust in the squad cars (pdt), but if you listened closely that 1 million dollars will give ( minimum wage) job opportunities to at least 1000 kids. Geez, 1000 kids? from 1 million dollars? I'm no math whiz but if you have 1 million dollars and all you're hiring is 1000 at minimum wage...... where does the rest of the money go, or better yet in whose pocket?
HEY RAHM ,, ITS ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN?????????????? YA RIGHT!!!

at least for E&R towing who has the contract with the city. they make millions off the tows every year especially when the winter tows start coming in... but no one seems to say anything about that either
There's probably an amendment in the works to use Duty Availability Pay to hire new recruits.

noooo, there's probably demands in the works to rid of duty availability from our contract and uniform allowance. remember rhambo wants concessions and we're on the table now.. mark my words we're going to lose alot in this new contract whenever they get around to it and don't look for an arbitrator to favor us in any way, we had already lost the 1st arbitration when the city forcasted an emergency a year ahead of time for nato by not allowing us furlough bids back during the 5b period, and dont forget the last ( now expired contract) arbitrator ruled in favor for the city when the contract was extended to 5 years instead of keeping it at 4 !! we should seriously consider ridding ourselves of the fop and going with Teamsters or PBA
Retiree health care issue is being handled by a firm that deals in consumer protection and class actions. Check out their website. www.krislovlaw.com. lets hope that the retired workers of the city of Chicago are not buried by the current mayor when the health care agreement expires in June 2013.
JAGOFF FUCKING RHAM AND CITY ,people in some locations of this shit city have no place to park but on the main street.
