Shortshanks Cash Dump

He either had to take it and pay taxes on it, or donate it. Seeing as how he's set for life after steering so many crooked contracts to politically connected firms, one that he works for, this wasn't surprising:
  • Former Mayor Richard M. Daley made an unusual and unusually generous gesture on Wednesday, donating more than half a million dollars from his former campaign fund to various Chicago charities and other organizations.
  • Daley’s donations from his former campaign fund, totaling more than $500,000 went to places like After School Matters, the Maggie Daley Center for Women’s Cancer Care at Prentice Women’s Hospital, Lurie Children’s Hospital, Misericordia, the Children of the Crossroads Foundation, the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, the Widows’ & Children’s Assistance Fund established by retired firefighters, and Sweet Beginnings.
The CPD and CFD Charities each got $10,000 - the least of any donation made by a mayor who hated our guts from the word go.

We're sure the Memorial Funds were appreciative and will spout some platitudes about "working with the mayor" and some other such nonsense. And ten grand will do some good. But we remember what it was really like.

Daley is just trying to polish his turd of a legacy.

I applaud SCC for posting this so-called sentiment of our former mayor for what it really is. With his reported $183,000 per year pension, his contract as a speaker for the U of C (for someone who regularly murdered the English language) his 'business' with his son, and his employment with the law firm that brokered the infamous parking contract we're stuck with as city residents for the next 70+ years (with Daley's employment with that law firm likely a violation of those ethics statements we all have to sign every year), Daley certainly didn't need the measly half mil left behind in his old campaign fund.
What a piece of shit.

I'll bet if you checked, you could probably find his evil spawn and operatives from the Daley Crime family sitting on the Board of Directors of most of these connected "charities".

Looks like all those Daley enablers have their next Christmas bonus waiting for them, in advance. I'm sure Patrick Daley and Nora Daley Conroy will see plenty of that cash appear in their 401K's.

I wonder how much of it made it's way into Dan Webb's "campaign fund" as a little incentive to go easy on Daley nephew and murderer R.J. Vanecko... After all, the Daley's don't go to prison, right?

O/T: on "Law & Order, SVU" last night, they were investigating a university that was suppressing rape allegations from a frat house. At one point, Det. Benson asked out loud if the school "was cooking the numbers for CompStat." The secret is out!

Isn't After School Matters a slush fund? Companies wanting liquor licenses or zoning favors from the city contribute to this. Mistresses and girlfriends of city hall bigshots get high paying, no show jobs at After School Matters.

Retired, but still thinking like a cop says...
I suspect an ulterior motive.
Either a cover-up for the OTHER $500K, that was spent according to the article, or some mitigation in a possible legal problem looming in the future that he is aware of for a family member, or shortshanks himself.
Stay tuned.

Dirty Money from the man who has ownership of 90% of what ails this city and state?

CPD and CFD charities should very publicly say "thanks but we're good, here's your money back."

Notice how he AND his son are never in the country long enough to let the disinfecting powers of exposure to sunlight hit their asses.

They're always darting from doorway to doorway in East Europe & West Asia wearing turned-up overcoats and pulled down fedoras while talking up their sleeves with assorted Boris Badenov types on some credulity straining, smell-test failing, nebulous, shadowy, slippery as shit through a Garfield Park goose, "trade mission."

The game they're playing is called, "Hide Da Money!"

Just killin' time until the wind-up, hollow-assed Manchurian Candidate in the Oval Office cuts some presidential pardons at 2350 Hrs on the night of 19 January 2016.

The same time that a bunch of DOJ files regarding the high performance fuckery of Daley Inc. and Rahm & Co. are supposed to be carefully placed in a fireplace...

...Known only to God Almighty.

Slightly O/T but amusingly relevant:

Scum-times online has an article about about Gov. Jello putting a brick on state funding to UNO charter schools because of revelations regarding financial hanky panky of the usual Chicago sort in which connected insiders get rich while the usual powers are, for yet some unstated reason, fixated on pimp-walking Policemen backwards to ca. 1900 earning power and benefits.

Didn't Rahm say that charter schools were the path to salvation for CPS?

Aren't Rahm and the main actors behind the charter movement solely fixated on destroying CTU and turning the whole of CPS into a for wholly for profit entity?
Regardless of how many kids they'll end up hurting to accomplish that?

Is money being funneled to Rahm by UNO to drive the charter push?

Heh...

Didn't Rahm say most of the kids in CPS won't amount to anything and he didn't want to spend any more money on them?

>CRICKETS<

When Rahm landed in Chicago after his fall from "Heaven," (The White House) didn't it seem like he declared war on EVERYBODY except the Catered To Constituency and the people in the Gold Coast & North Shore cocktail party and fund raiser circuit?

What Daley may or may not have stolen in 20 years pales in comparison to the amount of dough the taxpayers had to dish out for the likes of Abbatte and other thugs. Besides after the last several years of busting balls, I'm surprised he coughed up a dime for the police.

Wrong, he stole way, way more. And, the money should be returned to him with a polite, but firm, no thank you. He is slime and you are in denial.

B. He got some real bad news from his doctors and he is trying to buy his way past St. Peter.

You, sir, are a fool. Or a Shortshanks apologist. He has stolen billions of dollars and bankrupted this city. The measly millions paid out for bullshit police misconduct pales in comparison to what that asshole did to this city.

Plus 1 like a mofo on your observation!

We Figured the same things...

Daley Is being "generous" now because either the Grim Reaper or The Feds are about to come a callin' on his decayed ass...

If it's the Feds? They might be looking break a little sump'n - sump'n off in his son's ass too.

Heh... Couldn't happen to nicer guys...

Meanwhile, people are STILL on that Daley Inc. and Rahm & Co. Axelrodian media propaganda BULLSHIT about how it's because of the "greedy" Coppers and Firemen won't play along and take pay cuts and pension give backs that the city is in a financial mess...

Rahm has announced over ONE BILLION in municipal spending initiatives while simultaneously trying to pimp-walk contract negotiations to a standstill and strip us of the right to collective bargaining and protection from those elected officials who perpetually grind an axe over the fact that Policemen have certain protections against the whims and caprices of the criminal-political class.

Why do you think their vicious attack dogs in local media have been on a non-stop campaign to dirty up The Police and separate them from the good will of what's left of Chicago's formerly formidable middle class?

There has been so much ink spilled about how "out of control" CPD is...

Yet on the same hand, there's a whole lot of "if we play dead, they won't eat us alive" going on regarding the political and media expedient of giving the entirety of this city over to savagery because the Catered To Constituency & Sanctuary City People/Folks is a monolithic Democratic vote that makes up 75% of this city's population and must have their asses kiss regardless of the fact that they contribute nothing positive to the quality of life in this city.

God Almighty do they contribute an overwhelming excess of pain, grief and aggravation.

Heh... The headlines only tell a fraction of the story.

Thus be it ever when a mayor and superintendent do everything they can to look the other way and the only answer they have is beating on the people who have sworn to answer the call...

Who's out of control in all of this?
