Sun Times Rehashing Old News
- Two off-duty Chicago beat cops.
Both busted nine years ago for assaults outside the city.
Both targeted for firing by the police superintendent.
Two similar cases — with two very different outcomes.
The dates on the cases cited (we think there are nine) go all the way back to 2002. In each case, officers were investigated, accused of wrongdoing, was served with allegations and had their day before the Police Board. That there were a myriad of results surprises no one here at SCC and shouldn't surprise anyone who's been a cop for longer than six months or a Chicagoan for more than a year.
The city reeks of corruption, favoritism and clout. It isn't hard to figure out and anyone with half-a-brain could put together a halfway decent list of political connections and favors owed for certain cases.
But the Sun Times doesn't do that. They drag up old cases and don't really delve much behind the curtain of corruption that permeates Chicago. We certainly hope that they're going to run the same "investigation" at the Water Department, Streets and San, the Fire Department and other city agencies.
Oh wait, we're the only ones in contract negotiations. We just realized that this is another smear job masquerading as journalism while Rahm pulls the strings.

Why anyone bothers to pay for or even read the sun times is mind boggling. Its a dying rag.
Ah yes. But the low info voter that tiny dancer loves does not know this is smear and news.
Tiny hates people that can think for themselves. because if they think, then they see the bullshit.
If I had the money, like Michael Bloomgerg money, I'd create a group of reporters, photographer, researchers and downright spies to go to NYC and find out the background of McDufass.
Go interview everybody and find out what this guy is all about and how we can get rid of him. I would like to know about the Adrian Schoolcraft incident and is McCan'tstandhim involved with it. What other lawsuits was he involved in. If Tio Hardeman is fair game, well there were stories here too.
Money can do that sort of thing. Remember when Obama ran for the Senate. His Republican opponent had a messy divorce and the records were sealed but for the Messiah they popped open like a ripe zit. But we still haven't heard about Barry's school records, surrendered law license, never actually wrote for the Harvard review and where in the world was he in his earlier years.
I'll keep buying lottery tickets, there is still hope.
Novak and Fusco again huh?
OK... we predict that in the next 48 hours Frannie Spielman is going to stumble out of HER hidey-hole with her clothes on backwards, inside out and ready to run with a slanted and misleading anti-Police hit piece too.
These three have their heads so far up mayor Twinkle-Toes ass for nourishment and sustenance, if he were to fart, their ears would pop...
Three human beings not worth the ink on their paper.
More "smart people" who are too fucking stupid to see the role clout plays in these Police Board rulings.
Too fucking stupid to see the obvious hidden hand moving to protect certain people and throw certain others to the wolves.
Hey... Just a thought...
Since the worthless Chicago newsies have unfettered access (via intentional leakage from the stupidintendent's office and the mayors office) to Police Officer's info, department ID pictures and the like? Why can't we have a BOLO book with THEIR names and pictures in it?
A quick reference laminated cheat sheet for those with a serious penchant for running these wretchedly biased, intentionally under-done to the point of skewing to an anti-Police agenda, hit pieces.
Remember newsies! No expectation of privacy on the public way... JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!
Of course they'll whine that they won't be able to do their jobs if they were "exposed" in this manner.
>Snicker!<
Well... It ain't like these fools are sworn L.E. or practice hard hitting investigative journalism that puts them in harm's way.
They would rummage a Policeman's children's underwear drawer for a story... With or without Rahm's prompting.

Funny... Bet you good money if you cornered one of them and asked, (Politely of course... Remember, Coppers obviously give them the yips so play nice:) they couldn't give you a straight answer as to what their "job" should actually entail.
Newspaper Journalism is a failed enterprise in Chicago.
Any Patrolman could write and "report" these goofs into the ground with one hand tied behind his back.
Awaiting the day when they're reduced to chasing rats through the weeds around the turning basin at 2700 S. Ashland and the river to pad their pork 'n beans with...

The city announced that they will be accepting applications for the job stating August 01.
This will make most of you puke !! They will give CPS high School grads preference just like men and women that served in the Armed Forces. So all of us that sent the kids to Private schools are not a group of candidates they are looking for.
Also, you can be 18 yoa to apply. Test in in December.
Thank the good Lord I am retired.

Why do you think the Trib is running an op-ed on better training for teachers? Rahm is trying to smear the profession. Throw the bum out, I say.
What ever happened to Preckwinkles kid who got in trouble. Did momma take care of the charges since the Judge works for Cook County? Momma puts the budget together for the judicial system.
They should put a list together of all the politician kids and family getting into trouble. Let's see...
Cullerton - DUI
Preckwinkle - battery
Daley - agg battery
Munoz - Fraud

This is their way of not hiring relatives of City workers and having a lawsuit filed against them. They know that the majority of City workers send their kids to private schools.
Stannis Baratheon will not stand for this, he shall march on the sun times and hold those with ill will toward his keepers of peace accountable. Those found guilty by his grace shall be offered up to the lord of light.
The only people that buy the Sun-Times are the ones that are too stupid to fold a real newspaper.
Those two Slum Times reporters are well-known regulars on the circuit. They often publish smears fed to them by defense attorneys, etc., people with an agenda. Like it's something they came up with on their own. Yeah, right. They don't really report anything. They are just a conduit. What will they do when the paper folds?
Actually, CFD is in contract negotiations too.

Many of those pukes at 18 are still five to ten years away from their GED let alone two years of college. Oh wait, they can make up college at Malcolm X or one of the other make believe colleges in the City College System.
Why not give preference to aspiring rap artists? Or those with newer IR numbers get put ahead.
Why would they want former US Marines or Army or Air Force veterans? Those people are used to working hard to advance and doing things honestly and fairly.
All it is is more lawsuits against the moron running personnel and Rahm.
I would never hire someone who went to CPS. My 8th grade diploma from a good Catholic Grammar School from 1964 got me a better education than a piece of CPS toilet paper. Karen Lewis be damned.
I've tried to explain to the ignorant or uninitiated just how clout in this city works. Usually, I'm met with stunned looks and disbelief. That is a reality we, the workers, can not overcome.
No one besides a few care whether you go home tonight. We serve a purpose and that is as far as it goes for the political elites. It's not about health care or pensions, it's about crime stats.
Be safe and God Bless.
I was on medication and didn't know I was stealing? But you were able to drive to the store make selections and only pay for a few things? Bitch Please, you wouldn't accept that bull shit explanation from anyone when you were the police. I'm just saying LMAO
Embarrassing

Boo friggin hoo!! Tell your kids to choose a different profession. Guys complain about the job and the city,but lead their kids to the CPD.
SCC don't forget the Aviation Department. The clouted there gorge themselves because it isn't technically taxpayers money but revenue from airlines.
The entire disciplinary process and contractual enforcement revolves around phone calls, clout and favoritism.

Who is going to do the throwing? Police do not vote in any significant numbers so who is doing this throwing?
I really wish the Koch Bros. would buy the Fibune or Scum-Times just to give the Democrats in this city a kaniption fit.
It'll never happen though. The rats will cock-block it just like CCW in IL.
Will someone please tell the moron in charge of the fop that when he gives negative comments about the police board to the reporters it hurts all the officers who have cases currently pending before the board, and future officers who go before the board. Keep your mouth shut! Every comment he has made since he took over has hurt the membership.
Yes, rehashing old news, but valuable news. Many on this blog have commented on the biased and corrupt internal investigations of the department. And as one who worked in IAD a few years back, I can attest to the accuracy of these fears. So, let the sun times bring it up again. maybe it will bring in reforms.

Novak and Fusco. At request of lawyers trying to dirty up department, put in a story that a cpd officer was founf not guilty in a totally unrelated case 30 years ago. 30 fucking years ago.

So my question is this.
Why did you blow thousands of dollars on “private school” if you really wanted your kids to take a police job anyway??
Anyone hear about the city wide 10-1 Belmont and Clark/Sheffield at 0500 hrs this morning?
because you wouldn't want your kids to be stupid, no matter what job they took
That's a lawsuit in waiting. "I went to Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Jewish school and I was discriminated against".
All I hear is lawsuits. Not sure about this one. Dont they give preference for the CFD paramedics who attended Malcolm X college for there education or paramedic classes No lawsuit on that one
The minions at the scum-times must have dislodged nuts from the strain of rolling this article back and forth behind their pay-wall at least four times in under 24 hours.
Rahm must've called and bitched about the favorable comments catching up with the comments wishing much pain and death on Policemen like one particularly obnoxious comment that went up early on...

780AM mentioned that about 30 thugs chased two guys down the street and beat the shit out of them in front of the Belmont El. One guy got stabbed in the eye supposedly. Nothing in the papers, nothing else on any news reports.
Crime is down; the police department is fully staffed, nothing to worry about.

Well said!
Any copper who pushes their kid towards this job these days is a complete asshole! The pay is pretty good, the health benefits are better than just about anywhere, but none of that is worth the demoralizing, dementia inducing shit coppers have to put up with these days.
Do the right thing and still get hammered from all sides. Do the wrong thing, even accidentally, and see your face on the news. Not to mention that from what I've seen, a large percentage of recent hires treat this job like it's public aid. Show up, do nothing, get on blog and whine about the job.
At least tell your kids to take the CFD test, if you must lead them to a dead end, trapped in a shitty city for life job.
If they aren't working for Rham I'll give you my OT check,News is twisted and directed,as advised by higher ups and anticipating upcoming contract negotiations and playing broke ect ect,it's all planned,as corruption is like cancer spreading,wow this sound like a movie,and this bet is unwinable because I'm retired!
S. Moore should have never been hired. She is a gang member. Her family members are gang members. She doesn't have the backs of fellow officers. Useless sack of shit.
What is your problem assXXXX ? Calling me Judy a mouth piece for our mentor, the CEO of Alpha Girls.
I know she would not be in the recruitement photo because she might work U./C again. Us Alpha run silent and get the job done because of the training we get from being Alpha'.
Karen had us at the range doing shotgun training. We learned much from the hard 8 hours we training today.
Most of you guys that dislike us could not keep up with us elite for 20 minutes.
So go eat a triple cheese-burger and fries. I ate a pint of Yogort for lunch and dinner.
You probadly look like Missy, the one who brags doing tickets and who could not run a half a block !!

"Answer the call lies" and what the webpage should say, is as follows:
A career with the CPD offers an attractive compensation package and superior benefits including:
Current starting salary of $43,104, increased to $61,530 after 12 months, and increased to $65,016 after 18 months
Annual Uniform Allowance (Since your going to spend about 7,000 to buy every last item you may or may not need in training and to graduate, including uniforms and a department ID, including BDU riot gear your not trained to wear)
Annual Duty Availability Pay (only after one-year no PPO's)
Comprehensive Medical Care Plan (not really and Obama care will probably be forced onto members)
Vision Care (suck!, not until one year and is insurance in name only)
Dental Care (only after one-year and it sucks too - the only next best thing is no insurance)
Prescription Drug Plan (does not pay like in the private sector and does not inlcude birth control, City excempted itself from Obama-care)
Paid Sick Leave (One-day each month, after probation if you call in sick your treated like a child)
Paid Vacation Days (in calender days only after your probation)
Paid Holidays (only after one-year)
Tuition Reimbursement (only after one year and the Director of Personnel will make it hard to get reimbursed or denied your reimbursement for arbitrary reasons)
Home Purchase Assistance Program (hard to get or qualify, program restrictions make it a benefit you are not suppose to use)
Pension Plan (talk of taking it away, massively underfunded.)
Deferred Compensation Plan (with your own cash, hardly a "benefit")
See cpdrecruitmenttruth.com
This will make most of you puke !! They will give CPS high School grads preference just like men and women that served in the Armed Forces. So all of us that sent the kids to Private schools are not a group of candidates they are looking for.
Doubt that. If you spent your tuition money wisely and made your kid work in high school, he should have NO trouble smoking the test and blowing the CPS graduate out of the water.
Except that "CPS graduate" might just be a code name of "affirmative action hire."

Did you leave there because you actually found your conscience and decided to be the proverbial 'whistle blower' and things are now in motion to make past injustices right? Or did you just move on and keep your mouth shut?
How many coppers got fucked while you were there for "biased and corrupt internal investigations"?

I went to CPS High School, went on to college, and this job, and scored high and promoted; it's not always the school but the student wanting to learn that makes the difference.
Oh, and go fuck yourself for thinking that by virtue of attending catholic grade school you are somehow superior; you're not.

Where on earth did you get your data? I went to public school with plenty of city worker's kids. I remember ONE in private school. There were more than a few CPD kids in my high school on the south side.
IAD screwed me 15 years ago by allowing doctored documents into evidence on their behalf. The only problem is that I had a prince for a watch commander who gave me te originals. Needless to say I took a few days and grieved it only toreceive everything back. And where do they put the Commander who was respponsible for doctoring the documents, well he is a supervisor at IPRA. Funny how things happen on this job. In case you are wondering who it is , his name is Lorenzo Davis former commander of 015.
26 and 29 are decent ACT scores but who recruits from Northeastern? You may get what you pay for. Spend a little extra on your kids and let them go to a real university.

Do you really think that anyone who worked in IAD and was disgusted with what went on would really blow the whistle? If you do, then you are a blow hearted fool as the city would crush you.It is funny how someone who is not in that position can criticize those that are for not stepping forward. I seriously doubt that you would have done anything. The FOP knew about what was happening in IAD and they knew about it for years as they defended accused at the review board. They know that it was useless to complain about things in a public forum. You are a loud mouthed idiot.

Every word you typed could be said about you and every other copper. We've all seen something "wrong" and looked the other way. I won't go into specifics, but it shouldn't be too hard to remember the last time you either did, or witnessed another copper do "wrong".
You are a hypocrite of the highest magnitude.
Not only that, but the person who typed that probably never actually worked in iad.
And, you can bet behind just about everyone of these police officers cited in the paper, there is a real story, one that never gets told to the public or the police board. What they did was not the first time, in most cases.
Heh...
Day two of scum-times Police hit piece...
They seem to be keeping it behind their pay wall this time.
They're still not saying shit about some of these people being clouted in with the Daley machine which made them so unmovable when they fucked up.

Stop pretending just because your kid went to a catholic school they're brilliant. Just read the reports your fellow coppers submit.
If you're a copper and subscribe to the suntimes for home delivery or purchase it somewhere along the way, take a step back, and ask "WHY?".
You are inadvertently supporting the propaganda wheel of the democratic party bus.

Congradulations. Glad it worked out for you. Keep and eye on the 457 plan as stocks may go bearish with Obama in for the next 3 years
Great school for a kid with a 29, he will learn alot competing with kids with a 16. You made a good choice of schools, and no room and board saves money, what a surprise
Good luck

6/23/2013 07:59:00 PM
clearly a case of premature emasculation.
why would anyone want their kid to come on this job?
To all those pissed about preference given to CPS grads. It was your choice to waste money on a high school education. You should have had your kids test into good public school. Article in the Times yesterday where a P.O. said he was happy his kid got in Whitney Young so that he didn't have to pay 15 grand for St. Ignatius, same education for free.
Yeah... Novak and Fusco are doing Rahm's bidding to "dirty up" the impending contract negotiations by rehashing old news.
Funny thing... If these "investigative reporters" (PEE-YUKE!) deemed this so newsworthy and the public benefits so greatly in their "right to know," then how come non of this was made public in THIS manner as/when these incidents occurred or when a final finding rendered by the Police Board/final action taken by the then incumbent Superintendent(s)?
Why, at this time, did the Emanuel Administration order a "document dump" of adjudicated disciplinary cases to the scum-times?
A manufactured crisis of confidence in The Police at contract negotiation time in hope of creating a groundswell of anti-Police sentiment with the same low information electorate who were united in their cries against the gross mismanagement, punitive and revengeful revenue enhancement schemes and intentionally tone-deaf governing style of one Rahm Emanuel.
Rahm needs to quit his bullshit spinning of this.
He's picked the ADJUDICATED CASES of 30-some FORMER POLICE OFFICERS (get it RIGHT Fusco and Novak... You shameless money-shotted whores) to gin up some way delayed ex post facto outrage against Policemen as a whole for these FORMER POLICE OFFICERS who clearly weren't convicted IN A COURT OF LAW of any felony(s).
If this provokes such an inflamed, ingrown hair of outrage on Rahm's narrow, never suffering a day of discomfort, overly charmed, luck of the very Devil ass; then he should work toward getting that changed.
Rahm's wealthy political friends and friends in the banking industry facilitated a financial fraud that destroyed the economy of this nation.
>Crickets at the scum-times<
Rahm personally benefited to the tune of @ $18 million dollars.
>Crickets at the scum-times<
Rahm's political Godfather, Richard M. Daley torched this city to the tune of $12 to $15 BILLION DOLLARS.
>Crickets at the scum-times<
The manufactured crisis of 30-some FORMER POLICEMEN "getting away with" the princely sum of @ $1.2 MILLION DOLLARS between them ALL will set the teeth of the low information electorate on outraged edge.
Grand-Daddy used to say, "There goes that bullshit I told you kids about."
Fuck Fusco and Fuck Novak up their asses with a fully dressed holiday tree for their intentionally under-done, so called "investigative" report.
Better writing is likely found on the walls of a Forest Preserve shit-shack...
Glad they're giving preference to CPS grads. They have lived in the city and have a clue. And to those beefing about wasting money send your kids to private schools. That's on you. Maybe they should have tested for for Young, Jones or another selective enrollment school.There was an article in the paper the other day about a cop with a kid at Young. He said he could have sent his kid to St. Ignatius, but he save 15 grand and his kid got the same education
"Except that "CPS graduate" might just be a code name of "affirmative action hire."
But you're not at all offended by the numerous White officers who were hired based purely on nepotism or clout?
Think Anthony Abbate, who was a known drunk prior to being hired, with a few DUIs. But somebody looked out for him and he was hired in spite of his background. We all know how that turned out.
Proud dad proclaims. "I've got over $600 k saved for me -me-me", and my child scored a 29 on ACT (which I think is about 7 or so points above the national average). Does he spend some extra cash to send his child to a really good school? No, a Full ride to Northeastern is bragging rights enough. Some people will try and cut corners any way they can. Well, a 29 act may be decent, but a gpa of 2.5 won't get you far.
My 2 kids went to Taft.They scored a 26 and a 29 on the ACT exams.The one with the 29 is going to Northeastern on a FULL scholarship!!!!I will retire with $670,000+ in my 457 plan in 2 years ! ! !Suckers!!!
Congradulations. Glad it worked out for you. Keep and eye on the 457 plan as stocks may go bearish with Obama in for the next 3 yearsGreat school for a kid with a 29, he will learn alot competing with kids with a 16. You made a good choice of schools, and no room and board saves money, what a surpriseGood luck6/24/2013 09:57:00 AM
I smell a lie. Kids that get 29 on ACT's go to Northwestern not Northeasy. If your kid did get a 29 and you were to cheap to send them to Northwestern shame on you.
Catholic schools are what made this city great. Your whole community, catholic's and non-catholic's alike, revolved around your church and school. If you look at any decent neighborhood left in this city it still has a catholic school presence. Every "other" neighborhood has multiple churches of the same denomination on one block. As the neighborhoods went bad the schools and churches closed. I'm not a very religious person but if you look at that trend I think you would agree. I don't want to hear about all the socio-economic reasons why the hood is the hood. The fact of the matter is there is not a "viable" church with a real mission ,other than making money for the rev's, in any of those areas. If you push the city workers out of the city by denying their kid's , if they want one, a chance at a city job the city has no future. Those young people are the ones, if it's even still possible, that will maintain a middle class presence in these neighborhoods. The young people that the city is trying to give a leg up will only run into the ground what decent neighborhoods are left.
Not a Cop Here.
I pretty much know the picture I am going to paint of myself as I take the CPD exam in December.
1. I am gay.
2. I am a Muslim.
3. I am transgendered.
My hobbies & interests include;
- Tree hugging.
- Frappaccino mocha latte's at Starbucks.
- Reading the NY Times.
* I have never ever met a real police officer before and I personally think all guns in America should be banned to protect the children.
No way they'll pass me up!
If you read the article, as usual it just shows if your clouted you can do whatever you want, get promoted and do more! Move along nothing new here!
Heh...
And now... Kim Janssen joins in the fun with Fusco and Novak with this story in the scum-times...
"Feds: Broke Chicago Cop stole chips and soda from liquor store."
Rahm must be calling in every marker to muddy up the pending contract negotiation...
"I'll show you Coppers if it's the last thing I do."
Unable to negotiate in good faith so he acts like a petulant child.
Any rational adult who can think for themselves can see this is nothing but a concerted smear campaign.
Let the wrong doers pay THEIR price...
Deal honorably with the rest of us.
Or is that too much to ask of a stunted, misfit of a manling bereft of an honorable bone in his body.
I smell a lie. Kids that get 29 on ACT's go to Northwestern not Northeasy.

You are the same type of goof that thinks driving a Lexus is better than driving a Ford.
Northeastern will give you a full boat if you have a 29 ACT.
Northwestern will give you SHIT. I'll be damned if I send my kid to a communist school.
THE COWARD RAT MOTHERFUCKER WHO USED TO WORK AT IAD UP UNTIL A COUPLE YEARS AGO SAID:
Every word you typed could be said about you and every other copper. We've all seen something "wrong" and looked the other way. I won't go into specifics, but it shouldn't be too hard to remember the last time you either did, or witnessed another copper do "wrong".
You are a hypocrite of the highest magnitude.
Not only that, but the person who typed that probably never actually worked in iad.
AND........
Do you really think that anyone who worked in IAD and was disgusted with what went on would really blow the whistle? If you do, then you are a blow hearted fool as the city would crush you.It is funny how someone who is not in that position can criticize those that are for not stepping forward. I seriously doubt that you would have done anything. The FOP knew about what was happening in IAD and they knew about it for years as they defended accused at the review board. They know that it was useless to complain about things in a public forum. You are a loud mouthed idiot.
ABSOLUTLEY PATHETIC WHAT PASSES FOR A COP NOWADAYS, LET ALONE WHAT'S PROBABLY SUPPOSED TO BE A "MAN".
very interesting how the femal;e copper had to resign and retire cause she had a residency beef yet the IAD rat who was caught living in suburb is still collecting a paycheck after being stripped what 3 years or so ago. Thats what should be in the article and how many other clouted people skated and keep on doing so. Lets see someone used his gun to kell herself-a sgt back at work in 017. Spray pepper spray cause you didnt get a break off the bill-30 days only for a sgt and Lt. The list goes on an on and on....

Yeah, you picked two crappy schools to send your kids. Though, Taft is Chicago's politics in action, check this out:
Currently, four separate families have multiple family members working at Taft, including a mother/daughter, a father/two sons, father/son, and a husband/wife.
The mother/daughter had been working in the counseling office where the mother (Phyliss Ehret, 2012 salary $83,300) was the Dept Head and her daughter (Nora Sapienka, $63,024) has been working under her leadership since 2009. Their 2013 salary total was $146,324.
However, the mother has now been moved to the attendance office at Taft because of nepostism allegations, continuing to earn her counseling salary, and now has the Taft attendance office salaries topping $222,00 for four employees (mother ~ $83K, two clerks @ $43K each and a former CPS teacher working on a teacher's salary as a resource/collaborative teacher for $53K) to work in Taft's Attendance Office..
The father and two sons are members of the Nishibayashi Family. Nick is the father and is a PE teacher and Athletic Director making $84,315. His two sons Brett ($72,436) and Chad ($49,724) are also PE teachers and coaches working under Nick's leadership as AD. Their salaries total $206,475.
The father/son team working at Taft come from the Harte family. The father is an Engineer IV assigned to Taft ($77,844) and his son Daniel is a Taft PE teacher/coach ($65,069). Their total salaries total = $142,913.
The last family tandem at Taft are both teachers. Scott Plencner ($64,252) and his wife Melissa Bezold-Plencner ($63,024). Their total salaries = $127,276
The Grand Total of all Four Families = $622,988

To: Commie hater,name one non-communist school you would send your kid to. Furthermore, the ACT score range for Northwestern starts at 28. That's nothing to sneeze at,but although a 29 is damn good you're still bringing up the rear at Northwestern. Both your kids did you proud. Congratulations.

A student at Northwestern will get a top-notch education and a much better chance at quality employment. Northeastern, not so much. It's great that your kid got a full scholarship, but please stop with the attitude that a quality education is a bad thing.

Wake up pal.
Northwestern, Harvard or Yale WILL NOT make a student smarter or well educated. You either "have it" or you don't.
Going to a big name school that will put you in hock for 30 years will give you nothing more than a better "accreditation".
NOT a better education.

A graduate of Northwestern,Yale ,or Harvard are practically guaranteed a job upon graduation. The alumni networks of those schools are unbelievable. They take care of each other.

Your right it only makes a difference when you are making 40k a year as opposed to 90k. Your right. That Calumet College degree coppers have been getting is as good as a Northwestern degree.

If you want to see who should wake up, look in the mirror.
How you can even compare Harvard, Yale and Northwestern with Northeastern is unbelievable. You will have more debt from those schools, but your job opportunities and salary will make up for it in a very short period of time.

WRONG SON.
Turn on PBS or pick up the Wall Street Journal.
THOUSANDS of people now in their
30's and early 40's still have enormous debt from their ivy school college loans.
Some have somewhat good jobs ($130,000? what the heck! I made more last year thanks to VRI!) but many have lost their jobs in the recession.
I had a family friend who had a Masters from the University of Chicago.
He had over $90,000 in debt and committed suicide 2 years ago because he could not find work that would pay well enough.
We had a sergeant in 019 who had a degree from Northwestern.
He is a total MORON and made sergeant meritorious because he had clout.
And CLOUT is THE bottom line in everything.
I suggest you read the following book before you or your children piss their money away;
Is College Worth It?: A Former United States Secretary of Education and a Liberal Arts Graduate Expose the Broken Promise of Higher Education

And you do get a better education. Northeastern teaches on a good high school level. To say some thing like you don't get a better education at Harvard or Yale is ridiculous.
"...and as one who worked in IAD a few years back..."
You are one who sold your integriy for the privilege of not wearing a uniform and weekends off. Please return to the rock you crawled out from under.
