Remember, Ethical Behavior is EXPECTED
- A felon convicted of bribing a public official says he and Ald. Richard Mell (33rd) were silent partners in the Joliet landfill that spurred a nasty family feud with Mell’s son-in-law, then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, according to allegations in a lawsuit obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
Mell has long denied having any financial interest in the landfill, which sold for $17.7 million in 2008. But the lawsuit filed by Robert Pruim Sr. and his son, Robert Jr., in Will County Circuit Court, accuses the powerful alderman of helping create the business, taking a one-third ownership stake and then conspiring to defraud the Pruims out of nearly $3.7 million when the sale occurred.
The lawsuit, originally filed last year, was amended to include Mell on June 3.
How very very typical.

In other news, here are the answers once again to this year's Ethics Test:
- Section I - no questions, just an overview
- Section II - no, no, yes, no
- Section III - yes, yes, no, no, no
- Section IV - no, no, no, yes
What a joke this place is. And it will be an even bigger joke if Rahm-bo names Dick Mell's daughter to the aldercreature seat he's about to vacate. Patti Blago should be in jail alongside her husband with her shady Rezko real estate deals and Daddy is a millionaire many times over due to violating who knows how many Ethics rules and laws, and now another Mell in a political seat?

I'm sorry...but didn't we already know that Mell was a crook with no morals?
Remember when Mell forgot to register his dozens of handguns? Anti-gun mayor Daley then made a grace period so anyone (read politicians) who forgot to register could do so instead of having all those guns seized by the corrupt government.
This is the government you allow to be elected every time. You get the government you deserve.
Ah ... the Hispanics are clamoring for the spot.
Apparently a plethora of illegal Mexicans living in your ward affects who's in charge.
Can somebody E-verify these 'constituents?'
it was a lake that was drained to become a landfill with mell and a few other daley pals dumping illegal and toxic materials. Feds should have investigated it, but when you're wired in, these things happen.
This is no big deal because YOU voting taxpaying public accept this kind of behavior by continually voting these corrupt democrats into office. So STFU and enjoy your corruption,two sets of rules,mayor, red light cameras,speed cameras,Maggott daley park, school system, wildings, rev'runs, 50 alderfucks, taxes taxes taxes, etc etc etc........ Oh and let's not forget those ridiculous city sticker fees.
Life is good outside that shithole.
The rules only apply to some.
" There is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress ". MARK TWAIN
Mr. Twain must never have visited Chicago or heard of it's Aldermen.
Wow, now we know why he really resigned... The crooks always resign when shit is about to hit the fan...
The mayor & city council made themselves exempt from doing anything Ethical. It's the machine way in shitcago.
REMEMBER: The Congressional Seat vacated by Blago in the 5th Congressional District is the Seat Mel "Gave" to Rham. I live in that District and I can remember the city workers hustling the vote for the Carpetbagger. Mel's Organization people joined with other city workers to make sure that nobody had a chance against Rahm, so if he Gives the Seat to Mel's daughter, it will be a pay-back gesture. Mel made a governor, and two congressmen. Does that make him a prince maker? Or just another corrupt piece of shit.
the bigger joke is the al sharpton comedy show coming to chicago shortly. hey al i love you on the factor when bill oreilly interviews you. hey don rickles you have competition.
I remember hearing in the past about alderman Mel having an interest in a landscaping company that has the contract with the city to maintain the landscaping in the "Maggy" planters. They are a hazard all over the city. No wonder that the city will lower the height but refuses to remove the dangerous road hazards! Ever see them watering them in the rain??? The rich get richer! We just pay!!!
I have to wonder if politics, local and National, have been this dirty and corrupt the whole time, it's just that we have more access to the info these days thanks to blogs like yours.
Either way, it is enraging.
let that be the first of 30 aldermanic spots eliminated
now that's a sure way to Save money and have an efficient city council
Get your helmets out boys and girls, Zimmermans about to be not guilty.
You gotta love chicago politician's values. Do as I say not as I do. It's a good thing we have (50) aldermen!
I wonder if Blago is going to start talking to the Feds to get his time whacked in half.....
McTwitter was fired today. Look for the press conference later this afternoon where he will announce he is stepping down. If your more than 35 out on the sergeants list you're out of luck. Start studying for the next test because AW is going to use the full 30% merit as acting superintendent to make all his guys.
What, no mention of Hispanic Caucus backing off due to Mell's promise to run his hispanic former aide? So Mell retires and keeps control of both his aldermanic seat and his daughters state rep. seat? And it's business as usual for the Mells.
Won't someone please rat this bastard out ??? (Not a cop but I'm with you all the way)
remember Deb Mell only legislator to vote NO to remove Blago from office! Now Deb Mell wants to sit on the Chicago City Council-Business as Usual!
Bored of Ethics
Everyone is shocked? Why? It's Chicago
Heads up CPD, and stay safe: "PLANS FOR AN ACTION WHEN THE CASE GOES TO THE JURY AND TO TAKE TO THE STREETS ON THE DAY THE VERDICT COMES DOWN, WHICHEVER WAY IT GOES!
Daley Plaza – 5PM *NOTE CHANGE IN LOCATION
When case goes to jury, and when verdict is announced"

13 term Dumbocrat wants Army to stop what she has been pushing for the last 25 years.
Not So Off Topic:
Avowed Police-Hater and former alderfool Sharon Dixon was conveniently found too crazy to stand trial for her UUW pinch...
So fucking what?
Medicate her ass until she's "recovered" and then put her ass in prison...
The Judge Cynthia Brim strategy...
"I'se cray-cray so y'all can't lock me up!"
A copper would be twisting in the wind from the flag pole at 26 & Cal with non-stop coverage courtesy of the City Hall Ministry of Propaganda.
Another odd twist...
Janet Napolitano stepped down from Homeland Security to take a university post in California...
Side note... It looks like the liberal dummy-crats are fleeing the utopia they created in California and are actively trying to wreck the rest of the common sense having western U.S. states to carve out yellow-pinky enclaves and run political false flag operations to elected offices in order to push their agenda.
This has been popping up on the radar with increasing regularity.
Amusing what's happening in Colorado... The northern counties want to secede and be North Colorado because of the increasing lib foolishness coming out of Denver.
Of course, the Denver bunch don't want anyone to "escape" their clutches...
Watch this one...
It promises to be very interesting.
Hell... The rest of Illinois want desperately for Chicago to be cut loose so as not to drag the rest of the state to ruin.
Very interesting indeed.
ethics in Chicago?.....they should have a reality tv show, the biggest thief......they would have enough material for years
The voters in Mells ward should ask themselves this question. If he would destroy the father of his grandchildren what would he do to you and your family?
Hey Barney!
Who the F you calling illegal?
Go check the floor knobs.
O.T.
Attention all retired CPD members. A meeting will be held on 29 Jul 13 @ 18:30 Hrs. at the Chicago Agricultural H.S. 3901 W. 111th St. The topic of discussion will be to seek possible new options to reduce medical care costs for current/future retirees.
Insurance company representatives will be in attendance. This meeting will be chaired by P.O. Herb Hebein, 022nd District. Please make an effort to attend.
Don't fill the seat and let the neighboring wards absorb it.
Richard Mell was voted into office. It is not a birthright or a legacy and there is no inheritance right for offspring, or wives, or widows or siblings to be gifted with that elected office when the elected official chooses to step down, or dies.
This is one of the things the Founding Fathers were trying to escape from and ensure could not happen in the new country they designed and founded. Passing down a political office just smacks of monarchy, not democracy.
Any word on our contract , will fop negotiate future pensions like the sgts ?
That's the Chicago Way!!

Funniest shit in a long time!
The Great Khan of Madiganistan is all tangled up in that Metra Hush Money Scandal and the King of Thieves, that stuttering prick known as Shortshanks just had a subpoena dropped in his lap about a convict who states he was framed by then CCSA Daley after being tortured into a false confession by John Burge and the old Burnside Crew...
Scum-Times online...
The beginning of "The Great Correction?"
Or is Rahm having things played forward so he can have some breathing room to fuck around?
WOW! OJ Not Guilty of a double homicide and Ray Lewis cries and isn't in the penit. for MURDER. Yet Zimmermann put through the shit we even have the president putting in his 2 cents before a fuckin trial. So much for our justice system. What color is your skin? Now the scared BULLSHIT judge tells the jury they can find Zimmermann guilty of manslaughter. What was he charged with? See where this is goin. Poor guy don't stand a fucking chance!!!!!1

Attention Francis: RELAX! The theme of the blog is sarcasm and silliness. You must be a basement dweller who believes everything on the blog is legit. Now GFYS!
Regarding the median planters, the owner of the landscape company that maintains them, Christy Webber, is Deb Mell's girlfriend/wife or husband (who knows)/lesbian lover/whatever.

Hey. Hey. That's not nice.
Don't worry, you're on 'glue.' You are safe here. Welcome to my country.
No official misconduct there,eh?
When you enter politics in Chicago/Illinois, ethics are something that are not required. In fact ethics are frowned upon. Ethics interferes with "business as usual". What kind of a City /State would we have if everything was on the "up & up". ?
