Mayor MVP
- The Cubs got the go-ahead Thursday to take another ten feet of street and sidewalk — and sell advertising on a “branding arch” over Clark Street — over the objections of residents who live around 99-year-old Wrigley Field.
Area residents were so angry about the Chicago Plan Commission’s decision to enlarge the stadium footprint at their expense to accommodate wider aisles, more concessions and a larger Budweiser deck, they branded Mayor Rahm Emanuel the team’s “most valuable player” for 2013.
Here's the "police-y" part of the article that caught our eye:
- “It is shocking to know the mayor is so willing to give billionaire owners of the Cubs public land so they can increase their profit margins while the residents of the 19th District are told there isn’t enough money to hire more police to replace the nearly 70 officers we’ve lost in the last 18 months....
Didn't Rahm and the aldercreatures promise on a stack of bibles that residents of the combined 019 and 023 Districts wouldn't suffer loss of police coverage or even a single officer? And yet here is an allegation that 70 cops have been lost. And we can count on one hand the number of openings for all of 2013.
Could it be that they lied? We mean, Obama has been lying his ass off for 5 years and the lies are just coming to light now, and Rahm is part of the same political structure, so maybe he has the same ingrained habits? Of course, the dead tree media won't point any of this out in any meaningful way that might damage the Chicago political brand.

70? That's outdated. A department spokesman pegged the number lost at 107.

FOP told a 44th ward aldermanic candidate that the district is down 169.

Typical politicians... Surprising you say, shocking you say, nope... Not here in Chiraq, just business as usual.
Politicians and the mainstream media, both print and electronic, have far less credibility than a used car salesman.
Media snobbery..don't hurt the politicians just the little folk who are earning their way thru life.
This a pittance to what Daley gave the Sox, virtually built and gave them a stadium
That number is closer to 100.
Haaaaaaa!!
And there's still gonna be no opponent when he runs for reelection.
He's gonna get reelected with ease.
Hey. Hey! HEY!
Hush up that loose and lascivious talk SCC!
Rahm Al-Ghoul is telling the tax-paying sucker to kiss his narrow, tutu clad ass... Twice...
"STFU peons! Go run a red light and pay the fine... That's all you chumps are good for anyways. Oh yeah... It's for the children."
We on this blog have tried to warn you people about Rahm and the rotten m/fers from the North Shore, New Yuck, D.C. and hollywood who have, are and will continue to shovel ungodly amounts of money at Rahm to outspend any challenger and keep him firmly ensconced in Chicago.
You people happily voted for this little maniac because he said he was going to put a hurt on the "greedy cops and firemen whose fault it is that the city is in financial trouble."
Heh... You weren't counting on him destroying YOUR quality of life but fuck the cops and firemen. Right?
Rahm Emanuel has turned this city into a playground for financial whoredoms for sale to the highest bidders in continuance of what that stuttering half-wit, shit-shack Irish pig RMD has done...
In a just world, the IRS and DOJ would be fucking DETROYING the dirty clouted construction companies, law firms and the assholes who are members of the Gold Coast/North Shore criminal political, media and phony charity & money laundering cocktail party circuit.
Or should that end up being left to the hands of old, sick physically, mentally and emotionally torn up people who sacrificed 20 to 40+ years of their lives working a nasty, shit doo-doo job policing nasty, dead-end, death worshipping shit doo-doo savage m/fers who are now spreading their joy through this city because the public has bought into the media propaganda that THE POLICE are THE problem here in Chicago?
You people rejoice that Policemen have been intentionally walked backwards in the face of criminals being intentionally emboldened?
Bow and give thanks to Rahm for making it happen...
Oh yeah... This bullshit with the Cubs is the tip of the iceberg of what Rahm has planned for you and everybody else.
*The Police are the problem in Chicago... Once we "fix" them, everything else will fall into place.*
The residents who complain about Wrigley are idiots. The place was a ghetto in the 70's, some how it turned around. Anyone living near it now, went there with full knowledge of the park being there.
Without Wrigley that area has a huge chance of reverting back to being a ghetto.
when the districts combined some low seniority po's and sgt's got dumped. the district is bigger, the beats are bigger, and there are LESS police to patrol them. not to mention the new station's lockup not being used. if there was a "journalist" that truly cared about this city and the truth he or she would ask for the sheets or the a&a's... i'm just sayin'
It's the way of the Democrat party, going back to President Andy Jackson. This is what you get when you elect a democrat party machine to run your city/county.
Wait a minute here. You're telling me that socialists lie?
Obama lied? But he's a socialist. They know how to run our lives. They don't need to lie to do that.
The area around Wrigley is a great place to get in a fight for your wallet and cell phone. Residents are arming up as criminals are flocking in to get in on the strong arm/armed robbery action . No Police plus Yuppies equals easy pickings !
FYI, Voulgaris manned up and gave out that number at a CAPS meeting in October. Surprised he's still there.
If Tiny Dancer is the Cubs MVP, no wonder the Cubs suck.
This Spencer guy should be given a pass by every copper in 019. He got information in the media that has been ignored. You sir, are a gentleman.
All about the money. Wonder how much $$$ goes back to the city politicians for doing the bidding of the Cubs owners.
Welcome to the Communist Dictatorship of Chicago, where only the peons have to obey the Laws
I hate to see the monies get spent on anything except catching up on the pension. I also can bet you 99% of those people in 19/23 voted for Obama. In that case good for you all.
Rahm lies through his teeth on a regular basis.
In fact I believe Rahm is a pathological liar and a psychopath.
There's a book on Amazon called "Mayor 1%" and this narcicistic, psychopath is the subject of the book.
Very interesting, and in my opinion truthful, read.
Politicians lie, it's what they do. This Progressive area has taken it to new heights. That why we have elections. Time for a change here. Will the sheep wake up?
Yes siree! Ricketts is on his way to ruining Wrigley Field and going broke. He better get a World Series team after the remodeling job, otherwise Wrigley Field turns into a ghost town.
Don't you see that it's just part of the bigger plan. The more public land Rahmulous gives away the less there is that cops need to patrol. Less land to patrol, less cops needed. Ten feet at a time if necessary.

Got it fm AMZ based on an earlier recommendation on this blog - excellent (& depressing) read. It's an "aww shit, true dat"
THX
OT -
Looks like that Admin. Mgr from the Academy is taking her weekly day off!
What's with the bosses over there?
Especially the new guy, doesn't anyone care about this theft/ghostpayrolling?
And for those that think she gets ot and can earn ot to take ot time.
NO
She is civilian management. she doesn't get paid in time or money for any ot.
But come on, she takes at least one day a week off of work. That's 52 days a year minimum,
On top of her vacation time!
70 Police Officers!
I am confident to state, it is more close to 110 Police Officers that promoted, transferred out and retired from 019 District with many more to come in year 2014 and no replacements of Police manpower!
I foresee "RAPS" [Radio Assignments Pending: for you Civilians] next year on the 2nd watch and people waiting for hours for Police service!

So, that somehow excuses Rahm doing it, too?
Help is coming to Wrigleyville: Concealed Carry!
Get trained now!
People talk about obama, socialism, and Saul alinsky. How much do they really know about alinsky? I read a book about alinsky written by von Hoffman and it was very informative a.d
Tell those obama/rahm voters to enjoy the hell they voted for and created, ask them aren't they happy to be the cause of their own misery?
Screw them and their pompous asses.
There are ways ,there are ways.
Don't forget the team of 10 and 1 sent out to 025 over a year ago for Area North Saturation

I know one that didnt leave The LT from 3rd watch girlfriend. The only thing she did leave was the caps office because she didnt want to do safe passage,now that its over guess what she wants back in. Whats wrong RR you dont like sitting 5 hrs at the mayors house. the sad thing about that is nobody on 3rd watch was asked about that 4th spot us 20+ guys never got a wiff of that. Were all glad to give him back to the 2nd watch lets just see how long after she follows.
The actual problem is Knocking It Out of The Park..
A teacher blog on why Rahm lost the strike..cuz the little bastards are off the streets for a few hours...

MVP? How ironic for a kid that was undoubtedly picked last for every schoolyard game he ever saw.

He's heavy as shit and he's a good boss. You really don't survive a non performance dumping from commander and get re appointed to commander unless you are heavy as fuck. He is not getting dumped again unless he a...... ahem..... a non performance issue arises again.
Rosemont.If not the team,then the residents should go.

Your a fu-- ing maroon -- lake view was not a slum in the 70's I grew up in the area. Still the same melting pot of people in terms of demographics and financial status. Lake view was and is safer than wicker park and believe me back in the 70's that was the ghetto. If Cuba park ever left the area would not decline as your predict.
11/22/2013 09:27:00 AM
Well if she is Civilian Mgnmt that means it is Unpaid time off and then who really gives a crap.
Merde...Merde....Merde.... Oops there goes my French again!!!

It sure wasn't far from it, not like Englewood but lots of gangbangers and such. The Latin Eagles were big in Lakeview. Lots of auto parts stores on Belmont from Sheffield west. Shitkicker bars, Mr Kiley's at Clifton and Belmont. Lots of gypsies. I moved there in 1971. There was a reason the rent on my apartment was $75 a month for a small two bedroom. Me and a roomate, $37.50 a month each. A small cheese and sausage pizza at Pat's Pizza was $2.10, phone 248-0168.
When 002 & 021 combined there were a total of 422 police officers, there are now 350. Net loss of 72 police officers. I wonder what the corresponding numbers are with 001 and 009 since those districts took part of the old 021?

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
The tough get goin'!

Why don't you present yourself at Pam Zekman's office and tell her your tale? Pammie will be happy to have a story, or non-story, depending on the circumstances.
And WE will be happy your whiny posts will finally cease.

Okay Columbo....
Can you PROVE she is cooking the books? If "YES" then call Fed and drop the proverbial Dime on their asses cause we both know if we did that we'd get gig'd at the very least.
We all know that shit goes on especially at Jackson and Throop And at the old SOS site off of Homan and Fillmore.
So if you got Proof...DO Something since you are, ya know...A Police Officer.

This is getting old.
