We're 48th! We're 48th!

  • “Corruption and union pensions have made Illinois a poor alternative for business. Continually avoiding to address and fix the problems have only exacerbated the situation. More conservative states are easier to work in and with.”

    “Illinois is rated in the worst category; their taxing scheme is deleterious toward small business.The Illinois Dept of Revenue seems most adversarial with respect to small business support and promotion. The Illinois House assembly is inept in addressing the hard issues associated with putting the state’s financial condition in order; they are a taxing and spending machine with little regard to the consequences and impacts to its citizens and businesses.”

    “Illinois is a horrendous state in which to do business. It is governed by a class of incompetent, corrupt politicans. It’s like doing business in a third-world country.”
Number 50 is only a few years away at this rate.

Chicago has a $810 million CHA budget. No able bodied person should live rent free. Something very wrong about that.

That $810 million can be easily cut in half to help pay city pensions.

Why is that not on the negotiating table?

What makes my blood boil is all you hear is police and fire pensions are whats causing all this financial hardship. BULLSHIT, amazing you hear nothing of legislator, aldermanic or committeman pension. People that do absolutely jack shit but sit, argue and blame each other. Is it the police and fire who continue to raise taxes and squander money??? NOPE. Can we just appoint someone to take our spot like Dick Mell did? NOPE. This city and state are fucked so stop blaming those that serve and protect and blame those that cheat and steal from the public.

48 is not that bad out of 57 states.

"… uh, because, you know, i-i-it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we’ve traveled … uh to every corner of the United States. Uh, I’ve now been in fifty … ss-seven? states. I think one left to go. Uh, one left to go — eh, Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to, even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not, uh, justify it."

There is so much good about the way things are done in Illinois and the way it's government is managed. Pay no attention to this radical propaganda from enemies of the people. Just remember that the only good business is one that works with government and under the close control of government. Put your trust in your government leadership and all will be well.

Doing business in a 3rd World country?
Just who is paying the bribes, donating to the
Campaign coffers of these individuals to influence
Legislation & to get government work & contracts.
It seems to be the great business leaders doing the bribing and demanding their share of influence.
Ask them to keep their contract and pay the pensions.
Now things are unfair for business. They can help remove these incompetent and corrupt people too. Instead they keep giving support and money to them. Are we to believe that they are getting nothing in return or are they complaining now because the return on their investment is not as profitable if the pensions have to be funded. Not enough money for them and the pensions so now they cry foul. They are all evil.

Russia invading the Ukraine to protect the Russian people.

And now...

Chinese police to be drafted in to Paris to help protect tourists

The Guardian ‎- 1 day ago

Paris police are to draft in reinforcements from China to help patrol the French capital during the summer tourist boom. The foreign officers ...

============

So when does the political apparatus here outsource the department and use this as its tool to bust the union.

Will the Policía Federal Mexicana be here shortly to protect it's ethnic people?

Perhaps it will be the IDF out of Israel assigned to protect the tourist at the taste? After all they are the ones with the money.

Can't you here the Northwestern Marketing master, ol' fruit lips himself speaking about "much needed help" and how something like this "will enable" something-something "for the children".

Oh maybe a terrorism cross training intuitive. The word terrorist conjures up images that few people will argue against.

Chicago could send a handful of clouted CPD merit hacks over there and get three,four, five...officers in return for each one sent to patrol downtown.

The Microsoft word template for the speech with all the phrases designed to conjure up emotional images reminiscing altruistic values is sitting there waiting for the blanks to be filled in I'll bet.

Even if you're a dyed in the wool Democrat, you have to ask: What positive things has Quinn/Madigan/Rahm/Daley done? What are their accomplishments?

While you hear the crickets chirping you should think, perhaps they shouldn't deserve your vote.

Always vote anti-incumbent. Fuck this city. Last one out shut off the lights.

We pay into social security and are entitled to it at retirement age and we can't receive full benefits, we can only receive 40%,yet they want to diminish pension benefits! Slow Cola down or cut altogether,well I say one or the other,social security was designed to help you after retirement,supplement your income,so if your going to cut back pension benefits which is against the constitution and is suit worthy,then at least give officers entire social security benefits,which is actually the money they put in during the course of working,up until becoming the police! How in two separate incidents are politicians trying to steal money we actually put into saving for our future well being,one day when officers retire and deserve an amicable financial future as contractually agreed,they should get it!

Was at store today west end of 008 and large lady in front of me had 2 carts full of groceries and used 3 link yes 3 link cards, all kinds of food. I asked cashier if this happens often she told me all the time, and her husband works 12 hours a day 6 days and week and they could never afford all the food the lady in front of me bought her total was $445.00 all paid with your tax money. No money for pensions of hard working first responders but trillions given away for these thieves.

Does the attorney generals office Lisa madigan do any investigations?

Actually, there's a city ordinance, backed by state law that keeps city employees from moving out of the city.

But more importantly, should my family & I be forced to move out of the city and state that I once truly loved, because these POS politicians destroyed it?

I used to be proud to say I'm from Chicago.
