No Money for Inspections We Guess

  • Two-thirds of Chicago elevators were not inspected at all in 2013 — and 62 percent of safety violations uncovered over the prior eight years went “unresolved”—according to a “worrisome” audit released Wednesday.

    Inspector General Joe Ferguson’s latest audit examines what has been a chronic problem for Chicago’s inundated and under-staffed Department of Buildings.
Just think of all those fines and fee permits for work that aren't being collected. But Rahm will shorten the yellow light to under the federally mandated minimum of three-seconds, collect $7.7 million and then refuse to refund a penny when caught dirty.

Guess that's why the elevator in 001 hasn't worked in months.

Think a union contract means anything to these people?

As mayor, Rahm took an oath of office to guard the safety of the city's residents...when will the media take him on?? The Building Dept. is screwed up...he knows it...Elevators not inspected, Police not hired..all safety issues...when will some brave Attorney file a lawsuit?? Class action. Rahm's flaunting his power for "a few of his favorite things"...and he's screwing the magnificent Lakefront by bowing to that ego-manic George Lucas' Museum so George will be remembered upon death. San Francisco sent him packing cause George would only take a spot facing the ocean at a National Historic Site...the Presidio. Poor Baby!!! Why didn't he beg Hollywood??. He's a Californian. Cause he probably wants to be cremated and have his ashes tossed in the water where he can watch over his museum. Stranger things have happened and this Rahm is going along with George at the expense of the beauty of the Lakefront and its citizens...but Rahm doesn't care cause and he's not really a Chicagoan..he's just making sure he is making points with a wealthy man..ego and all. He doesn't care. Heck, books and newspapers are near extinct...with the world moving so quickly..folks won't be interested in checking out Star Wars or Indiana Jones with a few Norman Rockwell's thrown in for effect.....boring!!!!

Elevator P-5 at HQ hasn't been inspected since 2003. It feels worse than a carnival ride. Instead of where's Waldo? Where's Bonita "Bonnie" Amado?

That's funny, as I'm reading this the permit on the elevator in 015 has been expired since May. Better take the stairs!

And when the first elevator catastrophically fails due to inspection cut backs, we hope one Rahm I. Emanuel will be held criminally and civilly liable and has to forfeit every nickel of his current assets...

That's the only thing he understands...
We'd love to see him get a big dick shoved in his pockets.
