Honeymoon Over Already?
Based on the "transition team," Rauner is very in-touch with his "inner Combine:"
- Governor-elect Bruce Rauner added some familiar faces to his transition committee.
Speaking publically to the media for the first time since his Election Night win, Rauner on Thursday revealed the committee's full team, which includes former White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley, former Governor Jim Edgar, Rev. James Meeks, former Congressman Glenn Poshard, Congressman Aaron Schock and Pastor Corey Brooks.
Bill Daley? "Rev" Meeks? And the full list covers an entire rainbow of ethnicities, special interests and has-beens....like Ron Huberman - a police officer for ten minutes before being promoted to Assistant Deputy Superintendent, head of OEMC, Daley's Chief of Staff, President of the CTA and head of Chicago Public Schools - without leaving a notable achievement or positive memory behind.

Illinois is dead as a door nail. Rauner is a fake...all his life he bought his way in...never led a staff or a company. Bill Daley of all people on his team...just what folks voted against...
Huberman = Snitch for the Pritzkers et al.?
Gotta keep tabs on Rauner to keep him from going rogue and hurting people with ties to the North Shore.
Bill Daley = Snitch for Daley Inc. Keeping tabs on Rauner to keep him from going rogue and hurting the people and folks from the "old guard" section of the Chicago Rolodex of Evil...
Meeks = The "Plantation Politics" overseers trying to keep their spots at the feeding trough no matter how the new regime shakes out...
And in the latest news, m/fers on the West and South sides will still be worshipping death and performing the usual public ritual sacrifices on each other that the rest of every key else has come to expect from them over the last 40+ years...
>Pffft!<
"We're gonna fix The Police..."
Sell that crazy shit somewhere else...
We're up to the ceiling and spilling out the damned second floor windows with the stuff.
The same ol' funky, greasy, eye-watering political turds slipped into a different pocket when they thought nobody was paying attention...
The word is "Fuckery"
and somewhere, people are actually applauding this.
I liked him better when he was accused of killing old people at his nursing homes. I sure hope he isn't a democrat in elephant clothing.
Meet the new boss... same as the old boss.
Huberman is like a bad penny.
Meeks and Brooks were on a campaign commercial for Rauner. Gee i wonder if they were promised something? Same ole stuff. You do something for me and I'll do something for you.
Huberman In addition to his other qualaities, tried to use his CTA time to get credit on our pension. Is he still OTJ?
Well at least they should know where all the skeletons are buried.
"Meet the new boss,...same as the old boss."
From the ironically titled "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who.
Yeah, right.
Other than the Clear system, Huberman fucked up everything else he touched...the CTA, the Chicago Public Schools...maybe 'ol Hubie is Rauner's Boyztown connection!
PLEASE! This guy was an insider democrat the whole time. Well played by the powers the be for getting him in. Total chess move. Will do the dirty work for the democrats and the republicans will look bad. P.S the Daley clan still in play. Pulling the strings..
No doubt in my mind that Rauner is a democratic plant to rid Quinn and spread the blame to come
"Son of a bitch. Give me my vote back. Edgar equals the UN-INDICTED PUBLIC OFFICIAL "A" back in the 1990s. He was planning a run for senator, but had a "Heart condition" that "forced" him to withdrawal from the race. Illinois ended up with Carol Mosely-Braun.
Bill Daley? Anything Daley is a big FUCK YOU every Rauner voter.
Meeks? A power hungry false man of god. Huge ego on a semi-dwarf.
Huberman? Here's a phrase for you: "Way over his head once he left the patrolman's position."
Why don't we have a return of Bob Cellini?
This is a crock of shit.
CAROL MARIN. FUSCO, AND NOVAK: just when you thought things might slow down in Illinois politics, this crap happens. John Kass, I'm glad you're still around.
The whole point of the Combine tapping Rauner was to kick the one honest guy to the curb, preferably to a jail cell, and pin the pension heist on the Republicans.
The Mexican says;
A Wolf in Sheep's clothing...
Huberman? Are you kidding me??

Rahm and Rauner Are Vacation Buddies in Montana — Fly Fishing, Anyone?
Published Oct. 2, 2013, at 2:30 p.m.
"Montana. Big sky country. Beautiful. Hey, isn’t Rahm staying at Bruce Rauner’s place around here somewhere?
"It’s Rauner, after all, who advised Rahm in the late ’90s to make his fortune as an investment banker and who hired him to represent GTCR in the purchase of a home-security company from SBC Communications. Proceeds from that deal, among others, put the Clinton operative, who had no prior business experience or education, on the fast track to earning $18 million in under 3 years. Fortune in place, Rahm sprinted down the road to elective office.
"...when I asked Rauner about his Montana spread, he was obviously not going to share any of its charms. Rauner doesn’t mention Montana on his website, any more than he mentions his house in Winnetka or the penthouse at 340 E. Randolph Street, overlooking Millennium Park.
"It was Tom Brokaw...who revealed on-air that Rahm has taken up fly-fishing. [He told] a “personal” story about Rahm, and chuckled at the utter incongruity of our hyperkinetic mayor partaking of a sport that requires “patience, rhythm, and solitude.” Brokaw described Rahm as “thrashing” at the water and swearing at the trout. “Trout have never heard [such] language as they have from Rahm if they don’t cooperate with him.”
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/Felsenthal-Files/October-2013/Rahm-Rauner/
"Rauner’s main base — other wealthy people — [helped] him flood the state with ads, but even a new Carhartt coat and old van have not made a mean boss into an endearing buddy.
"Two of his role models are former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and current Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, both of whom started out by trying — with considerable success — to destroy public employee unions. Rauner has made it clear he wants to take on the public employee unions in Illinois...
"Run the state like a business?
"[Rauner's] GCTR had also assembled a chain of nursing homes, Trans Healthcare, Inc., for which Rauner had been making decisions four years after it was founded, the Chicago Tribune discovered — not the one year that Rauner claimed he had been involved. During those years, the nursing homes were sued and charged over $1 billion for at least six wrongful deaths. At the same time, investors, including GTCR, created a financial shell for all of the chain liabilities that was turned over to one of the residents of the nursing homes, thus protecting the assets of the investors.
"Then there was yet another disquieting twist in the final weeks of the campaign. The Chicago Sun-Times, recently purchased by a group of investors including Rauner and still owned by many of his friends, pulled Dave McKinney, the paper’s long-time statehouse political reporter, off his reporting on the nursing home story and all politics on the grounds of questionable appearances because his wife works as a political consultant.
"Independent political reporter Rich Miller denounced Rauner’s intervention, the Sun-Times’ quashing of its own reporter’s solid work, and the Sun-Times’ unrevealed conflicts of interest in suddenly abandoning its relatively new policy of not making endorsements for a special exception — an editorial endorsing Rauner."

Want good PR? Just buy yourself a newspaper.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
I bet they won't even have the decency to give us a reach around!
Oh, fer fuck's sake!!!!!!!
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Now it's time to cater to the people that put him in office. The corporate campaign donors.
If the taxpayers give up on the voting system because they believe that it's all rigged what do you suppose will happen next?
"Pastor Corey Brooks."
Made a big name for himself sitting on top of some old building. Did his $20 million come in yet? Any "community center" get built there?

Astonishing, isn't it?
The Interchangeable Everyman. From socket to socket to socket, like a God-damned light bulb.
As was said about our new "Ebola Czar" -- can anyone remember his name, even five minutes later? -- even a contagious disease is merely a "management challenge," a job for some lawyer.
Makes you re-think the whole concept of "landing on your feet."
>cymbal crash<
Another Huberman saltation! "Transition Team!"
Waiting off Stage Left -- Rahm will introduce his "French clowns on fifty-foot stilts" any minute now...
So who helped put this together? Valerie Jarrett?
Surely there's a spot for David Axelrod.
At this rate, we might as well call Billy Crystal, the ultimate knocking-at-the-door, please-let-me-in-I'll-do-anything guy.
What "transition?" It's all the same people again.
...and again.
Change the names but the song remains the same! Same old knuckleheads on the Titanic! 🚣
All he needs to round out that crew is Chicago's legendary, Lar 'America First' Daley. (Google him)
Not to be confused with Richard 'ME First' Daley.
"...two years ago, in preparation for his run for Illinois governor, Rauner began making large donations to national Republican and conservative groups. Illinois Tea Party organizations looked past his sordid political history and his socially liberal positions and endorsed him in the GOP primary anyway, trumpeting him as Ronald Reagan and Scott Walker rolled in one. Yet Rauner has named Bill Daley — who, again, was formerly President Obama's chief of staff — to his transition team.
"Back in medieval times, some groups of Catholic bishops began to sell indulgences to the ignorant masses. It was simple: Pay a fee to the church and escape suffering in purgatory’s frying pan. It was said at the time, “As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, a soul from purgatory springs.”
"If a candidate with Rauner’s history can buy political absolution with donations, after being a major donor to the Democratic Party, Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU, then why bother with the seemingly petty exercise of living by a conservative creed?"
http://spectator.org/articles/60914/think-twice-about-illinoiss-crony-republican-governor-elect
Hey! Leave Huberman alone! He's currently the highly successful CEO of TeacherMatch, a company that is making millions off peddling online teacher evaluation tools to school districts nation-wide. It's for the kids!
Let's see how it plays out before passing judgement. Brooks has been speaking out against the democrats as well as other members of the black community. Every thing has a reason and strategy.
A loser circle jerk---except for former Governor Edgar.
Ha ha Raunerites. Now you got the likes of police haters Meeks and Brooks and inept hacks Daley and Huberman setting state policy and having Republican clout.
If you had looked at the big picture you'd have seen that Quinn was not going to finish his term and the Republicans would have a stronger presence in Illinois government.
Now you got a lame duck governor controlled by Emanuel and Madigan who is going to cut some pensions state constitution be damned.
Welcome to the new day in Illinois government. ..not !!!
is Huberman out of our pension fund?
WOW ~ is Illinois f#*ked!
He better not take my pension!!!!
Ron Hubberman is coming out of the wood works, you say?
Ron Huberman, again? He's got to have compromising photo's of somebody somewhere.
And you, SCC, suggested he might be a better choice than Quinn? Despite all his pandering, Quinn wasn't lining his pockets and was least likely to modify public employee pensions. Rauner is a fraud. As is every single person his entire transition team. I'll take a Catholic cohabiting with a black woman in a small house in St. Williams Parish before I can accept a thieving, conniving hedge fund manager who never built anything, never made anything, never removed a lesion from a sickly child's brain, and will conspire with those listed to screw policemen.
You didn't think Rauner was a real republican did you?
He sold his soul to get Meeks' & Brooks' support......two huge cop haters. Daley is a hack. Edgar and Poshard are window dressing.
Huberman was the Tech-Wiz that Barb McDonald sponsored directly through Lil Dick Daley. Unfortunately for the Chicago Police Department, all of Humberman's technology revolution was misguided and for years we had computer systems that were not properly fused together. Ron was always arrogant and slick hiding his homosexuality until he was outed while head of the Chicago Public Schools, where he was also a failure. So based on his record of screwing up everything he touches; I predict he will be the new head of the Illinois State Police! Remember, they once had a former CPD Sgt. as their head and now they have a CPD former exempt. Huberman was a CPD Exempt, though he never was a Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain or Commander. He went from Patrol Officer to Exempt! If Chicago was Legit, this would be impressive. Unfortunately, Chicago is not legit, so this was just another example of clout."G"
meet your new governor, same as the old governor. I thought this guy ran on a "kick the machine out of Springfield" platform? Then he puts a Daley on the stage with him? Incredible…I think we just been had!
I voted for Rauner and still think he'll do fine by us.
I agree this doesn't look good and doesn't inspire confidence about turning over a new leaf.
I also know that the low-info voters and TV viewers must be reassured that their criminals still have an open door to the governor's mansion.
This is mostly window dressing and "reaching out"?
Has Scott Turow been appointed to anything yet?
Hey Rauner. WTF ?
To be fair, his committee list is quite comprehensive. He has a little bit of everything on there. Unless he picks the minds of these people who have experience with the machine, how will he know what he's is up against? The last thing we need is someone who picks a group of people that tell him or her only what he/she wants to hear.
This is a list of people to whom he can say, "Ok; tell me your concerns. Tell me why you think we're failing. Tell me what you did that worked, or, didn't work."
I wouldn't read too much into it at this point.
You can't do a proper job unless you know what you're up against, and moreover, who might be an enemy to actual progress.
Hahaha
Suckers!
Rauner slapped every Republican voter in the face with his dick. That's why I voted for Grimm, the third party candidate. He'ld sooner die than appoint Hubberbut or a Daley or a Meeks.

" I sure hope he isn't a democrat in elephant clothing."
That describes most of the GOP nationally now. There is very little difference between the Republicrats and Democans.
At the end of the day, all of those politicians of both parties meet up for happy hour at their watering hole and talk about how they screwed their voters.
Same shit - difference toilet.
Hubermans mom donated money to the ex mayor Daley,who placed her son into his wonderful future,he makes positive memories to a certain group I hear say!
JIM EDGAR ???? WTF?
Robocalls on Elction Eve to claim election judges need more training: the hanging chads of 2014. Same old treachery, same results.
Don't blame me, I voted for the lesser of the two evils.
Always remember Huberman drove a school bus in college& according to him that made him duly qualified to run the CTA.
Is this why Daley dropped out of the governor's race? Rauner promised him a job and say-so in his "new" government?
Huberman is a Rham guy
Meeks wanted to tax pensions when he was in office, I 'll bet that hasnt changed
Wait; the honeymoon will begin soon - grab your ankles, folks. This may hurt for a while.
I second that article as a must-read on who Rauner really is:

This is like something out of the Chicago Tribune's "Blue Sky" "enterpreneurial" section; a spectacular display of "those who have developed the skill set to parasitize a complex society."

There is a limit to this kind of thing.
Once again...after the bait and switch has occurred, all the people who have let this happen are now all up in arms. But when the few who said "something is rotten" prior to the disaster, the sheep said "stop with the conspiracy crap it's all legit"
Good luck to ya all, I'm now very pleased I left when I did.

"New book details Rahm Emanuel, Bill Daley, Bruce Rauner relationship
"A...book about Mayor Rahm Emanuel is drawing attention, the Chicago Reader writes, and the author goes into detail about a deal involving the "Mayor 1%," Bill Daley and GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner that raked in $18 million for Emanuel:
"In perhaps the most informative chapter of Mayor 1%, Cashing In, Lydersen writes about the years from 1998 to 2002, after Emanuel left the Clinton White House and before he was elected congressman from a north-side district.
"That's when he utilized his "golden Rolodex" [That's catching on, huh? You're welcome.] to rake in more than $18 million as an investment banker. Among the deals he helped put together was "the purchase of the home alarm company SecurityLink from SBC Communications, then run by his longtime friend and former White House colleague Bill Daley."
"That deal also involved investment banker Bruce Rauner..."

Wonderful photo here of Emanuel and Rauner strolling around with bottles of The Good Stuff, taking in the clean mountain air...
Emanuel-Rauner ties create campaign subplot
"Just a few months before announcing plans to become Chicago's next Democratic mayor, Rahm Emanuel strolled down the gravel path to a Montana resort restaurant with Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, both men smiling as they carried bottles of wine.
"In his hand, Emanuel carried a bottle of Napa Valley Reserve. The wine — which a spokeswoman says was not Emanuel's — is so exclusive it is available only through a private vineyard whose members pay six figures to join the club.
"It was not the only time Emanuel, then chief of staff to President Barack Obama, has been a guest of the venture capitalist, who owns thousands of acres of ranchland and homes out West. Their relationship — steeped in the high-stakes investment banking business and a shared approach to remaking public education — is no secret to anyone who follows Illinois politics..."
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/ct-rahm-emanuel-bruce-rauner-20140829-story.html
I would love to see the percentage of cops that both voted for Shields and for Rauner. I'm guessing it's almost the same. Can we make sure they aren't allowed to vote for anything anymore.
OT: Hey Sergeants. Just heard Dean and his boys launched Retired Sergeant Mike Voight from the FOP Board of Directors even though the FOP bylaws allowed him to run and serve.
So, they take his dues money for how many years and then tell him his membersip doesn't mean shit? This could happen to any retired sergeant. Why would anyone continue to pay dues to an organization that can screw them over so easily? I know I won't be paying mine unless he is reinstated.

once again the residents of this fine state cast a vote for a fraud, Rauner is in bed with Rahm, together they will begin taxing our pensions, fuck with the pensions and this liberal rich prick will destroy anyone who messes with Rev Meeks and his church people, remember what trotter did to OEMC. well look ahead mates.!!!! And Bill Daley on the transitional team too, gee, always a POS Daley involved somewhere!!!!!
Did Rauner camp interfere with this Sun-Times reporter's job?
By Lynne Marek October 17, 2014
"A Chicago Sun-Times reporter hired former federal prosecutor Patrick Collins to investigate whether the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner tried to interfere with his employment after the newspaper ran a story unfavorable to the politician.
"Mr. Collins said in an interview with Crain's that the Rauner campaign attempted to retaliate against Sun-Times political reporter Dave McKinney after the paper ran the story about Mr. Rauner allegedly verbally threatening a top executive of a company controlled by Mr. Rauner's onetime investment firm. Mr. Rauner denied that report through a spokesman.
"RAUNER ENDORSEMENT
"Mr. Rauner previously owned a 10 percent stake in Chicago Sun-Times parent Wrapports. Mr. Rauner sold that stake to Wrapports chief Mr. Ferro last year for $5 million before he decided to run for governor.
"The Sun-Times today announced that it would once again begin making political endorsements, reversing a decision it made nearly three years ago after Mr. Ferro, Mr. Rauner and other wealthy Chicagoans purchased the newspaper company in 2011.
"The paper said today that its first endorsement under the revived practice would be published on Sunday. The endorsement now appears on the Sun-Times website under the headline "Bruce Rauner for governor."

Does Quinn have the balls to run for Mayor ???
He carried Chicago , he could Beat The Ballerina Dress off ballerina boy . Young kids gunned down every week , schools closed , no casino ,pot holes everywhere .
Mr . Quinn , help the citizens of Chicago , it's time to enter the big league and become The first illinois governor to serve as Mayor of the City of Chicago .
Run Pat Run .
Kinda makes you want to puke. Not only Chicago, but IL is lost forever.

Ok as a Sgt I still pay the 60 bucks or whatever it is each year to still belong to Fop. That being said Voight or for that matter any person that is not a Po has no business serving or even running for Fop office. Voight was a union suck ass his whole career and parlayed that into a meritorious Sgt spot right before he retired. Then he had the balls to run for an office in a Po union. So I'm glad he got thrown out.

In NYC if you are a Tier 3 officer, yes, that is sadly what you risk your lives for. I read they are trying to change that to the previous three quarters tax free duty disability but ultra liberal Democrat Mayor de Blasio is against restoring the line of duty benefit.
Don't anyone on CPD tell me ever again how good they have it over on NYPD and curse things here. Wait and see how Gov Rauner treats the police. Yes, I know what he said. Did anyone bother to get that in writing? My first wife said she would love me till death do us part too.

Meeks, Luberman and Bill Daley, among others, on his transition team??
Ok I'm waiting for the punch line cause this has to be a joke...... maybe he could add Masters, Masters, Masters to his team as well.
I dislike Quinn and Rauner.
But all you Rauner voters supported the wrong horse in this race.
In Illinois the only difference between the Republicans and Democrats are the names.
Both parties sucks and both are going to steal your pensions.
Sometimes an anti Obama vote is a pro Obama vote.
Think term limits and defeating the Cook County machine.
Calm down, everybody. Jesus Christ. Get some perspective, and maybe read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
To the pro-Quinn trolls: what the fuck are you gloating about? You wanted Quinn, now you're saying Rauner is like Quinn, but you don't like him? Are you retarded? Drop your dogma. "Ain't nobody got time for that".
To those who are posting biased articles from biased resources, please. Your articles cherry-pick, just like Breitbart. If you do not know how the business world works, then I suggest you take a class or two. We are the sad by-product of the dumbing down of education, and the indoctrination of generations. How embarrassing.
If you think an outsider can step inside of Illinois politics without getting to know his or her enemies on an intimate level, then you've got another thing coming.
How do you know that Rauner was not using Rham? Moreover, whatever Rauner has donated to in the past as a businessman, such as Planned Parenthood, have we conservatives not been bitching about the fact the private individuals/industry should take up the slack? Well, he DID. So shut up.
Why don't you just let the guy try to fix Illinois, regardless of who he calls upon? Now, if he gets in there, and totally screws us, then fine. Bitch.
But in the meantime, let's incorporate some logic, some faith and some damn perspective.

You mean that $250k the he donated to Daley's campaigns wasn't a clue?
I have been advocating against rauner (not pro Quinn) for two years on this site and in person, and every time I said he was shady, every time I said don't trust a business man to be noble to invest that much Money in himself and not expect a return, I get my pee pee slapped buy many of you. I have come to this simple conclusion: after 11 years with this city, I don't give a fuck!!! Give me my pension money I paid in, ill reinvest it in the few options of 401k plans the city will match (all funded and invested in by rauner), and ill take it and enjoy time on this earth with my family. Hopefully ill have enough to be comfortable till I die at around 80 god be willing. I'm done trying to persuade stupidity, especially in this department and this state. When 67-70% of Illinois voters vote to raise the minimum wage and then vote for a guy who is on record saying he would reduce or abolish it... some people you just can't reach. Which is the way they want it...well, they get it.
"Ferguson looters list of demands.....

Yeah, I know, "peacemakers" are requesting unprecedented 48-hour advance notice on any grand jury decision. Why? To stockpile Molotovs, burn down the Quik Stop again?
..and again?
Looters have demands. Got it.
I voted for Rauner and still think he'll do fine by us.
I agree this doesn't look good and doesn't inspire confidence about turning over a new leaf.
I also know that the low-info voters and TV viewers must be reassured that their criminals still have an open door to the governor's mansion.
This is mostly window dressing and "reaching out"?
Has Scott Turow been appointed to anything yet?

You can safely be discounted as "terminally confused and clinically insane."
I do much better with a fine Merlot, all by myself.

Holy hell dude, I am so tired of trying to read your crappy ass posts. Please stop, you are not a wordsmith. You think you are a modern day Mark Twain, however, you ALWAYS fall woefully short. Just spit it out or STFU please. Please.

Holy hell dude, who died and left you as literary critic and grammar nanny in charge?
You whine, bitch and cry like a school girl.
Is trolling SCC part of your homework?
Huberman to be named the new director of ISP
"Why don't you just let the guy try to fix Illinois, regardless of who he calls upon? Now, if he gets in there, and totally screws us, then fine. Bitch.
"But in the meantime, let's incorporate some logic, some faith and some damn perspective."

"Logic and perspecitve" were all perfectly available to the residents of the Illinois counties who carried for Rauner. They ignored the direst warnings from more then a year ago. Well, f__k them. Sorry, but there it is.
I love you, but you f__ed up.
Includes all my downstate friends with their kids' arms missing from a split-second encounter with a PTO while helping Dad get it in under the lights and bad weather coming. Ag is a rough biz. Like you would know.
"Faith?" Gotta be kidding. Only a cultist would have "faith" in such an obvious "bad actor."
So you qualify. As a cultist, I mean. Woo-hoo. Ain't getting you no $140,000 per year bottle of Napa Secret Rahm I. Emanuel Reserve. On someone else's dime.
Huh?
Hang in there. Your worst dreams will yet be realized.
Underdstand that pro wreckers/salvagers Roy Strom have been retained to try to get Rahm's half-sunken "Haunted House" barge away from smashing against Navy Pier. Try to patch, pump up air, refloat and sneak the pathetic mess up the river late at night when they can open bridges and not f__ up traffic too bad.
Wonder if they will dump it in the same vacant lot next to Rahm's slightly fire-damaged "Victorian mansion" from the last waterfront do...
"Faith," he says.
>pfft<

A__hole.
Honestly.. I just can't wait to get away from all this drama.
Knew it the minute the commercial came on and his wife said, 'I am a democrat but I am voting for my husband......"
**************
Democrats lie and never ever vote for Repubs... so then logic says he is a democrat......
again be careful what you ask for hahahaha.....
You didn't think Rauner was a real republican did you?
He played many of you republicans and he is laughing right now. Look out Illinois he has only just begun.
Note not one retired or real law enforcement officer is one the transaction team. How can that be?
Not such a bad strategy really. He gets to pick people's brains, make sure he's taking all facts and past history into account, and they're less likely to badmouth him if they have a seat at the table. He doesn't have to take everyone's advice. And did you read that he's been getting policy advice from the Walker and Daniels camps? (And before you start in, check the facts on how Walker's measures affected the police and fire pensions, and the endorsements he got.)

Rev Meeks and Rev Brooks, two fakers.
I have been following this blog for years and in the last two years, I've been advocating against rauner (not pro Quinn) but I have adopted a new attitude toward this department, city, and state: I don't five a fuck anymore!
After 11 years with this city and growing up here, I will take all the all my money I paid into my pension, reinvest it in the 401k style system rauner puts in place (which he invests heavily in and will make millions) and give up everything promised to me because thats what Illinois voted for. How can people vote 67-70% to increase the minimum wage, then vote in a guy that is on record opposing the idea of minimum wage as a whole! And cops voted for him. Middle class voted for him. Quinn is not better, but not vindictive, just dumb! Rahm could not expect help from Springfield and forced to fix his "crisis". I wonder what kinds of rare liquor they will be drinking at rauners ranch this time? Im glad rauner voters believe that a wise business man invested 26mil in his own campaign because he cares about Illinois...and doesn't stand to gain ten times that amount in deals already made! If you argue he is noble and cares for Illinois more than a return on his investment, he is not a business man at all and in fact dumber than quinn!
If I am not mistaken Mark Donahue got Mike Voight made Sgt. meritoriously. Good riddance.
a lesson to all, the left pocket and the right pocket, are on the same pair of pant
Woof woof.Woof woof woof ! Bear said, " I got Mike Voight made meritorious Sgt." And he never even threw me a bone.
What's the story on the black preachers delivering their wards to Rauner? Hear tell one of them is the Right Rev. Jimmy Meeks who got big bucks for performing this amazing miracle for Rauner. South side black folks voting overwhelmingly Republican? WTF?
