Big Surprise Here
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel has deep ties to a lobbyist for a government relations firm that represents Xerox State and Local Solutions Traffic Solutions, the city’s new red-light camera operator, according to a report published Tuesday by International Business Times.
IBT reviewed city records and connected the dots between Emanuel’s former congressional aide, John Borovicka, the mayor and the red-light camera program.
According to city records, Borovicka was hired in October 2013 by John C. Corrigan & Associates as a subcontractor to lobby on the firm’s behalf. Those records show Corrigan had been hired by Xerox in February of the same year. Just 18 days after Borovicka was hired by Corrigan, the Emanuel administration gave the $44 million red-light contract to Xerox.
IBT reports that the city documents filed by Xerox showed Borovicka was paid to lobby for the contract in October 2013. However, the connection between Borovicka and Emanuel was not part of city lobbying disclosures Borovicka filed.
Certainly seems like business as usual - everyone gets paid off one way or the other while actual city obligations like services, public safety, potholes, pensions, all wither and die.

Anyone seen NEELY???
Emanuel is not an honest man. Next he will say we'll everyone does business this way! Can't wait for him to move out of Chicago again
The ideal combination of cameras for public safety is a combination of red light cameras, speed cameras and the occasional camera set mid block to catch jay walkers. That combination will generate some serious fines.
And we keep re-electing these criminals.
Have you seen Emanuel's newest campaign commercial? Quiet, contrite, nearly-apologetic Rahm, speaking to the camera...
He's CHANGED! He's a NEW MAN! Hallelujah!! Vote for him!
And then he'll revert to the person he always was. The condescending, snide, manipulative, lying, carpetbagging, dirty tricks guy he always was.
Slightly off-topic,
But does anybody else get the impression that Amy Rule (the woman who is married to Rahm Emanuel) told her husband, "I didn't sign on for this" and pretty much refuses to participate in the game?
... and Rahm kept overtime retro after you earned it.
... and Rahm pocketed out of grade while you continue to perform the duties.
I think If Rham wants the mayors seat so bad he should have it, then instead of an inauguration, a tar and feathering should take place. Call up France and ask em if they have any guillotines they are willing to part with for some used speed cameras.
Worse then business as usual.
Rahm Emanuel is a sick maniac.
His obvious personality disorder has been well documented.
American Thinker ran an article on "successful psychopaths" a few years ago. Look it up.
By deep ties do you mean they tied each other up?
Chuy should rent some wedding dresses, and leave each one in a home in different city wards.....than he can say, "I am a Chicagoan!"
For this election, everyone should write in the name of either Ernie Banks or Minnie Minoso. Since so many dead people vote in every Chicago election, why can't a dead person be mayor?
Rahm is a conniving sack of arrogant shit. He needs to go. Nothing good to say about that liar.
Are you registered to vote?
Most would vote for his wife .
How humble he looks , not like when questioned about red light tickets , I paid them. No more questions , thank you as he walks away snubbing the news media and citizens of chicago .
Who contributed all his money , not the working man in $1?$2,&$5 contributions .
He's a 1% member , Garcia is a working man .
If Garcia offered to remove the cameras, he'd pick up a lot of votes.
Unreal that posters are still barking about late retro checks, out of grade checks and the like. Wait until the city files bankruptcy. Some still do not get it.
Big money from the one percenters is trying to buy this election. Rahm has loyalty to them. He will pay them back if he wins and we the common people of Chicago will pay.
We will pay in red light tickets, school closers, pension cut backs, police and fire cut backs, increased crime,more charter schools, etc.
I say let the one percenters buy all the ads on tv, radio, newspapers. Spend 30 million and then we will get our city back as the door hits Rahm in the ass on the way OUT. Bi-Polar prick.
Follow.
The Muthafuckin'.
Money.
You pension gettin', first responder churls remember when Rahm jumped off the plane from D.C. and was literally running from firehouse to firehouse telling Firemen, "You're gonna have to learn to bleed?"
What about, "We're gonna stick it in the Cops ear?"
Funny...
Rahm's interns are keeping Chicago cold by relentlessly flapping their dick-beaters about the "tough choices" he's had to make...
Neglecting the neighborhoods.
Wholesale diversion of monies allocated for public safety.
Getting a Police and Fire lay-off through attrition.
Refusal to hire and eliminating budgeted positions while stealing paid-for Police and Fire resources tax paying neighborhoods.
Having McLawEnforcementGypsy revise manpower numbers downward and suppress bids so that Policemen couldn't flee to tax paying areas where they're very much wanted and even appreciated.
Stonewalling/Trying to get out of the city's owed $600 Million payment to our pension.
"The city is broke and we can't make that balloon payment to you Cops without you giving some back..."
Yet Rahm in his first year as mayor, announced over $1 Billion in spending initiatives (and much much mucho mas more since then) to keep his crowd-finders happy and the Catered To Constituents relatively quiet.
(Don't forget the millions in bribe money paid to Cease-Fire...)
Meanwhile he's taxing, fining and hidden fee-ing and otherwise punishing living shit out of everybody who has the foolish notion of trying to keep some dollars for themselves during this era of the Great Income Redistribution.
Rahm's "tough decisions" were already dictated to him by his Wall Street/LaSalle St banker/hedge fund cronies.
Union Membership + State/Municipal Employment = You have a decent job and a pension the Wall Street/LaSalle St. banker/hedge fund cronies would love to snatch from you but can't because your pension is shielded by some legal protections x They're crawling all over Springfield trying to coerce favorable legislation in order to divest you first responder churls of your pensions in order to give the political powers permanent insulation from criminal culpability and insuring that no future investigation will be logically walked back to the Wall St./LaSalle St. banker/hedge fund cronies...
Yeah... People hate word problems ;^)
No federal investigation.
Laws changed to facilitate the theft.
Nobody goes to prison...
Except the first responder churls who take up arms
to fight back.
Meanwhile, copious popular outrage at the "out of control cops refusing to accept cuts/snatch-backs will be ginned-up by the media propaganda apparatus.
Yeah...
Rahm's "tough decisions."
Hey... How is that other doozy called Obama-Care doing?
What?
31 states in litigation because they see it for the
colossal flaming turd it is?
"Tough Decisions" by Progressives make for grief and aggravation for good people trying to mind their business.
Any Police Officer that votes for Rahm Emanuel is the same kind of Softball Goof that would have voted for Mike Shields or Dean Angelo. Rahm's idea of "Pension Reform" is to steal your Pension Fund with the help of his wine sipping butt buddy Bruce Rauner...
Incredible! Nothing on the major local news stations. Do the Feds do anything?
Another guy that didn't score 100 on the ethics test.
I hear Rham is considering dusting off his old uncle Sgt.
Les Smoluwitz (retired) to don his old uniform to make a commercial.
"The Politico" has a new story on the Chicago mayoral race that has been linked to the Drudge Report. The topic is the Chicago mayoral election and the conclusion is that Rahm is in for the fight of his political life and he could very well lose the election to Garcia.
Rahm's quoted in today's Sun Times as saying the financial mess we're in is not his fault. He said he's done what he could but said it'll take more than just 4 years to fix things.
Ok Rahm I'll grant you that you inherited a hot gooey mess from ShortShanks. But over the last four years how have you been working on shoring up the police and fire pensions?? You've repeatedly refused to make the city's required pension deposits because you don't like our pension system. You also have tirelessly badgered the media and state legislature about how we need pension reform (aka cut and gut). So we're supposed to believe that the next four years would be any different?
Fuck you Rahm. You're a slick asshole who is trying to fuck your first responders out of their very hard earned pensions.
You sure seem to find plenty of money for DePaul arena and a corresponding new el station though didn't you? Exactly how many taxpayers were for that idea?
Wait a minute. Certainly it's shady to say the least but there are a few fingers to point here. The company that hired the goof, the goof, and the ballet dancer are all equally guilty of being corrupt. The only victims here are the ones not mentioned- the public and the other companies who might have wanted to put a bid in. Where's the morals of the company and what punishment for allowing the game to persist and being a player should the company recieve?
How can this be possible ? All employees of the City of Chicago must take the on line ethics test. He should have known better..SMH
Rahm makes a cheesy used car salesman look like a saint.
But, isn't March suppose to be "Make Rahm Look Good Month" ?
How dare the media report this frivolous oversight and only weeks before an election!
Think the companies involved had exchanged emails with city officials?
Shut him down & cut off his cash grab.
Dump Rahm
I just saw Rahms new TV commercial. He says " I know I rub some people the wrong way and I talk when I should listen " Pure bullshit you'll never change.
DePaul, El Station, Maggie Daley Park, the train trail, just to name a few that you have $$$$$$ for, however can't fund the pension? Fuck you Rahm. Chuy all the way
Does Rahms house come up on the tax rolls? Remember Amy put it in a charity so they don't have to pay real estate taxes
Some other things the Nine-Digit-Midget is famous for

enjoy
BTW you don't Andy shaw making a peep about this
No Rahama No McCarthy
No 10.5 hour Days
Operation Bitch and Moan: Rahm needs to hear a message from the compliant masses. That message is: Get the Fuck Out!
The other 1%ers who hired Rahm as their hatchet man will have to get rid of him because he is no longer effective to serve their needs.
Retire Rhama for GOOD
Mr. Jesus Garcia doesn't have $30,000,000 for TV commercials , but he doesn't have to . The citizens of Chicago know he was an Alderman , he is a man of the working class neighborhood . He is not backed by the 1% of wealthy , he did not use FF Bombs on Ms . Karen Lewis . He has support of cps and every female in chicago . No man should ever swear at a woman .
And we keep re-electing these criminals.

The Democratic Machine created this situation.
No one of any value can run, let alone win in Chicago/Cook County, and this disease is spreading throughout the state.
There will be no recovering from this political tailspin, at least not as long as these criminals and their families (e.g. Madigan, Daley, etc.) are in office.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/03/04/de-blasio-to-announce-addition-of-muslim-holidays-to-city-schools-schedule/
Wait will we get them here? 2 more holidays to cod calendar?
Is it true that Jeremiah Joyce was at Chuy's HQ on election nite? Does that mean that Daley's behind Chuy?
And I have to file a Ethics statement and financial disclosure statements each year???
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF
Did Rahm have his fluffy fuzzy sweater on when his hatchet woman Barbara Bird-dog Bennet harassed and fired pregnant teachers and new mothers from their jobs?
He may have forgot "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world."
Too all the mothers out there, this could have been you that got harassed and canned.
Remember his ill treatment of Chicago's Teachers Union President Karen Lewis, swearing and verbally abusing her for fulfilling her professional duties.
Vote accordingly.

O K Chicken Little, what makes you so sure that the ski is falling? Do you really think that anyone would let the city go bankrupt? Even a vindictive little prick like rahm who might do it for spite, couldn't do it because of all the special interests tied to the city wouldn't allow it. You don't kill the golden cow. You keep milking it.
You change mayors and they switch too!

True he's not without reproach but the lesser of 2 evils, let's give him a try because 4 more years of the liar our pensions will be diminished or gone, dean what do you say? I filled out fop survey let's see will you be honest? Or will rahm promise you more to give "your endorsement" which is not the collectives endorsement but yours alone!

Everyone knows you can't change a zebras stripes. RAHM is, and will always be, an arrogant, self centered major league asshole.
Dean and his dream team met with Emanuel and a deal was cut. A few months ago Shields did say deals are cut always. There must be some truth to this. Call the union and find out if Emanuel did meet with Dean and the team.....
