Dean, What's This?
First of all, this arrived in the mail Saturday:
But you've already announced that no endorsement will be forthcoming. Maybe you could release the actual totals so we can all have a good laugh?
But this here is actually more disturbing. We got this in an e-mail:
But this here is actually more disturbing. We got this in an e-mail:
- The FOP endorsed Amy Crawford for alderman of the 46th Ward. She's in a runoff with James Cappleman, who got the Police Sergeants endorsement.
Crawford has Marc Kaplan working with her campaign. Familiar name? Marc Kaplan, the guiding light behind CopWatch. The roving band of misfits who listened to the scanners and jumped on their bikes to film the cops. The same Marc Kaplan who was sued by an officer for encouraging kids to make false statements on police reports.
The third candidate, who didn't make the runoff, was Denise Davis. Kaplan worked for her campaign. The campaign manager, a guy named Cortez Duqette, has gone rogue. He's spilling the beans on what went on behind the scenes.
Here's the email linking Kaplan and candidate Crawford. https://www.facebook.com/150856738458364/photos/a.151266755084029.1073741828.150856738458364/344204319123604/?type=1
Duqette says that Crawford's campaign also paid former Aldercreature Helen Schiller's son consulting fees. He's a lawyer who sues cops for a living. http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/2011/04/whats-in-name.html
All tied up with a bow. The FOP-endorsed candidate in bed with the head of CopWatch and a lowlife lawyer who loves to sue cops.
It happened the same way in 2011. FOP and Kaplan endorsing the same candidate, Molly Phelan. http://www.uptownupdate.com/2011/04/endorsement-tracker-marc-kaplan.html
I wish FOP would stop making endorsements.
You know what? So do we. Hey Dean, what the fuck?

Chicago corruption is widespread, it even extends into the nooks and crannies of the CPD.
Napolitano for sure in 41, former CPD, now CFD!!
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Just more corrupt politics in Chicago.
Deano counted the votes before he even passed out the ballots.
Can you imagine the phone call Deano will make to Rahm Election Night if Rahm LOOSES.
Ring-- Ring, Rahm, "Hello"
Deano, "Hello Mr. Rahm. This is Deano. Remember me?"
Rahm, "Yeah, Go Fuck Yourself!"
Now if Rahm WINS...
Ring -- Ring, Rahm "Hello"
Deano, "Hello Mr. Rahm. This is Deano. Remember me?"
Rahm, "Yeah, Go Fuck Yourself!"
The payback for Dean when he ends his job as FOP President will be another job paying far more money than the Dept pays him.
All I know is Dean better call Brock Merck in 014 in order to get his reputation back. This defines why legit guys need to be running FOP.
for many reasons as a retiree i no longer belong to FOP
I didn't get mine until Saturday either. Most of the time, if there is time-dated material in the newsletter, it seems like it arrives on the last day or a day after of the event/deadline. I get it that they write it ahead of time and then it goes to the printers, then has to be mailed, but it's been this way for a while. Maybe my mailman reads it first.
Great work SCC. I too would like an explanation for this. Why in gods name would FOP endorse them?!
Cortez is a complete moron...an absurd political hack wannabe take anything he says with a grain of salt.
Cappleman is Rammy's most reliable boot-lick, maybe that is why he is unworthy of the FOP endorsement.
Cappleman loves to compliment the police at CAPS meetings, on twitter...curbside. But he will sell the police down the river with whoever else Rahm asks him too.
A few people the police don't like are supporters of Crawford, big deal. Its not easy beating an incumbent in this town, who is she to turn people away.
An Alderman Crawford would be a friend to the police, stand up for the people make the city work.
Cmon do you honestly look at the FOP board and say these guys are on the ball?
They live for the stipend.
Most are in clout units and bought off fairly cheap.
Majority of them are retired with nothing to lose.
And the PREZ...
multiple degrees yet assumes everyone else in patrol can't read or figure the scam out.
10 hour day is coming yet many think it because patrol wants it.
Scam on manpower
Is it too late to get Shields and his group of Irish wannabee politicians back in the FOP?
I never thought I would say that. This Holy Roman Empire regime is embarrassing.
Dean I couldn't vote for you because of my rank. If I could have voted I would have supported you. Either fix this mess or plan on living on your disability pay exclusively because you won't be reelected.
What the fuck is right?
Did you see Dean's lame-ass excuse on the front page of the newsletter regarding these ballots not arriving earlier?
Can you say "done by design"?
Had they arrived on time, thousands would have been mailed back in time for Tiny Dancer to see that the lion's share of the Lodge 7 membership has resounding support for anyone/option OTHER than him. Then Disability Dean would've had to tap dance around the topic like a man possessed; there's much less sweating repercussions of no poll results.
How about we conduct a poll to see what percentage of the membership see Dean and The Boys as a disgusting bunch of sell-out motherf*&^ers in the pocket of the Machine? I'll betcha those results would be deep-sixed alongside the elusive "Morale Survey" results.
I say who cares if we piss off 9.5 and he's re-elected? If history's any indication, it'll be time for the next mayoral election before our next contract is ratified.
Why doesn't Dean put it right to Rahm?
Ask the little prick why he insists on prolonging the mandated payment to the pension.
Ask the prick how he can justify 100's of millions for pet projects and entitlements while ignoring the pension payment.
Ask for total transparency and immediate disclosure as to the TIF balances.
Then follow-up with when and how the rules and regulations can be changed to allow that money to be tapped for shoring up the pension funds of first responders.
And ask all of these questions publicly, Dean, such as on a radio show like WBBMs "At Issue" or on television, ala WTTWs "Chicago Tonight".
What's that, Dean? You don't want to piss off the Master? Is this sorta like the 'Gentlemen's Agreement' of not negotiating in the press? We all see how well THAT worked out for the membership, didn't we?
Enjoy what'll surely be your first - and last - term as the Prez, Deano.
Sellout.
The FOP should get out of the endorsement business is a resounding fact, except if public safety staff seek the endorsement. The vast majority of the time all the FOP endorsement process does is cause problems at the local level. Let the state and national be involved in the process, if they wish. Do you really think Dean wants to be put in the middle along with the whole Bd. of Dirs. If you do I think you are very mistaken.
I'm in 46. Looking at Crawford flyer now. Two quotes from Dean:
"Smart and Tough"
Then the following. First part appears above the Dean quote:
Amy is a Crime-Fighter. Amy's raising her son right here in the 46th Ward-so she's committed to making our neighborhoods safer.
THEN THE QUOTE FROM DEAN UNDER THAT
"We need her on our side."
Did he really say those things? Amazing.
This is why NO endorsements should be made by the FOP, unless they are current qualified police officers. Enough with cops who think they are political geniuses,
Here you go boys and girls, wonder why the rank and file do not trust the FOP board.
They email out a poll that is returned and shows the way the members feel. They then delay the News letter after it was printed since it has the same poll in it.
They just did not want to hear what the members wanted to say!
This shows bad management at FOP,
just like when the past president failed to send in the contract letter. Just trustworthy I guess
But is anyone held accountable?
I demand to know what the poll added up to prior to the FOP deciding not to back someone?
A super majority of that fop board has no clue what their purpose is of being on a board of directors. The retiree fucks look like the old farts that still read the TV Guide. We are doomed. Thanks Dean...you have no idea how to protect pensions. So what if Shields had a temporary breakdown, he never took a breather but he had a pension plan.
anyone with dirt to provide start now don't
hold back. If you know something say something.
lol
all talk and little action not surprise !!!!!
They waste paper on non sense
This is a post from the 46th Ward neighborhood blog "Uptown Update". It's a more thorough expose' regarding Amy Crawford and the problems in her campaign staff with lots of interesting comments from members of the community:

Back to the Future? Kaplan, Davis Backing Crawford for Alderman
Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Here! 46th Ward aldermanic candidate Amy Crawford has said she represents "Uptown's Future", but a recently released email to her new "team" looks a lot like a return to Uptown's Past. Some of Helen Shiller’s most fervent supporters have joined forces with Amy Crawford's campaign in her runoff challenge to James Cappleman.
http://www.uptownupdate.com/2015/03/back-to-future-kaplan-davis-backing.html
I am so happy that I didn't vote for this corrupt traitorous liar...
Grow some Balls!
How about people getting murdered in the middle of a Sunday afternoon after church in 016!
How about questioning the residency?
How about we (as policemen) can not go to the store nor park anywhere in this city without possibly catching a stray bullet. This is menard and Patterson. What's next ?
Ladies and gentleman brace your self, 016 is up for grabs.
Time to make Dr. Dean a one term President!
This demands a response at the next meeting. What the fuck indeed. And we all know that Rahm didn't get the majority of the votes. What the fuck again! Amateurs trying to play politics.
I choose Rahm, I know what I'm getting. Chuy? All promises,but how to put them forth?
This is what happens when one (slightly taller than the mayor) runs a campaign for a city college job once he is blasted out of FLOP. Well Deano looks like someone has your number and they are not the poll numbers......what were the real results of the poll. Dis you poll for the cop hating candidates you....yes you endorsed.......I think not my over zealous friend. I think not.
Dyla Hata
Does anyone really care who (if) FOP endorses? These days, in this political climate, it wouldn't surprise me if candidates run FROM any police endorsements. Nobody cares what we think anyway.
From the same idiot that is forcing these crappy 10 hours down our throats!! Don't you people get it yet?? Dean is corrupted. Nothing he is doing is good for us. End Dean. End the 10 hr BS
1 Term Dean!! As far as I see it. Anybody that gets elected is for shit. They all turn on us!
How much of our monies was WASTED of the endorsement to NO WHERE ?
Dean your an embarrassment to the working coppers, what a sham are you still taking a disability check further draining the pension? Maybe soon the working coppers at an FOP meeting will do what was done to the FOP president Mike Shields and throw you out! "What you going to do when we come for you?" Where did you get your doctorate degree "we cheat em and how" the 3 stooges academy!
No wonder you get so many angry calls! Resign please! your like a "double knot" spy talking out of 2 sides of your mouth!
Why is the FOP blowing thousands of dollars to print and mail this bullshit?
Mayoral election based upon Mob rule mentality?
(I'm voting for candidate "c" because everyone is doing it)
Lemme ask you something.
Who is going to change their vote based upon an FOP endorsement??
THINK for yourself people.
Vote Carroll!
McCarthy looks scared. No Rahm no job! All those people McCarthy put in spots look scared too. Airport the academy. You are toast. Nothing lasts forever
little bit confused with this one, got the e-mail and voted then a week and a half later got the newsletter with another slip to vote .... oh thats right its chicago.... where voting twice isn't frowned upon :)
Deano only looking out for Deano.
DeCertify
Officers run FOP 7. Without them, there would be no Membership. If all members would pick up a phone, call FOP, and tell them, No More Endorsements, Do your Jobs and quit politicing, they would have to comply or face the Wrath of the Membership. Don't let ANY Union control you, so their Big-Wigs can curry favor with scumbag politicians.
Individual Officers can judge for themselves which politician has taken good care of them, and will get their vote for another 4 years, or not.
The ballot also came email
Forget the 10 hour days. I want to work 18 hours days.
Think about it! I have nothing better going on my life than this job. I can sleep in my personal car in lot. Shit, I can sell my house. I won't have a mortgage or pay property taxes! This will cut out wasted travel time and gasoline expenses. That's it. I'm selling the Chevy Cobalt and buying a used conversion van from some hombre from 87th and Exchange. I'll have a sweet bed in the back that way I can still go dates and bring em back to my new pad! ye-ah baby The city won't care that I don't have an address because the station address will be my address. This will save the City butt loads on Medical checks when I come down with all sorts of illnesses from NEVER GETTING ANY SLEEP!!!!
You're a wizard Dr. Dean-0
Dean looks out for Dean in the same manner as Nolan looked out for Nolan. Whatever is best for them and the rest of the CPD can go to hell
Ok, here is what I have learned: On 16 March 2015, at 0915 I called the FOP and spoke with Recording Secretary Greg Bella. He told me as of this time the FOP HAS NOT, made a decision, if they are going to endorse either candidate yet! Here is what has happened both candidates have met with the Political Action Committee (PAC), the FOP is still collecting the Mayoral Candidate Poll which was sent out by e mail, and US mail in the March 2015 Newsletter, and are talking phone call also regarding your choice. The results will then be given to the Board of Directors, both candidates will then be given the chance to meet with the Board of Directors who will then determine if FOP is going to endorse either candidate. I was also told that the results of the poll will be given, not the actual number of votes, but how the membership voted.
Just Vote , who raised our health insurance , who did not actively support Quinn , who pushed obama care through when chief of staff , who did not grow up in chicago , who doubled water bills ,raised telephone tax , now the big question who will raise property taxes ? Both will raise property taxes , it is necessary .
Who do you trust the least Booby rush black panther in the 60's PR little Louie or a nobody baby daddy looking to get his picture ,name on the news rev Jackson , he has no power , the other two have power and want to keep it .pR Louie backed Chico had to kiss some major butt to get in with rahm , doesn't want to back an ordinary Jesus Garcia ,mayor of all the people not the 1% wealthy .
Calling Carlos Cortez a moron, is insulting to morons.
Chuy,won't hire an Ahmer Mohamed for Chicago city comptroller. That's for shure. Unlike Rahm did.
Out of town right now but will be back in time for election...
Who is recommended for 29th Ward?
Screw Rahm

Every dept member has email. Most retirees have email. Why wasn't this strictly conducted by email, with a four or five day window for responses? We can trust the FOP to guard our privacy, right? (maybe) Tally the responses as they come in and publish the results.
Naperville pd fop lodge has endorsed steve Chirico for mayor of Naperville
And some people wonder why there are those that are anti union. A majority of union's are inept and corrupt just like the politicians.
Talked to a couple CFD members regarding rahmbo. Said they are voting for him because of the last contract they received. Said it was a good contract with nothing taken away. Wait till he tries and cut their pensions! What shit!
FOP endorses aldermanic candidate who is aligned with cop haters? Anyone from FOP think about actually talking to some cops who live in a ward or work a district in the ward?
In terms of the day to day interaction the districts may have with Cappleman he's always supportive. The professional cop haters hate him. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. He seems like an ok guy for an alderman.
At least he doesn't go to the district and try to get bangers released ala Shiller and the chicago magazine story.
Just heard on wgn midday news, Rham is meeting with families who have been shot by police this afternoon at city Hall and joining in a rally which is going to be conducted shortly after the meeting. If that doesn't help seal the vote against this guy I don't know what will change your mind.
The FOP Newsletter is poorly written and very often arrives too late to be of any real use. I've suggested to numerous members of the FOP board that we transition to a digital format, which would greatly reduce costs and allow much more timely information. Then maybe they could put the copy through a spell-check, too...
Where are FOP,P BPA ?
Rahm is meeting with the family of persons SHOT by the Police . Really ? Why ? He has no lead , scraping the bottom of barrel for votes . This is the crap Bobbie rush , little Louie like anti police , Bobbie rush ore a hoodie to congress , supported the i can't breathe , hands up don't shoot . Did Jesus Garcia. Where a hoodie or did any of his supporters , I don't think he did .
How many husband/wife teams are being paid $200 a month to do committee work at the FLOP?
I read all the time on this blog about the $55 million squandered on fat ass daley park, the stadium for de paul and other financial catastrophes.
Has anyone been by Damen and Jackson lately? That big new building going up is Malcolm X College. Right across the street from.... Malcolm X College!
Rahm said, nearly 4 years ago, "I'm not going to be the one to tell these kids they can't get an education."
That sitting there is at least $250 million bucks that could have gone to pensions. $250 million bucks and there is already a Malcolm X College.
I hope they teach their students how to read at least.
$250 million!
And remember, the kids get a much better education at St Ignatius High School in a building opened in 1869 and still being used today.
$250 million! Malcolm X College, Hah!
1. The Board of Directors has not voted yet.
2. The Political Action Committee could not come up with a clear cut candidate they could trust.
3. Rahm did better the first go around. And even better the second time around.
4. Chuy did so bad the second time the only two people who wanted to endorse him were the two Hispanics on the PAC. One of the beat coppers on the PAC says while everyone wanted to endorse Chuy that no one can in good conscience after interviewing him twice.
Chuy has no idea how to fund the 550 million ARC payment, refuses to acknowledge property taxes have to go up, will not guarantee all TIFF that can be transferred go to the pensions, and is still against casinos.
Also remember that Chuy is beholding to the Teachers Union and SEIU. They both paid for buses to go protect in Ferguson and NYC against the police.
Rahm is a jerk but Chuy is a socialist.
NO ENDORSEMENT!!!
I was looking through Uptown Update for more stuff. Apparently FOP endorsed candidate Crawford has given two different answers on pensions. She told the IVI/IPO(liberal group) that pensions can't be touched.
She told the Sun Times and I paraphrase "touch em'". WTF
Pensions, copwatch, Shiller and FOP endorses her? This is either a monumental screw up or some seriously depraved corrupt shit. I vote for screw up. The seriously depraved corrupt shit is left for salaries and special assignments.
Really this is just fucking dumb.

The same moron that voted for Daley over and over again because he knew what he was getting. He was getting screwed and liked it. Complete dumb fuck.
So the third place finisher endorses one candidate over the other and people think this is such a travesty? All that happened was exactly this. So the conspiracy theorists that are out there, do your homework boys and girls there will be a test on Friday. Cappelman hasn't done a thing in the Ward the last four years and now he's scrambling. Ask the working police in 019 about the incumbent and not the chubby footman and the racist CAPS officer. Cappelman thinks the police are his personal servants and that all resources belong in Uptown. The commander is dealing out because of a murder last week and the potential bloodbath that will touch off because of this. Get rid of Cappelman and his cronies.
Off topic. Bravo to BT 1613, on 16mar15, 2nd watch, held a barking dog job for over an hour. Was it someone you knew? Lazy POS.
Whatever, do not let him make this 10 hour day permanent.
Can't wait to get out of 005.
Mostly, I'm ashamed I voted for Dean who is an obvious puppet for Rahm.
Don't Forget about the local Aldermanic races. We have a friend in Nick Sposato in 38. We need to support Anthony Napolitano CFD, prior CPD in 41 and Lt. Garrido in 45. All of them will vote in our interests. If Napolitano and Garrido win, Rahm will not be too happy, but it will give us strength against him.
Wall Street Journal; 250 Memphis Police & Firefighters have resigned since city of Memphis has stated they will reduce pension benfits
In reading all these comments - what kind of leaders do you have?
Oh, I forgot "CPD leadership" is an oxymoron and that must make "FOP leadership" an oxymoron as well.
AND ALL YOU STILL THINKING Rahm "is the choice "because at least you know what you are getting". DO YOU?
God, some of you are so dense.
You DON'T REWARD INCOMPETENCE by re-electing them. Vote them out on their first term - before they really gain power over you.
Don't reward incompetence and arrogance by re-electing it.
If you can't figure that out, then go with the campaign slogan that seems to be more blunt - and to the point:
Grow a Dick, Grow a Brain, and vote Rahm out.

Take it easy. Also let's get real. Real as in that part of 016 has gone to shit in the last ten years. It isn't like that part of 016 went to shit over night.
What is sad is that people who make a meager living don't have many decent and safe places to live in the city anymore. Not everyone can afford to live in Downtown, Lincoln Park or the Gold Coast. The northwest and southwest sides of Chicago are going to shit because police man power is non existent and the city just doesn't care. When the northwest and southwest sides of Chicago go then there goes the city of Chicago. Thank goodness I only have to live here two more years.

There are plenty of Aldermanic handjobs that used to be CPD.
This department is full of asswipes. Who says that they would make good aldermanic?
Why doesn't Garrido want to do his job as Lieutenant? It was okay for him when he took the promotion. Now he has his sights set on bigger things. Yeah. Sounds like he loves the department and would be our ally.
If I was the campaign manager of any of these Alderman running against Garrido or CPD members I would print bumper stickers that say, "Burke Was CPD"
Napolitano for sure in 41, former CPD, now CFD!!
3/16/2015 12:15:00 AM
So.... former CPD, now CFD now he wants to be Alderman. Sounds like a great choice.
Sounds like what's best for Napolitano. What's next? State Senate? Congressman?
He appears to be real stable in his career choices. In fact he sounds like a perfect Alderman.
Suck it.

You want your pensions...support Crawford.
You want you your asses kissed by Rahm's aldercritter support Cappleman.
Rahm was endorsed by Bobby Rush who by the way Denice Davis worked for.
This is all screwed up it is politics, a double-screw for being Chicago politics.
Your pensions and the pensions of other people who keep the city humming will take pension haircut under Rahm, if Rahm wins someone has to at least try to stand up to him on the city council.
Cappleman is a spineless kiss ass...never going to happen.
So the FOP endorsed Crawford.
(OT) McCarthy vs Cline run to remember cool video
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3JlaCA5qKSdaUw4ZzItWWZNV2s/view
Rahm and Chuy now debating as I type. Whipppee!
I like the Holy Roman Empire crack at Dean at 1:57. Historically though that was more of a Germanic grouping of states. Not really Holy, Roman or an empire.
Then again when FOP endorses a copwatch lover I wonder if FOP is Fraternal Orderly or involves real Police.
He's still better than Mikey Shield though. Is Mikey working 19. If so perhaps he can weigh in on Cappleman V Crawford/Copwatch
Rahm brags cps students will receive preference in every class of police and firefighters . He is saying fu to every parent that paid $10,000 for a private high school .
Send it back to him on April 7 .
Off Topic : Just watched the debate: Chuy seemed honest and forthcoming . Rham seemed to want to dazzle w/bullshit!
When Fop endorses someone that candidate uses it in flyers. Older voters look at who the police are supporting. That is the power of our endorsement. We should not get out of making endorsements, We should force our union to back candidates that are pro police.
Anybody but Rahm. This guy will be the next Daley (untouchable)if he is re-elected. They don't do the job get rid of them. Should be no different with the union.

Who won debate
Talking points rahm
Full day kindergarten , free this , free that , not enough minority workers , makes a comment that cps graduates get preference for police and fire department jobs .
That cost him votes . What about his cabinet , how many monorities ? He met with shooting victim parents , what about injured police officers and firefighter families ,
Choo Garcia is a man , future mayor , of all the people .
Rahm , open the books , you kicked the can down the road , now you have a CRISIS , that you want to strip benefits from unions . Pay up , end the free hand outs .
Vote Chewy and he says no more overtime in the debate. I guess this is a creative financing he's talking about.
I do...it's my job!
OT---CALEA accreditation? Who gives a shit about that?

1. FOP reps were asked to poll the members in their units. {Which when tallied at the rep. meeting was hands down for Chuy BTW]
2. Members could vote from Survey from FOP site.
3. Members could use the ballot provided in the news letter.[Which came out after the decision was made].
The membership's input was disregarded and the FOP board chose not to endorce anyone.
Sounds like the membership's voice does not matter.

This department will never achieve it. The process is way too strict for this place. I don't think "the chicago way" is going to be acceptable in their eyes. The suburban department I worked for had endless cash, a brand new station built to CALEA standards and it still took them three times to make the cut...
OT: AND THIS IS HOW REAL POLICE RESPOND:

As for the Uptown business easy out withdraw endorsement because of candidate's use quotes or because of ties to cop haters.
Also release voting numbers on preference in election. Otherwise end endorsements. How hard is it to count ballots?
FOP does it every internal election.
This gets even weirder. Michael Carroll ran in that ward in 2011 against Cappleman and a bunch of others and lost. What does he have to say?
CALEA ?
Really for the asshat that posted that we wish our department could even compete in CALEA.
We would be shut down
Crawford's campaign is paying $500 a week for Aquilla Ali to work for her. 019, 020 and 024 coppers know her as the mother of GD's the Ali twins, now down to one twin after one of the mutts choked on drugs he was peddling during an arrest. Also the sainted grandmother of Brian and Elijah Terry picked up in a drug operation at Lawrence and Sheridan. Good endorsement by the FOP.
Vote for a true friend of the Police in the 41st Ward, Anthony Napolitano. Currently CFD, former CPD, 15 Tact. Son of Tony, brother of Andy, both CPD and nephew of Tommy CPD, 14. He will fight to protect pensions, insurance and be a full time Alderman for a change. This is a golden opportunity to elect people in our corner. We have Nick Sposato CFD in 38 and if John Garrido is elected in 45, public safety workers will control the NW side!! Go Naps!!!

Vote Chewy and he says no more overtime in the debate. I guess this is a creative financing he's talking about.

NO, HE DIDN'T. He remarked on the incredible amount of overtime and stated that money could be used to hire additional police officers.
You make it sound like he slammed his hand down and decreed "no more overtime".
But, of course, that was your intention, now wasn't it.
Anybody who wants to see what really was said can go to channel five's website and watch it yourself, instead of believing anyone's diluted version of the facts.
The mayor's top donors are doubling down because they are afraid that their investments are suddenly at risk. Close to 60% of Emanuel's big-time donors are doing business with the city.

Pay to play was bad when it was Blagojevich. Why is it good when it is Rahm?
"Has anyone been by Damen and Jackson lately? That big new building going up is Malcolm X College. Right across the street from.... Malcolm X College!
Rahm said, nearly 4 years ago, "I'm not going to be the one to tell these kids they can't get an education."
That sitting there is at least $250 million bucks that could have gone to pensions. $250 million bucks and there is already a Malcolm X College."
The current Malcolm X College (formerly Herzl College when the neighborhood was Jewish) opened its doors in 1974 and the officials promised that its graduates were going to become doctors and nurses in the Illinois Medical Center District across the expressway. Trouble is that the nursing students from Malcolm X struggle to pass the state certification exam after graduating.
How is it that a public building is obsolete after forty-one years?
The majority of City College credit classes are taught by poorly paid, part-time instructors who have not had a contract in three years. A new contract has not been a priority for the mayor.
The non-educator who is serving as the City College Chancellor has a vacation home in the suburbs while claiming to be an apartment dwelling Chicagoan for employment purposes.
Amy Crawford='s Helen Schiller. Both are cop haters Don't trust Dean Angelo. Sell out for sure!

WAY-TO-GO PHILLI!!
Read the story, it was just a stupid parker, not a protester.
BUT, watch out. If someone wanted to kill a lot of cops why not a car bomb at a funeral. Good place to let the bomb sniffing dogs have a run. That and the St. Jude March.
If Napolitano and Garrido win, Rahm will not be too happy, but it will give us strength against him.
3/16/2015 03:13:00 PM
Don't be too sure about the second one.
So.... former CPD, now CFD now he wants to be Alderman. Sounds like a great choice.
Sounds like what's best for Napolitano. What's next? State Senate? Congressman?
He appears to be real stable in his career choices. In fact he sounds like a perfect Alderman.
Suck it.
3/16/2015 05:50:00 PM
He should just stay a blue shirt cop his whole life and never try to improve himself or his lot in life, just like you. Moron.

Nothing he is hiding in 35th street waiting to be made meritorious sgt. by staying out of it.
Finally - someone says something that makes sense:
Chuy has no idea how to fund the 550 million ARC payment, refuses to acknowledge property taxes have to go up, will not guarantee all TIFF that can be transferred go to the pensions, and is still against casinos.
Also remember that Chuy is beholding to the Teachers Union and SEIU. They both paid for buses to go protect in Ferguson and NYC against the police.
I'm voting for Rahm.

From all this baseless anti-Garrido stuff on the blog, it's OBVIOUS his opponent is genuinely worried. And he should be.
7;34 am No one is beholding to anyone. Beholden. BEHOLDEN. Your verbiage is as bad as your judgment.
Rahm has no idea how to fund the 550 million ARC payment, either! He is actively working to have the law changed, to intentionally deprive our pension of the money it needs to generate investment income.
You complain because Garcia is associated with CTU? Rahm invites a meeting with the families of criminals who were shot by the police.
Rahm gives a MILLION DOLLAR grant to Ceasefire.
Rahm sends his new police superintendent directly from the arrival gate at the airport to Pf-flyer's church, to whine about the Pilgrims being racist.
Rahm is panderer-in-chief but you've got your head in the sand and won't see it.
He should just stay a blue shirt cop his whole life and never try to improve himself or his lot in life, just like you. Moron.
I'm not a blue shirt. Or a moron.
What's so attractive about someone that just wants to move on to the next phase in his political career? It doesn't seem like his decisions would need to be long lasting in scope. Why would he care about the long term picture when he's going to scratch another political itch when it comes along.
You're obviously a friend or relative. I see no need to vote for someone that is unlikely to have my best interests at heart.
Moron.
Hey SCC, any insight on a battery victim by the name of Dean Angelo treated at Rush Hospital on March 13, 2005?
Those surveys are likely in the same black hole as the JFled morale survey
OT: In the burbs the saying was "kill a tree for CALEA" & the only reason the village trustees/mayor agreed was the ruse that the town's insurance would be cheaper That never happened & is why most burbs dropped the CALEA NIGHTMARE!!

Love the blog but don't believe this blog influences too many voters.
Oh man leave Dean alone.
Someone should do one of these for him.

Why don't you do a FOIA?
The problem with the FOP is every President has something to gain by being elected. Don't you think its time to find someone who doesn't have a kid, cousin, mother, father, brother, sister, wife, husband, lover or pet who will benefit???? RETHINK YOUR NEXT FOP PRESIDENT!!!
Stop ALL endorsements!
We have a shot a taking Rahm out office. Let's do it now cuz this might B the best shot we have in the foreseeable future. Please, Coppers, register so we can capitalize on this election.
Just do it

The 46th ward is in Uptown and is full of some of the most liberal voters in the city, including huge blocks of yuppies and gays and lesbians. A hetero, male police officer running in this area doesn't stand a chance and Carroll finished a distant 3rd in the Alderman's race 4 yrs ago. I think he's retired from the political life.

He's retired from public life? Seems to be active with the FOP-- Publicly. He can still speak can't he? Running or not everyone in a position to should speak out against this.

1. FOP reps were asked to poll the members in their units. Which when tallied at the rep. meeting was hands down for Chuy.
That was less than 80 people total. Less than 1% response
2. Members could vote from Survey from FOP site.
That survey is being thrown out. Jim Buckney, a former trustee and member of the City-Wide Team, called the lodge after having a conscience attack, and stated that he voted multiple times for Chuy. Yes you could vote more than one time using your email address if you did it from different ip addresses. Thanks officer Buckney for being honest.
3. Members could use the ballot provided in the news letter.[Which came out after the decision was made].
NO decision had been made yet. Should the people who interviewed these people twice vote based on that. Angelo stated he will post their responses side by side on the web site. Why do people make all this shit up?
The membership's input was disregarded and the FOP board chose not to endorce anyone.
Sounds like the membership's voice does not matter.
PS: A Hispanic copper and Chuy supporter asked for a show of hand at Tuesday’s meeting. And NO ENDORSEMENT WON by about 20%.

Brock Merck???
Every time he asks a question from the microphone he asks that they turn off the recorder. Why?
I wonder if he lines all of his hat with tin foil. And this goof wants to run FOP? What an idiot.
