FOP Sits This One Out
- The Fraternal Order of Police on Friday said they decide not to endorse either political candidate in the race for mayor of Chicago.
Both Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Jesus “Chuy” Garcia met with leaders of the FOP in person Thursday afternoon.
Four years ago, the FOP endorsed Gery Chico for mayor.
The move comes on the same day both candidates revealed their plans to fix some of the city’s financial woes.
Dean can't afford to surrender any of his dwindling support at the Lodge.

Trib poll says Rahmmy is up 10 points. I think Rahm may be nervous, but not too nervous.
I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
I really don't care about endorsements, but that's because I'm informed enough and confident enough to make choices for myself.
How in the f&#k does the FlOP sit this one out? I'm sure there was an overwhelming thumbs up for Chuy over Rahm. Why don't they at least post the results of their bullshit poll. This is why we get stuck with kind of representation we have. Grow a pair FlOP and fight for us the Officers.
OT: The Obamas are reportedly moving to New York after Barack's presidency.

The above stories are from JUNE of last year, but even the Chicago Sun Times ran a story today.
Good. Now would he please take his library with him, rather than take city parks to build the monument to himself?
If U of C/UIC are so hot to have the library here, why don't they give up some of their property?

Amazing! 90% of Of the entire police department is voting for Chuy. Rahm is a very scary guy.
The FOP should get out of the endorsement process all together, unless it involves a person who is involved in public safety! All the FOP does by endorsing is create enemies, if they win and are not endorsed. Staying silent is the way to go.
What happened to the survey? It looks like Dean is still taking care of Rahm by not letting the FOP endorse anyone.
President Obama and his broad shouldered beard will take their act to New York after his term is up. Chicago is not sophisticated enough for them.
That's fine by me. Take your former Chief of Staff and your library with you please.
Who's the new commander of 7?
Here's where your pension went. It only took a small publication to out it...
“Thirty percent of Chicago is a TIF district,” Tresser explained. “No other city has this much of a TIF district. They [TIFs] took $422 million in property taxes in 2013. That’s about half a billion dollars that’s gone missing from the general revenue fund” in total."
"‘City broke? Be skeptical.’
“So when the City says it’s broke, be skeptical,” said Tresser. “If we were to end the TIF program tomorrow and pushed the money back to where it came from, the good people of this ward would have $134 million in the bank"

Meez think that to little-big-man, no endorsement is the same as endorsing the other guy.
Rahm has shit on us for four years and we are sitting this one out. Vote out this guy out and give it to new guy. If he doesn't do the job vote Chuy out next. Do not give this guy more power.
Get out and VOTE!.
If you do not vote, you have no right to bitch about the next 4 years.
Poor Dr Dean.
College does not give a person common sense.
If he was anti Rahm and actually acted like the head of a union he would have 2 terms making over 120k plus disability pay.
But promoting his son was not enough for DR dean. Rahm could not offer any big ticket pay out.
So every police officer is supposed to actually think dean has put thought into this.
NO video of the interviews?
No posting of the answers given by Chuy or Rahm?
No numbers of votes given by paper ballots?
Must be too much work...
The Board has done a half ass job.
DWINDLING? I didn't even know he had that much!
Well......welll...Deano.....we thought the reason for the phone poll was to see what direction this bargaining unit (union) was supposed to lean for the purpose of an endorsement? What happened? You can't show enough support for "he who makith da merit promotion for sergeants " because the poll of the lodge went over 68% to the Chew man and you promised Rhamina the balarina to throw him support or none at all. We wish you could see yourself from our seats....you wouldn't be impressed. Some leader you didn't turn out to be. Just when we needed your campaign tales most you have adain and again and again shown us your are not concerned for our best interest........too bad you have blown a great opportunity to have made a great difference in all of our lives for the better.

FOP does something smart and doesn't endorse anyone. Nobody pays attention to who endorses who. Great example is Sgt union endorsement. Their candidate got 7 percent of the vote. Endorsement was useless except for fact that promotional test date is now in court. Good job fop for staying out of it. I don't need you to tell me how to vote as I'm going to vote my way anyway.
What a good, Rham doesn't do $@!t for us. He is balancing the city's budget on the backs of Police Officers backs. And playing with everyone's safety!
I'm Voting for Mr Garcia. The next union election I'm Voting for anyone but the current administration.
I expect nothing less from the Sackless-in-Chief Angelo....
If neither candidate will not go on the record and guarantee they fully fund the pension they neither of them deserve our endorsement.
Chuy will not back a casino, property tax increase, nor will he promise to give the pension plans all of the excess money sitting in the TIFF funds.
Rahm lied in the last campaign when he said he would hire 1000 extra policemen. We are at a 40 year lower in manpower that I know of.
As far as I am concerned FOP should sit this one out. As of this morning it shows Ram with a double digit lead and growing. Endorse Chuy to make a statement and piss off the guy who is going to win?
Let's be smart for once.
NO ENDORSEMENT.
To everyone thinking these magical TIF funds will square everything, What happens when (if) the books are opened and, SURPRISE, there are no, or ridiculously few, TIF funds left? What makes you think these thieves haven't gotten their hands on all that money, too. If it was ever there in the first place. Anyway you slice it, we are truly screwed.
Waaaiiit a muthafuckin' minute now...
Doesn't Rahm send messages from a position of strength?
A full on admission via the media propaganda apparatus that Rahm deigned to openly meet with FOP during this run-off election season?
But wait!
A "poll" shows Rahm with a commanding lead!
Why would he have to even bother putting on this
production of meeting with the FOP executives whom he already has firmly in pocket and with marching orders already given?
...Unless this IS a tacit admission that Rahm IS in deep, dark, piquant shit of his own making?
You can bet a fat man on Friday that Rahm is up at night and actually wondering if all out war (guerrilla tactics and agit-prop) against the men and women of CPD was a sound policy decision?
We get that he tried his best to turn the upright citizenry against CPD to make the citizenry ok with a Police lay-off/reduction in force via attrition/very slow hiring and eliminating paid for P.O. positions from the budget and using that money for other things that tickle his fancy more than a fully staffed, fully equipped, robust, bad-guy hunting/bad-guy destroying police department.
You know it's gotta bug the muthalovin' shit out of Rahm and his henchmen to actively seek the endorsement of the very people/organization he wants to destroy.
Note that his henchmen who have been crawling all over the blog and leaving their telltale pointy black rodent droppings everywhere, seem to have abandoned insulting rhetoric and have switched appeals in regard to "The Other Guy" being seen as an alternative to four more punishing, pocket picking years of The North Shore Shit-Ass.
The Tribune showed that Emanuel has opened up a 11 percent lead over Garcia. All of those commercials Emanuel is running non stop is taking effect. Rahm Emanuel will win the election and it won't be even close. Rahm is tough as nails (he served in the Israeli Defense Forces) and he won't take no for an answer. We need a proven leader not a novice. I'm voting for Rahm.
Big changes coming after election,you heard it here first.
I say we go 4 it w chew daddy.
Has anyone seen the list of police haters that have endorsed Chuy? Rahm is now my guy. Chuy says he's going to look at the departments with the biggest budgets for more efficiency and cuts. hmmmm. maybe police? Who just by coincidence has the biggest budget next to Teachers.
Maybe smart wonder if rahm promised him anything? Chug is broke he's like most of us working guy, not a rich ballerina! But like you said SCC probably the best move!
He turned out to be a sell out. Where in the Damn contract does it say that furloughs will be selected by a fourth and fifth watch ? I sure as hell would like to know. Why do we continue with this corrupt and dysfunctional F.O.P. ? Every time an election comes around we find ourselves having to decide between Dr. Jeckle (Dougherty) and Mr. Hyde (Angelo). Oh, and that executive board is like the "Politbureau" of the old Soviet Union. Let's move on, DECERTIFY !
The Fop is useless
Why did the FOP sent out an e mail asking who the members wanted to endorse? They also said they were going to sent out the survey via U.S. and Police mail, what happened to the results? Didn't the vote go the way they wanted? What were the results, I know I voted how many others voted? Why ask if you don't intend to tell anyone what the results are? I am going to call the FOP office Monday morning and ask these same questions. I will inform you what they said!
Maybe the results of the poll to the members was equally split? Or the majority answered "do not endorse anyone"
FOP conducted an online poll for who to choose for Mayor, so regardless FOP isn't going to endorse either or show the results...then why conduct a poll?
Anyone but Rahm still applies.
GO CHUY - DUMP RAHM APRIL 7.
Flops most corrupt president ever...
Alderman O'Shea of the 19th ward is proudly displaying his support for Rahm with a Rahm for Chicago sign on his front lawn.
Deano has very little balls.
From one who knows.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
To all FLOP members read the FOP News July 2006 page 3 Greg Bella; Our Pensions. It is in the archives on the FOP web site.
The FOP sent out a survey last week.
Why not announce the results from the members polled?
OT:
When the hell is the FOP going to fix the smartphone app? If the union was a real corporation they'd have been out of business years ago.
----
They probably aren't. Dean the king does't like that the shields team did something good and is refusing to pay a license fee on the app. I was at a board meeting and saw the guy who created the field guide talking to the board. They were some extremely rude jagoffs who basically told the guy he copied the FOP book and sold it to them.
Problem is the old timers that are long retired have no f-ing clue what we do on the street now. Little do they know how useful that shit is.
OLD RETIRED GUY HERE,AGAIN !!!!!!
The sworn members of the CPD have always been fast to be critical of the FOP. That was just as true in my day, as is today. Just want to say this. Do you know that in the last FOP election, less than half of the membership voted ? You are the FOP ! If you don't agree with the way it is being run, get down to the meetings, and tell them so.
PS: Be Careful Out There.
Why did they even bother asking the membership for their vote, if they are not going to agree to the results?
hey ssc who ever the new mayor is please get rid of the southside st paddy day parade , nothing more than a drunken festival , inbreeds in action im a veteran of bud billiken the pr fest, gay pride , mexican ind, st paddy by far the worst follwed by gay pride, for all you attending use the bathrooms not the lawns,
Why does the CPD keep on putting Bosses in charge of Units/Areas they have no experience in at all. Riccio may be a great boss, but he does not have any idea how things work in OCD. This makes as much sense as swapping out the CFD Bosses for the CPD Bosses and tell them they are in charge of something they have no experience or knowledge in. Don't you think someone with the most experience that can lead by example and have the knowledge because he or she have been there and done that would be a better leader that is respected by all? I guess they just read the general orders and that tells them what to do. You don't just give someone a title and expect them to be a leader. Now wonder why everyone is leaving?
Change of Subject: How can this be?? The Obama family plans to move to NYC after his presidential term is finished. He is abandoning Chicago as his home, for NYC. The family feels that NYC is a fun and happening place, while Chicago is to small and dull. How - Where have we failed them??? This is terrible news.
The Sun Times clearly shows their Rahm bias with the headline of Chuy's fuzzy math.
Rahm is loaded with fuzzy math. All of Rahm's pension solutions revolve around "reform" aka slashing and gashing of our pensions. None of his solutions ever mention that Rahm refuses to pay the city's pension obligation simply because he doesn't like our long standing pension system and would rather have "reform".
Rahm's campaign states that they need relief from Springfield re: the 550 Million dollar payment due to shore up police and fire pensions.
That 550 Million dollar payment was ordered by Springfield over 5 years ago to hold the city's feet to the fire regarding them failing to make their pension obligations.
So Rahm and his yes men knew about the mandated $550 Million dollar contribution due this year since he first took office..... yet now Rahm's whining that without "relief" from Springfield this payment will wreak havoc on the city's finances.
So let me get this straight Rahm.... you knew all about this upcoming balloon payment, you continued to refuse to make the city's current pension obligations and now you're saying you need "relief" from Springfield to ease the burden on the tax payers??
You want to talk about fuzzy math ? That's some scandalous lack of financial planning right there Rahm!
Anybody but Rahm. That slimy prick won't rest until our pensions are completely destroyed.
Dean Angelo doesn't want to get yelled at by Da Mayor and Dean Agelo wants to return to Da Mayor's office for another chit chat meeting-marching orders from the ballerina Mayor Rahm!
Bastards at their glory!!!!

That's the usual DemoCommunist ploy. Tell the sheeple that you already won and those who would vote for your opponent will stay home. Then it's all the votes they can steal.
It worked for BHO in all his elections.
That was a good move. Not a fan of either guy.
I'd stick with Rahm. Chuy is promising the world but how will he pay for it? Maybe a $500 to $1000 property tax for each place?
Good, they should keep their big noses out of all political activity regarding the taking of sides, and just provide the membership the information regarding what political candidates have publicly stated regarding CPD - related issues only.
FOP doesn't Speak for Me.
For those of you that didn't vote in the FOP election understand this…..the retirees put Dean into office. Why are retirees allowed to vote for who represents active officers???? There are more retirees in elected positions at FOP than active officers why is that???? The retirees vote and the whiney active officers don't so you have the leadership you asked for just like these asshole citizens that wanted the touchy feely police. So in 3 years vote the useless Dean out of office with the shit contract he gave you. You ask the officers who they want to endorse but then say we aren't endorsing anyone…..so why the poll

Retiree and wife voting for Chuy. I don't care, Rahm sucks. My family is free to vote how they like but if they want to be in the will they better not vote for Rahm.
What happened to ballerinas hair ?
Chewy has him on the ropes , will chewy deliver the knock out at debates .
Chewy ask him why city has technology to ensure police officers work a full tour and only the lowly beat officer is tied down to the radio and rules .
wait a minute, many of us were polled from fop, what were those results dean? we don't have to endorse as a union but out of curiosity what were the results? You put it out and now not talking? was it overwhelming in favor of Chuy and your scared because rahm promised you and or your family big jobs? Come on dean "Sunshine" remember!
If you want the 10 hour days you better vote for Rham. He can make it happen.
Like they say, vote for chuy, and if he sucks after his first term, vote his ass out too. Send a message chicago. We will not tolerate this corruption nor have another Daley.
Show illinois politics is changing. We have Rauner in office now too. Can he do any worse than what we've been putting up with all these years with these crooked mfers?
Who cares who flop endorses or doesn't. Didn't they endorse Lisa Madigan? Most of the elected members are only out for themselves. They could care less about the coppers on the street. Flop is a social club at best.
Chuy I am afraid is not the answer. Couldn't address the pension crisis with a sound solution....hell sounded like he doesn't even have any solution. How in the hell do we get stuck with 2 incompetent candidates?
Problem is the old timers that are long retired have no f-ing clue what we do on the street now.
I got a clue of what you do.Try breaking a few bones,lose 1 or 2 guys that you sat in a squad car with,pop a few, and dodge a few caps,go in to federal court with your ass on the line for trying to do the "right thing"....and on and on......Talk to me after 29 & a day Officer.

This is absolutely hilarious. Thanks for my daily load of bullshit today. I have the day off and was wondering what how long I could make it through the day without someone saying or doing something completely stupid....
I don't need the FOP to tell me how to vote.
rahm aged 20 years in less than 4 years , it looks like chewy choo choo Garcia will win by a close decision , a win is a win 1 vote or 100,000 .
southside wards are pulling it together for the St. Rita Grad
time for a neighborhood kid like old man daley to take control of Chicago
Will you feel safer with 1,000 coppers added to the streets , tax increase is coming with or without the new coppers
Dean told me in a phone conversation he is worried about his son so this is the reason he's treading lightly. Something to gain for his kid like the last regime committee members. Sons came on the job and rose quickly in the rank and files because souls were sold. Now some of those kids are on duty disability like their fathers. Vicious cycle

Hair Gel contact cards are not police work. If you are not making physical arrests every night you are not the police. All of you guys who can on after about the middle of 1987 have no idea about what it was like w/o a union. And after 87 we turned into just another sissy police agency.

What's to figure out?? I think he'll be able to understand how OCD "works." You're not as high speed as you think you are.
In the last FOP election, there were over 10,000 votes counted, out of a total membership of approximately 17,000. I would call that we'll over 50%, that voted.
Rhamas DONE
Bye Bye DeaNo
To 7:34 am.Rahm did not serve in the IDF.He was a little jagoff at New Trier H.S..Who once got his nose busted for being an asshole. Old retired northshore cop.
Police officers like Rahm as much as they like Bobby Rush and Luis Gutierrez, the two politicians he shared the stage with the night he was forced into the runoff
Rahm was not a member of the IDF. To my knowledge he was some sort of behind the front lines volunteer aid worker. Sort of like being a member of the ladies auxiliary I recall. Sort of a rear echelon type gig.
"Rahm is tough as nails"
Rahm Emanuel is a manlet who fixed cars in the IDF and then moved from six-figure sinecure to six-figure sinecure because of his familial connections. Today he pirouettes around City Hall browbeating callow millennials into undertaking legislative initiatives that accomplish nothing beyond garnering publicity for his regime and losing money. He is an archetypal representative of the cosmopolitan parasitic class that is currently destroying the nation.
Replacing native Chicago political dysfunction with national political dysfunction isn't a solution. Vote Chuy.
ssc lets face dean is prick he is only concerned about himself and getting dean jr promoted the deal between him n rahm has been made,dean along with a lot of merit useless go nothings with clout better pray that rahm gets in.
Based upon what I was told by a member of the FOP Board,Jesus Garcia was the overwhelming choice in the polling. Garcia had over 90% of polling vote..Dean Angelo shit himself when the numbers came back. No endorsement for Garcia because he doesn't want to piss off the Psychopathic Dwarf...
Our pension is on the block no matter who is the next mayor. The fact is we are billions short and they are going to do something about it. Which means we are going to take some kind of hit.
Stay out out of it and deal with whatever we have to when the time comes. We are the police and should stay out of politics. endorsing someone doesn't gauratee us anything if that person wins. CAnd that person will stick it to us just like any politician.
Disability Dean has to go. We all know that Dean is trying to get a job with the City Colleges thru Rahm Emanuel! Wake up people, Dean is a punk bitch sell out!
LMAO
Our Dues Hard at Work?????
**Cant back a candidate
WoW Are Dean and Jr afraid
Why do we have FLOP???
I'm Voting for Mr Garcia. The next union election I'm Voting for anyone but the current administration.
Dean didn't like Who Coppers wanted WHy the roll call vote?
So HE and Junior don't want to back any one?
Chuy Get my Vote Doctor DeaNo
Poor Dr Dean.
College does not give a person common sense.
His College is a SCAM Just Like FLOP
Keep Paying Your DUES asshat working Po Po
I just got my water bill 570.12$....no way anyone should vote for ASSHOLE Rham !!!!!!!
President Bella , Tommy , Dean , and Ray will not endorse anyone! At least not publically . Why ? Very simple . They don't want it to come back at them
In two years . It's about them and not us . We work for them not the other way around !
The FOP board members met with RAHM on the first Tuesday of March. RAHM's camp was given the heads up by 1st VP aka SUAREZ'S flunky by orders' of DEAN.
The reason for this was to insure RAHM an endorsement or staying neutral in the race.
GARCIA did not attend that meeting cause he doesn't have a snitch on the board to give him the heads up.
GARCIA's camp was told that GARCIA would have to meet with the FOP'S Political Action Committee on the following Thursday. Because that was FOP'S protocol. But as you know now, RAHM didn't have to.
GARCIA was told that he couldn't meet with the Board because it was too late when he inquired for a meeting, which only meets on the first Tuesday of the month. Guess what's on the 1st Tuesday of April, you got it the election.
What FOP member's don't know is that it doesn't matter who you or the PAC want to endorse because the ultimate decision belongs to the board.
It's that inner circle that has completed control and sole control of it's union members.
Boys and girls this is a wake up call please read your FOP bible.
For those of you interested DEAN wants the Community College gig.
You just have to connect the dots my friends. Nothing hard here to figure out.
Another Old Retired Guy.
I knew Dean in the early 90s. Later found out that he was on Disability and was for years. After I retired I found out he was running for the FOP spot. I could not believe he won. A disability retired PO is running the union? Makes as much sense as worrying about the 5k retro check instead of the million dollar pension.
Careful out there
The Tribune showed that Emanuel has opened up a 11 percent lead over Garcia. All of those commercials Emanuel is running non stop is taking effect. Rahm Emanuel will win the election and it won't be even close. Rahm is tough as nails (he served in the Israeli Defense Forces) and he won't take no for an answer.

Why didn't you sign it "Rahm's paid campaign worker"? You couldn't be more obvious.
That pole was as scientific as my kids cup and string phone. 72 people polled? Who answers these questions on the phone anyway?

What's scarier: a career politician who runs the game? Or a person you've never heard of who has letvthe game run him?
Chuy has debt. This is debt to people who helped him gain power. These people will control him. They will be the true mayors. If you give me a choice, I'll take the prick.
Why does the CPD keep on putting Bosses in charge of Units/Areas they have no experience in at all. Riccio may be a great boss, but he does not have any idea how things work in OCD..............And we all know that officers get to OCD by their outstanding police work. No clout, no phone call. Right.
I have a bone to pick with FOP.
The FOP has decided to support a candidate for Mayor of Chicago.
Then why in todays mail do I find my FOP news letter. Inside on page 3 you find a survey asking the members to pick a candidate and return it to FOP.
Why did it take till 14 March 2015 for FOP to send out news letter?
Why did FOP wait for the news letter to poll the rank and file for thier opinion?
Why did FOP decide not to choose a candidate after wasting the time and money on the news letter poll?
seems like they wanted to ask us who FOP should support but decided to choose without our input.
Sad it seems to be just like the past management at FOP
A little OT:
Can someone from the city explain to me why I got my reminder for my city sticker renewal sent from "The City of Chicago,City Clerks Office"
with a PO Box in Bedford Park?
WTF?
Donahu and Doberty. Stay off the blog. No matter which way Dean went you would be critical.
Why is everyone leaving OCD?
The FOP are a bunch of Morons , The Ballerina has to go . Chuys got it
At the last debate between Rahm and Chuy they will arm wrestle each other for bragging rights. The event will be refereed by the Legendary 1020/1070.
Love
Col Hanibal Smith.
Rahm's minions are posting propaganda on this blog and implying that he will inevitably win. Psychologists know that the inevitability tactic works because people want to vote for the guy that they think will win. Don't believe their propaganda. Vote. We don't want 4 more years of this girly-man thief trying to bankrupt our pensions. Get off your asses and vote.
Wow now even television shows involved in police bashing! Watching the showtime series shameless and get young kid Carl in their gets chased by Cpd gets caught cause of dope puts his hands up yells out "don't shoot I'm white" more anti police bias! Really get sick of it done with showtime!
Got Prom Dress
Is Rahm's disputed Chicago residence, a no tax zone? Emanuel is trying to bust Chuy for receiving an undeserved property tax exemption on a property that he inherited from his parents. Makes you wonder about the stories that Emanuel and Amy Rule received a tax break because they claimed that a charitable foundation had its office at their Ravenswood address.
Is this a rumor or is it accurate? Where is the media?

Surprise! Rahm is promising the world, and the universe, too!
Garcia can curb some of this wild, irresponsible spending on 'no-tax, no fee' zones and bike lanes and bike parks and bike bridges, and stadiums for sports teams from privately funded colleges, and 'road diets' and hotel giveaways to the connected Pritzkers.
Riccio is good for OCD stop your whining or get out. Or is Riccio gonna make sure your there to do work, or make sure you dont leave early for your recreational activities while your still suppose to be at work. Whats the fuzz you can't handle your job! Go back to patrol then and stop acting like Misfits!!!

"Rahm is tough as nails"
Rahm Emanuel is a manlet who fixed cars in the IDF and then moved from six-figure sinecure to six-figure sinecure because of his familial connections. Today he pirouettes around City Hall browbeating callow millennials into undertaking legislative initiatives that accomplish nothing beyond garnering publicity for his regime and losing money. He is an archetypal representative of the cosmopolitan parasitic class that is currently destroying the nation.
Replacing native Chicago political dysfunction with national political dysfunction isn't a solution. Vote Chuy.

WHOOOO!
>Long, low whistle of approval and a connoisseur's slow clap of appreciation<
A thing of dreadful beauty...
So what R my choices in this election? Some dude named "Chuy" or some1 who looks like Admiral Akbar?
The lesser of 2 evils as always
In Summary, "seven truths about Dean team": 1. No fop app from dean because it was created under Shields team. 2. No endorsement is an endorsemnt for Rahm because Dean wants to be appointed Head of City Colleges. 3. Dean ways says, "it's about my son". Well, how about the members? 4. Rob Mangan put it best- read above post. 5. The elected fop guys are handcuffed and silenced and threatened to be kicked out of the union if they open their mouth.- three board members were already brought up on charges. 6. Casianos is to Dean like McCarthy is to Rahm- a complete failure. 7. McDonagh talks down to guys who need the union more than ever.

Yep.OK.I'll pay an extra $500-$1000 to ensure that I have a pension.rahm out right told you,me, and every one else that we have to "bleed", and that he was going to "stick it into our ears".
Stick with rahm, and stick it in your ass while you are at it.Vote Jesus out the next time if it don't work.We damn near have the carpet bagger out now.Think of your future, not the retro and the extra $500 now.
A little OT:
Can someone from the city explain to me why I got my reminder for my city sticker renewal sent from "The City of Chicago,City Clerks Office"
with a PO Box in Bedford Park?
WTF?
I did too. I couldn't believe it either.
Got Prom Dress
Is Rahm's disputed Chicago residence, a no tax zone? Emanuel is trying to bust Chuy for receiving an undeserved property tax exemption on a property that he inherited from his parents. Makes you wonder about the stories that Emanuel and Amy Rule received a tax break because they claimed that a charitable foundation had its office at their Ravenswood address.
Is this a rumor or is it accurate? Where is the media?
3/14/2015 10:51:00 PM
Coincidentally, I spent an hour on the computer tonight trying to find the basis for this story. Sorry to say, it's still a mystery to me. The stories started circulating in 2009.
Supposedly, Rahm and Amy tried to get a tax break for their home address for their charitable organization. Some say they got it, some say they didn't.
Because of a mix-up in reading property index numbers, which really seem to disorient non-Chicago reporters, various news reporters state the Emanuels DID 'disappear' from the tax rolls, or they did pay their $13,000 taxes (but only on one lot that was consolidated from three lots), or there's nothing to the story.
I'll keep digging, but tonight I admit I got sidetracked by a very interesting story on Chuy in the Reader, which made me feel good I voted for him.
I just got my water bill 570.12$....no way anyone should vote for ASSHOLE Rham !!!!!!!
3/14/2015 06:56:00 PM
Get a meter. Unless you have a multi-unit building, or you use a ton of water, your bill will be significantly less. You pay for what you use, and not what they "estimate".

Chuy I am afraid is not the answer. Couldn't address the pension crisis with a sound solution....hell sounded like he doesn't even have any solution. How in the hell do we get stuck with 2 incompetent candidates?
3/14/2015 01:10:00 PM
Rahm has stated he intends to eliminate the cola and diminish the pensions. He is moving heaven and earth to NOT pay the 550 million required by law into our fund.
Chuy has said he isn't going to diminish pensions and will actually hire 1000 police, not say he will and not do it (yes, he said that!).
As always, when you add something to the household budget, you reduce something else. Chuy will probably reduce something ridiculously expensive and foolish, so we can have cops and pensions and a little less clout and a little more sanity in this city.

Rahm shuttled car repair parts for them, so yes, he was there, but no, he wasn't a fighter. It's documented in dozens of places.
It just seems odd to go into service for another country, but not for your own.
Rahm is worried or his minions wouldn't be spending so much time on this blog.

Bingo.
Forget the pension, I'm voting for whoever keeps VRI !!!

Why does the CPD keep on putting Bosses in charge of Units/Areas they have no experience in at all. Riccio may be a great boss, but he does not have any idea how things work in OCD. This makes as much sense as swapping out the CFD Bosses for the CPD Bosses and tell them they are in charge of something they have no experience or knowledge in. Don't you think someone with the most experience that can lead by example and have the knowledge because he or she have been there and done that would be a better leader that is respected by all? I guess they just read the general orders and that tells them what to do. You don't just give someone a title and expect them to be a leader. Now wonder why everyone is leaving?
3/14/2015 10:37:00 AM
Tony Riccio is one of the sharpest bosses I ever saw in my 32 years on the job. Intelligent, hard working and supports the troops. It will take him about 10 minutes to figure out "how things work" in OCD and then another 30 seconds to figure out your act. Better go buy some new uniforms, moron ...
Garcia said that he would not take away anything from people already on pensions.
Rahm is blaming property tax increases for pensions on the state legislature. He said that he is for a casino to pay for pensions if the state allows it?
What about rahm's plan to put everyone in obama care?
They all promise anything to get elected!

Correct chuy will have so many easy places to recover our money and put it into the pensions, the money rahm keeps misappropriated to things that the majority see as huge waste! So much to recover, like when the new president gets elected he will have plenty to reverse to get this country back on the right track!
Riccio, is a clout baby who is related to the Banks family. His father was an inspector, he's never had a bad day. Nice guy, but a Chief ? Really?

The Tribune showed that Emanuel has opened up a 11 percent lead over Garcia. All of those commercials Emanuel is running non stop is taking effect. Rahm Emanuel will win the election and it won't be even close. Rahm is tough as nails (he served in the Israeli Defense Forces) and he won't take no for an answer. We need a proven leader not a novice. I'm voting for Rahm.
3/14/2015 07:37:00 AM
The Tribune is in the mayor's pocket.
Everyone gets drafted in Israel. So whoop-de-do on that.
A proven leader? One who WILL stick it up your ass.
He won't win,it will be close.

WTF!!! Who cares. They polled 719 people. Just vote, and vote Chuy.
Problem is the old timers that are long retired have no f-ing clue what we do on the street now. Little do they know how useful that shit is.
3/14/2015 10:13:00 AM
Yeah, and you invented Police Work,right?
If you even know what that is.
The FOP should never endorse anyone.
The FOP should be non-political.

He should get his nose busted daily in that case. Thanks old guy, enjoy retirement.
Emanuel is up by about 3-4%.
The Trib poll is bullshit.
They did this during the Republican governors primary last year.
They said Rauner was beating Dillard by 17 points at one time.
He barely beat him in the end.
Stay vigilant, vote for Chuy.
Lets drop FOP, They are a waste of our money. There has to be another alternative to support OUR cause not the politicians. FOP is just going to suck off who ever wins. The pick no one because who ever wins will get a free blow job. The FOP stands for no one and nothing..just $$$

Amazing! 90% of Of the entire police department is voting for Chuy. Rahm is a very scary guy.

Bullshit. No way will 90% of the police department even vote. At most, 38% will vote, half of them for Rahm, half for Chuy.
Cops don't vote in local or national elections and don't vote in FOP elections. Cops scream about throwing rotten politicians out but neglect the voting part.
FOP did not endorse anyone because it means nothing really. The police just do not vote in any great numbers. Maybe in the 11th or 19th ward, nowhere else.

Things work the way the boss wants them to work. Riccio is a good boss. I was in the academy with him. 86-5. I didn't think much of him but so much for my boss picking skills. He turned out very good. No one need worry. He could handle Supe easily.

I just got my water bill 570.12$....no way anyone should vote for ASSHOLE Rham !!!!!!!
3/14/2015 06:56:00 PM
Yep, you got bent over and abused,however, you CAN prevent that from happening again. Have the water dept install a meter at your house. You will truly be amazed at the difference.
Fop should never endorse any they might have to do business with later.. it's messy and sometimes ppl take it personal.
Everyone gets drafted in Israel. So whoop-de-do on that.
3/15/2015 09:53:00 AM
Rahm lived in Wilmette. He wasn't drafted; he volunteered. So, while his country (reportedly, that's the United States) was fighting the Gulf War, he was working on brakes and shuttling car parts for the Israelis.
The post had NOTHING to do with Riccio, we all know he is a great boss,one of the best. The post had to do with the fact that they keep on putting people in charge of Areas/Units in which they are not familiar with and thats it. Sorry for posting anything.
The FOP should be non-political.
3/15/2015 10:02:00 AM
The FOP could use the CPD as a model.

They guarantee that your rate won't be more than your bill for the next 7 years. After that what? You have to conserve water and pay out the a$$ just to keep the same level you have now.
I think the point is that Rahm claims he didn't increase taxes but he increased everything else the city charges for.
Lots of mail goes directly to regional sorting center post offices. I guess it's faster. Bedford Park and carol stream
Are two of them. Plenty of credit card bills go to carol stream po boxes.
Want a tough sreet kid from St. Rita running chicago or do you want a ballerina dancer from palatine ?

That's Rahm's problem.
He's never had his ass deeply
kicked as a child and especially
as an adult.
Notice the lack of real and hard men
in his proximity...
Nobody who had to fight, scratch and scuffle in real time. Nobody who knows about roof-tops and alleys.
Nobody who had to get up and work on the farm before school or be in a hot place and bang on iron after school...
LOL @ Rahm playing up a "having it so tough growing up in Chicago" narrative.
Artifice?
Contrivance?
Revisionism?
Folklore?
Flat out donkey dung?
Hands soft as a baby's ass and no fighting scars.
Well... Mistuh Meat Slicer excluded.
(We still say the guy Rahm played tough with in the Congressional showers missed doing
this nation a solid by refraining from tearing that stolen human skin off Rahm al-Ghoul's narrow ass.)
Nothing but old women, young, whip smart, green
as monkey shit prog-tard hope & change fanatics (male & female) who make up Rahm al-Ghoul's
human shield and the usual unrepentant rebels without pause (Jesse, Sharpton, Ayers, Dohrn etc) and a host of dazed/confused squat to pee-ers who are riding the running boards of the Sparkle-Farts & Tutu of Fire touring sedan of Fuckery because it's something they believe in and can use as a weapon against everybody that isn't them?
How is it that these relatively few matriarchal fornicators have managed to inflict misery on this nation far in excess of their comparative biomass?

They also vote in big numbers in the 41st ward, once the home to the only Republican Alderman Doherty. Now the home of the very liberal, do nothing Alderman Mary Oconnor. Great chance to dump her now, vote early, vote absentee, just vote, for Anthony Napolitano!!
Hey guess what guys... the party's over ! Now the FOP and every other public sector union is going to have to get in line for the left-over scraps on the table. Did you know that there are more retired cops and fireman receiving pensions today than current active duty personnel.
Do the math...there isn't enough pie left in the refrigerator. Retire now or face the consequences !
