How the FOP Voted

  • ...in order to comply with the intended transparency behind aforementioned motion:

      1st Vice-President Ray Casiano; 2nd Vice President Frank DiMaria, Recording Secretary Greg Bella; Treasurer John Capparelli; Financial Secretary Kevin Kilmer; Past President Bill Nolan; Sergeant of Arms Bill Burns; Trustee Chairman Robert Rutherford; Trustees Dean Angelo, Jr., Pat Duckhorn, Kathleen Gahagan, Joseph Gentile, Ken Hauser, Tom Lonergan, Kevin McNulty, Landry Reeves, Inez Riley, Jay Ryan, Steve Schorsch and Ron Shogren each cast their vote for No Endorsement.

      Third Vice President Daniel Gorman; Sergeants of Arms Al Francis, Jr. and James Moriarty, Jr.; Trustees Sergio Escobedo, Michael Garza and Daniel Trevino cast their vote for Mr. Garcia.

      Trustee Mark Donahue cast his vote for Mayor Emanuel.
As the immediate past-president, Donahue doesn't have to face the members - his spot is guaranteed in the by-laws. And who knows what he was promised in order to stand alone with Rahm on a 20-to-6-to-1 ballot. We think that vote alone justified the complete ouster of anyone associated with the old Citywide crew. You want to know who's standing behind you with the mayor, greasing up your ass for the pension fucking? There he is boys and girls.

The FOP tried to eliminate the 3rd VP spot recently....perhaps they should have concentrated on another spot instead?

SCC, I said this four years ago when every body was celebrating Daley not running, and I will say it again. The devil you know might be better than the one you don't. (And this comes from someone that thinks Richie Daley should be in jail.) We rightfully dislike Rahm, but I will guarantee that if super liberal Chuy gets in he will be worse than Rahm. I know many will disagree with me but Rahm was worse than Daley, and Chuy will be worse than Rahm. If you dont' believe me just look at all of the endorsements that Chuy has picked up from the super liberal and extreme radical wings of the Democratic party. That ought to tell you something.

Forget the I'm from Our Lady of I Don't Give a Damn parish on the Southwest Side! The Parochial nonsense that has pitted Southside against Northside should have ceased to be an issue decades ago, especially now that perhaps 20% of CPD never even grew up in Chicago. But people like Donahue through his entire reign retained an ass kissing loyalty to the Daley Machine and the parochialism that keeps us apart rather than together. So it should come as no surprise where his loyalty lies because Rahm is a continuation of Daley and what is left of his Machine. Yet there is an element of irony in all this because Garcia is in fact himself a Southsider, the product of a good "Katlick" High School, unlike Rahm who is an outsider. So why would you not support a fellow Neighborhood Guy? Is it possibly because he is Not White? Nobody has brought up the Race issue in this campaign, but it is the 600 Pound Gorilla in the room. Those guys from that Southside background would vote for a "Colored Guy" before they would vote for a Wetback. And make no mistake about it and remember these two points: 1. Rahm in 4 yrs. has FAILED to produce an economic recovery or solved the pension mess, left by HIS people. Yes, suburban contractors and law firms that contribute to his campaign have made millions, but the problems for us remain. 2. Rahm has total contempt for working class people, as evidenced by the Teachers Strike and the way he held the Retro like a Treat held over the head of your dog. Rahm is not worthy of your vote."G"

Some bad information SCC. At the Pac meeting their was 7 votes for Rahm not enough to endorse him. But some of the Pac members changed their vote when they had to go on record. Dean told us that 60% 0f the vote went for Chuy. Also your Citywide connection is flawed. Frank DiMaria, Greg Bella, Jim Moriarty, John Capparelli, Pat Duckhorn, Ron Shogren, Mike Garza and Dan Trevino were all Citywide under Mark Donahue.

All I know is what I see, Rahm gave us McCompstat and a virtual united nations of commanders including those of every sexual orientation for votes, not to be the best choice to run the department. He also gave us numerous deputy chiefs,commanders and now a sgt. that have retired and are still here as directors collecting a pension and a salary. Not because they are the best, but because they have the hook up. I voted early for Garcia.

Why the f#@% ask the body of the bargaining unit who they want to endorse as mayor when the entire time if Rhamitupourarses didn't get the votes the board would not endorse anyone. Its amazing how Deano (pour some water on him and maybe he could see over the podium) spend the money on calling, mailings, meetings, private meetings, even more private meetings and then send out mailings after the count still not endorse anyone but Rhamyourbenefits. Chew may not be the answer but he is the answer to remove Rhamofficersafety, Rhamyourpension, Youallhavetobleedemanuel from office before we are put in a position of no return. How dare you all stand before this body and allow this to happen. You gave an ending date on a contract.......never before in our history did this happen. ALL BENEFITS CONTINUE UNTIL A NEW CONTRACT IS RATIFIED is what this contract should have stated. NOT UNTIL JUNE 31 2017. You screwed everyone who misses that date by age or service you selfcentered tiny little ass. These people worked for that benefit and you shanked them......just so junior could be a sergeant.....really.

Easy SCC. Let's understand something. Aside from Emmanuel being a tool (just like Chuy) look at the track record. It speaks for itself. If we really want change why doesn't the cowardly REPUBLICAN party put a candidate in for Mayor. Emmauel IS the best choice for now.

Show me proof that he is from the "far out whacko wing of the Democratic Party". He has not done anything that could be considered as such in I his lengthy career of elected and public service. People seem to think that because he was a supporter of former Mayor Washington during "council wars", that he is some kind of demon. Well I can tell you that I was a young Policeman during that time, and the old guard democrats had this city in terrible shape. Under Mayor Washington, we had a pretty good Police Department. In addition, I was assigned to the 10th District back then, and while Ald. Garcia may have been a bit vocal; I know of no time when he caused harm to the Police. He was simply a younger elected official who was from the neighborhood and he found himself to be with the elected in-crowd and he made the most of it. Who wouldn't!
In regards to the issues that have been raised concerning his son, who cares. How many times have we seen coppers who raise their families in better neighborhoods than Little Village, who are having major issues with their own kids being involved with gangs, guns and drugs.
So the bottom line is that in the grand scheme of things, Jesus Garcia may not be the best choice for Mayor; but Rahm Emmanuel was given his chance to fulfill his 2011 campaign promises and he has failed us. Are we going to do the whole Rich Daley thing again and let someone build a dynasty without serving the citizens of Chicago, that is why we are in this situation now.
Think about it, prior to Rahm Emmanuel being forced into this runoff election, whenever he spoke about a Chicago casino, he was firm in his requirement that any revenues from it had to go to education. Fast forward to the runoff debates, and suddenly he says casino revenue would have to go toward pensions. He is only telling us what he thinks the voters want to hear.
Let's face facts everyone, it is time for a change. This city cannot continue under the Emmanuel regime!
Signed,
A very concerned cop.

Daley better than Rahm. Not true. In you can't see the forest through the trees, Daley bought votes using the machine to provide lots of jobs with the city, county and state. A huge number went to the Irish clans of the city, but he spread the gravy around to other ethnic and racial groups to maintain power.

But the wage rates were too high and the pensions were unaffordable. At least they would have required taxes to be raised high enough to make many leave the city. Meanwhile they funneled funds to friends and other political allies through contracts and tifs and raided the Chicago's assets. He borrowed to pay, and when he could not borrow more he sold the Skyway and leased to parking meters for pennies on the dollar.
Daley allowed the problem to happen, and city employees were happy as long as the cash kept flowing. Residents wishfully thought $4500 a year in property tax was sufficient to pay for everything.

Rahm suck's because he is a first class asshole, and he could care less about working people, but make no mistake: Daley and company, city employee unions, employees and even our apathetic/stupid Chicago voters made the shit sandwich. Not Rahm.

Rahm may be a more accomplished money getter but he spends those funds only on what HE wants to spend it on.
In case you haven't noticed Rahm despises us, hates our pension and has refused to make the city's required pension obligations until he gets the "reform" that HE wants.

Amen to that brother!

Dan Gorman is a detective in Area Cental-the shit unit of the D Unit. How does that make him all about himself? The Supt said he would send DG anywhere he wanted and DG turned his back on the Supt. Btw, I am a stripped Po and DG is the only one at FOP who tried helping me. Fight the good fight DG and dont let the small minority from helping us. -B.P.

SCC, I said this four years ago when every body was celebrating Daley not running, and I will say it again. The devil you know might be better than the one you don't. (And this comes from someone that thinks Richie Daley should be in jail.) We rightfully dislike Rahm, but I will guarantee that if super liberal Chuy gets in he will be worse than Rahm. I know many will disagree with me but Rahm was worse than Daley, and Chuy will be worse than Rahm. If you dont' believe me just look at all of the endorsements that Chuy has picked up from the super liberal and extreme radical wings of the Democratic party. That ought to tell you something.

RAHM HAD FOUR YEARS TO FIX IT AND HE DID NOTHING BUT TANK IT EVEN FURTHER!!!

I don't care whose fault it is; that's a different discussion. Rahm did nothing after coming into office but make things worse, import and hire a felon Ahmad, and two major imcompetents, Brizard and McCarthy, and blow our slush fund, er TIF money, on pet projects instead of existing obligations.

Nolan has now left the county and is on the fop payroll once again, working for Dean. Mark Donahue's group gave us free health insurance at 55, new work schedule and Mark is the reason that 550 million dollar payment is due to our pension fund. Nolan did nothing for our pension fund in his 9 years as president and Dean just gave away our free insurance at 55. Yea, Mark Donahue is the one screwing us! Wake up bloggers, you are the police!

They were saying that since John Dineen. They had one great candidate for FOP President. Wally Simienak. RIP Wally, heart attack got him. Now they have the holdover from the Nolan years, no one any good in other words. Now I am retired.

Best of luck to you all. As long as the majority find their FOP ballot still on the kitchen table in June of an election year it will be like this.

You do not know what you are talking about as far as the 010th District Coppers and the Basketball Hoop...There were repeated calls of 2/6 gang members (not little kids) playing ball in the streets, blocking traffic, smoking weed and harassing passerbys...they were told to stop repeatedly and would not...no one owned up to the basketball Hoop so the ooficers didi what they did..yes, in hindsight they should not have done it, but they did not destroy some innocent kids property or steal it...one of the guys on TV complaining even had on gang colors...how about the community back the officers up, yes in hind sight they did it wrong but at least they tried to do something about punk gangbangers making it unsafe for kids to walk down the block...and as far as if they stole before, they did not steal shit, they are very honorable officers who got caught up in the moment of gang members blowing them off...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The preceding message was brought to you by the committee to elect Bill Dougherty president of FOP!
If Billy Dougherty is ever elected president he will appoint Markie Donahue a field rep.

Donahue worked as our lobbyist for 75k the last three years. He got to keep the FOP car he had as president. What he did was then submitted his gas receipts for reimbursement along with the milage allowance. The two items were never voted on at any board meeting I recall! Mark did not get us the 55 and out health care. They had given up on it by then. The city came back to FOP and wanted it because it saved them money. Get a guy making 90k to leave and replace them with a recruit making 45k. Dean did not give away the health care. The firemen and the sellout Sgt.’s did that to us.

And anyone who was born after 01 Jan 55 will not get the 3% cola. Mark dropped the ball on that one in Springfield too.

Again, its the blog we can say anything we want even if its a lie.

The Facts one by one. Mark did work as the FOP Legislative Director under Mike Shields. Shields kept him in because of the excellent job Donahue did in Springfield. The 3% cola was a Dineen screw up because he agreed to go back every 5 years to renew the cola not Donahue. When Donahue addressed the cola he would have had to agree to reduce our pensions. That's why the date and by the way Donahue was born after 1955 he said this at many meetings, so he doesn't get the cola either. The bill guaranteeing the 550 million this year was passed in 2010 under Donahue's time as president.
The free insurance at 55 was first implemented in 2009, again under Donahue. The Lodge negotiated this in 2009 and even hired someone to show the City that it would save them money. Dean did give it away this contract its in black and white in new contract books. If this was saving the city money why would we agree to give the city 2% more now and even more in the future. That's stupid!

Dean has a history of being on the negotiating team and giving the city much of our money in health insurance. We pay a percentage of our salaries for health insurance because when Dean was on the negotiating team he agreed to it even though Fop members voted it down.

These are the facts. All you have to do is check the books!

Donahue bought the car that he has and yes the lodge reimbursed him for mileage.
