More Parking Bribes?

  • The FBI is investigating whether an executive at the firm that manages Chicago's privatized parking meters was paid $90,000 in bribes to steer a contract to install and maintain the controversial meters across the city.

    The alleged kickback scheme was laid out in an FBI search warrant affidavit filed in February seeking access to two email accounts tied to the vice president of government services at LAZ Parking, the firm hired by a Morgan Stanley-led business consortium in 2008 to manage the privatized meters in Chicago.

    According to the 17-page filing that was made public recently, the LAZ executive met with the president and CEO of another firm, identified only as Company A, at a Florida restaurant in late 2008, as the city's much-maligned $1.2 billion deal to lease the meters for 75 years was being finalized.
With the stink of corruption all over this thing, there just might be a possibility of getting control back over street parking. And maybe, with the right pressure, getting Shortshanks put behind bars.

Hmmmm...

A chink in the artfully crafted armor of Daley Inc.?

Wait... Hold on...
We're gonna have to put on a pot of popcorn
the old-fashioned way and have a bottle of
"liquid bread" to go with it.

THIS shit... Is finna get GOOOOD!

The money people from Daley Inc. AND
Rahm & Co. are going to start cannibalizing
each other the minute the Feds start whistling
these dirty fucks in to attend their indictment
parties.

Silly fucks...
Shortshanks got the good seat on the Federal bus.

Every other greedy, thieving swing-dick/hang-tit gets
a closer than close view of the under-carriage.

M/Fers wound around the driveshaft and mashed between
those rear tandem tires an' shit...

Maybe some select members of local media will get
dragged under the front bumper kicking and screaming.

Heh... Hopefully, their eventual pain and inconvenience will provide us some
much needed comic relief for us.

Prediction: Richard M. Daley will very shortly put himself in Northwestern Hospital for a variety of illnesses to avoid being questioned.

Rahm should get this contract dumped then soak up all the profits and start paying those pensions off.

Sounds too complicated right DEAN. Patrol officer can't handle all these big numbers but Rahm can run a billion dollar City!

Yeah! Let's get that damn contract voided!


I thought the same thing but wouldn't the city then have to return the money they took to begin with?


Forget that! The Daley Crime Family has already distributed that money to all of the usual suspects.


... Or is that why 9 and 1/2 took out that billion loan?

Rahm doesn't like to waste money on useless litigation.

Daley learned to insulate himself from any responsibility.

when two retired guys with a pocket calculator figured out over coffee that the taxpayers were out over a billion, just where were our elected officials? Busy looking for another envelope perhaps?

Daley is not going to jail and if the city takes over the streets again then we will pay more and not a dime will go to our pensions! What do you think, because the city scores a huge windfall that the first thing Rham does is take care of police pensions?

Some people will never get it

Daley behind bars? LOL. He has enough people under him that he's untouchable - that's how the mob works. As long as he pays his income taxes he's just fine.

As long as there are judges like Judge Moshe Jacobious, Daley will never ever sit in a witness chair or see the inside of a prison.
