Chicago Ain't Ready for Reform
- With the Cubs favored to win their first World Series title since 1908 and end the longest drought in the history of professional sports, the cost of playoff tickets can be sky-high. That is, unless you happen to be a Chicago alderman.
For the second straight year, all 50 aldermen — and state lawmakers who represent Chicago districts — have been offered the right to purchase two terrace reserved or upper deck tickets for each home playoff game at Wrigley Field all the way through the World Series.
The lucrative perk comes three years after the City Council gave the Cubs the go-ahead to rebuild Wrigley and develop the land around it and less than four months after the Cubs won the limited right to sell beer and wine on an open-air plaza next to the stadium.
Despite the apparent conflict of interest, “more than 70 percent” of City Council members have taken the Cubs up on their generous offer.
The Cubs see nothing wrong with this:
- “They are paying for these tickets. They are not being given a discount or free tickets. In that case, it would be a direct conflict,” Cubs spokesman Julian Green said Monday.
They're just being bumped to the front of the line.....because they vote on contracts and zoning variances that might affect the ball club.

Man I can't wait to make dic and put a end to this corruption
TL
And you know they're going to resell at a higher rate for a ridiculous profit off taxpayers. Cubs win, aldermen man, taxpayer who wasn't bumped to the front of the like...lose.
Anne Kirkpatrick does not approve!! Oh wait, that's only for coppers and $2.00 coffee!
$10 says these alderthieves will turn around and sell them for a healthy profit too.
This is why I won't buy Cub tickets because I have never heard the team players give a applause to law enforcement or offer a promotion like this . Go Soxs!
So free sox tickets are all right?
now go do your yearly ethics test
Julian Green...Chicago native with ties to Obama. Any ties to Ja'mal Green?
Do alderman get sparred if they forget to do their ethics training??
DIRTY ROTTEN POLITICIANS , They make the Ethics Rules then there the First Bastards to break them , Conflict of Interest or anything ,, But God Forbid u get caught doing the Same thing ,,,Well they took the Bait from the Ricketts Family , Buy all the Dirty Politicians u can and have them in your pocket , when the Ricketts Family will be asking soon for More More More Favors . Well they will all be there to see the Cubs lose anyway , what a Heart Break LMAO , Thats what they deserve GO SEE THEM LOSE.
Billy Shakespeare got it wrong. It ain't the lawyers get whacked first, it's the xxxking Alderskanks. I'm way past surprised hearing/reading this type of political corruption - insiders getting special access to special events - but that don't mean it doesn't still make me wanna puke.
From the White House on down to City Hall, every scummy layer of the political class sickens me.
Marie Antoinette meet Hillary Clinton meet Rahm Emanuel. These elitist pukes are so outta touch w/ everyday people - REAL people - it ain't gonna surprise when French Revolution 2.0 sparks off.
EVERY SINGLE alderdouche who takes advantage of this scam should be indicted for illegal bribe-taking - which is what this de facto is, and/or accepting illegal gifts while in office - which this is the same effing thing.
PS - Go Cubs
The Feds should get involved !!!! Corruption .
Is this a problem?
Maybe the city can address this issue on next year's ethics test.
This also applies to concerts at Wrigley Field. When Billy Joel was in town, The Tough Guy from Wilmette and Cong. Quigley were present, and they were there front and center for Paul McCartney as well. And I can understand it, after presiding over a City and Congressional District where hundreds of citizens are murdered, and nobody has a means to solve the mayhem. That has got to be so stressful; except oh, I forgot, these guys run virtually unopposed, so they are assured to retain their positions for life, like an appointment to the Federal Bench. Chicago Politicians operate like royalty, they are accountable to nobody, there is No "Credible" Opposition! Stay Fetal, Fu%k Rahm, Chicago Values = Corruption! Baby"G"
This city is a national disgrace and a direct result of apologetic liberalism.
Politicians = Crooks, Thieves! What a surprise! I'll put money on these jagoffs sitting in the front row with smug smiles! All the more reason I will NOT watch the playoffs and hope the Cubs lose!
And not two shits were given by the useless libs who support these Demoncrats......
C'mon
You knew this was going to happen. Why waste space on this. It happens in every city. If the Cubs get to the World Series there will be about 100 actual ordinary Joe type Cub fans in the seats, the rest will be politicians, celebrities etc in town to witness the historic event.
are they paying market value or face value? I'm hearing that tickets are going for 4x face
How many of their credit cards will be declined?
I guess there are different ethics test for those at city hall then the rest of the city employees. but that doesn't surprise me. The Chicago Way!
Just more Chicago Bullshit and political favoritism in the third degree.
.The most corrupt city, inside the most corrupt county, inside the most currupt state, in the United States.
each of the world series tickets can be sold for over $10k each. good old Chicago.
What special incentive did Ald. Sticky Buns (aka Tunney) get since he has bent over backwards for the Ricketts desires while he also acquiesced to Rahmbellina shorting the area of police with the merger of 19&23rd districts? To use the saying of a fellow SCC reader - he's truly a pantyless cheerleader!
Retired .38 spl +P
We don't want nobody dat nobody sent.
Nothing to see here..... move along.
Oh yeah and make sure you peon officers take your annual ethics test or there'll b he'll to pay.
The Cubs have peeked, they ain't makin the world series!
What would happen to a 19th District PO who works the beat that Wrigley is in, passing by ordinance violations, On his way in to arrange for tickets for himself and friends? Just curious if this is another "do as I say, not as I do" scenario. I have a wager for anyone willing to step up, I bet Rahm won't be seen sitting in the upper deck! His seats will be front and center. Suites (if you can call them that at Wrigley) do not count!
I don't care if they keep the ticket and go to the game, it's still a ticket bought at face value worth at least ten times more. That's not kosher!
Ethics violation? News would condemn a member of the police or fire dept. from taking this offer.
It is a conflict of interest and they shouldn't be alleged allowed to get tickets... those dirty skunks.
I checked my mailbox at the station, guess what. No tickets for me!
Tell Me again, why we fill out Ethics statements each year...Really. These fools who would run the police and the rest of the city for that matter, into the ground, Don't see themselves as an elite class of citizen.
Chicago is a city separated by class, more than race.
Come on!
You expected something different???
This is what our stupid super calls blue code of silence
the difference between this and the free six tickets is that we don't make policy decisions that effect the white Sox but aldermen were notified of the free tickets after approving several contested variances in Chicago building code. That is exactly the kind of thing that the city ethics policy requires that you abstain from
I wouldn't go if I had front row ticket given to me.
I'm not a Cubs Fan, although I think they have a great Roster this year and a great Manager.
But that park is a shithole and dangerous when exiting when attendence is high and a lot of people are drunk.
I was at a concert there once and exiting got really congested with drunks pushing and shoving. It was dangerous. The management was totally ill-prepared. I'll never do that again.
The risk to ones physical saftey from exiting isn't so much the size of the park, in the 1950's Chicago's population was greater by about a million people ( many of whom went to the park), but today people are just bigger and bigger assholes.
Outside the park, if they win? It will be an epic clusterfuck on par with the '68 Grant Park chaos, except it's 21st Century shitbird driven.
No thanks!
Can I have my free meal at that downtown Hotel?
Disgusting.
Citizen fans deserve that break.
Especially the ones who have been mugged comming and going from the game.
Or how about that cop who got cold-cocked right in front of the park a few months ago.
Fuck you Ricketts.
-Citizen.
Business as usual.

Off topic I saw this article as I was researching material for a college class I teach. It is quite interesting how OW Wilson back in 1960 told then Mayor Daley and the rest of the city that politics and policing must remain separate and distinct from each other.
Legendary Lawmen, No. 8: O.W. Wilson
July 07, 2013|By Stephan Benzkofer | Chicago Tribune reporter Here is an excerpt:
"When the search committee offered up its own chairman to lead the department, a reportedly surprised Daley immediately approved. Wilson didn't just bring a sterling reputation, which provided the mayor with much-needed political cover, he also came bearing immediate policy changes ironed out by the committee.
They included suggestions ranging from improving officer uniforms and appearance to a major reorganization of the force, though the most important and revolutionary change was to diminish political meddling and control of the department.
"It is time for them to stop playing politics with the top command of the police department and quit assigning captains on a basis of the influence of ward committeemen and aldermen," Cook County State's Attorney Benjamin Adamowski had said shortly after the scandal hit, zeroing in on what many considered the root of all the evil." For the whole article here is the link:

Unless you are a season ticket holder, the cost for any playoff tickets will be very high. I wonder if any of the police brass, to include the Superintendent will be offered or will obtain tickets? I do recall how a past superintendent had a sergeant working in the 001 District Community Affairs office and the primary job was to obtain free stuff for him. That included free trips to the Caribbean and free use of a luxury in Galena. Has things changed?
Yes our elected are the best/sarcasm look here at the great respect barry obama gets for the country,and the world laughs at weak sick criminal hillary:

What an incredibly stupid comment.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy—always followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
I think our county is just about there....
Channel 9 news just showed a customized back pack for homeless how nice is that. City pack it's called if u want one you can BUY IT and the city is giving homeless jobs. Give me give me give me.
Ethics? We don't need no stink'in ethics.
Alderman getting paid of for allowing Ricketts to take a huge crap on architectural history and ruin the look of formerly historic Wrigley Field, turning it into a generic corporate beer tap. When Ernie Banks died, Wrigley Field & the Cubs died with him. I hope they do what the Cubs always do; choke in the clinch. I'd love it.
I heard Fat Head Ed got tickets for himself and the merit Lt
Providing a spot at he front of the line to well paid part-time public officials should not be allowed.
Even more disgusting is showing their smug faces on national tv while the taxpayer watches on the games on overpriced and unjustly taxed ATT & Comast cable networks.
Shameless fuckers.
Maybe they should take that bogus ethics test all CPD have to what a joke
mayor , alderman send macdonald family a $6,000,000 check after refusing to release video election time CHUY , CHUY nipping at his heels HUSH MONEY?
Police need a new investigative agency ?
I don't think so .
Always the Hypocriscy and the Double Standard, in Communist Chicago
The illegality is the unfair access to the ticket. Aren't the Feds watching? Certainly the State's Attorney will do nothing...
Can't really throw stones when I'm sure a TON of us took free tickets to a sox game. Let's be fair.
Every cop needs to read this. You think it's bad now. Just wait until this COPA thing rolls out. Policing is dead.

screw the game all the hood rats from the south/west sides causing havoc
Getting sox Tickets vs Cubs playoffs for the Cubs Are two way different things. Plus police don't make contract for the city aldermen do, its a conflict of interest both financially & personally. Chicag 2 way ethics.
But they want to ding us for a free cup of coffee. Gald we have numerous lamp posts in this town for when the reset comes.
Crap head useless aldermen getting a $500-$700 break on street value of Cubs playoff tickets.. ask these assholes to get Sans to sweep broken glass fallen out garbage trucks.. that give tire flats ....the Alderman says no help available ..

We have a Representative Republic form of government, not a Democracy. A democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what's for dinner. What we are being changed into is a socialist form of government, where the government controls private business, examples are affordable healthcare act, quantitive easing, cash for clunkers. Our government was designed to be laisse faire, or hands off of industry, with the free market dictating its own course.
Now the government is bleeding business and taxing the middle class out of existence, then they will move in and take over industry, we will then have full blown communism, government owning the means of production.
The founders understood that government is inherently evil and formed a government of checks and balances, three branches, legislative, executive, and judicial, each branch ensuring the others didn't overstep boundaries. The people are endowed with GOD given rights, not rights from the government, so the government can never take them away. That is what has Obama in a snit because he knows the government is shackled by The Constitution and he is doing a bang up job of trampling on it the past eight years with all of his executive orders and unlawful taxes(obamacare).
Total conflict of interest, when you consider how difficult it would be for them to go through normal channels to secure tickets.
Business as usual in the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois.
Nothing new here, please move on, nothing to see here. Chicago politics at its best

Is this any different then some of the streets surrounding Sox park that on game day become private streets managed by a private parking company and you need a special pass to park there? Do you know who gets these special free passes? The political class. Try to park there. And, you have to get your pass from Police HQ.

With the recent copa and comments made by aldermen cops that don't want reform. Where is the fop proposal? What language would you use to hold police officers accountable to the law? you have documented so many times here on how some officers are above the law. For example testing scandal, violations of policy, etc..
If they all get robbed at gun point while outside of the stadium then you folks might get more police protection. But then again these alderman are so stupid that they will just consider it part of the Chicago Crime Victim Tour. If you make it home alive you win. Wake up Chicago. Trump 2016.

A new 100 year curse has been Laid on you.
You can't compare the sox giving free tickets to
First responders to Cubs playoff tickets. The Sox never ever fill that stadium. The first responder days actually help their bottom line by us paying for parking and hitting the concession stands. Politicians getting face value tickets for the hottest team in baseball at a stadium
That always sells out is a form of bribery. Goods and services for future favors.

Thanks. Always good when someone with actual knowledge posts.
I don't believe in the entire premise that the Cubs will win. The Cubs have too much history of letting down in the playoffs. Way too much pressure. Of course they will have a billy goat walk through, and put up No Trespassing Steve Bartman signs.
I hope I am wrong...but I don't think I am. I'll believe it when I see it.

He was promised 35 officers would be assigned to 019 by the end of 2016. So far, 019 has gotten 47. Replacement of retirees, etc wasn't part of the deal. Again, compare those numbers to 12 which now has fewer officers than were in the old, much smaller 12 pre-merger.
