Not Our Culture?
- Inspector General Joe Ferguson uncovered racist and sexist emails circulating in the Department of Water Management while investigating allegations that the son of a former alderman had used his city email account to sell guns, City Hall sources said Monday.
Paul Hansen, a now-fired, $122,280-a-year district superintendent in the Department of Water Management, is the son of former longtime Ald. Bernard Hansen (44th). The elder Hansen presided over Wrigleyville during the Cubs’ marathon battle for lights at Wrigley Field.
On Monday, Paul Hansen refused to comment about the gun or email investigation before hanging up on a Chicago Sun-Times reporter. His checkered past with the Department of Water Management includes allegations that his political clout helped him get his job back after a DUI conviction.
[...]
Emanuel was tight-lipped when asked Monday to define the role he accused Murphy of playing in the email scandal. But he referred obliquely to the broader investigation of alleged gun sales.
“We were made aware from an IG report on one particular employee. But in that process, it exposed a culture in the Water Department and in the workplace that, in my view, does not represent what the city’s values are,” the mayor said.
We'd certainly welcome a clarification of Chicago's values as defined by Rahm:
- Rahm claimed Chick-fil-A didn't reflect Chicago values because their company owners ascribe to the Catholic view of marriage - not that they discriminated (they didn't), but that they believe in it; Rahm then welcomed Louis Farrakhan, one of the bigger racists in our lifetimes, to the violence plagued streets of the south side;
- Rahm got outraged when someone with pirated radio uses racial slurs over a police zone, but his people hire back a known drunk who dealt guns over the city's e-mail system and spread racist e-mails to subordinates and supervisors;
Rahm doesn't seem to have a handle on "values" at all.
UPDATE: More Chicago "culture:"
UPDATE: More Chicago "culture:"
- bribery for speed/red light cameras that enrich connected companies;
- passing a one-day amnesty for an aldercreature to register guns;
- crooked contracts that got the head of schools 7 years;
- establishing "residency" via a forgotten wedding dress;
- cheating on promotional exams;

Attention trolls There is a 99 percent chance Louis Farrakhan had a roll in the death of Malcom X. I know you would never believe Louis could do such a thing. I mean he loves all people right? How about looking up his views on Judaism.
Rahm is so freakin' awesome, isn't he?
Of course Mayor Rahm has values. He is a liberal democrat, and they all have lots of values. Just ask one.
"I got CLOUT!
Watchoo peed-on peons
be about?"
Until the protective, self-regenerating
insulation of clout is burned off every
politically connected ass in this city?
This is the shit that will keep happening...
Let's look at the Catholic view of marriage, and the orthodox Jewish version--- the thing is I use to go to the same synagogue as Rham did back in the 90s. Remember me Rahm, I was the kid who wore blue jeans to synagogue, you asshole.
Rahm like every pol, and in particular demorats, talks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time. And when scandal hits Rahm reverts to denying, deflecting, redirecting and blaming to move the spotlight. But you pull that same shit and you're taking days. That's the problem with this town. Those who are connected and the pols are on a merry-go-round pulling the brass ring everytime it comes around and when the buzzer sounds everyone switches rides and continue to pull the brass ring.
How dare a shameless reprobate like Tiny Dancer speak of "Chicago values". Chicago has a well-deserved notorious reputation as the most politically corrupt major city in the nation.
Boy thats a lot of scandals under rahm, as always right?
Fuck you rahm
Nothing will happen to any of these fine upstanding men. With the rampant crime in the city done by young black and brown men, this will be swept under the rug. But it does bear to mention yet again, another city department with Directors to the Assistant to the Deputy, all making over 100k, plus pension, plus perks for a do nothing no show gig. These are the jobs no one else will do right? I would have to guess they are 11th and 19th Ward citizens with degrees for Ivy League colleges right? The book Boss by Mike Royko is still true to this day. Just total bullshit. If you are a contract worker your ass is fired immediately. But you can sell guns on work email, send racists and sexual email, and still keep your gig, and I bet he will work in another city department or become a lobbyist of some sort. But let's chase the man getting a 10,000 drop. Got it.
Rahm has his head way to FAR UP HIS ASS to known whats UP or DOWN , Right or Wrong , That Prick Ballerina Yuppie Asshole has to go . and everything he has done has to be switched back like Trump is doing about everything Obama did . Has to be the WORST MAYOR this City has ever had
My values are that Rahm needs to hit the exit door in the next election and to the unemployment line!
rahm has no values, no spawn of the devil has.
He's got a handle on values, but his values include using vile language, bullying, cutting off retiree health insurance, sticking it in cops' ears.. ot virtuous values by any stretch of the imagination.
City Values?????...Oh, he must mean all the corruption and Shennaigans etc, etc Those Values you FUCKING TURD?????
Creepy Joe Ferguson goes after the low hanging fruit, but what is this political hack/Rahm's water carrier doing about "merit" promotions, Lt. cheating scandal, secret e-mail accounts set up by Mayor's office, pay to play by money managers etc.
The mayor is obviously delusional no wonder he closed so many mental health centers putting the people in the community that need mental health services out on the street where they commit crimes some of them violent. Maybe this was done because the mayor knows that he would be committed into one of these institutions along with many of the alderman who is mindsets are totally against the will of the people.
Will they get a pension this happen on the job they should have been fired iG was looking at this for over 8 months only in Chicago
Chicago has lots of values.....valuable crime scene tape.
Whtat you should take out of this is if you email anything with the Department EMAIL it will haunt you!
It can also be used for all those kool TO FROM exempts use to shame and scare you.
You see the exempt can never just toss an email and whatever you write becomes a fact.
So always email anything if you fear the merit white shirt. The clouted do it to you...
One of our own, kinda, since he has been on CPD leave of absence for about 38 years, but I'm willing to bet has kept up his pension payments, quit the water department during this current scandal. Any word is W. B. is caught up in this mess?
don't forget takin away healthcare for retired city workers!

Yes, it is endless list of corruption and it will not stop until we have a true two party system in Cook County and Chicago. After the exposure of massive patronage and abuse of public money under former Gov. Quinn, I suspect that the same thing is going on under Preckwinkle in the County and Rahm in the city. But, the Tribune and Times just are interested in really digging into any of this. By, the way, don't hold your breath waiting for the Inspector General to really do anything about promotions cheating allegations.
Rahm is a clown! Chicago values???? How about corruption? How about the water department boss being the son of a former Alderman? Funny how that works. Barbra Byrd Bennett did she share your values too? Alderman Area...Does his hateful comments respresent Chicago values? What a joke this place is.
Seems like I remember Hillary Clinton spouting all kinds of American values just before she got her butt kicked in the electoral college. The redder the map got that night, the more I realized most other people were like me and didn't believe in Hillary's values either.
I suspect Mayor Rahm, like Mrs. Clinton, has values that are in the minority. I suspect the liberal democrat values would be greatly appreciated in almost any communist country. Wish they would go to one and leave America and Americans alone. We don't need them.
J.J.
How about honorary street signs for revolutionary Puerto Rican bomb throwers respnsonsible for who knows how many deaths? What about our former Presidents's friends Dohrn and Ayres and their revolutionary bomb throwing days? All good loyal DemocRats who surely represent Chicago values.
These are surely the type of people we want our children to emulate.
You could build the worlds largest ski hill with the bodies of all who have been involved in scandals and outright malfeasance in this city. It will never change. Amazing anything actually gets done.
Rahm's culture is one of deceit, lies and disdain.
Oh yeah and pandering his ass off to the Link abusing leeches of society in "the community"
"But... But... It's you out-of-control, mean and racist
blue collar angst having, Mt. Greenwood and Dunning
dwelling Cops, who are the problem in Chicago with
your nasty, conservative leanings and your rejection
of inclusion and multi-culturalism. We're going to fix
you guys and make you finally see things our way."
Bresnahan the lawyer got fired hell it should have happen 30 years ago Iam a lawyer good luck
The media working hard and is protecting Rahm's image and won't expand the story.
Rahm is a Democrat steeped in clintonism and a dedicated obamaphyte, lying isn't an option - its an inherent and cherished right that he embraced way before ever elected to Illinois politics, going back to his disruptive and reckless protestor participant days.
Chicago Values are the worth equivalent of a yay high stack of sweaty Bubble Bucks.
Screw Rahm and stay fetal.
can you take out a full page add in the suntimes and tribune with that stats please
Rahm's "values" belong in bizzaro world.
OT: After viewing the River North video of the security guard getting punched in the face by a misunderstood citizen, remember the difference in height and weight between them. Now, imagine even bigger differences between David Koschman and the pos nephew of shanks, Richard J "R.J." Vanecko.
The misunderstood citizen and Vanecko should both have their balls cut off.
Hi Rahmmie!
Remember me?
Hugs and Kisses...

Have you not been paying attention? WTF, obviously your not a Detective!
Finally a alderfool answers SCC and it is not good. WTF man are we in North Korea?
We've asked for this in the past, as well as an update on the previous
years' budgets that don't seem to add up at the end of the year. it's
virtually impossible to get anything from CPS through the committee
which the mayor keeps his fist on.
It is pretty clear there is fraud but the council cannot compel the
CPS board or staff to testify nor hold them in contempt like they can
in Congress.
The only way right now is to get the CPS IG to be on top of every bad
deal, but they've also been hampered by lack of staff and
misdirection by CPS. it's going to take full removal of the board to
get major changes needed, and by then it will be harder to get out of
the hole they put CPS into. But we have been making the IG aware of
everything we can.
forgotten in the wayback machine: Ed Rostenkowsky "mailman", bobby rush "panther" and pedofile - favorite? catholic skool girls, just 2 in the moldy oldies.
We need this type of culture:

.... people and folks being held accountable
One of your own ? Your better than that. Bresnahan was a piece of shit for a long time.
Rahm just fired one of his best friends, the Water commissioner. Friends for over 25 years. Do you really think he cares about YOUR pension?
"Emanuel was tight-lipped"
(not so with Barry)
Bow Tie Daddy
Not to mention how Rahm pals around with Chance the Rapper whos lyrics include such gems as "cops could eat a dick" and what comes off as pedophilia with "Look, let me put my mouth where you potty, boo" Who would talk like this to a grown person? Maybe I'm wrong tho. Chance could be romancing Rahm and/or Obama with that last line. But seriously
These are Obama and Rahm's values it's who they are. Why this guy is allowed anywhere near the schools and the children is beyond me. CPS should give his money back. The people should demand it. To top it off Obama is gonna build a recording studio and said he hopes chance comes to indoctrinate the kids with his 'art' wtf?
Old School Louis: still covets and plays
Miles, Marvin, Parliament Funkadelic on
8-track Panasonic home player.
J. Edgar Hoover turned him on to cross-
dressing long before Flip Wilson used the bit.
Bresnahan the lawyer, also a pompous, arrogant prick, got fired? Couldn't of happened to a more deserving jagoff. Is the wife, Captain Laurel, still working? He'll live off of her!
Is anybody making the connection between one of those water department guys and a CPD Captain?

=============================================
This was my post and no one came running to his defense, just as I imagined no one would. Every negative thing said about that asshole is 100% right. The first day he walked into the deuce, that jaggoff was saying he wouldn't be there long, through that smug, shitt eating grin on his face. Laurel was just along for the ride. Saw her move through her clouted career but she was nice and I liked her.
When will joe investigate a case referred to him by IPRA? This is a little too close to Rahm's agenda. No wonder joe was reappointed.
Rahm's values and law abiding citizens are as different as night and day. Rahm is a liar and a thief.
TheRahm- hole asshole hipocryt makes sure the City installs red light scamera systems in all the neighborhoods, as he has his personal driver run red lights- because he's in a hurry- and that's OK with him! His "Fuck the Citizens of Chicago" attitude is not inspiring at all! When will he give a shit about anyone but himself? Never! What a tool!
The word is getting out and soon things will be as they ought to be.
