Acupuncturist?
- Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart dumped high-ranking jail officers to cut payroll following the repeal of a countywide tax on sugary drinks, but kept political appointees who supervised acupuncture, cable television and “talent for inmates,” a lawsuit by laid-off officers contends.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in Circuit Court by 17 former jail commanders argues the senior officers were not allowed to accept a drop in rank, and were targeted because they had been active in a drive to form a union nearly a decade ago.
A spokeswoman for Dart fired back that the sheriff was coping with a “bad hand” dealt after County Board President Toni Preckwinkle mandated sweeping cuts— and said the department has never employed an acupuncturist, nor the other positions named in the lawsuit.
And how overloaded is the jail?
- Both suits allege Dart has hired some 200 civilians as directors, high-paying appointed jobs whose ranks were not thinned in the same proportion as employees whose jobs have a more direct role in public safety.
How the Hell do you need 200 directors for anything? CPD has 17 Deputy Chiefs and that's about 10 too many by any measure. But 200 Directors?

I can run a jail. Put me in Charge.
Don’t forget about the director of cable TV. Yes, it’s a real job in the county and it’s 6 figures. It also happens to be a relative of Bobbie Steele
Maybe those are those hires mentioned in Dorothy Brown article... well keep droning as a democratic voter. May as well vote to give these guys a life time position
This was even before Dart cut the Commanders, many of them Ex-Military who served the Sheriff's office and their Country.. The Cook County Commissioners stated Dart has 498 management positions..
Line-By-Line investigation into the Sheriff's budget!
Sheriff Tom Dart's budget has increased 124 million (inflation considered 41 million) since he took office in 2006. The Sheriff added 68 Shakman exempt positions while eliminating 602 full time predominately officer positions in the last decade. Records indicate the Sheriff has been incredibly reckless with budget decisions, resulting in 600+ less officers providing valuable resources and protection to the citizens of Cook County. Records also indicate that Sheriff has had more than sufficient funding to keep staffing at standard/safe levels but inexplicably chose not to do so!
2006 Sheriff Budget:: $388,872,980.00
2016 Sheriff Budget:: $513,351,967.00
Elimination of 602 Jobs..
Sheriff office 2006:: 7,306 full time positions.
Sheriff office 2016:: 6,704 full time positions.
Political Hiring..
Exempt Positions 2006:: 176 positions
Exempt Positions 2016:: 244 positions.
One of the plaintiffs made a statement to the media about the pending lawsuit. Her delivery was completely ungrammatical.
It made me wonder how Dart or anyone else could have ever promoted such a person to a supervisory position?
those poor bosses were a couple pizza parties away from keeping their jobs.... pizza vs jobs. Ahhhh priorities.
We're Mark Brown's wife and Mike Flannery's son laid off? If you're a reporter you're qualified to do anything-including getting a hack job for spouses and offspring!
Retired .38 spl +P
Well, you see - it's all perfectly on the up-and-up. Ummmm, hmmmm. Certainly is.
All those Director-level spots are needed.
There's the:
The Director of Directors
Assistant Director of Directors
Assistant to the Assistant Director of Directors
Director of Cells
Assistant Director of Cells
Assistant to the Assistant Director of Cells
Director of Water... and his assistants and his assistant...
Director of food...etc
Director of floors...etc
Director of the first tier...etc
Director of the second tier...etc
Director of the third tier...etc
Director of parking...etc
Director of bars and locks... etc... now this is a prestigious spot!
Director of sanitation...etc
Director of computers...etc
... see where this is going? All these people, their assistants, and their assistants are necessary!!!!!!!!!
Those guys who got fired? Well, they just take care of stuff like managing our guest's daily lives, and we're trying to make the guests become more reliant so ummm, those guys who got fired just weren't needed because the guests are doing so great!
What is remarkable is how many friends and family of local media he has hired.
Because Dart thinks he is slick. This guy is a mental. Thats a given. He is on the ballot alone because he uses the Madigan strategy. Madigan unleashes all kinds of anit 2A bills to take the heat of himself for the sexual harassment stuff swirling around him. The media is just too stupid to look at anything anymore. This state stinks a very foul odor.
Typical bloated Crook County.
If you can't take care of friends, family, side boxes or boy toys than what good are you in chicago politics? Now pass me another slice of za...
Tom Dart political career is cooked. He should just resign before he further embarrasses himself. It's actually cringe-worthy watching the papers mock him.

Fellow Copper, I believe this ole line from Hamlet must apply
Marcellus:
Something is rotten in the state of Illinois (Denmark.)
Tis the whole innerds that is spoiled afoul mate
At 10k each for directors position Dart could have had a 2 million payday taxfree. Think about it.
Maybe not an acupuncturist, but they have been
using venipuncture to suck your blood and treasure
through a 16 Guage needle.
I did not see a position for Blood Bank Director.
Unfortunately, this will not go anywhere in a cook county court
They may even have a director for Little Tommy's little weenee.
From one who knows.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Vote Republican
My two favorites: “Director of Directors” and director of cable TV. Cable for the prisoners??? Democrats are synonymous with broke ass communists. Weak asses that are strong by their numbers. Is it true that dart has a secondary told as director of cuckolding operations?
OT but related. Was watching TV last night. Saw a Sun times add supporting for Pritzker. Media organizations announcing political support for specific parties and candidates. More communist propaganda.

Have you looked around our ranks lately?? You must be new here.
The math is pretty simple. Preckwinkle emptied the jail through her cronie Kim
Foxx simply through decriminalization and re-labeling violent crimes as non-violent crime. Dart went along with it when it suited him politically. Evans went along with it because Preckwinkle got some members of the Illinois Supreme Court to threaten Evans with removal if he didn’t go along with it. So the jail population is now reduced by more than 5,000 people per day.
Here goes the math: 5000 inmates x $143/day = $715,000/day savings. $715,000 x 365 = $260,975,000
President Preckwinkle, where is our $260,975,000?
I want to be Director of Pizza Parties and Masterbation Shenanigans.
Gimme $120,000 a year and a pension Dart!
If you don't like it you can do something about it: vote him out of office.
However, me thinks the sheeple are to stupid to do anything other than vote the regular democrat party line.
Prove me wrong.
I dare you.
You know I'm right (unfortunately).
it should not be real hard to determine if the county jail was supplying acupuncture services to inmates. it seems unlikely that the sheriff's minion would flat out deny something like that if it was true, when the facts can be readily discovered.
Commie Dart doing it intentionally, destroying the system is the Communist plan for the USA. This is their big push to take over fully, Because they are freaking out over Trumps election, it's do or die for the Commies now. They know they are going down the drain fast and that the Sheeple have all weekend . It's a nationwide push by the Communists that has been going on since the 70s and is now in full blossom .
Brown clowns and jail guards: Political hacks live by the sword and die by the sword so I don't complain now, you always want to take the good when it's good for you but not others, so now take the bad with the bad. Man up you political hacks!
Yet you look around see the county coppers, driving pool vehicles that resemble our junkers but yet he is hiring so many 6 figured waste of space directors on the democratic hiring "friends and family' program, but then again they have to payoff and kickback to the democratic masters salary, hey just like Dorothee brown's office and cpd bosses kick back to keep that position!
On another subject:
2 killed at Central Michigan University, gunman 'armed and dangerous' still at large
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/02/gunman-opens-fire-at-central-michigan-university-2-shot.html
What is our plan, you know with the media sensationalizing this is only a matter of time when we have to respond to something violent at a school! Most of these happen during day shift 2nd watch when we have fewest coppers working,and mostly 1 man cars.
Every car every copper should be rifle trained and rifle with them at all times, I know it is bulky but if your 1st car on scene better to be well prepared,and ready to go in!
Years ago at least (I know many years ago) we had shotguns in the cars and all you would had to do say at a tavern/bar fight just walk in rack it and watch how quickly the aniamls would calm down, now with the enw and fuzzy policing we are the bastardized for anything and everything we do, job 31 is protect each other simple as that!
1) There is not a director of acupuncture or cable in the jail. Those are positions elsewhere in the county budget. The cable position is for the county board. The acupuncture position is for the Health and Hospital System.
2) If you look at what these allegations are based on -- a list floating around blogs and facebook pages, you can easily tell that the individual pulled a list of all directors across the entire county budget. That is where the 200 figure comes from.
This is made up inforamtion and it is just factually not true.
There’s gotta be a Director and Deputy Director of Pizza right?
I'm Shocked Shocked to find out there is gambling going on here.
Your winnings sir
0h thank you very much
I'll just leave this little nugget here . . .
Administratium
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by physicists at a major U.S. research university. The element, tentatively named administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons.
Since it has no electrons, administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of administratium caused one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.
Research at other laboratories has indicated that administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings.
Scientists point out that administratium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.
There’s even a director directing the directors director.
Just about everyone is a patronage player in a management position.
If your not, then you’re square.
I know the County barber is a director...of style and profile.
Every morning Dart has to have someone put his pants on for him.
Poor guy never knows if he’s coming or going.
It’s not an easy job with wicked Prickwinker getting up in your shit for no reason.
Allowing the County to run unchecked is an nuts.
Nothing changes until PrickWanker is ousted from Cook County and Rahm booted back to DC to advise a sneaky, shady shadow gubmint operative (if he’s looking for a flat, I got a guy).
And then there’s the Prickwanker endorsed referendum on the Cook County Primary ballot this March 20 :
Legalize narcotic weed, but huffing legal readily available toluene derivatives is still illegal under Intoxicating Compounds (guess there’s no disproportionate useages)
It’s about time for Recall and Term Limits on the Referenda for Elected City, County and State officials.
I’d settle for a Federal audit of the County’s books.

Love it!!!!
Hey tommy,
You need to google " how to tie a necktie".
Every time you appear on the media you look like you just stumbled out of Brewbaker's, and slept in the alley. You are an Embarrassment to any sheriff in the USA.
By kicking out all the inmates, the money saved not buying pizza should be enough to pay for the deputies wages!
J.J.
Hey pizza man!
You want some extra sauce?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

^^^^^^^ wtf !!! are you from cook county ? Where the fuck are you from ? This fucking asshole is just
Getting started this cock sucker is gonna be there until he wants to be !!!!
Are you any where near IL ? When is the last time a political career ended in cook county / Chicago ?
And don’t say the Gov , he fucked his father in law so they threw him in jail to straiten him out !!’ As long as you take the shalong
Then you’ll go on !!!
The incestuous cesspool of Crook County politics
Will we get the same spa treatment when we become political prisoners of the left?
Of course all the director positions were sold to the highest bidder or given to clout heavy guys to give out. Ya, its all legit.
All were political appointments and when the power changed, they are offended and file suit. You got in with the clout and cry unfair when it goes away.
Can I get one of those Acupuncturist spots? I have been sticking pins in my Rahm doll and it's starting to work, not fast but it is working. Where can I find a Dart doll? Got plenty of pins but just need the dolls. May be we need a doll director I could handle that to. Two jobs get two checks,right?
If the days of "Best man for the job" returned, this Sheriff and all his clouted flunkies would be in the unemployment line.
