Nice Airport Rahm

  • The deputy commissioner for Chicago's Aviation Department has been forced out of his post, officials confirmed Thursday, a day after reports he received a five-day suspension.

    "Mr. Manzano no longer works for the Chicago Department of Aviation," a department spokesperson said. "We do not comment on personnel matters."

    NBC 5 first revealed in May that Juan Manzano, the point person for the city's concessions at O'Hare and Midway airports, faced five complaints of harassment and bullying from male and female aviation employees.

    The allegations of threatening behavior surfaced days after Mayor Rahm Emanuel unveiled a new anti-harassment campaign tied to the #MeToo movement.
Rahm would keep a serial killer on staff if it would help him garner votes, so a serial harasser isn't hard to imagine. Hell, we see who he keeps in the upper echelons of CPD, and their antics would embarrass anyone with a functioning conscience.

So with Ginger leaving, this guy being forced out and the assorted rumors of mismanagement and misappropriation, one has to wonder if a few chickens aren't coming home to roost.

It just means that Rahm does not put up with mismanagement and misbehavior. He wants his high level people to keep on the straight and narrow.

Why is the city stopping there? There should be a long line of terminations. Unless someone does not want the unemployment office to look like it should be.

^^^Couldn’t be more true, especially with these bosses sleeping with the rank and file or covering up their in-house marital flops.

In these parts, chickens don't come home to roost; they either retire to their chosen retirement coops or end up as part of someone's mcnugget.

The airports is where the coruption is. Every concession kicks money back to the politically elite. Pay to play Chicago style!

Rahm wants to be the head bully. No room for others.

I don't believe that his firing is a result of 'bullying' complaints.
It's either a power play by Rahm or damage control for some shenanigans that might be exposed soon.
To quote Rahm, (Oct 30, 2012) "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
Three other people, the General Counsel, Chief of Staff and an attorney from the Department of Aviation have left recently... a mere coincidence?
I think not.

Could it be there possibly, that department of justice could be looking into the massive amounts of billions and federal dollars that are being totally misappropriated? Could it be possible that indictments are forthcoming? We have a new FBI agent in charge in Chicago we have a new United States attorney assistance in Chicago maybe they want to make a name for themselves and put some of these corrupt politicians away and their cruise of criminal acquaintances! I know that I am just thinking out of the box, and it is crazy to think that the federal authorities where actually do something here besides go after police officers who do really nothing wrong but they try to make a name for himself on the back of hard-working police officers.

Every contract at that Airport involves some sort of hocus pocus.

Proof positive is the Home Run Inn at Midway.
My (adult) kids have to warn their out-of-town friends that this chain is not representative of Chicago's great pizza. What an insult to the city!

And all of the aviation security are walking around saying “we’re still the police” and “they are putting Police back on our patches”. That is truly the most laughable thing to come out of the airports.

Washed up and chickenshit weasel Rahm in panic mode is cleaning house Before and just in case some rogue FakeNews gets out.
It’s not only Rahm who has a direct phone line to some in the media.

One doesn’t stroll into O’Hare and apply for a Dep. Commissioner job.
I’d like to see IL Dept of Revenue audit Manzano’s tax return and bank records just for starters.
That would certainly clear up a few issues, hmmm?
It might get the ball rolling for a full scale IRS - DOJ audit for all Airport operations, department by department.
It would make Operation Greylord and Hired Truck look like skimpy clerical errors and pocket change.
Don’t expect any IL Atty General to get involved anytime soon.

Terminal 5 was entirely rehabbed few years ago with a whole new food court, high end restaurants and retail shops nearby.
What they paid and are paying for those concessions could have paid the entire rehab bill by now, yet Taxpayers have seen nothing in return for that money Shortshanks and Rahm have been doling out and continues to shovel into the airport expansions.

Simple audit, take a month or two and take a look at just one years worth of the invoices.

There is an 8 BILLION Dollar commitment to O’Hare Expansion. There are children not yet born who will be involved in crooked contracts and do penitentiary time.

And Eddie the marcher would say “Hippity Jevity I have more questions then I have answers”The only hope we have and I know that it probably will never happen is that the department of justice kicks in the doors of the Department of aviation and City Hall and starts a total forensic audit of the billions and billions of government money that has vanished! With the heads rolling it tells you a storm could be brewing and hopefully it’s a total calamity of a storm that put so many of them away where they belong in prison!

Gee whiz ginger you fired some of the Aviation Police to fit your agenda you change the name of the Aviation Police to fit your agenda, now you’re being thrown out on your ass! The taxpayers paid you over $400,000 per year what a waste of money you have totally decimated the Department of aviation you obviously have no clue what you’re doing so happy to see you go now who is next hopefully it’s all the people you have around you including the girl that runs midway airport she needs to go also totally Change is needed throughout the corrupt department!

Juan is the worst kind of guy, involved with Hispanic politics he had some clout but was arrogant and not real bright. He treated regular people like shit, but kissed ass of those who were'above' him. Funny hearing the Aldermen calling his firing political/ racial! What a joke. He will be working for Tom Dart by Holloween!

I can't seem to find the application for Ginger's job. It's a transparent selection process right.

Hispanic Alderman calling firing racial, But it was not racial when Ginger refused to talk to have talks with the Black Caucus. Juan and Alex steering contracts away from black owned companies. A certain Hispanic Alderman friends get big benefits. Juan and Alex why did the I.G. go through your computers? Did you not know your buddy the Alderman was under Investigation. Now Rahm has to hide these guys before the election, He can't afford to lose the Hispanic vote. Ginger is gone so now the Black Business owners will be happy. Ginger used Juan and Alex as her heavies pushing her (Rahm's) agenda as illegal as could be. All the people that already have resign were smart enough to get out before indictments came down or where told to resign. It just seems Juan and Alex where to stupid to resign. Or where they told "wait to be fired, and file a law suit" by their Alderman buddy?
