Police Board President

To get clouted into certain Department positions, you have to pass a rudimentary financial background check, purportedly to make sure you aren't susceptible to bribery. Clout can get you around it of course, but you'd think someone in an actual position of responsibility might have a bit stricter check done on them:
  • Ghian Foreman is Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s handpicked Police Board president and a prominent Chicago real estate developer. In 2005, he borrowed $50,000 from Karyn Usher’s mother to help finance a Bronzeville condominium project. The units sold but the Usher family has waited 13 years to be paid.

    “He owes this money and I want him to pay this money,” Usher says.

    Usher says her family was close with Foreman’s, the reason her then 73-year-old mother, Ann Marie Usher, entered into a legal limited partnership and loaned Foreman the money. “Mother had known them all her life and so she, of course, wanted to help Ghian,” Usher says.

    Foreman rehabbed the four condos and sold three for a total of more than $1 million. By 2007, he owned the fourth and final unit free and clear. Usher’s attorney says Foreman could’ve paid off the debt. “There were proceeds from these sales,” says Phyllis Price. “[But} Ms. Usher got not a dime.”
Mrs. Usher died some time ago without receiving any of the loan repaid. Her estate isn't happy and we have to say that someone with that sort of outstanding debt is definitely susceptible to all sorts of outside pressure.

This guy should have been vetted with testing such as, a psychological, urine, hair, lie box, credit rating and a complete background. A $50K judgement might have kept him off the board. Or, 9.5 already knows the guy is no good, but 9.5 doesn't care. The latter is the most likely answer. One pos hiring another pos. Birds of a feather as they say.

WTF. There are jobs that when you apply if you have bad credit access immediately denied. No wonder many people work for the government .

A questionable real estate deal involving the Police Board President? I’m shocked! Next thing you know someone is going to try to sell the tollway, or parking meters.

Talk about the odd couple. Mia Sissac, Foreman's girlfriend, had a high position(no pun intended) at COPA until she refused a drug test awhile ago. I wonder if she's still employed by COPA. My guess is she is.

The question is if he as police board chairman, made any ruling against any CPD member where the CPD member was accused of not paying water bill or city sticker allegations?

Even if the cpd member was charged with conduct unbecoming would be in question.

And should the victims family file with the goofy IG and place allegation of conduct unbecoming or fraud on this Board member?

Just another great pick by Rham to run the city.......

How many is this so far?

Rahm is a great judge of character. Just look at his track record.
Rahm does whatever the hell he wants and doesn’t let anything get in his way.

How dare you insult bums, moochers, cheats, ingrates, grifters, knee-capping candidates, frauds, and sneak thieves like that? (Don't groan. At least 50% of you thought this too.)

Never “loan” money to anyone. It will always end badly.

One ol' boy got shot by his mother for cheatin'
at the card table...

Just sittin' there with a hole in his neck and
starin' at nothin' in particular.

Cards and other miscellaneous scattered all over
but you can best believe that no sooner did momma
upped with that ol' raggedy "Owl-Head" and busted
yonder cap, every penny on the table miraculously
disappeared...

Oh yeah... Hold on a sec... Almost forgot...

"Tha' Poleece is tha' problem in our communerty!"

It's time for "reform."

No?

Take a step back mutha fluster, that's soon-to-be Mayor Loriman Lightfoot to you! You think 9.5 is bad? Just wait. I'm going to whip some shit on you guys and gals that will cause you to make "fetal" the highest level of proactive policing! Bend over and pull apart those cheeks! And, when Eric Holder becomes President, the hurting is going to high gear! I will be the U.S. Attorney General and BLM will have an office adjacent to mine with a secret, connecting doorway! Welcome to the end of the United States of America (USA). It will be the United States of the Socialist Utopia (USSU). I cannot wait! Also, remember, there is no GOD!

The last poster has a valid point. Every police board member and wanna be " community" overseer of the police ought to be forced to submit deconfliction reports, and be subjected to ethics statements, credit checks, psych and criminal background screens.
