Wirtz Backs Vallas
- Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz has been complaining for months about Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s decision to raise the city’s amusement tax on large venues to bankroll a break for small theaters. Now, Wirtz is putting his money where his mouth is — by making $200,000 in campaign contributions to mayoral challenger Paul Vallas.
Vallas has been smiling and dialing for weeks in hopes of standing out from the crowded field of mayoral challengers when quarterly fundraising reports are due in two weeks. On Monday, Vallas scored a mini-power play by recording $232,500 in contributions taken in over a five-day period ending on June 29. The fundraising report stood out, not only for being the largest amount Vallas has reported since he launched his mayoral campaign. It also included some heavy-hitters.
They included $50,000 apiece from: Distillers Distributing Co.; Sauk Development and WSports Media LLC. Vallas also reported receiving $25,000 contributions from 35L Sportsmans LLC and Fair Chance Farm, Inc. All of those companies are owned by Wirtz, according to Dean Vallas, the candidate’s brother and campaign manager.
We'd certainly prefer Vallas to be one of the top two vote getters in the current nine-way free-for-all. "Anyone But Rahm" is a great battle cry....until the choice is between the runt and Lightfoot. So it's good to see some of the movers-and-shakers getting behind Vallas.

Vallas can do this. The Wirtz family know a lot of movers and shakers in this town, and it should send a message to others that he can be the one. Outside of his corporate cronies, Rahm has pissed nearly every group in this city off.
ANYBODY BUT RAHM!
ANYBODY BUT RAHM!
ANYBODY BUT RAHM!
Who do we want?
ANYBODY BUT RAHM!
I am voting Vallas
I wish McCarthy got behind Vallas. All he is doing is stealing votes from Vallas and only to get a little pay-back on Raahmmen noodles.
Unfortunately, Mayor Rahm is the lessor of any of the other evils. Only Rahm has the power to keep the lid on this pressure cooker that is Chicago. Without his strong hand at the controls, this city will explode.
😃
Everybody, including Rahm, hate the police and won't find pensions. Except Vallas. Remember that. Now tell all your friends.
You do realize that Vallas was that thieving motherfucker Daley’s finance director and head of Daley’s failed CPS, right?
Lori Lightfoot for the win!!
Go get 'em Rocky!
Always liked Wirtz. He knows how to support winning!
Hey Kevin fraternal order of police president let’s take a leap of faith and go with Vallas, you better not think about going with the current mayor are going with Gary who is just a political ploy who is put up there by Ron without a doubt go at Vallas supports the police as police and his family when he was here as head of the Chicago public school system some police officers help them out as drivers and every last one of them said what a great guy he was nice to work for any is definitely Pro police.
And maybe Vallas will help turn around the bloodshed and the Democratic morons that are elected besides him will notice that people are tired of their stupidity and God willing they will keep the criminals in jail where they belong let’s take a leap of faith let’s do this hello FOP anything to say or are you still silent? If you stay with the current mayor you know he’s going to gut The next contract without any doubt, because the current mayor panders to the thugs and illegals Time to right the ship let’s go at Vallas!
It's been said that Vallas is the only one who can beat Rahm. Vallas has my vote. For those of you pushing McCarthy, remember he is part of the reason CPD is where it's at. He helped in its destruction.
Your choices in rank order are Vallas, The Bronx Ball Bag, and Emanuel. Anyone else means destruction of your property values and pension.
Vallas 'may' be our only hope to chose from in the upcoming mayoral election.
Lori Lightfoot is getting a lot of backing from community organizations and black churches. She will likely be in the top two vote getters.

Hi Adam, Pete, Rahm. Stop trying to make Vallas into something he’s not: a lying thieving asshole like you three.
For decades, Vallas has been a documented, proven reformer and an utmost gentleman without the foul mouthing showboat theatrics.
Unlike activists Rotten Rahm and Cranky Prickwanker, whom both have taken the city and county deeper into debt, corruption and violent crime.
We will see how well GMac pans out in before the latter part of the year.
Wilson knows he’s just burning his money.
The other fringe radical candidates will be rewarded to drop out.
Loonie Lightloafers looking for the dropouts and Cook Co judges to gain some late year favorability.
Rahm hasn’t heard diddly and waits to see who Prickwrinkle will endorse...
(hint; it won’t be an old white male).
Keep in mind folks -
The FakeNews Media isn’t making a fuss but...
All Aldermanic campaigns/races are extremely quiet right now, except perhaps only making some local neighbor newspapers.
The 48 Rahm Sock Puppets are all pushing for Sanctuary and the continual lawlessness.
All Wards are up for re-election in Feb 2019.

Yeah Rahm nobody is going for that shit! Take that strong hand an play with your asshole
rahms entertainment tax is coming back to kick his ass!!!
thanks rocky!!!
Above is another comment from little Adam Collins scum followers saying Rahm is the only one who can stop Chicago from exploding. Chicago is exploding because Rahm is doing nothing with crime but allowing the feral predators to keep committing crimes so Rahm can be elected. Maybe this is another of the new scare tactics pushed by the Rahm controlled media that only mayor pay to play can keep Chicago safe. Rahm must be stopped by any means necessary.
Vaneckos back in action with a Vallas win.
The Wirtz family has had it made for a long time, funny how fast they turn. Boo boo. Now you get to see the next generation of corruption getting in line for the next guy. It’s all business as usual
Rahm has alienated and pissed off everyone yet I think I saw a poll that stated he still had a small lead over Vallas?? The "devil you know is better than the devil you don't know" doesn't apply here. Mayor Emmanual is destroying this city and needs to go.
He has my vote. Rahm is a loser and has to go
Anybody but all of the candidates/ it's like do u want to be hit in the left arm with a 2 by 4 or the leg with a 4 by 4 or hit in the head with a fast thrown rock... U get the picture- we r in for some serious pain no matter who wins
He’s a Daley left over. I’m sure our pension is the first thing on his list of things to do. Get real. I think the city and our pension is doomed no matter who gets in. It’s every man for himself and it’s been festering for so long it can’t be changed. Thank you Daleys and that POS rostenkowski.

Most fortuitously, your desperate plea for the acknowedgement of your blog presence has been heard, albeit just barely, squeaky mouse fart that it be.
Give yourself a butt licking.
(What, you thought you'd earned so much more than permission to self serve your proclivities?)

You do realize that your comment drips with the bubbling effervescence of the slimy surface skin on a bucket of stale, molding, putrifying cheap beer, left out in the simmering shade of a long dead bush, made dead by the pile of rotting, toxic garbage dumped next to it, don't you?
Well, don't you?
(Maybe not, since you're a democrat......)
Rahm put up McCarthy and Lightfoot to siphon anti-Rahm votes from Paul Vallas.
FOP Get on this train we need Vallas,also please Kevin push yourself from the buffet line for your own good brother! Vallas is pro-police and has family on departments he understands what we go through everyday! Hopefully as soon as Vallas wins first termination is Eddie and his cruisers, start over when Leo shows this Saturday "testicular fortitude" and shows flaky what happens when you disobey law and order and locks many of the assholes up, Leo would be a great refreshing boss! Ed you and the rest are going to school Saturday learn a lesson boss!
They all steal, the question is who hates us the least?
i hope vallas will for us non clouted cpd we might have a chance for a more fairer promotional system
Vallas had a balanced budget and CPS wasn't failing when he was in charge. Get your facts straight sonny boy, a lot is at state.
Vallas was doing well in the schools. Daley got scared/jealous of his progress.
Rahm must go. The others including Mac, who helped ruin CPD, are probably being funded by Rahm or his backers.
All get behind Vallas.
And maybe Vallas will help turn around the bloodshed and the Democratic morons that are elected besides him will notice that people are tired of their stupidity and God willing they will keep the criminals in jail where they belong let’s take a leap of faith let’s do this hello FOP anything to say or are you still silent? If you stay with the current mayor you know he’s going to gut The next contract without any doubt, because the current mayor panders to the thugs and illegals Time to right the ship let’s go at Vallas!

How is Vallas going to turn around the bloodshed? Answer, he’s not. Answer sure isn’t manpower. Only thing more po’s will do is make it easier for us to get time off. They have already cancelled DO’s, had an additional 1,300 po’s on the street at various time to stop crime on various weekends and it didn’t change anything. Academy’s been spitting out troops for at least the last 6 months , nothing has changed. VRI,
Emanuel is the WORST possible choice. Can’t control crime. Hates city retirees. Invests only to benefit the 1% people.
I would vote for a wet bag of shit before I would vote for Rahm.
And didn't deangelo say our pension was secure because of that new casino that never got built? Yes he did because I have his email to me in which he states exactly that from when he was fop prez

You are going to get the opportunity this election. There are a few of them running
You are soft if you think any mayor can control crime. They have added, technology , additional police, more community involvement and nothing works. Guess the new mayor has the silver bullet. Enlighten us on how he will control crime
According to the Politico daily email, GMC is in second in a poll that includes all the announced candidates. Unfortunately, when head to head, Tiny Dancer wins over each one by varying amounts.

What the fuck are you smoking? If the mayor really gave a shit he would back his Police and put people in charge that actually know what to do, like real Policemen! Ask the U.S. Attorney General for assistance to go after the gangs and anyone that supports them. Impeach the state’s attorney and any judge that refuses to do their job. Go after the entire county government. They are ripe for investigations of their policies that actually make the people in the county less safe! I’m sure there are more answers but you already have them....not.
my vote is going to vallas
rahm has to go, cya , bye bye, don't forget the dress
Lightfoot will prevail.

What’s is he smoking? What world are you living in? Impeach the ASA and any judge who isn’t doing his job. Impeach a judge and ASA. has that ever happened no and it never will. Who decides if he’s doing his job? New policies? There are new policies every week and none work. Go after the entire county government. Who’s going to do that? That’s a real specific solution. You talk nonsense. Why not just suggest criminals stop committing crimes.
.....Why not just suggest criminals stop committing crimes.

Funny.
You real funny guy.
I kill you last.
Here's some funny for you:
How about the politicians stop committing crimes? You know, the democrats.
Plus the reprobate republicans.
Plus every last pustulant, political posturing, puke faced fucks, who pander, propagandize, promote, pontificate profusely their pestulence of prevarications, pushing the pinhead brained populace to piss and poop all over themselves and spread their excretions thoroughly hither, thither and yon, (yeah, that means they ARE coming to get you, Barbara....), all these criminal, blatant examples of malfeasance of public office, how about these fucks stop committing the crimes they commit?
How about your funny guy, I kill you last, attitude of feeble submission?
MAGA ain't an entitlement.
MAGA ain't a free benefit.
MAGA ain't a birthright, inherited and bestowed upon thee, by some magical, mysterious MAGA Tinker Bell.
MAGA, you have to earn it.
MAGA you have to make it be.
MAGA you cannot have crawling on your belly.
MAGA is not done FOR you, by someone NOT you.
MAGA is NOT the democrats, nor the reprobate republicans, nor any other self labeled, full of shit, political bowel movement.
So as not the provide you with the baby food you prefer to feed on, I shall not specify what MAGA is; do your own work if you seek to know.
