Gee, Really?
- Two fresh hires at City Hall will help steer Chicago through the most momentous legal issue the city has faced in decades: reforming the Chicago Police Department.
Tyeesha Dixon and Katie Hill this summer joined Chicago's 280-attorney Law Department. Hill, 39, who most recently was policy director for Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, will hold the department's No. 2 job and report directly to Corporation Counsel Ed Siskel.
Hill, who oversees all 15 of the department's divisions, has dealt with criminal justice issues for much of her career, including as a litigator at Loevy and Loevy, a plaintiffs firm that rose to prominence winning multimillion-dollar verdicts against the city for police misconduct.
Dixon, 33, is taking on a newly created role as deputy corporation counsel for public safety reform. She previously was a senior associate at Washington, D.C., law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, on the team of lawyers representing the city during the U.S. Justice Department's probe of its policing practices.
A bottom-feeding Loevy graduate and another bottom feeder who negotiated with Sparklefarts' DOJ. We can hardly wait!

Why leave a multi-million dollar law firm to work at a city job for a ton less money? Unless it's a liaison position. The corruption continues.
Is there a room somewhere with a chart in city hall that has a list of ways to screw up the city, raise the crime rate, and generally screw every taxpayer!!!
It seems that way but I am sure all these moves are for the good of the children, I just can't figure out which children!!!
Too young way over their heads both have a puppet master.
Restorative justice = restoring felons to full criminal street life
Will they get a merit pick on the next round of promotions? It wouldn't surprise me if they do.
Reform, where can I gets me some of that reform?
They’d better hope Commdr MB doesn’t write a book when he retires.
Is UPS hiring?
I'm guessing the law firms were thrilled to get rid of these two. Why didn't the media list how much they made for the firms litigating cases? Or what their specific accomplishments were.
Good God..Can we please speed up the Mayoral election already..get this asshole out already!
She will be feeding cases to her old firm. Why would any cop trust her?
Anyone who goes out of their way for a City that hates the police, is a fool.
A clueless snowflake and a Foxx radical. What could go wrong?
So if Lovey has an alumn in City Hall, that mean they can no longer get multi million dollar settlements, right? Would that violate some IG rules?
Rham and the other socialist democrates are just one election away from putting the finishing touches on Chicago and completely hand it over to society’s dregs and lowlife democrates as we pick up the tab. The FOP better get their political action team in gear and start backing people on their past performance not future promises.
The sergeant and Lieutenants PBPA needs to come alive too. The current President seems to be a bigger looser that the last one. If I were still working I would quit the union and save the dues.
I love the last sentence of the article: ultimately any reform is up to the police. A convenient “out”, so when they don’t get the results they want they can just blame the police anyway.
Experts who will oversee the implementation of the consent decree. Has either one of these qualified individuals ever had their ass in a squad car or made a physical arrest. offenders are not victim's of a crime. They are victim's of their own stupidity and ignorance.

Reformation requires the initial deformation of the current state of incarnation.
Said deformation followed by adjustments deemed elegant, resulting in a reformation becoming the future, thus current, incarnation.
From assembly to disassembly.
From construction to deconstruction.
From put together to taken apart.
The Design abides no thing lasting in perpetuity.
All things must be and proceed to be not.
The Design: Epic Circle of Jerks.
Intent defines Purpose.
Purpose determines Chosen Actions.
Individual defines Intent.
Thus, Nature of Individual = Intent + Purpose + Chosen Actions.
Equation Simplified: Ya do the best ya can, with what ya got, what else can ya do?
I'm sure she won't every talk to anybody at Lovey and Lovey about any ongoing investigations. After all, she's a lawyer.

Were law enforcement officer individual discretion to be effectively and substantially reliable, the equation would modify to:
Restorative justice = restoring violent criminals to pre-conception condition.
As it is, Shoot & Scoot just does not quite inspire this equational modification.
Vegas odds are not to be trusted.
COPAcabana is nothing more than a conduit for money to flow from city coffers into the hands of the connected.
280 lawyers sucking $$$ out of chicago for doing zero
Chicago dying a not so slow death. Preckwinkle, Kwame, Pritzker, Foxx, Dart, Durbin, special Ed. Throw in Pfleger , Cupich and their ilk and how can one stay in this crime ridden , once great city? At least we don’t have to look at the ghoulish looking ballerina anymore.
Did Prickwrinkle tell rahm to hire them for her? They will be in place, when she takes over.
these two cuties are perfect for rahms revenge.
i can't be mayor of chicago? fuck you twice.
I literally cannot go anymore limp & fetal than I already am on the streets, but this may take me to new levels. Put Preckwinkle in charge of the entire circus and I’m putting my house up for sale with one foot out the door, waiting to hit my 20 and sprint far away. The pendulum may never swing back, probably already too late.
This is just an open-faced shit sandwich steering more money to a law firm that makes their money suing us and the city without having to supply any record of billable hours. Its a money-laundering scheme and the city corp's counsel is in on it.
radical, country-destroying liberals - hurray!!!!
What exactly does “hold the Department’s No. 2 job mean”?
Nice spots! They will be able to funnel the "meaty" cases to the corrupt law firm,s in return, of course, for a nice "tip"
Wave back and drive on or blast the siren, I can't hear you.
why would anybody want this job today , the city and state are completely gone. Only California is worse and this city is trying its best to catch them
Preckwinkle is already lining up a team at the second tier in city hall.
It's a masterful move. And masterful timing too. She'll benefit hugely no matter what happens in the JVD trial.
Sweept out Madigan early. (I watched TP shamelessly promote Foxxx for a long while before that election.) Keep Dart on the sidelines for now, undoubtedly with many promises of 'things to come'.
50/50 that the Berrios clan is talking about moving off of their street corner in the Assessor's office. Then JB 'can focus on moving all of Cook County forward in his role as Chairman of the Democratic Party'. At least he'll have a money platform in that job, out from under TPs armpit. (Good god I can't believe I wrote that. Ugggghhhh)
Watch now as the north side liberal aldertwits prepare to get their wings clipped. All the fighting there will be about getting the least damage, not the most new territory / $$.
Boys and girls, this will be ruthless machine maneuvering at its best.
Gonna make the lovely and delicate Jane Byrne look like Elly May Clampett.
Here's my first choice for a bumper sticker:
Preckwinkle for Mayor?
-- Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue --
'splain what these 280 ahs are doing
For those wondering if the worst could be true - suggest looking in to the 'Projects' both of these (very smart and very accomplished) political operatives are associated with. One viewpoint only. No balance. No regular / normal / middle of the road strains of thought represented.
I'm not saying that the city shouldn't ever get sued. Or that cops are always right.
That's an advocacy- based system.
But, in roles like these balance is required .... if the goal is to create effective governance.
Balance just isn't on these cards. SJW only.

I'm hearing that some of the corp counsels longstanding corrupt antics will finally be outed. Chickens coming home to roost. Steve Patton's resignation, and those of his upper echelon will not be able to stop what's coming. About time.
Hope the feds follow the money trail between Loevy Loevy, The Corp counsel, and some private law firms representing both the city and plaintiffs.
Corrupt bastards.
Maybe those scions of a corrupt legal system can focus some of those restorative rights on the antics of former 007th District Commander KJ, recently and rapidly removed from his employment regarding an investigation into the " alleged "pilfering of ten years worth of social security benefits from his dead mother.
I attended today's retirement seminar and when someone brought up social security benefits, I immediately wondered-and inquired if KJ would be eligible for his SS payments.
Short answer-yes.
We are DOOMED.
WHAT A FUCKIN JOKE , Yeah We heard the City has been looking for NEW LAWYERS ,, They keep coming up on the Hiring Website , all the ones that were there JUMPED SHIP LMAO

Not a lot of money by the time they reduce it by 60%. Also because of our pension we lose 100% of the spousal annuity. Not talked about a lot, but can be close to $1000 a month lost. My spouse collects about $1950 a month and I’m supposed to be able to collect an additional half of that almost $1000 a month as a spousal annuity but because of Rostenkowski bill I get ZERO
