Most Corrupt
- The Chicago metropolitan area was ranked as the most corrupt U.S. city in a new report from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Along with Chicago, Los Angeles topped the list of the most public corruption convictions in America, based on the number of federal corruption convictions between 1976 and 2017. Chicago had 1,731 convictions during that time period, while the Central District of California had 1,534. The Manhattan area had 1,327 and Miami had 1,165, according to the report. Washington, D.C. had 1,159.
Drawing information from the Department of Justice, the report shows 25 public figures were convicted of charges tied to corruption in 2017 in the City of Chicago and the northern third of Illinois. 2017 was the most recent year for which the DOJ data was available, the report says.
Anyone ever mention "rebuilding trust between politicians and the public"? Rahm did nothing to discourage corruption and in fact, fostered quite a bit more. And none of hte 14 candidates for mayor have made any concrete plans to reduce corruption either.

Don't forget about the code of silence with local democRATS. Hypocrats!
Chicago, a city by criminals for criminals.
Read the officer killed summaries on the computer. It has always been this way.
No justice for the righteous.
Wicked city indeed.
I don’t think most people who live here need a report to realize something’s wrong!
Besides corruption, a LOT of neighborhood crimes committed.
Check this out. A well-engineered solution for those thieves stealing packages off porches.

We’re #1, we’re #1!!!! Woohoo!!!!
Time to cut the city counsel by two thirds less Alderman!
I get a better response for city services by calling 311, then by calling my local Alder-creature!
There are at least three compelling needs to minimize political corruption in Chicago (and Cook County).
(1) Excluding Chicago and based on the 2010 decennial U.S. Census of the nation's ten most populous cities and the size of their respective city councils, a per capita analysis disclosed that Chicago should have no more than SEVENTEEN (17) wards/alder(wo)men. All wards must be of equal population. With Chicago's out migration of population, it's entirely possible that come the 2020 decennial U.S. Census count, Houston may well surpass Chicago as the third most populous U.S. city. This could result in an appropriate adjustment to only FIFTEEN (15) wards of equal population for Chicago.
(2) No elected officials in Chicago, Cook County and Illinois should serve more than two consecutive terms in office. TERM LIMITS.
(3). A RECALL REFERENDUM mechanism must be implemented so that the electorate can remove elected officials from office for just cause, incompetence, et cetera.
Also, note that local mainstream media (MSM) ignores investigational coverage of the three reforms cited above. Corruption is so deeply entrenched in THE MOST POLITICALLY CORRUPT CITY IN THE NATION that one could rationally conclude that City Hall controls the MSM.
I think we need a consent decree for the mayor and city council! And throw in some body cams for good measure!
You dont make plans to end corruption if you are corrupt yourself. Just count on more of the same. Hopefully with a prayer and a wish the current wire tapping will snag a few big fish. We can hope.
Wait Wait… I cant believe it
I was only conducting a study to babysit my kid with CPD
They are all poison from the same bacteria, namely the Democrat Virus and it is spreading into a pandemic. Run before it infects you.
Another f- for rahmbo. His hand picked cps chief is sitting in prison. His chief financial officer from ohio ended up a fugitive. Do we have to get into his choices for superintendent of the police department. The icing on the cake is the bevy of alderman who think that the city of chicago was their own little piggy bank. Either he was part of it or he was to dumb to see it.
Thats because "police" are the problem...perhaps alderman should be wearing a camera too, cut back on alderman seats, (we sure as hell dont need 50) and also cut back on their perks which is costing us big time...lets start with them when it comes to "saving" the city money! Amazing how everyone is so concerned about police but dont see the real problem is city hall. What a joke. Transparency starts at the top.
And Lisa-kins never prosecuted a corrupt politician. Expect for of the same from Kwame.
Jerry Joyce wants to implement term limits for executive offices, including aldermen. Also supports a wholly elected school board, not the corrupt apparatus as it is now.

There is managing criminals.
There is mismanaging criminals.
Then, there is chitown/crook county politics.
The first kinda worked, sorta, during the richard j. era.
The second kicked in after, now running at full speed to the cliff.
The third, having been adequately managed, now full blown mismanaged and embraced, enboldened and exploited, is the crux of the city/county with no pity, only the pitiful and the self pitiful.
Thus, the pit awaits.
And the pit has infinite space for all.
When Barry Obama was organizing Chicago he obviously missed a few spots.
The feds really are starting to open the crevice, which is becoming a crack and will soon become a canyon encompassing so many alderman, crook county members, the mayor the clerk, treasurer and the state house. Wires work and they have no clue who is wired up, the feds we all thought were asleep but they were hibernating and listening and now the bear is hungry hope they scoop up many more and overflow 219 S. dearborn with the elected criminals who have caused so much plan, havoc, mayhem and murder with their orders to keep out of prison the felons!
CPD supports the federal authorities the FBI and U.S. attorney in their efforts thank you and "round them up and take them out!"
Hey Toni Prickwinkle, why don't you ever talk about your "code of silence". I think we need to put forward a consent decree the politician's of Illinois must follow. AND, we don't let them have a say in the decree's process.
When liberal media reports what we all know it must be completely falling into the abyss. The most corrupt hope President Trump sends hundreds more agents to drain the dirty swamps here that are so filthy it will take massive amounts of cleansing.
Get them FBI:

Slime ball POS!
There is no such things as Democrats anymore, only Progressives, and Progressives don't build or create, they take over or destroy. Hell our Governor tried to buy a Senate seat on tape and now he gonna raise taxes on the rich knowing that the rich will hire lawyers and remove toilets not to pay taxes, just like him. They will destroy the families of those who stand against them. Chicago perfected it now the nation is doing it.
Look at all the THIEVES who keep getting elected every time in Chicago. Why do people vote for these THIEVES ??????
We would have been better off if Al Capone had won his war.
If federal oversight is good enough for the police, what about these jerk-offs???
Just sayin...........
Woo-Hoo! Yippee! Way To Go Democrats! You did it, the most Corrupt City in the Nation!
Oh??... wait a sec???... that's not a good thing, now is it? Oh well, at least the city's first in something. (rotfl)
Lisa Madigan!
sadly, the feds could have arrested and convicted hundreds or maybe even thousands of city employees and politicians on corruption charges and barely scratched the surface.
And Daley caused it and the stupid idiotic people in this city will elect his brother. Even after fixing a murder, the idiot dummycrat morons still vote for Daley, the Rahm candidate.
Rahm knew it and allowed it all with the help of his phony inspector general joe Ferguson.

I watched the video. This was great! This guy has unique skills that law enforcement could use.
You need a liberal buzz word for corruption... like personal financial enhancement
Lets get rid of their discretionary fund that is at their disposal. if they want to spend money in their ward, they should put out a proposal why they need the money. if it is warranted then they get the funds. but of course it would be it determined by the council, so business as usual. But i can dream.
Corruption? What corruption?
I’m shocked.
Open and notorious, remember, Rahm handing out $500,000 in donation checks to a set of Alderthieves last October right after he said he won’t run again.
How’s that for a Green New Deal.
Follow the money on which Alderthief voted for any recent expensive project.
California just dumped its high speed train project after 10 years of delays and overspending billions.
Elon MuskRat still has a chance to get his pissbum tunnel to Ohare before Rahm leaves.
Rahm’s favorite AldertThieves granted him $4 billion down payment for a $9 billion O’Hare terminal expansion last year, and that’s on top of the already so far $9 billion runway shuffle.
How do you think will they’ll vote when he wants to push thru MuskRat Tunnel Deal and how soon will it be?
If it’s anything like the Chicago Cook County MWRD Deep Tunnel/ TARP Project, I need not say more.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the FBI raided City Hall/Cook County right after the Primary.
Oh, and at least Lower Wacker is safer now that a bottle of hot sauce was recovered.
Yeah it's corrupt , when you see all the bosses with criminal ties and scandals it makes you think WTF ? Most of these idiots would never get hired in the real world !
reducing corruption in Chicago would be a good trick, but really, really hard to accomplish. the whole city is based on paying off people, one way or the other, public and private sectors.
Keep raising taxes Illinois. Take it up your ass.
And that's only based on someone getting caught!
The Daley-Emanuel death spiral continues.
what ever happened to potato head and his crusade for term limits?
But compared to Tiajuana, Havana , and Zimbabwe we’re doing quite well.
Hey ramie we're number one!
Former Chicago resident living in California. California is just as corrupt as Chicago, the difference is, people are not so open and in your face about it. It is something that folks try to keep under the rug. In Chicago, it is something folks brag about.
Speaking of the Rahm-hole, hows come that jagoff can't even stick some blacktop into those four-foot potholes on Central Avenue north of Montrose??? The jagoff has red light cams up the ass (ours!) but can't/won't spend a fucking quarter on some cheap asphalt for a few giant chuck holes????? The City that works??? What asshole came up with THAT slogan? What a joke!!!
Bet all you Democratic voters are proud now. Numero unto it doesn't get any better then that. Keep up the good work that cliff is getting much closer.
