First Seat on the Bus

  • Former state Rep. Luis Arroyo appears to be preparing to plead guilty in his federal corruption case, a new court record indicates.

    Federal prosecutors filed a charging document Friday known as an information against Arroyo that repeated allegations first made against him in October. The filing is significant because an information typically means a defendant plans to plead guilty.

    If Arroyo does enter such a plea, it would be the first conviction secured against an elected official as a result of the feds’ multiple public corruption investigations that became known with the November 2018 raid of Ald. Edward M. Burke’s office.
So who gets the second seat? Because the sentencing starts getting measured in years rather than months at some point. And these are not young men by any stretch - who wants to die behind bars?

OT: Bob Sirott is a asshole. When he lived in 014 he was nothing but a pain in the ass. His on camera persona of Mr cool and laid back is farthest from the truth.

I saw Burke in lake Geneva shortly before the new year. Asshole was actually doing his own shopping in the Walmart and drove himself, albeit in a phony squad car. Didn't know the prick had a drivers license as I've never seen him operating a motor vehicle.

Taking the plea and keeping his mouth shut because his family is being taken care of. Nothing to see here.

So you raise the tuition then you cut the tuition for more than half the families in Illinois that are eligible;

With U of I tuition rising, Pritzker strikes deal so more low-income students can attend tuition-free

JB never misses a meal he is a billionaire many times over never worked a day in his life his family gave them everything maybe he could use some of that money and donate it to the schools into the poor he doesn’t need it nope the middle class people again and again and get hit and hit more and more money take it from us. As a matter fact just got my license plates sticker yesterday $151 for a small compact vehicle in this rip off State.

Sandoval and all these suburban mayors that took money from Nikki Zollar and her red light camera company. The State should outlaw all of those cameras. Put your efforts into nothing but speed cameras and cameras on the expressways and tollways.Madigan and Burke are both Prison bound next year. Arroyo will be another Opera singer who will be like Solis. All bad asses as politicians until they get caught.

New DOJ in town and a Northern District Judge too.
Oh yeah, Elections have consequences.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find out how tangled up everything got when it’s exposed how a shady crank Section8’Arena’s greedy tendencies led to all this with is 4900 W Irving Park developer deal?
The ill mannered angry dolt, super sharp know-it-all former assistant to a Federal prosecutor sure picked a winner and ain’t no buy tells he what to do and nobody is man enough to ask her.

Imagine if Hillary won and Shortshanks 3.0 was mayor.

The first seat on the bus is often the best seat, but the last seat isn't necessarily the worst. Especially if one is up there in years, has some health concerns, and is drawing a sweet salary or pension. In this case, waiting em out is often an effective strategy. If I was 75 or so I would wait em out

Jimmy Dvorak former under sherrif took the plea and kept his mouth shut and his wife ended up with a nice job at the Illinois Secretary of State. They take care of their own.

Laurino was the first to retire. I got $5 says either she will be on that bus, or she sang so sweet she gets a pass. Arena will not be so lucky. Anybody hear about any ancillary anuses being sat and sung? I know they are told to keep their mouth shut but at some point the crew will get a sense that maybe the weight loss isn't from Adkins. Everybody thought Rahm would live forever, and now he has fallen off the face of the earth. Ever since his kid discovered street drug purchase some kind of strange silence was born. Later I learn the Osendaro brothers live 2 blocks away, and, are on record providing this and that too Jussie, could it all be connected? Just search "scattered 4138"

Burke has a license as he appeared at the drivers license facility in Bridgeview in November with his bodyguard driving a city vehicle. Bypassed all the lines and had the security guard with him standing by his vehicle waiting for the examiner to come out and take him for his road test.

Afraid dominos falling is just a pipe dream. Nice to think about but not in our life tomes. That Chicago Way is ingrained in the entire justice system in City and Cook County. Will serve his time at Club Fed and the corruption and Crimes the Democratic Machine controls continue unabated. But the one thing for certain is that you will continue to elect all Democratic candidates on your ballots. 90+ years of Democratic rile going on 150 years. The only possible roadblock would be city and state Bankruptcy.

The alderman IS a part time job, which they get paid $115,000.00 per year plus expense account plus all the money they can steal. Four rules for politicians:
1. Term limits. One done no more office holding.
2. No pension. You wont be in office long enough to collect it. Put into SS or 401k
3. If a political office becomes vacant. Election. No appointments!
4. No public building, park or any public facility named after an elected official or
their family member. Anything they did they did with taxpayer money. Name it after
a first responder killed in line of duty or a military veteran.

Arroyo Sr.'s son Cook County Commissioner Luis A. Arroyo Jr.'s mess with the fixing of the handicap parking ticket in the Forest Preserves has seemed to go away.

At the present, nobody has paid the $250 ticket issued to 36th Ward Superintendent  Luis Pena.

Pena was unloading goodie bags, Moledo, hot dogs, and the Trump pinata when he was ticketed near the 36th Ward's annual picnic in Schiller Woods. The picnic was hosted by 36th Ward Alderman/City Counsel Floor Leader Gilberto Villegas.

Wait until Sandoval starts singing about the no-bid concrete contracts at the Midway Airport Project. 100's of Millions in construction costs ripe for the picking. Look for Marty Quinn to take one for the team before it is over.

Keep going. You forgot to mention that the Forest Cop that wrote the ticket had a history of targeting Latinos. The County made the ticket go away because the Forest Preserve Police couldn't handle the bad press that would come.

You must be a 38th Ward Koolaid drinker to hate on Pena.
