Corrupt Groot?

  • Months after a new law took effect banning elected public officials from lobbying Chicago City Hall, Mayor Lori Lightfoot exchanged emails with a lobbyist who would have been barred under the new standards had they been enforced, the Tribune has learned.

    Flossmoor trustee Gyata Kimmons emailed Lightfoot in August on behalf of Unibail‐Rodamco‐Westfield, a real estate company he lobbies City Hall on behalf of tenants at O’Hare International Airport, records show.

    The back-and-forth occurred months after Lightfoot introduced her own plan that would have rolled back part of the city’s lobbying ordinance that prohibited elected officials such as Kimmons from lobbying city officials while keeping his suburban elected post.

One might be forgiven for thinking that Groot put the rules in place to cut down on the competition.....and then ordered the rules unenforced so she'd have a clear shot at whatever it is the lobbyist was offering.

More smoke and mirrors in front of the curtain for the Chicago low information voters sitting in the audience. All the while behind the curtain the dwarf initiates the leftists’ playbook, “Rules For Thee, Not For Me.” Anytime a demoRat says “transparency” on a topic, you can bet that whatever “transparency” is related to will be the exact opposite, “secrecy”.

Why do we even have lobbyists? Totally corrupt and only out for themselves not the general public. Let the politicians do their own homework and research to decide what laws are for EVERYONES benefit not just the lobbyists clients.
Lobbyists are a political scam started by the democrates so they could get something for skewing laws in favor of whoever wants to play.

Why the question mark? Of course she's corrupt. She had to be to get the job, and she has to remain corrupt because that's what Illinois Democrats do. It's all about money and lies, and fucking over the law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.

Do as I say

Not as as I do..............Sounds familiar?

Transparency only when Lightfoot wants it?

Not when her misconduct is revealed, like with Eddie Johnson!

Or when Rham Emmanuel hid the Van Dyke video to get re-elected!

I am so sick of this crap, every mayor has pulled this same stuff and the tax payers pay for it?

When these elected officials do this spouting its for the public good, makes me want to throw up!

The Atlantic has a feature on the quirky world of niche sports.
The parents, the kids, the money, the obsession.
The schedules, the injuries, the heartbreak, the bullshit.
Groot didn't make the article but in a quiet moment of
reflection she admitted her failure in life could be traced to a
moment in time during her high school years. She summed
it up with one word: sports.

Save us all the slow death of the city - LOCK HER UP now.

The article said Larri has known this lobbyist Gyata Kimmons for some time now. Wonder what other deals he finagled with other city elected chairmen over the years, there is also a chap named Gyata SIMMONS who is long ties to ShortShanks Daley Inc and Cook County payrolls.

Another one of those campaign promises, like aldermanic zoning discretion reform takeaways, of Larri’s that went on the wayside.
Wheelin’and dealing ...during these challenging times, when the Airports are running at 75% below capacity for flights. Construction rehab and expansion contract expenditures still being paid out...during these challenging times.

Larri installed her very own Aviation commissioner and the long past ShortShanks deals still went under wraps. And don’t forget indicted Zalweski was Aviation chairman, who’s ties go right back to the Daley Clan. Terminal 5 is looking to be the CookCo of O’Hare terminals, just you watch.
Terminal 5 concessions had been overhauled awhile back during the Rahm Years after Daley’s guy got the ax, going thru a huge remodel of restaurant and retail areas. Lots of hidden deals over in that airport bidness, collecting annual Federal grants and there’s never an audit. Larri’s promise to level the playing field by inclusive community reinvestments, that’s worth another $50 million, even though O’Hare T5 isn’t exactly the community.

Look, here’s the deal...
US Senate on Appropriations will have to oversee an Dem introduced TIFIA Airports Act (like a TIF fund just for airports) to allocate $1.5 Billion financing to fund airport rebuilds (does we need another kiosk, terminal, runway?) and it was sponsored by DuckWorthless (D-IL) she (also is responsible for the $9 Bil O’Hare new terminal and gate deal), and approval would come from Appropriations member Turpin Durban (D-IL) back in July 2020. Well, well, well....so now Larri the budget savant and Kimmons (or is it Simmons) the Democrat lobbyist like Mrs Durban, started immediately exchanging emails for O’Hare deals.
Now ain’t that some coincidental timing, mmmmm-mmm-mmm. O’Hare just keeps on finding ways and means to get that unaudited airports money.

Empty airports and Larri is setting up for the bailouts and comebacks...should Harris-Biden win?

Don’t expect the FakeNews media to hound her on this long entrenched unaudited money pit scandal.

Jelly Belly usually waits until Saturday to slip the "backlog in cases" to inflate the numbers so maybe he will start using it twice a week. Big numbers everyday until Nov 3. No trick or treating kids. Go back to your hobbit holes until I say you can come out. You are all grounded.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Illinois public health officials announced 4,942 new cases of COVID-19, along with 44 additional deaths Thursday.

The number of new cases is the highest one-day jump in cases in illinois since the pandemic began. On September 4, 5,368 new cases were reported, which was the result of a multi-day backlog in cases.
