He Needs the Money

The Slum Times asking the important question:

  • Elected city officials are slated to receive a 4.1% raise next year, though Mayor Brandon Johnson has so far declined to say whether he plans to take the pay bump as the city stares down a nearly $1 billion budget gap.

    A spokesman for Johnson said he has “nothing to share at this time.” Spokespersons for City Clerk Anna Valencia and City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin did not respond to requests for comment on whether they’re taking the raise, as they did last year. The raise is tied to the rate of inflation, and each year city officials are given the opportunity to opt out of the automatic increase.

    At least two City Council members — progressive Alds. Byron Sigcho-Lopez and Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez — told WBEZ they are foregoing the raise. They were the lone alderpersons to decline it last year.

After all, Conehead has (had?) overdue water bills not too long ago, and someone has to pay all those red light camera tickets his motorcade racks up. And lord knows maintaining two residences (city and suburbs) can get expensive....and maybe two families.

That would set a bad example for the CTU.
Nope, he is going to take it all!

I am still angry and pissed that Alderman Hopkins said we were incompetent and did a horrible job with the Mexican Independence Day disturbances.

Alderman Hopkins had zero kind words to say about us. We had our days off cancelled and we worked 12 hours for three straight days.

If there is a hiring freeze, why is the city still posting jobs?

Does Conehead want a kick back from the walk-in talkie on a stick company? Is he a baby daddy? Does he have two homes? Inquiring minds want to know. Any body have his attendance records as a school teacher?

Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs pleaded not guilty Tuesday to sex trafficking charges, and a judge denied him bail as he was taken into custody to await trial in an explosive case against one of music's most influential figures.

Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct” for decades, according to the unsealed indictment that led to his Sept. 16 arrest on three felony counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
No victims were identified in the 14-page document, but the March 2016 incident in which Combs — also known as “Diddy” and “Puff Daddy” — was captured on surveillance video hitting, kicking and throwing a vase at then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel was referenced. It’s alleged that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder attempted to bribe a member of hotel security who intervened to ensure silence.

numerous politicians from both the 11th n 19th wards on the freak off party list

“We’re short so many officers. Overtime isn’t going anywhere," he explained. "The department will just need officers to volunteer to do it.”
