Wow. All you had to do was copy and paste the login and password to vote. It took about 20 seconds. It was in company email.
Pathetic.
All these young people want is the new Dodge or some other ghetto bullshit.
Rose Giambalvo is still on the job? She's nuts.
I never received a ballot!
Congratulations Tom.
Pretty f**kin pathetic to say the least !
FU tom.
The Patrolmen should realize that some day they WILL retire and their apathy today might come back and bite them in the ass!
It was my first time voting for the pension board. None of the candidates reached out to me in any way, shape, or form. No mailer, no email, no text message…nothing. I only received the ballot (which I filled out and sent in). I honestly have no idea who any of them are (as people)
ok,,,,, now let's see if the pension board will be transparent and forthcoming with any and all information about its finances........... (crickets)
Speaking of elections I can’t believe over 500 thousand people voted for Kennedy. The guy wasn’t even running anymore.
Apathy. The Chicago way.
If you did not vote do not bitch! LAZY !
one retired guy here
She is in her mid-seventies. She was never on the job. She spent over 80% of her career on disability.
Same here, never received anything!
What do Ro and Kamala have in common? Both are big time losers!
If you think about it, was she ever?
Cry me a river. Those same “younger” patrolmen were screwed out of duty availability 7 years ago. “Older” patrolmen grabbed the money bag and laugh all the way to the bank. “I gets mines, kid” comes to mind. What goes around comes around.
Wow, and it was done via email. How hard is that?
I hope that Lonergan answers email inquires, unlike the guy before him. Say what you want about Hauser, at least he responded to any pension related inquiry I had.
Learn to read........she was on the ballot to represent annuitants.
Isn’t she in her 70’s. She not on the job. Isn’t she running for the retirees reb
Won’t matter in 6 years anyways with city bankruptcy and fund insolventcy. Keep on rockin in the free world.
The only notification I got was some hate mail from the FOP
You must have had your head buried in the sand.
Guess you were never concerned enough to check and see what happened.
I just asked some people I know. Nobody knew there was an election going on or who was running. No ballots or letters in the mail. No emails. Sounds like some BS going on.
I wonder WHY they kept him on the ballot? Obviously to take away votes from DJT.I guess that didn't work.
What did you do about it?
the view just cant get it your useless candidate lost also sunny you are still a ghetto gangbanging hoeeee
joy reid of the reid out as they say on the westside " you re one nasty fat-ss ugly b-tch
I have never received a ballot or any type of communication in regards to this election
According to Sunny hostin of the view
We're dumb, uneducated and We're not going to get the America we voted for.
Seems to me.. we HAD parts of that America 4 years ago and were on our way to more before they took a very horrific virus and used it to stall this country.
So.. yeah..
The Market went bananas today, like it did then....
BOOM!!!

Whoopi Goldberg Gets Thrown Out Of Guy Fieri’s Flavortown, “Don’t Come Back Here”
Poor Ro… been scamming disability for her entire career with a BS injury. Nice girl but I have no love for disability scammers while the rest of us are out there working, getting hurt and then having the decency to not scam but go back to work. You have officers getting shot, dragged by cars and in horrible accidents while doing the job and they voluntarily return to the job when healed because they have pride. Others use disability to their advantage when they could go back to work on light duty or on a desk job… instead they keep the scam going saying they can’t even sit in a chair or pick up a phone and type on a computer. Sorry Ro, go out and get a hobby.. if you wanna still be involved with this department, then come back to work.
Officers do not “put themselves” on disability. They actually see a doctor and jump through hoops to be placed on disability. Ask anybody who applies, besides being first put on “no pay status “ for a period of time. Unless you are “blessed”, you will almost always need to hire a lawyer and then after no pay, and being followed around by a PI friend of the Pension Fund, paid with Pension Fund you may get disability, the road is not easy. So do your homework before you throw those stones. If you are Active, you are 1 call away from possibly having to go on Disability yourself. Unfortunately you will be on your own now, without Ro’ and Wayne. BTW, I am not Ro, and if you knew her, you would know she works to help anyone she knows and is not on any payroll! She has also been retired for some years, do she isn’t allowed to come back to work. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and be careful out there
What comes around goes around John C. Dirty Snaky Bitch! Karma is not far away😊😊
All I needed to know was that that whack job BS supported Ro. Tom got my vote.
Congratulations.
Brock. I know you will serve us well. You have integrity and you will defend the fund from scammers.
It’s important to clarify some misconceptions about disability and the process officers go through to receive it. Officers don’t simply “put themselves” on disability; it’s a rigorous, medically supervised process that requires documentation from doctors, as well as reviews by multiple parties. Many applicants face “no pay status” during evaluation, endure intrusive surveillance, and often have to hire legal representation just to get a fair assessment.
Disability is a benefit designed for officers injured in the line of duty—sometimes from incidents that don’t fully heal. Those who qualify often have injuries that prevent them from safely performing duties on the street, whether due to physical limitations or chronic pain that affects decision-making in high-stress situations. Disability isn’t about “scamming” but about safety—for both officers and the public.
Some officers return after serious injuries if possible, while others, due to the nature of their injuries, cannot safely do so. The choice to pursue disability isn’t one made lightly, and the process is not an “advantage”—it’s a challenging and often stigmatized journey. So, before casting judgment, it’s wise to understand the full picture, especially since any officer could find themselves in a similar situation one day.
Start with the alleged ptsd scamming Lt from 010
Brock, Do Us proud!!!
Stop with the disability sanctification. I saw 10 fakes for every legit case over 35 years on the job. The fakes were usually hooked up with some whack from The Outfit.
Ro is going to contest the election Tuesday. She wants a new election with paper ballots double envelopes. The woman just won't go away.
What department do you work for? There is no more light duty or limited duty on cpd. Been gone for many many years.
Lonergan is in his 70s and barely worked the street while on cpd. Was in the academy most of the time and busy going to school getting his multiple degrees on the city's dime, even though he never did physical police work for the city.
Get ready for more corruption and control. You can cry on the blog when Tom and old boys network of thieves tell you there's no money left for your pension. But fear not, they will all be set for life $$$$$$$$$$.
Hey 11:07:10
I came on the job to make pinches. Put bad people in the penitentiary. You came on the job to be a political hack. Don't worry, there are a lot of you.
Ro is at least 4.5 years older the Tom. On her app to get hired she lists no education. She got hired at 40 when the max age was 35??? How? She filed bankruptcy. He has an accounting certificate that he got when he had an app into the Treasury Department. There were only two choices. The decision to vote for Tom was a no brainer. How much did she collect for the audit? How much did she spend? For the third run for office how much did she collect for postage and how much did she spend? People are on to her. She got less votes than she has members in her accountability group. Why? Because a lot of us are on to her! She threw me out of the group when I asked question.
Here's a thought. Why didn't YOU run????
Old School, there was a max hiring age of fucking 70 for a period of time in 1980s. Geezers sued in 1985 and they had to give a second test that year to accommodate 35-70 year olds. Lots of dusties got hired for about 5-6 years.
Yes they are
Yes we are unlike all the well educated African Americans that elected Brandon Johnson,Biden and are still living in gang infested neighborhoods,need safety officers to escort children to under performing,over staffed schools. Yes Joe and Kamala and barrack did nada for Hispanics or Blacks . Some are waking up .
