Another $5 Million Gone

In addition to the eight "deputy mayor" spots ($189K) and seven "assistant deputy mayor" spots ($147K) costing taxpayers more than $2.5 million per year, Conehead is set to spend another $5 million on a completely separate bureaucracy dealing with convicts:

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson’s 2024 spending plan earmarks $5 million to create a new department designed to help those returning to Chicago from jail or prison find jobs or other assistance as they work to rebuild their lives.

    The newly created Department of Reentry would have a budget of $5 million and four employees charged with helping formerly incarcerated individuals in Chicago get what “they need to thrive in this city,” Johnson said at a news conference on Tuesday.

    “This has been a long-term demand for years,” Johnson said. “Only in this administration is this investment being made. So, when I said we could take care of everyone in Chicago, I mean it.”

This kickback scheme is the brainchild of former convict / current aldercreature Walter Burnett. A four person office with a budget of $5 million is ripe for corruption. What do you need for this Department?

  • a storefront
  • some furniture
  • four phone lines

Even if they're making "deputy mayor" salaries and buying their furniture from wherever Stacie Conehead gets her chairs from, there's still more than $3 million on hand for what? Cars? Parties? Airfare to some bullshit government conferences? Bribes?

It's money that doesn't exist in any form except higher taxes.

There are already agencies that do that. So it’s a redundant and I’m sure a cronyism department at best. It’ll end up being just another “unofficial reparations” job with them giving city jobs. I know a guy who manages a Walgreens. I don’t know if they still do it, but Walgreens had a hiring program for felons. He said without fail they’d steal the place blind.

Figure the x-cons require a nice hotel to lay his/her/he/she/it’s head, three square meals a day, clothes, personal hygiene, personal phone for Uber rides, a credit card limit, spending cash for booze, drugs, companionship, etc, et. Oh and teach these re-entry level future employees how to “code”.

I have a job for convicts returning to the workforce after prison: train wrangler. They just have to jump on the tracks as the train approaches and try to catch it. This will lower the crime rate by eliminating the chance they will commit new crimes, while also decreasing the unemployment rate. The best part is the job will always be available, because it's damn near impossible to wrangle one of them there trains. Now give me my share of the $5 million.

Reentry in Illinois is monitored by IDOC and is called mandatory supervised release which consists of mainly a parole officer and standard programs and procedures. So let’s throw more money at something that already exists makes sense if you’re from Shitcago

The Chicago public school to cook county jail pipeline has added a $5 mil dollar pipe.

So here we are. We are spending $39k a year for maybe 12 years more money each year than a university of Illinois college tuition to put a student thru school that ends up unable to read or do math.

The CPS to prison pipeline starts with a crack pipe. We buy police choppers to chase criminals around to "bring them to justice". The justice of the peace then places a so called electronic monitoring ring on the offenders and sends them on their way to repeat their crimes. There's no monitoring it's all a farce. There's no deterrent.

Then if and when a conviction is ever issued and prison time is sentenced at the end of that and after spending $39k a year for 12 years on a failed system it's determined we need a re-entry program that has partnered with some unheard of school to "educate" the person via a $5 mil office.

What's next?

How about the re-entry office put the ex-con up in a j.b.pritzker luxury hotel you know until they get back on their feet? They need a place to stay while they go to the fake school and receive the fake diploma and finnaly get a city job as a community activist violence interruptor to hang out with the same criminals they grew up with.

Wtf are we doing?

$39K X 12 == almost a half.million dollars wasted. Then a entire fleet of squad cars that are not allowed to chase anyone, thousands of sidearms and weapons that God forbid you may have to use one day. An expanding fleet of helicopters costing thousands of dollars per hour to run. All to put an electronic monitoring ring that doesn't preventive-ly monitor anything

What you are looking at here is a 21st century Potemkim village whereas it's all about imagery.

The city council. Oh they will give into the mayor's tax increases and sell to the citizenry that taxpayers have really won because they are "only" getting a $70 mil tax increase instead of the $300 mil. This city council we can call The Tower of Babbel.

It's just plain crazy. Teachers that are unwilling or unable to teach.. Police officers that cannot police and the treasury is being raided by you know who for personal gains

Re-entry programs

The labor agency is also investigating Midway Staffing, an agency that hires migrants, for possibly violating federal child labor rules, according to documents obtained by ABC.

"We were deeply troubled to learn of the allegations made against a former temporary staffing agency," a spokesperson for HelloFresh told ABC in a statement, adding, "As soon as we learned of these allegations, we immediately terminated the relationship."

Even though the hiring of migrant children to pack meal kits for US consumers may have been facilitated through a staffing company, HelloFresh is a partner of the Tent Partnership for Refugees.

Tent is an advisory nonprofit that mega-corporations use to work with resettlement agencies, staffing agencies, and other nonprofits, to source cheap migrant labor. You heard that correctly, this is not 'America First' - this is globalist open borders of cheap labor first.

More free shit for the illegals when they come here and shoot each other and citizen taxpayers give them a hand out like it's an Oprah show

Damn it I missed the opportunity to pet the dogs and to fill out the crime victim assistance application to get more free shit. Anyone else make it in time?

Three people were killed, and five others were wounded in the 3500 block of West 59th Street on Monday, police said. All the victims were between the ages of 20 and 35.

Support services will be offered on Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Monarcas Academy, located just blocks from the shooting scene. The center will provide therapy dogs, youth services, and help with crime victim compensation applications.

Resources are available to all victims of crime, including survivors of domestic violence.

Services are offered in English and Spanish, and all assistance is free.


Whelp you know what they say. Dead men tell no tales and so CPD either doesn't know or isn't saying where these dead men once lived and neither are any of the party goers saying apparently.

What kind of investigation is that? Funny too but not in a ha-ha way "investigations" have. NOT determined the motive for the mass shooting. So we are supposed to assume that NONE of the survivors have a clue as to why their friends were being shot? This thing has cover up written all over it imo.

So how many crime victim compensation assistance applications did the city take IN at this event

The current group learned from the former groups going back 65 years. It's easy once the single party system was setup. It wouldn't surprise me if they're asked to open a safe for evidence and, well,it's empty. Look at it this way it's your legacy.

Coroners identify third Chicago Lawn mass shooting victim; CPD opens emergency center

So if coroner's were the ones that identify a shooting victim and not detectives does that mean the corpse was identified by DNA and therefore has a criminal record?

Also when did CPD take over the churches counciling and support services jobs for victims. Is there going to be a CPD procession with flags hanging from CFD ladders too, flags half staff at city hall and mourning bunting at the districts? Like what is the policy? How many people have to be involved in a mass shooting before all this shit is rolled out? Is 3 not enough is ten too many.. not to sound xenophobic but does immigration status make a difference and the numbers are lower for non citizens?

Crime victim assistance compensation applications you mean like reparations?

When the mag mile gets looted there are no "emergency centers" open for them. No crime victim compensation assistance applications when a car jacking and robbery spree goes down. What's up with that ? Gotta love the coneheads b.s. too.. "...there is no place in the city for this kind of violence..." apparently the mayor doesn't get around there are plenty of places in the city for this kind of violence happening every damn day we are not blind. Go gaslight someone else mayor

"...as they work to rebuild their lives."

This phrase alone illustrates the warped perspective of outlets like WTTW. You see, the convicts had built a good life, but society tore it all down, and now they need assistance to build it back up again. And it's only fair that society should do that, because society is to blame for their problems in the first place.
