Money Spigot

You want to see what a drain the "Consent Decree" actually is? If you go to the Independent Monitoring Team website, you can download six years worth of monthly statements and hunt through their expense paperwork. The summary page (page 1) is obscene:

  • Jan 2024 - $476,312.23 
  • Feb 2024 - $360,892.82 
  • Mar 2024 - $466,239.62 
  • Apr 2024 - $446,884.71 
  • May 2024 - $502,926.51
  • Jun 2024 - $412,025.14

That's for only half of last year (the last year available) and there are names and hourly breakdowns how they're charging the city. There are tens of dozens of entries that cover "review" and "meeting preparation" and all manner of bureaucratic nonsense.

How efficient are they? Well, what's the Department "compliance" rate currently at? Under 20%? Meaning this is going to go on for another two or three decades enriching Maggie Hickey and how many connected lawyers with untold millions.

Why kill the cash cow? They will continue to find something wrong in us, not in compliant until the money runs out. Once the money runs out, then things will magically be fixed.

The superintendent is so proud of the 20% compliance rate.

This “consent decree” which the city “leaders” voluntarily imposed upon itself has to be one of the best scams these lawyers ever dreamed up. They bill the city of chicago tax payers $500k a month for doing what exactly? We need a lot more transparency regarding how tax payer money is spent!

This all brought to us by Lisa Madigan the daughter of convicted racketeer , Mike Madigan. A complete fake consent decree not run by the DOJ , but run by an independent monitor. Yes , a single person is running this nonsense.

The real question is how much did the city pay for the “Police Yoga” program? Remember that? (And yes PPOs this was a real thing.)
