Must Be Nice

Conflicts of interest out the ass, but hey....no standards for Chicago aldercreatures:

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson’s pick to lead the Chicago Housing Authority, retired Ald. Walter Burnett, and his wife Darlena Williams-Burnett have been paid more than $260,000 as housing voucher landlords for the agency since 2007, a Chicago Sun-Times’ analysis shows.

    Records show the Burnetts have had 10 contracts for properties rented to CHA voucher holders, including two ongoing contracts and five contracts that were active during Williams-Burnett’s time as an employee of the government agency.

    The voucher payments to Burnett and his wife appear to present conflicts of interest, according to the CHA and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The business dealings could be a roadblock to his appointment to lead the nation’s third-largest public housing authority.

Burnett was just as good at armed robberies as he is at stealing from taxpayers, maybe slightly better since he hid this for a number of years and almost got away with hiding it until he was nominated by Conehead to run the CHA. Now that's in jeopardy.

How many scandals can you accrue without going to prison? Money in politicians hands disappears quicker than snowflakes hitting a warm sidewalk.

Chicago corruption is been going and federal judges just don’t give enough federal time to deter it. Put these democrat criminals in prison for the maximum amount of time possible and stop voting for them.

Wow! He is doing better than me, I offer quality housing to the lower crust of humanity. So what if I destroy a neighborhood, piss off a aldercrearure, have questionable hygiene and ethics!
Thanks to my body doubles I can still control my housing fortune from Rosehill.

So if this information is true and you know some of the facts then you should report it to FBI and DOJ.

Forms of puppets and the skills required to master them:

Puppets on Strings/Wires.
Most skillful and deft at manipulating control handles, concealed snuggly behind the curtain, the puppeteer seamlessly weaves it's puppet performers upon the staged illusion of transparency.

Hand Puppets.
Whether full length of arm, muppet type, or merely fisted, with thumb/forefinger as left/right limbed, minimal skill and tolerence for the stink fingers, the puppeteers of limited skill choose this form.

Trigger Jawed Puppet.
Mild skill required to time out movements of hinged puppet jawbone, to pace of source of spoken words, the puppeteer fond of babbling constantly chooses this type.

Remote Controlled Synthetic Puppet.
The electro/magnetic marvels of solenoid, wireless signal transmission, miniaturized implantation and such, provides the prime choice option of the puppeteer fond of complete invisibilty and pseudo fleshly visibilty of their puppet performances.

Pre-Programmed Flesh Drone Puppet.
Aka, politicians and only their most reliable minions.

And on with the show they go.

WB epitomizes the worst characteristics of Chicago politics. Want him to attend a special event, like the centennial for your school? Only if you agree that the students will go door-to-door for him during campaign season. Want those potholes filled? Let me check the donor records first. He's made in the image of Madigan. He was integral to all the gerrymandering back in the 2010s that gave him reach all the way to the lake -- because it took away power from other politicians who didn't kiss Rahm's ring. Everything for his own profit and power, and nothing for his community. Should be in prison, not running a city department.

Tell the sorry-ass USAO/NDIL to actually prosecute a fraud case. They suck, tons of Federal OIGs have good cases into local shitbirds that would go a long way in purging the local system if they resulted in convictions. How many aldercreatures (or members of their household) get Link despite $200k salaries? How many dipping into Medicaid? Etc.

Trump administration, and HUD need to conduct a forensic audit on all federal funding to the CHA ! It is riddled with fraud, corruption, contract fixing, kick backs pay to play, and political hiring .

Burnett…the convicted bank robber. What kind of community elects a convicted bank robber?? If you really want to steal big money don’t rob a bank. Instead run for office in Chicago

Off topic, but connected.
Coming to Chicago soon.

Iconic California city on brink of financial ruin after being crippled by $230 million sex abuse scandal

But city officials say the primary factor pushing Santa Monica toward full-blown collapse is the alleged sexual abuse by former police dispatcher Eric Uller.
In April 2023, the City of Santa Monica agreed to a $230 million settlement for over 200 victims sexually abused as children by Uller.

They don't like to hear this on the blog, but you are 100% correct. They're all crying here because they're not in charge anymore but it'd be the same regardless.
