The FOP Story So Far
The First VP filed a number of charges (five we're told) against the President of the FOP. Under the Constitution, a committee of three is appointed by the First VP to investigate and resolve the charges. As the First VP filed the charges, he deferred to the Second VP to appoint the investigative committee of three.
The Second VP immediately appointed two of Catanzara's biggest and most vocal supporters to "investigate," so don't get your hopes up too high as the wagons appear to be circling into two different camps.
The First VP offered to drop the charges immediately if the President would produce receipts for a number of credit card charges that are the basis for the accusations, but was refused outright. Once these receipts are discovered and entered into evidence however....well, it's anybody's guess where it all ends.
We're also told that a bunch of the by-law changes have been rescinded due to a extensive backlash and possible lawyer phone calls from the State and National Lodges. We'd still heartily recommend that everyone who is able to do so, show up at the General Meeting on 17 September at 1900 hours, just to remind them that despite the general apathy, there is still a driving interest in people spending Dues Money in service of the membership, not the enrichment of the Board.

I’m retired. I haven’t been to an FOP meeting in over 20 years.
Do they still serve free pizza and beer?
I think we need more Vice Presidents
as someone who has some knowledge of this, here’s my two ¢ … what does Mette do on a daily basis? Bike ride, motorcycle ride, mental health fair, mental health conference, wellness summit, wellness retreat, kisses heins ass, rinse and repeat.
this is the same person that after telling officers that money isn’t the end all be all/ that days off and wellness is the highest priority- he boasts about 5% raises. why? his salary and his tier1 pension got a fat boost.
and those 5 charges, no teeth and easily disproven.
SCC
The real problem is too many retirees on the board of directors. Seven board members are in their seventies and eighties.
The two most important words in the above post are “general apathy”
This is beginning to sound like a tale written by the one who wrote 'The Cat In The Hat', amongst many others.
Assuming Mette has the evidence the Lodge Leaker(s) say he does, there’s no way the trio assigned by Gorman can NOT find Cantanzara guilty. And if they’re still blinded by loyalty even after airtight evidence is introduced, there’s two things that will soon follow:
1). Those members carrying John’s water will be brought up on charges of their own.
2). John’s crimes will be prosecuted criminally as the AG is already involved and in a holding pattern pending the administrative outcome. Those complicit will likely also be criminally charged.
Our source says this goes much deeper and wider in the ranks of the FOP Board. All of them have been at the trough in some capacity over the last five years. A handful have pilfered to excess. They’ve been found out and now they’re scrambling to do whatever damage control they can because they have no clue how little or how much of their corruption has been memorialized and shared with outside alphabet agencies.
Everyone is afraid to talk to everyone else at the Lodge and longtime alliances are now suspect, communication capped at legitimate Lodge business and forced pleasantries. They’re all walking on eggshells. The pressure is starting to wear on John… one of our moles at the FOP golf outing yesterday said he berated his longtime secretary Kathy to the point she was in tears. It’s no wonder there are leaks at 1412… people in this administration have seen and had enough of Cantanzara.
Side note: we’re told one of the of “crazy and bitter broads” was in attendance, literally eating popcorn as the drama unfolded. Gotta love it.
Why do we need and pay like 10000 2nd vice presidents !!???
So the board is going to eat each other, LOL, how comical this is. The entire FOP should be pushing a beat car after the elections. Let's say the entire FOP body gets kicked out, none of those idiots will be pushing a beat car because there are people within CPD who owe them favors.
disantis will cover it up for his master jkitty next election remember all involved and vote them out!!
Gormans choice wasn’t immediate.
1. He came late to the board meeting.
2. He acted surprised about the charges even though everyone knew and read them before the meeting.
3. He said “you want me to do it now or can I have a moment” when told by JCat that Mette deferred picking the committee of 3, so now it falls on you
Dan.
4. About 15 minutes later into the meeting Gor made the choice. Once the choice was made, the investigation is DONE. The group are big spender promoters.
The heartbreak is that 100,000 of our dues money is now being flushed down the toilet for an independent accounting firm to look at the credit card receipts.
Why the f do we pay Dis and Cap to be the Audit committee if we now are going to pay to check their work and the work of the accounting firm Susetti.
You’re just plain stupid if you’re still allowing dues to be auto deducted. Legal to stop the deduction.
Haha Nothing will happen. That’s a move right out of the Washington Democrat playbook. Basically appointing themselves to investigate.
That's your priority.
The REAL problem is the apathy of current Policemen. Too lazy to go to a meeting and too lazy to vote.
Remember (PBPA Pres) Sgt Pookey took 1 million from PBPA and lived it up in Vegas. Charges criminally. Don’t think they ever recouped all the losses.
Yea, and its ONLY for JC and his minions. Thanks for your dues, now STFU.
This is all just a stunt to shut us up and start fixing the books
Where is the lady of the night from Florida on all this ? Burp .. Drunk Florida slob
Taking eight hundred a month, that money should be going to active officers not do nothing scabs. I m retired show me a union where the retirees control the union. Where is the leadership. We have a retiree trustee that testifies in court as an expert witness against members of the Chicago Police Department.
Easily disproven with the receipts, which Kitty Kat refused to produce over and over again. Nice try John.
In my labor experience all expenses are submitted with detailed receipts and statements at the monthly board meetings. It's at that time they're either approved or not. Does FOP Lodge 7 do it differently?
There are outside agencies involved for Fraud and Embezzlement allegations. They are waiting for the independent auditors report and if receipts are produced before advancing their investigation.
Well, it’s over before it started. All of the paperwork, receipts and other documents as we speak are being shuffled around, mixed in with receipts from 20 years ago in dusty boxes that haven’t been opened in a decade and they will get everything they want to show all together right away. The two will control the investigation just by peer pressure and the 2 V 1 mentality. The 3rd “investigator” isn’t much better and will more than likely fall in line. In my opinion, now Dan Gorman, who I normally like, needs to be gone. He completely failed and caved to caranzarra to save him. National FOP needs to step in and take over business and have a national member sit in on the investigation process. Can the members petition the national lodge to send an observer???
Yes free pizza and a beer are a priority as long as it gets them in the door.
The crazy and bitter broad is just that. Ask anyone who has ever worked with her if she is a good person then base your answer on that.
They are gonna spend 100k for an audit. The last time they did it they spent 50k and found about 2800 of missing money, not stolen money, missing money. Politics suck.
disants is clown , lucky to be a PO and not a janitor somewhere
It's the 'Chicago Way'...
All the cool kids do it...
Eventually they always go too far...
Crapparelli is no angel. He is as complicit as one can be when it comes to enriching himself.
Hows that COLA treating you guys, or the Social Security fix, or the Tier 2 fix. Now I know Social Security was a national thing, but these major victories were done with this administration.
Ha! We all know that dog and pony show was staged. We know you guys were never really the police, but stop trying your bullshit in front of people who are.
Who do we contact to stop the deduction, FOP or Payroll? Do we lose representation?
Idk about the kathy thing.
All of the money that John spends is approved by the board of directors. He spends a lot of money, show me any union where the president doesn’t over indulge. Now, because of ambitious snakes in the grass, they’re going to spend $100k of our dues money to only find out that whatever John has charged to credit cards was already authorized. Simpletons like yourself are totally fine with lodge wasting $100k but outraged to find out that John may have ordered an extra side dish at his favorite steak house. Mette has his eyes on the presidency and stabbed John in the back. As for your fantasy of the AG or whoever getting involved, yeah, go try selling it as a screenplay. The dem machine do not like John and if there was anything egregious here then he would have been indicted back in Lori’s term. Daydream all you want!
Being retired why the hell do you care what's going on with the FOP?? I stopped by dues the 7th police period and will be retired in Jan 26, why in the hell would you continue to pay dues to them?? Some officers are soft and can't let go I guess.
Because apparently there were some discrepancies that were discovered. Also, its good every now an d again to have fresh eyes 👀 reviewing
The IG, AG, Feds and the other agencies involved with this investigation all have subpoena power to get copies of purchases and receipts. I have a friend on the “J Kitty” task force.
On an episode of The Simpsons, Homer was elected Union president for suggesting that the union hall serve "free beer" at the meetings...
The ratio of retirees has nothing to do with our current situation. If you look at the last election active members voted in surprisingly low numbers. That was an important election because J-Cat should have been held to a single term. There was enough bitching on this blog to guess that he would be a one term president. If you give a shit, the take the time to go interface at union meetings and actualy talk with some people and yikes! Even listen to what someone has to say.
Are the social graces completely lost and forgotten on the younger generations? Sorry, you cant sit at Starbucks, stream a union meeting on your cell phone and tap applause when you hear something you like.
I imagine the irony is lost on you? "...We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing..."
DiSanti not DiSantis, fool!
"A committee of three is appointed by the First VP to investigate and resolve the charges"...WTF? Sounds about as reliable as "The Warren Commission" What's the next step? J-Cat is going to clear this in street shoes.
Off topic- any rumor to this?
- any idea if it’s valid, he said Rham did it too to non cfd/cpd.
this is making the rounds now ....😡
The City's position is to eliminate all post-retirement health benefits except for statutorily required benefits and benefits promised to a closed group of certain annuitants who retired prior to August 23, 1989. The City has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police for the periods of 2017 through 2027; that agreement includes the CBA benefit for the full term of that agreement. At this time, other than the new collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police, it is not known whether or when the CBA special early retirement health benefits will be specifically eliminated, modified, or extended.
Therefore this year's reporting of liabilities is based upon benefits.
I served under him! What a great boss. A real prince. Took care of working coppers...right now I work for Major Scandal, and Colonel Merit...
One of the most pressing problems is that for some reason the membership (active and retired) can't seem to see red flags along the way. J-Cats second term should never have occurred. CPD just keeps on steaming ahead at full speed ahead when it sees the iceberg. Never mind the numerous warnings given during his first term.
Similar to Chicago voters electing Brandon Johnson when they knew exactly who he was.
Take your head out of your asses and remove the blinders brothers and sisters.
Tier 1 pensions did not get a boost. You dumb?
The scandal on Washington St.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
mette then offers to rescind the charges if he provides a receipt? he knew the charges were minor and he overplayed his hand but he got what he wanted
people talking shit about jcat instead of talking about wins we've gotten
disanti fills the role of loyal soldier and enabler. every union president in every union in America has someone like him in it.
gorman is the hardest working guy in the entire lodge- keep his name out your mouth. what he does with discipline and grievances are huge- if he goes we are all fucked
Mette had to take the complaint either way. With other outside agencies investigating Mette doesn’t need another stain on his career or go to prison again. On the other hand, will he bite the hand that feeds him and suffer Jrat’s wrath?
Graham you are a pos!
Right, Mette is such a piece of shit for putting the wellbeing of members over his own selfish needs. Instead of raising money for families of fallen officers, he should be like John and spend the members dues taking trips to Vegas and Miami. Instead of investing in mental health, he should be spending our dues on a booze cruise, then charge the members cash to go to it, and then pocket the cash. You're right, that Mette is such a dick, if only he was an egotistical, self-serving, fat ass thief like you, John.
Any thoughts on this?
https://www.mystateline.com/news/local-news/chicago-man-receives-conditional-discharge-in-plea-deal-for-rockford-shooting/
Wait until you retire, and realize you’re not getting shit and say that. Members don’t vote unless free food shows up in an expensive trailer where the senior guy has 2 years. FOP is useless
Please put on blog the members of this so called committee investigating. Lets figure out who they are their ties to this clown then we can predict how it goes
Don't worry Dave, John will still give you your monthly awards. Now they'll just be made out of macaroni during his arts and crafts hour in federal prison.
You should probably do your research and count how many people are actually active police officers on the current board.
Hint, it’s very few. I can’t wait to see the newlywed RN who married his side chick, explain to her why he has to work midnights in 006. she will have to get a job because his big fat paycheck just got reduced to policeman’s pay! She might not be too happy that he can’t make his own hours and work very short days. It’s not what she signed up for after all..
All I was ever told was I was out of order. I'll explain CPD/FOPwith 3 TV shows. Romper Room, Peyton Place, And The Sopranos.
(OT) if your banking at the credit union in Garfield Ridge, they got rid of all their employees they took out all the tellers they did destroy this. Credit Union looks like Scott arney the rich guy who runs the credit union as the CEO merged the credit unions and now they’re taking away the tellers so the ability to talk to somebody is over with. So if you want a personalized experience time to go to a regular bank because this is utterly ridiculous.
First off Kathy Spiewak is as treacherous as the one charged . She was complicit when they terminated “ Cricket “ who was on lunch and told her John had to speak with her and would watch her sandwich . How many bonus checks has she received in the past five years up and above her salary ? She testified in Kevin Grahams behalf basically saying he had no access to the camera on his office but the fix is in . Most of the people on this Board are John backers or have been threatened by him to fall in line .
Two years ago John and two other members showed up in Cape Coral for the Cop shop and flew back to Chicago the same day . This was to talk to the retirees about the next election . Catanzara pulled out a Fop credit card and paid for the luncheon for about sixty people . Who paid for the trip and the lunch ? Now he’s fighting that the audit not go back to the beginning five years ago when he had no money . Here’s a guy who has had numerous repos and he’s has his buddies holding the hearing .This smells worse than the Kevin Graham hearing . John Catanzara runs that place and anyone who steps out of line will feel his vengeance . Two sides of Catanzara and what side you will see is if you oppose him . Spiewak along with John were aware of the “missing ballots “ on Election Day and said NOTHING !”
What are these “Vision and Voice “ Board members gonna do to Catanzara? They are gonna try and discredit Mette and then do nothing about the charges !
Dumb comment of the day. Stay off the blog and find a life in retirement.
It's society, not just policemen. Most service / civic groups are in the same position - they are of little interest / immediate gratification to the hip crowd.
That’s all you got? Not a lady of the night a drunk, or a slob. Sorry you don’t like the truth being told. Can’t wait for secretary Kathy to speak up. She knows everything. Bet the feds can’t wait to interview her.
Tier 2 fix? I must have missed that. What you Talkin bout Willis? Nothing is changed on that
David DeSantis who was appointed as the chairman of the board of directors by jcat himself!!! Caparelli who is also a big Jcat suckhole recieving a salary for doing nothing anymore after leaving the treasurer's spot if that's not a conflict of interest and a straight fix of a scam job,what is??
State and National have to step in. Dan Gorman shame on you. This hearing committee is comprised of rubber stamping Duckhorn who yells at anyone who threatens to take away his free trips and meals. The delegates in Miami looked like they loaded up the bus at the senior center and dragged half dead people to come vote. John I hope you are soon wearing handcuffs. You couldn’t just collect your 200K paycheck and live simply. You couldn’t even pay your mortgage a few years ago and now you are spending 10K on a painting? Big spender. Wonder if your paid for girlfriend will leave you once the money train is halted. Who paid for her airfare to Miami? Did John and board members have to split a room like the other delegates? Why was Kathy there? To collect the cash? He certainly didn’t use her to coordinate where John wanted the delegates to be daily. An email should have been sent out for daily schedule but it wasn’t. People were all over the place. What a shit show. Even Detroit said they needed to distance themselves from John, LOL DETROIT of all places.
Was there its ridiculous, girl said they will be doing this to all branches soon! Time for another bank, seems since they merged Scott Arney CEO is obviously getting richer on our money! Now time to say F-The police like many others!
The only way that this thievery and embezzlement gets cleaned up is when the Feds finally get involved and start interviewing the goofballs at the FOP..FYI: Lying to a Federal Agent is a 5 year sentence in a federal prison..So,pack your toothbrush and your blankie..
I never voted for him and was shocked police officers, who should be able to tell a bull shit artist from a mile away, supported him, not once, but twice.
Real old time cop vs new.
Entertaining to say the least.
This rumor also popped up with Lightfoot wanting to eliminate it as well. It was explained to me that if it’s eliminated it could only be for the new contract IF negotiated. If you retired with the 55 and out already, you retired under that current contract which included health benefits. They can’t go backwards and take back a previous contract. Going forward is a different story, however it’s always been negotiated back in by us having to give something else up. When you push that button, like I did recently, it automatically comes up in the City computer that you are taking the 55 and out health benefits. They can’t take it away from previous only from future.
Tier 2 isn’t fixed. Still can’t leave until 55 without receiving massive penalties.
You are correct. NON Cpd and CFD. If you retire, and the current contract, which does, include the 55 and out health benefits they can’t go backwards. Rahm did take away the civilian health care and all non cpd and cfd it did not affect active and retired active. It comes up every negotiation. It’s in the current contract. And previous contracts which the City would lose in a lawsuit and labor complaint. Going forward is a different story. I’m sure whoever is in charge of the union will negotiate so the 55 and out remains in place. It’s only probably our biggest benefit.
Rahm did indeed take insurance away from city workers. Retirees were suddenly paying 2k or more a month for insurance. There are employees who can't retire because they can't afford insurance because of Rahm. If he runs for potus, unions nationwide will bring this issue up.
You mean the clearing neighborhood
My buddy who works for the city. He will not get health care when he retires. He will have to buy his own. He will have the option to keep what he has now but that’s expensive.
Also not a fan of Chicago Patrolmen's CU being renamed to "National Police" CU. Time to leave.
Looks like Jimmy Jack put down the fork to take a swipe. The only one more greedy and self centered than John. We need an audit on his lunch tab alone.
John like to deal in cash, over spend what he's allowed, then asks the board to turn a blind eye. That's how it's done Lodge 7 style.
So that makes it ok to steal from us?
Unfortunately I think you're right. Hopefully we can demand a criminal investigation.
For everyone saying that JC will be out
screw the retires who pays for my lunch?
Look at all the dumbass comments in this post! These young'ns have no sense of humor...
55 and out health care was free until the Sgts gave it away. Look for them to cut out the weakest union in the country again. sergeants need to decertify their association m !!!!
on a brighter note white sox on track to lose 100 games this year
go cubs you can still win the division
So.
Law enforcement officers are as varied as every other human.
Imagine that.
mike mette is a clouted entitled spoiled punk
john you better be careful remember what they did to jimmy hoffa
Regardless of how this pans out it is time to gut the FOP and start fresh with new staff. I’m talking from the secretaries that answer the phone to the fop president. They’re all terrible and don’t give a shit about the cops
I retired a year ago and had my pension check sent to Chase because no one answered the phone there. It’s all press your party’s extension, I didn’t have a party and hit 0 for operator. Nope kept going back to hit the party thing. They answer the phone at Chase. Lots of branches too.
Who pays for his girlfriend's ticket/seat at all the various dinner functions he brings her to?
Everyone over 20/50 should retire immediately. If you stay, you are an idiot. Or maybe on your third marriage with kids under 5 in your 50's...You're still a "Sad Sack"
COLA has been very good to me (Tier 1) Got another raise coming in January. This is the only gig that pays you more just for getting older! Now, I collect Social Security too! lol! Life is Good!
Source?
I hope oh say can you see gets indicted. With the amount of backdoor deals she’s involved in.
Watch how fast JCat will try to use his loyal buddies as cover. He’ll stab them in the back without a second thought. He should have never been voted into that position the first time. He has no conscience.
"Sometimes you have to play the role of a fool to fool the fool who thinks they are fooling you"
Roland turned into a piece of shit and stole hundreds of thousands. Went away and got out with no remorse and even has the balls to write stuff on Social media. I don't think the union recovered all the money and don't know if he did repay via ajudgement.
What ever happened to the previous president of the Sergeant’s association who embezzled over 2,000,000 dollars through his police officer wife who was the treasurer. I know he got 5 years and I understand that he is still living the good life on the Northwest side.
If I had a ballot I would vote for John again today. No other FOP president ever called out the mayor or his appointed police administrations of merit superintendents like Cat. They hate him. Mette looking for his 30 pieces of silver. Wonder what his end game is. Cats has always been to improve membership and benifirs
I think his name is John Palohusky. He did a little time but the Assoc didn’t get a dime.
You are so full of shit. Kevin Graham planted a camera in his office to spy on John and leak insider information to both the mayor and supt. The camera had audio and could be easily accessed from Kevin’s phone, laptop, anything, not any different than any other person looking at a ring camera. Graham should have received a lifetime ban. He appealed his one year suspension to both state and national lodge and denied. As for the Florida trip 2 years ago, that’s called campaigning, you dipshit. Candidates tend to go to where voters reside, this time a popular community for retired po’s in Florida, and looked for votes. As far as which card John allegedly used, how do you know any of this? I wasn’t there and have no idea but I guess a hundred thousand of our dues money will pay for this stupid witch hunt. Lastly, stop with the missing ballots lie! Ballots that were mailed in after the deadline were held in the po box until the lease expired. John won in a landslide because Bartlett was a garbage candidate who ran an even worse campaign. Count those late ballots and John only gets even more votes.
Whoever the dummy is that said Tier 1 didn't get a boost is clueless. It went from the COLA beginning at 60 yoa with a 20 year cap down to 55 yoa with no cap. The COLA was increased from 1.5% to 3%.. If you're too old to keep up, don't comment on current events.
Ask J-Cat where the prize closet is at FOP 7 and tell him we want to see it.
All the checks are signed by two field reps not the president. If the checks are suspect to fraud the treasurer has to go along with the guys who signed the checks. As far as the painting goes the president can spend up to 10k w/o immediate approvial. Example lighting hit the lodge. He cvan call the roofers
The painting was for the National FOP foundation (a charity). Lodge 7 is the largest lodge in the country. Giving 10k to carity every other year is not out of line . What he didn’t realize id the shipping and insurance if he get launched for the painting its bull shit. The other shit is another matter and should be investigated to its logical conclusion.
PS the two women ARE bat shit crazy but that doesnt make the wrong ALL the time - just 90% of the time. And everyone on the board is rumored to have already been call by the Tribune. And the they all believe Kevin Graham gave up the phone numbers.
With a new contract they can do anything they want. However won’t be able to take away insurance from those that took the 55 and out because it was a contractual agreement.
Mette is now toxic. The reality is that Mette has the power to check the credit card receipts on his own. If the mental health conference serial attender isn’t using FOP funds to eat, jet set, and motorcycle ride around America you are fooled.
Only going forward IF it’s not in new contract. They can’t go backwards they would lose in Court and the labor board. When Rahm did it, it was a promise, a given. It wasn’t in a contract. And he isn’t winning the White House.
Danny Gorman shame on you. All in for yourself
The following have been trustees at least the last 25 years and need to be voted out:
Harold Brown ( most miserable human being on earth)
John Capparelli ( never worked a full 8 hour day)
Pat Duckhorn ( yells at meetings to protect his $800 a month scam)
Rick King ( even his police dogs run away from home)
Tom Lonergan ( Mr Doubtfire look a like)
Ron Shogren ( surprised his heart hasn’t blown up yet)
Danny Trevino ( aka Slimey)
10k for a painting? You think that’s ok? How about ask the members if they want their hard earned money going toward a 10k painting to give away. I’d bet 100% say no. How out of touch are u that u think we’re all ok with him doing something like that with OUR money. Fuck that.
Says a coward who can’t sign their name. Entitled spoiled punk who had helped more people single-handedly than the board combined has. (Sorry Danny, you’re a good man, cut these guys loose). And no I’m not Mike Mette.
-Steve Corcoran
oh boy!!!! his name was misspelled here OMGGG what a fool I am !!!
You must have missed the tier 2 fix, Pritzker signed it in August .
Bartlett is garbage, but John hardly won in a landslide.
Duckhorn was the loudest one at the meeting. I can't believe we pay this guy $800 a month to make decisions that impact the livelihoods of active members. When's the last time this guy saw the inside of a squad car? Duckhorn became so irate at the thought of a forensic audit. He must be scared that it will uncover what a drain he is on our resources. He just takes and serves no real purpose. These guys need to let it go. You're not the police anymore, give it up.
So anyone that accuses John of wrong doing is crazy? Got it. So the majority of the members are out of their minds.
Trump loves JCAT so the local Feds are not going to do anything about the financials. BUT, a little birdie has told me that state AG resources are foaming at the mouth for Catanzarra at the direction of pritzker and almost every other dem in the entire state.
Perfect example how cops hate other cops, current or retired, more than the public hates cops. If you couldn't tell he was joking and being sarcastic, than maybe you need to go back to baggie pants and leave the skinny jeans alone. Or maybe stop swallowing that chew spit, its poisoning your sense of reality.
FUCK that entire blm-supporting league !!
9/05/2025 06:30:11 PM
Wrong, the association took his house and sold it. The Sergeants Association did not recover everything but they did recover a decent chunk of it.
Oh great, he called them out. What else ya got?
Trump doesn’t love JRAT anymore after his January 7th interview from Miami after his walk on the beach and short swim he did an interview with Channel 9. In the interview he blamed Trump for what happened the day before and said he would never wear another Trump shirt and basically threw him under the bus . Wrong again Johnnie , you burned the last bridge. Hope they have a commissary where you are going !
I can see this.
You and I, dummy.
You need mommy to hold your pee pee to when u go whiz?
This will be the way of banking in the future. All banks will be going to this format. You will still be able to speak to a "teller or representative" if you like, that will not change. But this is the future of banking in general, get used to it.
agree. I know them all. The captions are sooooo right.
Duck horn was the only trustee to abstain on the 100,000 vote. The other two voted yes. Duck knows that the board approved the spending, so the issue goes back to McGuire to validate the credit card receipts.
GTFO, Trump doesn't even know this loosers name. Just because this idiot wears a Trumo shirt to City Council meetings doesn't mean Trump "loves" him. Trump hates waste, fraud and abuse, which makes JKitty the NGO of labor unions.
I was told they're just remodeling.
Absolutely!!
Made a movie about him?
55 and out health care was free until the Sgts gave it away. Look for them to cut out the weakest union in the country again. sergeants need to decertify their association m !!!! --I think Sergeants lost it in arbitration. I don't believe they gave it away.
10k for a painting or 10k donation to the FOP National Foundation it’s still 10k. Or maybe your the guy at roll call who always ties his shoe lace when they sell raffle tickets for the guy who kid has cancer. Lodges nation wide make donations to the national charities on a per capita basis. Lodge 7 makes donations every national conference to Easter seals and the special Olympics.
He is, and he regularly shops at Mariano’s in Harwood Heights.
Perhaps the next investigation should be the RCPA, Harold Brown’s Retired Chicago Police Association since Disanti is treasurer. We need to audit their books too. How much did FOP donate to them for pet projects or vise versa.
After reading a previous comment I looked up the RCPA. Take a look at the names from the Retired Chicago Police Association and the Fraternal Order of Police board. How many individuals are sitting on both organizations? That’s no coincidence. This group needs a full audit. Receipts and financials must be opened and examined. They do nothing for retirees, yet Harold Brown is collecting a salary from it. Something is seriously shady going on..

Here's a conspiracy theory...this is all planned out by jcat...now he can be acquitted of all charges.
Kathy did send an email with a schedule and updates. I know this because I sent her info I had heard inside the session, and she immediately sent it out. No delegate HAD to split rooms, and many didn't. Detroit members thanked us for our support in getting the 2029 conference, I do not think they wanted to "distance themselves." I can't speak about the other things you said (painting, Duckhorn) but this is what I saw at the conference.
I’ll donate $10.00 to his commissary
Cola was NOT cuz of this admin. R u insane. Been retired since 2017. Got it when I retired. You guys really are stupid
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Read the book. It's better.
Its time for regime change. Time for a new group to rise up like in 2001 when the entire Nolan team was voted out. I look at some of the backgrounds of people on the board and think WTF.
In my over 25 years on, it has been the same group of recycled names over and over again on every board in the FOP. The same retirees are also on the Retired Police Association board. What in the fuck does a retired Police Association provide for anyone? The pension is State law and either you retired at 55 with insurance or you did not. What is the incentive to be in this so-called Association? These retirees refuse to enjoy their golden years that God blessed them with by vacationing or moving away from this shithole. They would rather attend FOP meetings as retired members or trustees and bitch and moan after indulging in a twelve pack prior to stuffing free pizza down their throats.
Trevinos daughter bought his house and then sold the house. big money talks.
A thorough investigation into the RCPA is necessary to determine whether the organization is being used for improper financial funneling or if there is potential financial misconduct, especially since JRats collared lapdog DiSanti is Treasurer. DiSanti has a soiled CPD background like his handler so both he and JRat need to be investigated further.
Greed and control. They're all driven by greed and power. They want the stipend checks and they want the ability to control the working conditions of active members. You want to see what a room full of narcissists looks like, just go to an FOP Board meeting.
Has anyone looked at DD's past while in patrol? That would tell exactly who he is.
