FOP Meeting

While the investigation into misappropriation was "closed," all is not well at the Lodge. We got reports from a couple people this week regarding the Wednesday meeting:

  • So at the union meeting last night, the crew was completely gas lighting the members . First [JC] stated that he will not discuss the subpoena on “advice of counsel." the $425 hour lawyer our dues are paying for . When  [...] asked him are we still having to pay for his lawyer he said in a smug tone "Yes." Next was word salad where he said the “union “ was under investigation and that’s why we are paying for his lawyer
  • A simple question was asked is John named in the subpoena and he said he would not answer . We are paying for his lawyer and we can’t get a straight answer on what the subpoena is about ? He also stated the US attorney got a “complaint “ and this is why they are asking for records.

So the union is under investigation? Then the membership deserves answers.

Is the president under investigation? Then the membership ought not be footing the bills.

  • [JC]’s so confident that it’s all meritless and based on some sort of personal vendetta, he mentioned retaliating against whoever brought such an unsubstantiated allegation to the Feds, saying the person responsible needed to face consequences.

Um, whistleblower protections first of all. If there's retaliation, the membership better not be paying damages. Besides, that would be a civil matter, paid for by the aggrieved party, who (allegedly) is in such dire financial straits, he couldn't begin to pay those hourly rates, even with the union credit card.

And what's with the Board member in attendance being so drunk he couldn't give his report without staggering on stage and slurring his words so badly the audience couldn't understand portions?

The other guy drinking hard liquor on the rocks right up on stage? 


And everyone else looking shell-shocked like they were coming to the realization that they're going to be held accountable at some point for the blatant misbehavior still going on - either electorally or something more serious?

It was hilarious how he said “Shouldn’t the person who put the complaint be proud to say they did it? Why won’t they reveal themselves?” And then follows that up with “They will be found and punished.”

Umm…. That’s why they don’t want to reveal themselves.

Sorry guys, I've belonged to a real union for over 50 years here in Chicago, everything is above board and open to the members. We have special meetings and vote on everything. We took a haircut in 2009 and voted to partially cut our benefits for the good of the membership,and when the markets rebounded we were paid back with interest. The feds are always watching and our expenses and salaries are posted online. Our president Flys coach and reports his spending. During contract negotiations with 100s of contractors they are always moving forward inventing new perks for us. We are actually very proud of our union. I really can't understand how J C gets away with the scandalous shit he is apparently pulling. You guys deserve much better. I hope you can run these schmucks out of town and get proper representation. Sincerely cpd family.

JCat didn’t threaten anyone, he merely said that whoever made allegations/complaints should own up to it instead of hiding. I don’t agree with this, however this is what he meant.

Man, if they look that bad now, imagine how they’re gonna look after the Feebs bring them in for questioning? And then how much worse after they’re charged … they’ll probably resemble West Side hypes from all the stress.

But that’s what they get for selling their souls to be part of The Catanzara Cult. They all fall into line and lockstep with whatever King John wants because they either fear him or still thinks he walks on water. It’s the FOP Lodge 7 equivalent of Battered Wife Syndrome and the only one who said “no more” was Mette.

They all look like shit and as an active member I’m actually rooting for them to get it buried in the ass Federal Style. There absolutely must be consequences.

This is 💯. As someone who regularly has business in the building I can verify this is a fact. They know their days are numbered and they’re going crazy trying to figure out who besides John will get scooped up. The atmosphere in the office is like being at a funeral and the looks on their faces all the time are like this picture. This is the look of defeat, of knowing something bad is about to happen. Small talk doesn’t happen anymore and when business is discussed we are all very brief and on topic because no one knows who to trust anymore, wondering who said what to the Feds, who’s on whose side etc etc. I predict a partial mutiny when the time comes cuz a few have finally seen John for who he really is. Only it’s probably too late. And more than a few of them seem to have started hitting the bottle harder and more often. It’s very clear that things are unraveling here. Add in the big changes at the State lodge and they’re all extra nervous here. This is seriously gonna be national news from everything that’s been happening.

HEY FEDS,
We’re told the investigation is “closed,” yet somehow we’re still shelling out $425 an hour for an attorney who can’t even clarify whether the president of the Lodge himself is named in the subpoena. That’s not transparency that’s contempt for us footing the bill. Are phone records being subpoenaed? If so, it is imperative ALL PHONE records including texts be gathered for the Grand Jury, especially beginning in 2023. JCAT’s revenge tactics and payoffs are in those text messages and phone calls. You’ll have more charges lodged against everyone involved.

If the FOP is under investigation, then the membership deserves straight answers. And if JCAT is under investigation, along with DiSanti, McGuire, Cosentino and Brown, et al. there is absolutely no reason where the members should be subsidizing his personal legal defense. JCAT’s smug response “Yes” when asked whether we’re still paying for his lawyer tells you everything you need to know. He thinks the membership works for him, not the other way around.

Then we’ve got the threat of “retaliation” against whoever allegedly brought information forward?
Let’s hope someone in that room has actually heard of whistleblower protections, because if he follows through on his little revenge fantasy, which he has done to others it won’t just be reckless, it’ll be expensive. And the membership better not be expected to cover court-awarded damages for a president who can’t control his mouth, his obsession with spending money, his revengeful behavior or his ego.
Finally, as if the credibility of the FOP board wasn’t already hanging by a thread we had a Board member so drunk he could barely stay upright, slurring through a report that no one could understand. Did he drive home under the influence?? That’s not unprofessional. That’s humiliating. It’s an embarrassment to the Lodge and to every member who pays dues.
You can’t preach integrity, transparency, or fiscal responsibility, JCAT , when the leadership can’t answer basic questions, hides behind lawyers, threatens retaliation, and staggers onto the stage half in the bag. If you think this is acceptable, then you’ve forgotten who you work for and it’s time the membership votes a no confidence.

Later he looked in the trunk to see if anything was in there . That was out of habit . 😀
It would be nice to see how many road trip JRat went on that the “ Board “ approved . How many federal laws do you think these guys violated ? First thing when and not if he gets arrested is to make a motion and get rid of the “ corruption lawyer .”
After that launch that how about Btian Hlavin and Fioretto . Next in line call Geppetto to pick up his son Pinocchio. After last night bring a saw so he could get through the door . This guy lies more that his boss . Well that’s debatable ! Anyway this charade continues and you will have John’s naysayers that he’s a political victim . Happy Holidays !

Hey John, drop the act. Everyone knows your name is on that subpoena, so this wide-eyed “Who, me?” routine is just pathetic at this point. You’re not fooling a single soul who knows the truth.

And hiding behind that overpriced lawyer of yours that we as members are paying for. If your high priced attorney is co-signing your lies, he’s playing with his own law license. The ARDC doesn’t exactly hand out mercy slips for attorneys who help their clients duck the truth.

So before you spit out your next fairy tale, think real hard. Because when this finally blows open and it will, you’re the one who’s going to be standing there explaining yourself while the consequences close in.

Keep going down this road JCat and you won’t be dodging questions, you’ll be dodging handcuffs.

Regarding the attorney who is representing J-Cat at the rate of $425 per hour, I am do not know who is dumber, the people who are trying to sell the convenient lie ($425 per hour) or the people who actually believe that the the rate is $425 per hour and still think that that is too much. No experienced lawyer, especially with federal issues, will charge $425 per hour. For a reputable, experienced, and knowledgeable lawyer, $1,500 per hour is a bargain basement rate. And one hour of work might get billed for 2 or 3 hours, plus fees. But I digress, what is going on with the Triple P Loan Fraud Dispatchers? What is going on with the retarded dispatcher who could not comprehend a simple message of “everyone is responding, we are sending everyone.” If that were an unconnected blue shirt, then he or she would have been hung out to dry a long time ago. Yea, karma is a b@#ch!

FOP is exempt from complying with FOIA requests. Pretty convenient, huh?

But that’s OK, they’re NOT exempt from federal subpoenas, electronics preservation orders and the freezing of union assets.

All John Catanzara and his loyal minions are doing is slowing down the inevitable. Go ahead and keep restricting members’ access to our finances. The IRS has EVERYTHING they need - FACT. Whistleblowers gave statements as did others (and I’ll leave it at that). They have all relevant 990s. They’ve sent requests/subpoenas to the creditors who issued the FOPs credit cards. John has been on their radar for quite some time and it’ll all be coming to a head in the near future.

And since we know you read SCC, John… let us be the first to tell you that you WON’T be the acting State Lodge Prez like you told us at Wednesdays meeting. You LIED to the membership. Again. Yes, we’re plugged in WAY more than you’d ever imagine.

Tick tock, Johnny Boy… better ask Santa for protective custody.

If Jcat is charged by the Feds and found guilty, If it is determined that he acted solely for his own gain, the union can file a civil lawsuit against John’s estate to recover the spent for his lawyer. Just a thought

You’re right on the money. And not for nothing, they might not need an internal audit had they let The 3 Witches see the books when requested a couple years ago.

But John “I’m the Smartest Guy in the Room” Catanzara just had to flex. Only he had zero idea who he flexed on. Every bully eventually gets his ass handed to him, and JCat’s number is about to get punched.

First off, FBI is already involved. Secondly, Why do we need lawyers? Jcat and crew are the ones who need it, why the fuck would we get lawyers? And write Trump? Write to santa while you’re at it.

No other president has gotten as much for the membership as Cantazara. With the other clowns you guys would be eating cat food getting 1 and 2 percent a year on your contracts. Arbitration instead of the police board, especially now, he should have a bronze bust made. Don't give me some shit that it was some other jack holes idea, funny it never got done while they were in charge. Crazy all this shit that "was in the works" only came to fruition when Cantazara is in power. You really enjoyed those squad cars and being at the mercy of police hating police board while inflation destroys your family's income. Works out good for the union bosses who get taking care off when they leave but no so much for you when you are unemployed or earning less money every year. All this noise on the blog is just that noise. JCat will win again and the 10-20 people trying to get FOP spots will have to gin up so more bullshit to rule the blog up.

DO NOT opt out of the union if you are an active member. That is terrible advice.

All the times I got called in to give a statement as a "witness" on their fishing expeditions would've cost me thousands. What are the yearly dues, about $700?

It might not be perfect, but it's all we got. Work to fix the system instead of giving up.

It brings disgrace on the entire organization FOP - and if we are paying lawyer fees for an individual who works for the FOP then the FOP headquarters should have a say?

You have to pay taxes. We all do, its one of those things the G doesn't like or turn a blind eye to. It is a must do. Just because you 'pay back' funds you use freely, that you had zero right spend initially ~ no matter the amount. It is still embezzlement .... funny how that works.
