No Meeting?

Our usual contacts for FOP info are radio silent.

One single comment claims:

  • The meeting has been canceled! New time and date TBA

So....does this mean the decision didn't go the way someone wanted it to go? 

Did something else necessitate the delay, like half the Board came down with food poisoning and a quorum wasn't present?

Alien abductions? 

Or even worse....I.C.E. abductions?

You really missed the mark with this one. John was found not guilty on all of the charges brought up. The board recommended a committee be established to better oversee spending and finances in the future. Meeting was today and It’s over. John is a free man. And word out there is that the Feds aren’t going to proceed with anything. They were given a tip by E.J. So they followed up. There is reckless spending but not criminal spending which is exactly what the board found.

Oh there was a meeting. And as predicted by many, John’s handpicked committee absolved him of all wrongdoing. Which is small potatoes in terms of consequences at this level for John and any of the others involved, but huge to the membership as they justified John’s use of our money as his own. It’ll be the federal charges that get him. Check out the comments here for a more thorough explanation:

The fix was in because Beasley has no clue what misappropriation is and went to several dictionaries and found several different variations.
One charge they accepted a receipt that was made 4 months after a tshirt printing with no form of payment listed. One charge Christmas in July, they agreed that the money overspent WAS NOT PAID BACK FOR 7 MONTHS, said it was paid back by the lodge? One charge said not enough evidence but said it wasn’t appropriate. ( doesn’t that explanation itself say misappropriate? ) he put that money into an interest bearing CD. Note, money that wasn’t his to keep he kept the leftover team money not guilty because it wasn’t deemed to go back to members. ( all team members donated and they are members) One charge not assets of lodge. Not guilty Charge for painting went over approved spending but it was for a good cause, threw out the national secretaries name who they must have called to ask about the auction. He would pay back the money in the future there is a plan in place. ( doesn’t that sound like he did it? But they think he’s not guilty because he promises to pay the overage) side note overage is more if you add in the Miami money spent in total and allowed. Cruise in Miami, No discussion of cash collected and spent on dinner just that cruise charged and dinner approved by board. ( well they were there eating it so they wouldn’t approve it?) Funds were repaid by the lodge. So they spent it and then repaid it from where? Lodge funds or their pockets? Because if it was lodge money it was charging members twice.
Board admitted he spent too much money so now they will have a committee ( that will collect a stipend) to monitor the spending.
The entire board minus 3 is compromised.
Trevino, Ortiz, Delaney. These three didn’t agree with the decision and now we know they see the truth. 2 abstained. Don’t know those names. There was executive session which isn’t open to members. ( WONDER WHY)
Also John said something about people not reacting when findings are announced. Almost like he knew ahead of time (orchestrated) and knew people would be pissed. Johnny how did you know what the outcome was before it was read? Time to appeal Mette. I think the state will get it right. Also hoping the feds swoop in before it even goes there. Hopefully before the next million leaves the bank. It’s far from over. We expected this but had hoped that the evidence would be followed. . A neutral party should have handled the investigation not the same people who ate the steak and went on the boat cruise. Hope that Matt Beasley will be removed after all is said and done as he is possible the dumbest, most gullible guy to not know that the dictionary is not a law. He should also brush up on the Chicago continuation where it states the duties of the board. He’s not doing his job.

The meeting was not cancelled. It lasted from 1000-1615. What a s--t show. Beesley, the committee chairperson, read his long report.

This is the gist of the report: Catanzara only made one wee little mistake. It was fine for Cat to waste our money on a $10,000 piece of artwork. After all, he and other former FOP presidents had previously done similar things. So, based on past practice, this was ok. But Cat went over his monthly spending limit because the shipping cost to get the piece from Florida to Chicago was $800. So, the committee recommended, Cat should pay $800 to the lodge.

Beyond that, Cat did nothing wrong. M.M. was the problem. M.M. created distrust in the membership by making these allegations, which were filed too soon. Rather than bringing up charges, M.M. should have brought the issues to the full board, where everything could have been peacefully and quietly resolved between all of the honest and trustworthy board members.

In the end, the board did not even vote to make Cat repay the $800.

So, it's business as usual at Lodge 7.

The meeting and the results of the “ fair “ disciplinary hearing did take place . There were approximately twenty people to view this scripted miscarriage of justice . As soon as everyone arrived Rob Noceda demanded everyone sign in which has never happened before at a Board meeting that I can recall . What reason and what weee they going to do with identifying those persons in attendance ? Catanzara’s announced that h wanted no reaction from the members watching when the verdict came in . He glared at people in the room and seemed quite confident which we later would realize why he was .
Catanzara’s strolled into the room not like a person who was afraid of being expelled but someone who had already knew the results which quite frankly I believe he did . Matt Beasley was not present waiting for the second lawyer which we now pay $450 an hour to attend . When the lawyer finally arrived and Beasley went into his explanation it became obvious that these charges had been gone over by both lawyers and the verbiage they used to discredit the charging party as their plan of action . Beasley should have just got out the dictionary to explain the word “ misappropriation “ and why using that word is what they hung their entire case on . Matt Beasley went into great detail about social media , Fraternalism and other words trying his best to deflect what we were there to hear . Did Catanzara “ misappropriate “ money from members dues and if he did were anyone on that Board have what it takes to find him guilty and expel him ?
Right now at this time Catanzara could do about anything and he controls this Union and runs it the way he wants . The committee which consisted of Beasley , Covelli and O’Keefe “ recommended “ on each charge not to go ahead with discipline including expulsion .
This hearing was about as fair as the last election . Catanzara now has at his beck and call a high priced “corruption attorney “and the bill is growing . There were three people in that room who voted against Catanzara misappropriation of funds . Beasley abstained which quite frankly in itself is humorous . Here is one of his followers who like many others in the room does exactly what he is told . Anyone standing up Catanzara will be dealt with like Mette and
Kicked to the curb .
It’s obvious that this “ Union “ is in serious trouble .This board is responsible and complicit with Catanzara’s fleecing of their members hard earned dues and should be held accountable for their past three years actions .
The utter blatant corruption that exists now reminds me of what occurred prior to World War II. Hopefully when the Feds do their investigation a real and fair hearing will bring out the truth but far too many members who would have contributed to the Fop have already checked out and given up .
Catanzara right now a four time Police Board survivor who retired without credentials and can’t get above the first floor of 35th street controls this Union . It’s a sad day when honesty , integrity and fairness are extinguished .
That’s about it !

I heard i was summoned. Ha, as for life work, I'm sorry but you are not it. I gave enough of my time, money and resources when you guys used me to run for Senate. I actually have a family and life that requires my attention. As for the board meeting, no I could not make it because of the before mentioned reasons. With that said, I also did not need to come and watch John's minions misuse the word, "misappropriation' as a way to get their cult leader off. Everyone knew how that was going to go down. If the active members want to jeopardize their careers and freedom for John, so be it. The feds know what the word misappropriation and embezzlement mean and all this hearing did was wrap up more coppers in their web. Thanks for making us look like the typical good ol boys club. As usual we will all be judges by the acts of a greedy and ignorant few. I will continue to spend my time serving my family and community to the best of my ability, while you continue to fleece your fellow officers and wait for the Feds to come. As for my Facebook page, it contains stories and pictures of my family, but if stalking it makes you feel better, by all means enjoy.
Oh and I almost forgot. Are we still paying for your $425 an hour attorney. You know, the one you got because the federal investigation is just a rumor? You know, the one with the contract you refuse to let the members see? Right, keep stealing and keep hiding. I wouldn't be taking a victory lap if I were you.

What does he have?! They ALL benefited to living large in some capacity off of our dues money. All of their “union business travel” is comped. Same with meals, rental cars, airfare etc. Not to mention that 98% of them work less than a full day. They all have their fingers in the FOP pie and I guarantee they were warned by JPud that they better place nice or the whole ship would go down.

This outcome at this level was 100% expected. Seriously… who on earth should be allowed to investigate themselves? It defies logic and a bylaw needs to be introduced which has an independent outside entity hear these cases at the first level before it can be appealed to the state and National lodges. I’m confident that this is far from being done as the feds have a ton to use against John and the crew and their day of reckoning will come.

And yes, Beasely has got to be the biggest patsy ever to run that charade of an investigation on behalf of his man crush. What John did is literally the legal definition of “misappropriation”. Admitted to by John himself and acknowledged by the board and the sham committee. But they simply justified it as business as usual with a few additional “unintentional” mistakes. They basically said it was ok for John to steal from us because he was going to reimburse the lodge at some point but other things got in the way and he forgot. Yeah, ok. Problem is that they literally defined his actions as MISAPPROPRIATION but refused to act on it. But they made a pinky swear that they’ll more closely monitor the cash register moving forward.

The silver lining is that this was all memorialized and there were dozens of witnesses present. Witnesses who No-See-Duh had sign-in (we took a pic of all the names on the clipboard). Names that can be subpoenaed at a later time to testify to what was actually said in the event that Rob’s recording of the event “goes missing or the transcript coincidentally gets altered like his general meeting minutes have a habit of doing. Yeah, they’re celebrating their “victory” but it’ll be short lived.

I also want to thank METTI and others who’ve worked tirelessly behind the scenes even if they prefer to stay anonymous. EJ, in particular, has done a fantastic job shining a light on the misuse of members’ funds.

Hopefully, one day, John Catanzara will face his karma and a proper investigation by the FBI will bring the full truth to light. Thank you, EJ, for all your hard work. Many people appreciate what you’ve done stay strong and keep fighting for what’s right.

this is the legal standard for "misappropriation": https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/misappropriation: "In law, misappropriation may be defined as "[t]he unauthorized, improper, or unlawful use of funds or other property for purposes other than that for which intended." Misappropriation commonly refers to situations in which the offending party has an added measure of responsibility, such as misconduct by a public official, a trustee of a trust, or an administrator of a deceased person's estate. An individual who has committed misappropriation may be liable to criminal prosecution for a form of theft as well as disciplinary action, if the person is a civil servant." This is what Beasley used: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misappropriation "to appropriate wrongly (as by theft or embezzlement)"

Just a suggestion, some of you should contact the National F.O.P. and inform them of the accusations submitting proof and evidence, including what appears to be a sham "hearing". They should be able to advise what is needed to de-certify Lodge #7. How to void the past election etc.

Yelling and name calling has not solved any problems, so the next step is action. One of you may have a friend or relative that is an attorney that might be experienced. Not sure that the Feds are interested in this or is it a pipe dream for some? The County States Attorney's office?

You know the City Council and Conehead are laughing at this dysfunctional outfit. Easy to control with a divided house. They hold all of you in contempt anyway. Without a strong F.O.P. or bargaining group, they just piss in your faces, like always.

Over 2k fop positions are unfilled. These positions do not pay any dues. Numerous positions have been civilized these do not pay dues. Every sworn member who retires gets an application to apply for civilian police positions. These positions do not pay dues and will not. The city has five phase plan to civilize the pd. Almost every job outside patrol will be civilized. Almost every position in BIA, community policing, and even the detective division will be civilized. When will the FOP start carrying, when investigate aids and cold case specialists replace detectives or the retires are replaced on the board with active duty officers. Can the fop survive with only about 4k dues paying members and what will each members dues payment be at this level? The fop is bloated larger than hq. Also, the city is looking for more office space for all of the civilian employees. They are re-configuring the building and looking for off site locations. We are only starting phase 2 civilization, when will the fop care?

I have a few questions :
1.) Catanzara did nothing wrong why did we hire an attorney at $450 per hour to represent him ?
2.) During Beasley’s report he reported that on three different occasions they contacted the attorney to ask him how to proceed . Which one and why if there were nothing to hide ?
3.) The Beasley report did not start until the corruption attorney showed up and no members of the Board asked any real questions .
4.) How much is the bill for the
New attorney up to ?
5:) In my opinion Catanzara
Could do about anything and this Board would not punish him . They are a collection of supporters and loyalists who will do whatever he wants . The rest of the Board consists of people who are afraid of Catanzara and what he will do if they confront him . They should be afraid but not enough to give up their beliefs .
When the investigation concludes I do believe that each and every member of that Board should be expelled for
Not doing the right thing !

Only if she gets assigned a bunch of cases where disgruntled people make case reports against politicians and then expect her, the detective, to arrest them. A little taste of her own medicine.

It wasn't 'not guilty'. Also, FOP Board decision is meaningless and pointless. The Feds will continue you to their job. Taking money, even if paying it back, is theft. Damage is done. Theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, whatever you want to call it. Call it. He doesn't have to worry about being President of FOP 7 - he has to worry about staying out of prison. He knows it. Lodge 7 will be finished, never to existed again... taken over by some version of the State or Lodge. This will all come to firey finish soon.

Dear John, did you part ways with the extra attorney? Did you pay the money back? We know you used your CC for trips and so do the feds. They don’t owe you anything. Are you going to dump Monica out of the office now that she voted against you?? Guess she finally saw the light. The investigation isn’t over, but you keep telling yourself that . Can’t wait to see the dinner bill for your victory lap. Hope its very short lived.

30% increase get you to 14x that is still 3m return on investment even after the over spending charges and as other have stated 2000 less sworn po’s.

If this is correct I say great job Dennis!

For the record "the women* voted for and helped get Johnny boy elected twice!! They are part of the problem at the FOP! If Johnny boy would have given them a seat at the table they wouldn't be complaining. Also EJ was a member of the legal defense committee and never came to a meeting except when John came asking for legal defense! She defended him and voted in favor of him receiving his legal defense!

Both the state and national lodge,,,,,,,,Yeah open up those books line by line. They waste even more of your money. But they all deserve week long conventions in Vegas, dinners, golf trips, and free tickets to sporting events just not John because he upset the apple cart of the past thiefs. The attorney is probably costing members more then what Cat is alledged to has overspent.. (Not Stolen) What a waste…..The money spent by past present and future administrations will continue local state and national. No Charges will be because the politicians still want the campaign donations.

To protect your money and this FOP, the Board must immediately freeze John Cantazzara’s corporate credit card and limit any disbursements to his pension only until the investigation is complete. Right now he’s acting like the Board’s reprimand was insignificant, and his compulsive spending is a real risk to FOP funds. We need a temporary allowance policy and a full independent review before any further access to funds is restored.

Let me just say this and one day I’ll tell you to your smug face in the court room, that you, JCAT are evil, vindictive and morally corrupt. When did you lose your moral compass?
I recently watched your “TGIF” video, and anyone who looks closely into your eyes can see what I see, a man without a conscience, a man without a soul and a man with no human decency. There’s a coldness in the eyes, zoom in. The reflection you will see is a dead detachment from the harm you’ve caused not just to me, but other wonderful kindhearted women you’ve betrayed by seeking revenge. You have no sense of accountability, no awareness of the damage your and your monsters in crime actions have done to the very people who once stood by you. For 38 plus years you’ve fooled people with bullying, a loud bravado, and hollow words. But truth has a way of surfacing, John. Sad to say you will face the consequences one day, not just legally or professionally, but karmically.
You may think you’ve gotten away with it. But I believe in something bigger than corruption and ego I believe in truth, and in karma. And one day, you’ll feel the weight of every lie, every betrayal, and every ounce of pain you caused.

So it’s ok for Catanzara to spend his members hard earned money . He was able to use his $450 attorney to find a loophole to make Mette look incompetent but in reality he still stole the money . Each and every member who voted not to discipline Catanzara should be expelled from being in the Board . What a shit show

How was the steak dinner to celebrate your victory? Hope you eat well because I hear that the food in prison isn’t so fancy. I know you have many fooled that you are innocent, but those of us who read the information in black and white print know what you did. At the very least it’s tax evasion. According to the law using members dues for personal gain is against the law. How did someone with your history of lawsuits and non payment of debt, foreclosure, repossession, and squatting buy a house? Did you get an FHA loan when you bought the house from retired SGT MARTIN? Did you put down 30K? That number sounds really familiar. Like it’s the same amount as the campaign donations. Isn’t it? Did you put campaign money in your personal account? A CD? Did you collect cash at the door of the boat cruise and then spend it on dinner and tips? All of the answers to these questions are yes. I cannot wait to see the 2024 990’s and see if your spending went up more than the 400% it went up from 2022 to 2023. Maybe roughly 1,000,000 in spending. You can all sit there and say this is a witch hunt but this is plain and simple police work. All of you that insist that John is not guilty should make an appointment and go read the books. It’s in black and white print. You just have to go see it.
I will wait for the real investigators that have no loyalty to John come up with their charges. I’ve been waiting for over 3 years, what’s a few more months? The fact that charges were filed two years ago and then shenanigans with the money continues should tell every member what your president thinks about you. Think like the police. Investigate the facts.
