Whoops - More Money Disappears
Conehead's budget keeps running into problems:
A Cook County judge has ordered the cash-strapped city to refund $163 million in penalties it tacked onto more than one million vehicle citations, fines that sometimes doubled the cost of a simple parking ticket. Those penalties inflated the city’s already steep ticket prices beyond the levels allowed by state law, Judge William Sullivan found in violation of state law.
Sullivan’s ruling came Thursday after the case wound its way through the county’s notoriously slow court system for eight years. Sullivan found that Chicago had illegally piled late fees onto citations for routine infractions like parking violations, in some cases pushing the total bill past $500 for tickets that state law caps at $250.
This goes back to the Groot administration and maybe part of the 9.5 Digit Midget's.
The ruling also affects a bunch of uncollected citation debt dating back years that was never collected, but was almost certainly "spent" over the years as part of the fantasy budget numbers.
That $163 million was also spent. It doesn't exist any more. So something else will have to (A) be cut from the existing budget or (B) covered with some as yet undetermined tax levy.
So much good news.

Cut something from the budget???
DemonCraps don’t know the definition of ‘cut.’
Unless it is applied to defund the police.
The city thought it was “OK” to swindle motorist. Now pay up, in deed they will.
How about the 300 plus million the city owes US, the police?
5% growing EVERY month.
Tick tok, tick tok.
Chicago is Doomed.
Old man Daley didn’t have this problem but of course the city was alive and thriving. The decline started with mayor shortshanks, which has now come squarely to rest at the feet of mayor blowjob. But rest assured money will still be found, not cut, for the illegals.
Where's "mayor" BJ you may ask? He was at a costume party in DC sewer yesterday.
Democrats Stage Bizarre ‘State of the Swamp’ Circus with Inflatable Frogs to Counter Trump’s SOTU
Organized by DEFIANCE.org, the Portland Frog Brigade, and COURIER Newsroom, the event was billed as a “live rebuttal” to Trump’s speech.
Attendees were encouraged to wear green attire or full frog suits as a symbol of “peaceful defiance.”
Attendees include Robert De Niro and Mark Ruffalo, as well as failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, disgraced CNN host Don Lemon, and radical mayors like Chicago’s Brandon Johnson and Minneapolis’ Jacob Frey.
The frogs, originating from Portland’s ICE protests where one was famously pepper-sprayed last year, have become a staple of left-wing theatrics, using “tactical frivolity” to “mock” what they describe as government overreach.
At least eight members of the Portland Frog Brigade flew in from Oregon, shipping a whopping 385 inflatable costumes to recruit more participants, according to a Fox News report.
Where is the money owed to us that a judge ruled in our favor regarding VRI?
So this is why the elected officials of Chicago never pay their parking tickets? They knew it was all a scam and let the rest of us chumps to pay our tickets or get threatened by the city with misconduct charges for employees!
Nice game! So where and when do we apply for are refunds?
I know what they can raid...
The Machine is crumbling down....and WE LOVE IT!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=312EMkURAFw
I got an idea says...
When ever Mayor da Conehead has a presser....
They should start it with the Three Stooges music...to keep it real.
I won’t hold my breath
8 years? That's some serious BS! The Chief Judge needs to fix it or be fired.
Merit Sergeant S. Vences
Word travels fast in this department. On the day of the detective exam, merit Sgt. S. Vences gave out tips on how to pass the promotional exam. How can someone who never passed a promotional exam give the rest of us tips? How can someone who got their promotion via the broken and corrupt merit process even say anything? The smartest merit sergeants, detectives, bosses, etc... don't say anything.
He hates it when people point out that he is a merit sergeant.
President Trump's speech last night was outstanding. He acknowledged the bravery of our military, police and firefighters.
America is back and life is so much better now. We are safer and stronger than ever. God bless America.
There's nothing left in conehead's poke but a bunch of moths. Time for another panic attack.
Almost certain that 90% of these excused tickets/violations were garnered by ‘oppressed’ citizens who were racially ticketed because they didn’t feel like purchasing stickers, had no respect for the rules of the road and park wherever & however they felt like. I’m sure that Conehead will be getting a refund for tickets he paid way after the fact.
maybe "find" all those millions that disappeared at the obamama ugly building to pay for the tickets
So much for retro checks and vri money coming anytime soon
This is another example of the waste, fraud, and abuse that continues to punish Chicagoans. And that $ is gone and those responsible will just shrug and never face any consequences for their actions.
Hmmm this reminds me of all those years the City didn't allow lawful ownership of a firearm in said City limits violating another Constitution. But they got away with that for so many years so why not more abuse.
BJ doesnt need to dress up...he should just go as he is, the ugly MF! I guess he doesnt have anything else to do in this City, after all, we dont have any problems...Bahahaha. Who paid for his trip..us Taxpayers?? He shouldnt have to be so worried about Trump, hell be out of office before Trump will!!!
Cut something from the existing budget, outrageous idea.
I loved it when his blackness Al Green held up his little sign and someone took it away from him on his early exit out of the chamber. The News cameras immediately switched their shot! Al got pissy and stormed out! Fuck Him!
Heard on the street that De Niro made a move on Maxine Watters and she turned him down.
Pumping 13 shots into a body on the ground didn't help. That gave rise to everything after.
FLEE ILLINOIS!!
Move to a solid red state soon.
They never will.
Democrat way.
Why do you insult the Stooges?
I bet these parking scoff laws get refunded before cops de frauded out of VRI OT do.
Time is running short, the collapse is upon us.
2 words for you: jealous bastard
is there an island out there where we can ship these unstable creatures ?
100% agree and a major shout out to Delilah's Dad. If every father treated their children as he treats that child, the world would turn easier for her generation
Is there anything left for illegal aliens?
Scc why do certain Sgt’s know when these LT results are coming out ??? Seems like fix is in…
Why. Is it that every political TV commercial every candidate touts how they are going after Trump. Talk about abandoning the district/ state you are paying to represent, forget about Trump. He’ll out smart anyone who goes after him! Work for the citizens not illegals in your district.
merit sargeents always have the best war stories
Good luck
Where do you think he is gonna get the money from…,it will be at the cost of city workers..,.
Thats right
This is terrible news for police pensions funds/rauses
Bingo

9 words for you: I made sergeant ten years ago on my own.
Call me biased or even jealous. But I think merit should not exist.
And add $5.7 million to the running tab due to today's court ruling over a warrant execution.
yea, and where did that get us? groups of young thugs w extended mag and switch glocks roaming doing robbbing and carjackings. not to mention 10 guns on the south and west side stolen or missing everyday. Joke
So true fuck trump is really getting old. They have no thoughts on the issues that's why
If it's something more for illegals the city will have tons of money.
well, amazing how 1 p/o kills 1 black person and it's the end of the world, black people finally unite for that dead black person, yet the same black people and democRAT politicians are forever silent every time a black man, woman of little kid is killed by a fellow black
what 1863 team quit was it MD or VC
In damages calculation, where the city fights and appeals the damages.
It wasn't the shots pumped into the body. It was the way it was handled by gold stars, news affairs and Rahm afterwards that was the real problem.
Seems to me they knew it was unconstitutional because at every probable cause hearing the City attorney would drop the MCC charge outright, ensuring the case would never make it to trial, and subsequently didn't get challenged for its constitionality.
There's always money for illegals, just not any money for legal citizens.
Yeah, Manhattan.
I think you are confused. You must be speaking of Joe "Mr. Potato head" Biden and some of his finer oratory moments and stage presence. His command of the English language, his well thought out musings and incoherently ramblings and his ability to communicate with dead people are most memorable. Lest we not forget Joe's handshakes to no one, falling down while exiting the podium, tripping and falling down while going up airline staircases and wondering off into the woods mumbling to himself. Also, his famous stagger and fall bike rides represent just a few of Biden's embarrassing and shameful moments.
To 03:345:10PM - It wasn't embarrassing at all that stupid congresswomen were screaming at the top of their lungs, eyes popping out because they were called out for the billions of tax payer dollars they help steal. Not at embarrassing at all as the camera showed elected officials sleeping while at work being paid a salary with benefits that hard working actual Americans could only dream of earning.
