Pay Your Bills
If an Officer appears on one of these lists, they are the subject of an immediate SPAR, upgradable to a CR Investigation and suspended without pay until they are enrolled in a payment program, sometimes involving direct garnishment of wages.
But if you're a teacher or a CTA worker?
A substitute teacher owes City Hall nearly $200,000 for building code violations, fines and traffic tickets he racked up over the past 25 years, making him the single biggest debtor working for the city of Chicago or its sister agencies.
A convicted bank robber landed an entry-level job with the CTA’s Second Chance program even though City Hall says he owes more than $136,000 in fines, mostly for drinking in public and selling individual cigarettes near Douglass Park — a likely case of mistaken identity since he was in prison when the police issued those tickets.
The operator of a West Side religious store owed the city more than $28,000 in water bills, but it didn’t keep her from landing a job as a staff assistant to a City Council member who’s pushing Mayor Brandon Johnson to collect money from deadbeats.
They are among 12,761 people who work for the city or its sister agencies despite collectively owing City Hall more than $19.5 million for delinquent water bills, parking violations, speeding tickets, building-code violations and other infractions, according to data the city’s finance department provided to the Chicago Sun-Times in response to a public records request.
Nearly 80% of those scofflaws have jobs with the Chicago Board of Education or the Chicago Transit Authority, owing nearly $15.7 million to the city, records show.
We even know of someone who was delinquent on his water bill and he had the nerve to run for mayor!

This substitute teacher that owes $200K is a genius as he can only get garnished 15% of his income. Sub pay tops out at $36K-$38K if the sub works every day. If he gets garnished on his net, then he has to pay back $4K-$5K a year while continuing to accrue more fines. He'll never pay the $200K back.
"Nearly 80% of those scofflaws have jobs with the Chicago Board of Education or the Chicago Transit Authority, owing nearly $15.7 million to the city, records show."
Wow.
"The city that works - if you work for the city."
Amazing, simply Amazing…
It's time sadly for the good people in Shitcago that the other 91 counties start thinking about trying to succeed from Hellinois. Let Shitcago eat itself & get it over quickly. So all of these city employees could have wage deductions slapped against them. What are they going to do??? Quit a job that only God knows whom or what they "did" especially the whom did whom part to get the job in the 1st place..... that kind of money recovered would buy a new ladder truck or more. New ambulances or fund shotspotter again. If any private business ran the way Shitcago runs they would be where Shitcago is going to be soon bankrupt!!! The rest of Illinois succeeds & pigster stays W/ the city because it should stay Shitcago, Hellinois. The rest of the counties could call themselves oh I don't know maybe a naming contest for the new 51st state?? I guarantee it won't be abolish ICE. Or anything stupid like that. Crook Co. is so big that 25-30 counties down south voting Republican still get shot down by all of the false votes. The dead, the illegal aliens etc. this article is so stupid that any 2nd grader (or 12th grader in Shitcago) could solve this math problem. Mr. Johnson works for a city. Mr Johnson owes the city he works for a lot of money. How does the city get re-paid. Full disclosure I picked a completely arbitrary name there is little comparison to either my Johnson OR Mr. Johnson
Can’t touch the sacred cows. Looks like there’s a whole herd of them.
So the REASON the Credit Union no longer has tellers?
It is because the bosses at the Credit Union in their great wisdom thought it would be a GREAT idea if CTA employees could join the Credit Union.
The problem is the CTA hacks do nothing but take loans and default on them. Useless mutts. Remember that the next time you see them pulling up in their $80,000 vehicles on Washington.
Demand they pay up or fire them all!
Start with the pin head mayor and his mentor from CPS and the County board president.
I hurried and paid a speeding ticket I got dinged for on one of those speed traps. Maybe I’m the sucker?
It's common knowledge that conehead has given orders that the only zip codes that receive letters demanding payment are non minority. He doesn't want to burden the non colonizers with anymore debt ovligations.
Remember SCC- water is a human right

Years ago, I had the honor of telling a dog ass Sergeant that his promotion to Lieutenant was stopped due to him not paying his water bills on his crappy rental property’s. They put him on the list and then removed him……..
That was the best blow up I ever saw. He started yelling and screaming about how can the City or Department do this to him? He was a special person.
The bill was just over $7400.00 and was over three years of not being caught.
After running to the payment office which was downtown he came back trying to contact Personnel office and the Superintendent office about putting him back on the list? They just let him sit as a Sergeant for another year until the last group was made Lieutenant’s. Best part is he was warned to pay the bill and go on a payment plan. But No! And he eventually became a Deputy Chief.
Earned not given is all BS
running names of people who work for the city and owe the city money is just like that facial recognition technology, they be racist
Sever ties immediately if not sooner
Just walk by any public school parking lot and chech out how many vehicles do not have city stickers upon their winshields . Are you telling me those vehicles are all exempt and have no mandate to purchse any city sticker? I call finance to check on cpd parking lots .
Stereotypical
That city money owed. Has anyone checked to see if the the king of Chicago, Say His Name, Brandon Johnson is paying his newest baby mama pamper money and child support keeping it real? Inquiring minds gots to know.
Its like another form of welfare for democrats. Collect another government check in the name of employment and get a fancy title added to your resume. Do nothing, accomplish nothing and get paid in another form of all legit never quit public assistance. And forget to pay your bills? Amnesty and total debt forgiveness comes around every so often. Let the non-plugged chumps pay they bills while those who collect a coveted city check get they Privilege.
The red light camera people should be in charge of overall bill collection efforts. Very efficient bringing in the fines after they collect their fair share.
When you have a low life like the BJ the Mayor who doesnt pay his bills, ( talk about no responsibility and shows what kind of person you are) others follow his lead. This is the most corrupt, fucked up State and City in the country!!
For THEM, it is a badge of honor.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Those Chicago values they speak of...
In the 90's, there was a Commander, a.k.a. Claudell, in the 011th District who owed over 30k in water bills for his massive section 8 housing complex across from Garfield Park. He was also a reverend of a nearby church but couldn't connect the dots to pay water bills while collecting the government rents. His son Jason became a alderman raising your taxes every chance he got. The alderman's wife Melissa become a state representative who taxed her state's residents without fail. She is now your city's treasurer in control of the people's money. The same money collected from those who actually play by the rules. Rules for me- not rules for the elite democrat thee.
Are they still going after everyone for City Stickers or has that gone to the wayside too?
Who is it?
Catch this. The city treasurer Melissa Conyers-Ervin is sponsoring a Money Matters Institute workshop for residents addressing debt (don't ignore your registered mail), budgeting or structure paying your bills on time, strengthening credit paying off debt and lastly, building financial security if you can keep what you earn instead of sending your sweat equity to government officials for community re-investment. Interesting one of the sponsors BMO Bank was strong-armed by this current government official to give her husband alderman a loan for his aldermanic office along with other scandals involving her staff. She represents the people and their interests, right? Hurry sign up for tomorrows 100% free seminar. You may learn tips and clues such as government debt forgiveness and generous assistance programs available to the at risk, marginalized Chicago residents from certain zip codes

Yesh, unless your white. U get to teplace your lead pipes at full cost.
This just shows that the police are the whipping boys for the city.
If I have to pay all my city bills to keep my job, so should everyone of theses leaches!
Fire them all will send a clear message!
Leave the credit union.
When I worked a beat car on days, years ago, I would drive around every public school in the district and write books of parking tickets. The teachers and staff parked anywhere they liked and most had no city vehicle sticker. But, if the city excluded from hire everyone who owed the city money, who would they hire ?
Don't be afraid to name him. This is an anonymous blog...and he is a public employee. The people have a right to know.
Let’s not forget Chicago elected someone who owed the city of Chicago more than $4,000 in unpaid bills and fines — including $3,357 in water and sewer charges and $1,044 in traffic tickets dating back to 2014–2015. After nearly two years without paying, Conehead finally made a $91.08 payment on Feb. 13 toward his water bill. 💧
Fire them all
We even know of someone who was delinquent on his water bill and he had the nerve to run for mayor!
He's just keeping it real for his constituents, he feels their pain and suffering.
The reason many of us continued to use the Credit Union was because of the customer service with the tellers. They’re taking them out of the one on Pulaski. Also it’s ridiculous. No wonder people are getting away from it. The guy at the top Scott he’s really brainless. This obviously shows it.
So many of them are living in a suburbs, totally skirting the law, but conehead allows it because they bought him the mayor’s office
Dork
Never ashamed or embarrassed, but always a victim
Well, after reading this post, it’s blatantly obvious you fall into that “12th grader in Shitcago” category.
Take it out of their paychecks.
Cones says we are broke. I guess we’re not look at this. He must’ve found millions more to pay these clowns, friends and family plan or not need jobs. What a delusional hypocrite that can’t even pay his bills.

The credit union out south on Pulaski has really turned to shit since they let the cta in.
Only one teller at best, and last week, the only teller was on lunch, so you had to use the atm or nothing.
Its a pain in the ass to close out accounts & direct deposits but it'll be w worth it.
Brandon Johnson is the clearest example of an empty suit. Few brains, a deadbeat paying his bills, and a tool of the CTU. Can’t wait until he is out of office.
Feel-good story of the day!
Cornmutity needs reparations. BLM. Orange man bad. Well there go the white man agin blaming poor folk for not payin a boo shit biil
Mayor Johnson say we ain’t gotta pay shit.
I just enrolled my pension payments into my Schwab accounts and getting ready to close out the Credit Union, BYE!
C.T.A. slugs can keep the place as the credit union has lost their law enforcement focus!
Schwab is much bigger and safer [worth billions] and I can deposit my other checks through my mobile phone app and has more branch offices all over the country with tellers in case I need to get to one!
Can those 12th graders determine the difference between “succeed” snd “secede”?
Don’t give one red cent to these Marxist dirtbags.
