Cleaning House?

Conehead is getting rid of people he doesn't like:

  • Three days after warning of a City Hall housecleaning fueled by disloyalty, Mayor Brandon Johnson broke out the broom.

    It happened quicker than anyone expected. In rapid-fire succession, the mayor’s office announced that Aviation Commissioner Jamie Rhee and Civilian Office of Police Accountability chief Andrea Kersten, both holdovers from previous administrations, were “retiring.” Also leaving is another holdover, OEMC director Jose Tirado, who has a job lined up.

    The Chicago Sun-Times reported earlier this week that Rhee was among those whose days could be numbered as Johnson seeks to act on his claim that he should have “cleaned house faster” when he took office and now plans to correct that mistake by sending people packing.

    “If you ain’t with us, you just gotta go,” the mayor said.

While every cop should applaud the firing of the CuckfOPA witch and the OEMC departure appears completely voluntary, the Aviation Commissioner is garnering assorted aldermanic praise, which may hint at Conehead making yet another misstep. The appointments he makes moving forward will tell everyone more.

One could be forgiven for noting the ::ahem:: "melanin deficiency" of all the persons leaving or being forced out though

Andrea Kersten should go down to New Orleans with Granny Clampett.

They could open up a nice lesbian owned business together like a homeless shelter for cats.

Will they be replaced 1-for-1 like they are at CPD? e.g. replacing a black female with a black female, an hispanic male with an hispanic male, etc.

they did this at ctu ... its fake theatrics ... they used these people to learn the systems and power areas within certain departments ... now will come some serious "restructuring" to get complete compliance from all workers across departments and vendors in the next year and a half ... before the election year there will be real firings of top performers to scare people into voting the right way ... might be a few wild situations thrown in there for distractions like a strike or a political confrontation

Tirado gave no notice. He fled the scene. Family illness? Another gig? Just plain tired of the bullshit? Maybe he did not agree with Conefled's vision of the future and decided to flee rather than have them take his idee card and company car keys before escorting him out of the building? It is not an unusual occurrence in Chicago city agencies other than CFD & CPD. Something had him jet out the door without even waving buh-bye. Hmmm?

I worked for a Fortune 500 Health Care company for 20 years (2002-2022). When I started, the IT division was 100% American; mostly Caucasian, with about 30% of the staff being very talented, capable minorities.

As a result of a merger in 2006, control of IT was given to an Indian immigrant. Very capable guy, with whom I enjoyed working. But by 2016, 90% of the IT staff was from India; about half working offshore, and the other half principally on bogus H1-B visas procured by high-volume body shops.

When merit is not a consideration (but loyalty is), people hire tribally. It has always been this way. For God's sakes, look at Detroit from the Coleman Young years forward.

Conehead's personnel policies shouldn't be a surprise to you at all. It happens everywhere in urban city government and (as described above) in many large corporations as well.

He is an idiot, This is what the airlines have been waiting for. The city has destroyed the airport over the last year. The terminal expansion project is so over budget the contractor has gone back twice to redesign the project. The mayor is looking to send his people out there too raid the bank, get as much money out of the airport through his friends and force United to move and have American shift major operations elsewhere . It is only a matter of time and O'Hare is done it is the next Gary. The city's only hope is Johnson gets indicted or put in jail by Trump. This ass clown is the biggest racist the city has ever seen. I can't wait for the CTU to get shut down too. They are on the news saying how Trump is attacking the children. They should all be in jail.

Federal Shadow Over Chicago: Unpacking the Jurisdiction in Lightfoot and Johnson's Alleged Missteps.

In Chicago's political landscape, where corruption has historically been as much a part of the scenery as the skyline, the latest chapter involves former Mayor Lori Lightfoot and current Mayor Brandon Johnson. They're embroiled in allegations that could invite federal intervention into local affairs, a twist that's as intriguing as it is potentially damning.

The crux of the matter is their suspected interference with Chicago's Inspector General, Deborah Witzburg, whose office has been digging into a slew of issues from ethics breaches to how the Chicago Police Department operates. But when the city's Law Department steps in, allegedly obstructing these probes, you've got the makings of a legal showdown.

One key area where federal law might step in is police accountability. The U.S. Department of Justice has the power to investigate local cops for rights violations, thanks to laws like 34 U.S.C. § 12601. Given Chicago's past, including the botched raid on Anjanette Young, the feds might just come knocking again if new dirt surfaces.

Then there's the corruption angle. If Lightfoot or Johnson's actions whiff of wire fraud or campaign finance shenanigans, especially if they've used the U.S. mail or crossed state lines, expect the FBI or U.S. Attorney's Office to take an interest. Chicago's history with political graft means this isn't a stretch by any imagination.

The obstruction of justice charge is another angle where federal law could take the stage. If there's any hint that local officials tampered with witnesses or blocked federal probes, this falls under 18 U.S.C. § 1505, making it a federal case.

Civil rights violations could also pull federal agencies into the fray. If there's a pattern of rights abuses or discrimination that the feds can't overlook, you might see the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ stepping up to bat.

Now, with a new administration, how this plays out could swing in different directions. But the potential for federal crimes in these allegations means this isn't just a local squabble; it's a national one, where the law's long arm might reach from Washington to Windy City.

Watching this saga unfold, it's a stark reminder that in America, no one's above the law, no matter how high their office. Whether this ends in federal court or stays local remains to be seen, but one thing's clear: Chicago's political playbook is under the microscope like never before.
The feds are investigating.

Good riddance to Kersten, but don't expect her successor to be any different. The groundwork was laid as to what kind of office COPA is and will continue to be-anti police. They are determined to right all the perceived wrongs of the department's past. When they get an investigation, you will be guilty of something, guaranteed, even if it's something not within the pervue or the scope of their investigation, that's just the way it is now. You will then receive an over-inflated disciplinary recommendation, or they will recommend termination (they do that a lot). Nothing is going to change.

The problem is “merit” in Chicago has been warped to mean “diversity” which ends up being almost no diversity as far as white people are concerned.

Maybe for you. Gotta love being in a cush unit with zero stress for the last 10 years. Ton of OT while floating til 55/healthcare later this year. Work out on the clock, too. This job (nope, it ain’t a career - hasn’t been for decades) is what ya make of it. The old timers who trained me many moons ago had it right when they said “treat this job like a whore, kid”. Wish I woulda listened to their wisdom earlier.

Foxx does not need to be a lawyer in good standing to be head of COPA nor is the head of COPA restricted from that position because of the 5 year rule. However, she lives in the burbs and it's unlikely she would comply with Chicago's residency rule to qualify for employment with the City of Chicago.

OT: Register Students, not Guns!

Indiana teen accused of plotting Valentine’s Day school shooting was obsessed with the Parkland mass shooter, police say

Shockley is charged under the name Trinity but is transgender and goes by the name Jamie, according to an affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate WISH. It’s unclear which pronouns Shockley uses.

[…]

An affidavit says Shockley was grieving the recent death of their mother; had been bullied at school after being hit by a drunk driver; felt guilt after learning about that driver’s suicide; and became fixated by mass shooters, police said.

It is the company the city hired to over see construction at O'Hare ( CCA ) They cut corners every chance they get, Their workers fly in from all over to work at O'Hare for a couple days then fly back, Most know nothing about design or construction. The city is paying over 4 million a month in salaries to these people. They just finished Terminal 5 and the management company for the terminal has told city officials they should sue CCA and Powers for all the things that are wrong with the Terminal. Building systems (fire, cctv. heating, cooling, finishes that are coming apart) they never worked or keep breaking down. The guy for the city who was in charged of got fired right after that,But they keep paying this CCA to build these new terminals. This is why the airlines want to pull out of O'Hare.

To the idiot(s) that keeps posting and hoping for Kim Foxx to take over COPA. Sorry, not gonna happen. You must be a COPA clown praying for her to get the nod. Even if they made an exemption for her residency ( she lives in Flossmoor with a backup condo in the east Loop,)she would never get the support. If they waive residency for her ,then they would have to do it for a lot of the mayors cabinet, like Lightfoot did. Lots of aldermen, especially the ones that hate Lightfoot and Preckwinkle, will put the kibosh on it. All of her dirty conduct, WILL be exposed and fair game in council hearings...like her failed malicious prosecutions of cops ;her physical abuse/ beatings of her husband, covered up courtesy of Flossmoor PD; her failure to do the work to keep an active law license; the Jussie Smollett cover ups; her collusion with Obamas to subvert the law; her payoffs from George Soros; and her worshipping of gangster rappers, one of which has been charged with multiple murders. Plus lots of neighborhoods hate her for releasing criminals back into their communities. So let her throw her oversized hat in the ring...I'm gonna grab a big box of popcorn and watch the fireworks.
