Hey, Ald. Moore, where's that quote/unquote 'living wage' you're fighting for? We're still waiting pal.

The mayor wouldn't wipe is wiggly fanny with 'No Duck No Geese' Moore.

Alderman Moore should be ashamed of himself for being an obstructionist. As a mechanics liens attorney and supporter of Barack Obama, I am embarassed by Joe Moore's inability to function as a man.

Mick, in your previous post you say "If we had one -- just one -- alderman willing to consistently speak as strongly as Citizen Gordon [...]". We *do* have one -- his name is Joe Moore and he *did* both speak out forcefully and vote against the relocation of the children's museum. He constantly challenges the mayor, and has been doing so for *years*. So to herald Gordon's one speach at a public meeting where anyone can spout off on anything you wish with no repercussions and no accoutability to Joe Moore's years of speaking out and day-in-day-out work on things like whistleblower protections and an independent office of accountability etc. is really very, very silly.

Tom, I see you and Joe Moore have something in common -- you both support Barack Obama. But unlike you, Moore actually *does work* to help Barack's campaign, as opposed being like you and just using his name to give credibilty to your slander.

Joe's blowing something... but it sure aint no whistle.

Go back to myfoxnew and search Obama endorses Daley and it will make you laugh , I promise

Frank Coconate and Peraica?

I respect both Frank Coconate and Tony Peraica. They are both promoters of Honest, Good Government. Frank Coconate was punished for asking a African American to run for Mayor. Cook County government would have been better served if Mr. Peraica would have beaten Todd Stroger.

CoCoRAT is the source of all these stupid fox reports. The info was relayed to him from avilas office by the hateful lawyer baby avila. avila had misused his position and the public trust. CoCoRAT please answer these questions - 1. are you the fox tv source? 2. did you get your info from avila? 3. does avila pay your kids school tuition? 4. does baby avila do your legal representation free of charge? 5. did avila give you a job once at MW? CoCoRAT this is not a CofC water management report where you lied and gave false information and got fired and rightfully so. but be honest this time. CoCoRAT beware now we are watching you and avila. your turn to be exposed. soon everyone will see you are the joke.

Now, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? It's always pervertedly impressive, how the biggest liars, cheaters, thieving schemers, connivers, manipulators and brown noses have the chutzpa to post statements like "....but be honest this time.". Take your own advice, if you dare.

"He [Moore] constantly challenges the mayor ... " This assertion is conter-factual. Moore's voting record is overwhelmingly rubber-stamp, back-bench, pro-Daley, punctuated once or twice a term with ineffectual though highly-publicized stunt votes. Those stint votes are apparently enough for Moore and his apologists to spin an alternate reality in which Moore is the lost son of Leon Dupres.

"[Don Gordon's] ... main criticism of me was that I was too critical of the mayor," said Moore Moore's characterizations of his opponent's positions are unreliable. No one who is familiar with Moore's City Council voting record would assess it as overly at odds with Daley, rather, Moore chooses to occasionally poke Daley in the eye on issues of no significance to his constituents.

The 'cocorat' & Avila connection is interesting. If Avila really provided news information for some sort of personal gain I would imagine this is unethical in some sort of way. If his son was involved passing on this information it may be possibly crimminal because of its attempt to cause harm. I would think it is certainly worth examining. If guilty Avila should resign before he runs for reelection.

Hugh, That goes for ALL Alderman. They talk a good game, than vote with the Mayor like a house of cards. Alderman Joe Moore sponsored the WhistleBlowers act. When I went to him after I was fired from the City in 2005 , I wanted to file as a whistleblower. Alderman Moore blew Pat McDrunkin, Charles Walker,Jimmy Osborne and I off! The result is,it sent a message to all City Workers to shut up when they see corruption.

Peter, I suppose you believe in santa too!

49th is not an Island onto inself July 26th - 6:06 p.m. Hey Guys the problem is bigger than your vacillating Alderman. The Daley Machine is the problem. The city will soon have massive layoffs , due to corruption more than a bad Ecomony. Bad Management waste and corruption,will have us all living in a tent cities, or living behind our locked doors with loaded weapons. When some of us are living under viaducts and watch the clout drive by in Free Government vehicles, then we will know what clout is.

Lying Joe Moore to get a job with the Obama administration? Damn, here I was all set to apply for the post of chief popcorn popper in the White House Theater Room (which would be the only administration post Moore could handle without further screwing up this country)! Hopefully, President Obamawill rid the 49th Ward of the scourge that is Joe Moore by insuring that enough investigators nail Moore's butt in federal court. Rest assured, given Moore's track record, that will not be that difficult.

People were starting to think he is a loser again. Go Franky.

Glad , People always think of me, and not as a loser. I am everthing they wish they could be. Someone with the balls to stand up to the bully politicians. They attack me because they fear me. My website is not my strength , knowledge is my best weapon. Thats why the MWRD is in trouble now. Next.......

CoCoRAT is a scab for kass and brown. stories on banks and deleo are no accident. CoCoRAT planted them. CoCoRAT says he is guoted when he rats on someone and that is bullshit. CoCoRAT is a idiot but not dumb enuf to take the blame.

I posted yesterday about Don Gordon...and that prompted alderman Joe Moore to give me a ring. "Looks like you're endorsing Don Gordon," he told me. Did Moore read your post? He thought it was an endorsement? This is typical Moore. Moore probably called your editor when he was done with you. Moore is very jealous of his image. We would all be better off if Moore put into his ward a fraction of the effort he puts into haranguing the press.

"Well, as long as I have you on the phone..." Well, Ben, while you had one of our esteemed Village Elders on the horn, did you ask, How about your one lonely vote against the LaSalle TIF district? From your vote in favor of every TIF district and every TIF project before & since, apparently it was not a harbinger of a policy shift. What's up with that? What were your thoughts when you voted in favor of Daley's $500M City bond guarantee for the Olympics? O Great Leader of the City Council Progressives (Just Ask Him), any breaking news on your efforts to hire a budget analyst? Um, any breaking news at all? Anything?

Will you vote in favor of extending the Central loop TIF? What is your reaction to the IVI-IPO recommendation of a moratorium on TIFs? Will you seek the IVI-IPO endorsement in the future? Will knowing that the IVI-IPO will be most likely be including a candidate survey question on TIF and looking at TIF voting records of incumbents affect your support of TIF going forward?

Will Alderman Moore question the short fall of $400,000,000.00 in the 2009 budget. How much of that is due to O'hare expansion? Remember Daley borrowed $500,000,000.00 in 2007 to pay off debts for the Expansion project! To all City Workers , keep hiding and keeping your mouth shut, your Unions will take care of you. HA! Ha! Ha!

The simple truth is that Joe has run the 49th ward in such a way that he can no longer achieve full community support. In the first elecction, more than half of the voting public stated they wanted Joe fired. Can you imagine that after more than 15 years in office? Half of your "customers" want you fired? Joe then proceeded to spend record amounts of money for a little neighborhood run-off, dragging in the unions to bully for him and otherwise pull every lying, dirty trick in the book to ultimately pull ahead by a couple hundred votes. His response is behave like the smug to anyone he perceives as a non-supporter. Just like he called you to draw that line in the sand, to make you declare which side you are on. His actions are so remarkably slimy and his performance so below par that there is no way in hell the "them" half of his ward will ever support him. Therefore, Joe is in a constant state of battle. It's impossible for him to build consensus, so he'll never get community-wide support for anything. At least half of his ward will always be against anything he proposes. They will also be suspect of his true motives. And that, if you think about it, is why he can never do his job effectively. And don't even get me started on his efforts to undermine Mayor Daley. Joe simply isn't bright enough to even play in that game.

Joe's support of Jim G. might be the best example of his approach to being alderman. Jim was the first guy knocked out of the last aldermanic election; however, he's willing to suck up to Joe, so that's the guy Joe is going to back. Joe surrounds himself with folks less competent than himself because they won't challenge him. That's why the 49th ward is stuck with a bunch of idiots trying to run the place. And of course he's looking for a new job. I think Joe knows he'll never be fully supported in his current position. He's blown it and needs to go elsewhere.

The world does not evolve around the 49th ward. A solution to the problem is term limits on everyone in the Council including Daley. My question to Coconate is,will he organize to get rid of Daley,and not wait until the last moment,to hit the streets.

Hey Coconate!!! I like your music selection. There is one tune from Sly that we all forgot remember the tune "STAND". Many people forgot to remain free from the likes of Daley we must stand. We don't have to stand tall,but we must STAND.

Look Guys, yes! Back in the Day, Thats why I picked that song. When that song was out, people had guts to stand up!

Last time I saw Joe (donuts at the Morse L right after the runoff) I asked him why 80% of his campaign contributions come from outside the ward, and he said it was because he can't raise enough money inside. . . Check the campaign contribution records -- Joe represents North Shore real estate dealers and contractors. That's without getting into the lying ACORN fliers his buddies at SEIU/ACORN (it's one office) stonewall and lie about.

oh BTW in your list of links to lunatic Rogers Park blogs in your lede you missed this treasure http://rogersparkcheetos.blogspot.com/

"Back in 1990, when former alderman David Orr became county clerk, Daley selected Bob Clarke over Moore, Orr's preference for the vacancy. One year later Moore defeated Clarke in the regularly scheduled aldermanic election ... " Daley appointed Clarke in December, 1990. In a multi-way race in February 1991, Clarke forced Moore into a run-off. Moore narrowly defeated Clarke in the run-off April 2, 1991, the 2nd closest race of Moore's career.

SEUI video. Excellent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tigqAjyS4jY

If the only problem you guys have is a potato chips bags on your lawns move to Englewood,AND DEAL WIth some real issues.

Do you know if Obama is elected Mayor ,Daley will be the most powerful man in the US. Daley will take his Bridgeport Hamburgs, to new heights. Valarie Garrett will be Obama's top adviser. Valarie torn down the Robert Taylor Housing Projects ,which was named after her Grandfather. David Axelrod will become a God. Bill (downlow) Daley will get anything he wants. The only thing in the way of Daley and his Hamburgs is a rusted old rum bucket Irishman.

If Daley has his homey OBama as president, that will be two powerful Irish politicians. Maybe Jan Pestka will be the Secretary of Defense and get rid of coconate wilh jet planes this time. Dear God, thanks, once and for all!!! O'Connor will put us in the right direction in the 41st Ward.

Your right mcdonough, mary o'connor will keep everything the same. Todd Stroger, Mayor Daley, high taxs, lay-offs of City workers, 4 day work weeks. Yes Mcdonough the 41st ward is in the same direction as everyone. Working class families being eliminated! You are smart to have helped her.

McDonough is brilliant!

If Oreo likes you , you have became a true Daley Nagger!

What a joke. coco thinks being a rat is having balls. coco is nothing more than a jealous creep. Ben and Mick how about a forum on coco and his relationship with the dos avilas. Let them answer the questions.

Coco confuses balls with his pea brain.

Ben/Mick I would welcome any forum with Frank Avila Sr and Jr. As long as people that ask quetions give there names. The Daley people love to attack from behind. If you know what I mean. Lets have the forum in DesPlaines at Pat McDonoughs house. His wife is a great hostess and Pat McDonough can shine our shoes while we are talking.

Daley is now grooming his kids and his brother kids toward keeping the taxpayers in bondage. He may soon have the white house. The Hamburg gang started under his father is a secret cult. The Whiteboys from Bridgeport are riding a dark horse, to take their cheap show on the road. While you guy engage in your petty feud, Daley and his forces are robbing us and taking away are freedom

It takes 2 to tango. On one side, we have the Daley minions, primarily 'orion', '11th man' and the "to the first degree" piece of work, and, on the other hand, there's Coconate and, under various monickers, Patty McDonough. These are the main knuckleheads playing blog-pong. It's disappointing that other, slightly more numerous posters with intelligence and insight have allowed the above miscreants to substantially abandon utilizing this blog for it's intended purpose, namely, generating the width and breadth of discourse and input from the readers. Apparently, the visitors to this blog don't have nearly the passion to express their opinions, thoughts and ideas as those who regularly visit, and comment, the SCC site: http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/ Perhaps because there is a difference between those who only think, and those who both think and act?

"Sonny, when are you going to pay me back"? You owe everyoneone money!Coconate will lose his case against the City cause he took the $75,000.00 shakman money! He signed his rights away. Daley won that round. Coconutty was a sucka to bring jeese to Park Ridge, not chicago. Go back to bensenville CoCo, Chi-town will not vote for you! HAAA HAA. Sucka!

See what I mean? Are the intelligent, thoughtful guys and gals going to let these miscreants piss and shit all over this blog? The editors of the Reader may not choose to delete this nonsense, but they don't have to; all those with valid comments have to do is post them, and ignore the babbling of the mentally ill. Any takers?

lets keep sight of the big picture, I have kept my eye on the prize since 1998. I knew than what the Irish Outfit had in it's plan. It's hard to beat them when most people are scared to stand up. The majority does not like the Daley's, but until there is a alternative, the Daley's will continue to roll over people . I will continue to throw road-blocks, but it's hard enough to overcome Daley's spin doctors, than you have a idiot that I helped , helping the Daley's destroy me. Pat McDonough was created by Frank Avila and I, we are both sorry we did it! In regards to observer, People come to this board for the free buffet of information. if you don't like it , to come on it! It's not our fault intelligent, thoughtful guys and gals like lust more than making love.

Kida like a good diner. After the good story comes the shit.

Call me Frank! We have no case without you. Sorry we fired you. Keep the 75K! We will keep the pension.

PS: I just got a raise.... Poochie is happy.

Avila is honest, he has nothing to do with coconate and Gatorbangers. Avila is a girt from god.

Was there an Obama-Daley deal on the Presidency? Checkout poligazette.com/2008/03/09

is yes The Daley Machine will ride the Black horse to the White house.The Nation should brace itself for Bridgeport Hamburg rule. I even heard reports that the cross town Expressway plans will be dusted off and revived. Bill (Downlow) Daley will get another cabinet post,Maybe Sec of Transportation

You make some interesting point regarding the Obama -Daley connection. Remember the Daley have always prided themselves on being kin makers. Old man Daley was responsible for JFK'S election. He was rewarded with Highway and CHA money where the Machine grew 100x fold.

Frankie Coconut being the 41st ward alderman????????. 49th ward redux. Section 8'er's infesting the usually peaceful area, Crime going sky high, Open air drug markets, etc. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!. And Peraica as State's Attorney would do SHIT about it, He'd laugh & gloat at it. Whilst protecting his LILYWHITE suburbia town.

Put down your crack pipe before you post.

.......LOOK at the TIME YOU POSTED, You SERIAL prowler........And PLEASE, Go share your CRACK PIPE with Marko "The Gangsta Hip-Hop Thug DJ" Peraica. And get MORE fugged up........

Frankie "Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs" Cocoshitty.

I'm glad I'm not the only reporter that Ald. Moore calls up and yells at. Careful, boys, this may go into your file.

Randall, Could part of your venom come from being a Cook County patronage worker? Did Todd tell you to write and attack Joe? After all, you are one of his few literate employees
