Watch this Smelly sandbags removed from North Side neighborhoodThursday, October 16, 2008 | 4:14 PM CHICAGO (WLS) -- Crews with Chicago's sewer department spent the day picking up sandbags left over from last month's flooding in the Albany Park neighborhood. Residents in the area have been complaining that the sandbags were rotting and had filled the neighborhood with a foul odor. Streets were flooded from four days of constant rain from Hurricane Ike. Water also seeped into hundreds of basements. Federal authorities are still processing claims from flood victims. (Copyright ©2008 WLS-TV/DT. All Rights Reserved.)

The Land around the South branch of the chicago river was designated as Bridgeport Village. The soil was contaminated with Industrial pollutants. We found a Developer,named Snitzer,and Had Ald Balcer,and John Daley Rezone the land. The remaining Factories around the designated sites that refused to sell,we had the Building Department write 100's of Violations. Christopher Kozicki and his Assistant Chief Inspector Rodriguez sent an army of Building Inspectors out force the holdouts to sell. The scheme fell apart when Snitzer refused to give Dipazza his rightful cut of the deal ,and went to the Feds. The city Building Commissioner Stan Kaderbek approved the permits,even though we had to cut a few corners to make the projects profitable. The list of partners grew as the projects matured. Fred Barbara and Tim Degnan want in and John Daley wanted a bigger cut. Snitzer wanted out but he was in too deep. We all knew nothling would come out of Snitzer's Federal compliant. We also have a connect in Federal Court and Patrick Fitzgerald slowed down after Mayor Daley's meeting with President Bush During his Birthday party. After the Election we will go back to business like nothling never happen.

Is Allied Waste Green or is it brown with HDO, Victor Reyes and indicted Al Sanchez? Is Bill Daley green with Waste Management? Was John Daley green with dumps and insuring Hired Trucks? We should look into all the green companies of Michael Daley

HDO is brown and dirty and has nothing to do with going green. Daley and his cronies are about green as is money.

When is Daley getting indicted? We have such a corrupt and incompetent city.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Daley corruption. Vote for McCain Keep Patrick Fitzgerald Indict Daley Convict Daley Send Daley to jail Send his cronies to jail Save taxpayers dollars Make Chicago more green

It is true that Obama will remove Patrick Fitgerald and Daley can hurt more people and steal more.

Obama did break his word on campaign financing. He has big money and some of that money wants something back. Lots of lawyers. I just don't trust Barack Obama

Evictions resume in Crook County. Tom Dart is nothling but a 19th ward phony. Dart's stay on eviction was basically a PR stunt. If Dart truely wanted to protest the miscarriage of justice ,he should have resigned his position. Dart is looking to move up in the corrupt Chicago political Machine. His pimping this issue is deplorable.

Mayor Daley, After Brian Murphy Foxgrover left your staff, I can't find anyone to take the kick back money. Should I go see Brian Murphy Foxgrover at the Police Department?

Tom Dart is a terrible Sherrif. He has no clue what is going on. Overcrowding is acute. Violence and drugs are rampant. It is still political. Morale for officers is very low.

Richie Daley was the same way at the Cook County States Attorny's office. He did nothing to hurt his friends and knew nothing to help the innocent. Tom Dart wants to be Mayor or Governor someday. The Sheriffs Office is just a career builder. T

Anita Alvarez and R. Daley would be a naturals as an Army torture interrogators,in the Middle East. Tom Dart is a punk. He imposes physical standard upon his men,that he himself cannot meet. I heard he cannot even shoot a gun,or pass a self defense course. In other words he is a capital "P"

Let Rich Remus and Tom Dart alone in a self defense course. I will put money that Dart does not emerge victorious. Remus would probably only break a bone or two and not kill him. Tom Dart is a wimp and should not be sherrif.

Complaint hits Rezko land deal Fired official says appraisal replaced Jerry Seper (Contact) Saturday, October 18, 2008 Comment Print Listen Font Size Share Got a Question? You Report Buzz up!EXCLUSIVE: Antoin "Tony" Rezko leaves federal court in Chicago in this Oct. 19, 2006, file photo. Mr. Rezko spent years pouring thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into Barack Obama's climb from the Illinois legislature to Capitol Hill, and helped him raise tens of thousands more. A former Illinois bank official, now claiming whistleblower status, says bank officials replaced a loan reappraisal that he prepared for a Chicago property that was purchased by the wife of now-convicted felon Tony Rezko, part of which was later sold to next-door neighbor Barack Obama. In a complaint filed Thursday in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Kenneth J. Connor said that his reappraisal of Rita Rezko's property was replaced with a higher one and that he was fired when he questioned the document. Mr. Connor, a real estate and commercial credit analyst at the Mutual Bank Corp. in Chicago, also noted in the complaint that the bank received a grand jury subpoena in October 2006 requiring it to produce information concerning Mrs. Rezko's purchase, including the bank's files on the property. The complaint also said that the grand jury wanted information on Mrs. Rezko's checking account and loan file and that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) had audited the Rezko file - although Mr. Connor's lower reappraisal had been replaced with a higher amount. "Connor's internal whistle-blowing activity at Mutual Bank implicates Mutual Bank and the potentially guilty officers thereof to prosecution under federal and Illinois statutes," said the complaint, filed by attorney Glenn R. Gaffney. The complaint said Mutual Bank officials could be guilty of making false statements, willfully overvaluing property, bank fraud, witness retaliation, willful violation of a lawful subpoena, FDIC violations, and state banking regulations. Mr. Gaffney, contacted at his office, declined to elaborate but confirmed that the complaint had been filed. "It says what it says," said Mr. Gaffney of Glendale Heights, Ill. According to the complaint, Mr. Connor reviewed the appraisal of the Rezko property by another firm, Adams Appraisal, which had set the value at $625,000. Mr. Connor's complaint said that he told his bosses in a report that the property had been overvalued by at least $125,000 and that a "reasonable and fair evaluation" should have been no greater than $500,000. Later, the complaint states, Mr. Connor observed that his lower appraisal was not in the Rezko file and that he notified his supervisors that it had been replaced. He said, according to the complaint, the new file had been reviewed by the FBI and "if the FBI were to ask me about such matters, I would tell them the truth. I never rescinded my original findings." Critics of Mr. Obama's dealings with Rezko charge that the senator may have gotten a deal on his property purchase, noting that Mrs. Rezko paid the full asking price for her property on an adjacent lot. Both of which were sold by a single seller. Mr. Obama bought his house for $1.65 million - $300,000 below the asking price. When the property was sold, Mr. Obama knew Rezko was under investigation on fraud charges. The complaint said the Rezko loan was approved by Mutual Bank President and CEO Amrish Mahajan and others so that Mrs. Rezko could buy a 9,090-square-foot vacant parcel of real estate. It said that in January 2006, Mrs. Rezko and Mr. Obama, along with his wife Michelle, signed an agreement to sell a 10-foot strip of the property to the Obamas. At that point, according to the complaint, Mr. Connor's firm asked him to conduct the reappraisal. The complaint said Mr. Connor is seeking $4.2 million for compensatory damages, plus unspecified punitive damages. Rezko was a key supporter and donor throughout Mr. Obama's political career, with the Illinois Democrat estimating that Rezko raised $250,000 for his various political campaigns, though not for his presidential bid. The two were friends who talked frequently about politics and occasionally dined out together with their wives. Rezko was convicted this summer on federal charges of using his clout with state government to squeeze kickbacks out of firms wanting to do business with the state. The charges did not involve Mr. Obama. Rezko is now cooperating with federal prosecutors in a continuing probe of corruption in Illinois government. Mr. Obama consulted Rezko, a real estate developer, before buying his home in 2005. As a state senator, Mr. Obama wrote letters endorsing government support of a Rezko housing project for senior citizens. Obama aides say he was simply supporting a project that would help residents of his district, not doing a favor for a friend. Jennifer Haberkorn contributed to this article.

We the citizens of this repressed city must first challenge the media. People have siezed media as a first step in overthrowing corrupt Governments. Even in The US people have developed Citizens Committees,to rid themselves to remove Outlaws like Daley from their community.

We deserve to know the truth about Rezko and Obama before the election. We don't want a Ryan v Poshard 98 debacle.

Damn that Frank Avila jr. Without him involved in the case, I would have walked away with a full pension. He put the heat on me!

What about the Cook County States Attorney,that worked with Burge,and his Assistants Dick Devine,Anita Alvarez. Did Daley have knowledge of Burge's activities.

John Burge picked out the black stallion. I(Rich Daley) picked up the large black shaft, and Anita held the balls up as Burge hit them with his cattle prod.
