      <![CDATA[What has been been the GREATEST disease in the past 12& 1/2 decades, since my death in 1897? Is it corruption by the professional politicians or ignorance and apathy on the part of Chicago's citizenry who have ignored what I wrote in 1879/1880, namely, "Progress and Poverty", and "Social Problems", and one of my best activists, was, and has been ignored also, to my great dis-appointment mind you not of him but of his fellow Chicagoans, on North & Wells, Armitage & Sheffield, Armitage & Clark, & perhaps at other locations?  Perhaps, all of you could be more accepting & tolerant what he has to say? Do let him talk to you!!!  What could it hurt to listen to him? It could SAVE YOUR ECONOMIC LIVES! YES!!!

      <![CDATA[Since TIF's are defined as being funded by the ADDITIONAL tax revenues gained when, (presumably because of the use of said TIF funds within the designated TIF district's boundaries), the real properties within said TIF districts INCREASE in value, would it be accurate to say that the purposes of TIF's are NOT intended for providing ESSENTIAL city services? 
    
    And, if this is so, then, wouldn't it also be accurate to say that using the taxpayers' dollars for ESSENTIAL services takes priority over using them for NON-ESSENTIAL, projected and speculative goals?
    
    
    And would it further be accurate to say that, given the mayor's assessment of the dire need to close a $420,000,000+ city budgetary shortfall, that the appropriate and fiscally responsible action for the mayor to take would be to SUSPEND the expending of TIF fund assets, freezing these TIF NON-ESSENTIAL projects, and returning whatever amount of taxpayers' monies, being held in these TIF accounts, to the city's budget, until this supposed shortfall is covered, WITHOUT reducing ESSENTIAL services? 
    
    
    After all, TIF monies ARE our tax dollars. 
    
    
    How much of our tax money is currently being held hostage in the TIF account?
    
    
    How many citizens would choose to have these monies applied to this supposed budgetary shortfall, instead of the mayor's first choice of reducing city services and laying off ESSENTIAL city employees?
    
    
    And how about the mayor, and the city council members, and the daley machine's clout monkeys raking in $50,000 a year or more, providing the tax paying citizens with the example of belt tightening, by taking a 20% cut in their bloated salaries, just to get the ball rolling? 
    
    These many fat cats could benefit from a bit of belt tightening, being a bloated bunch of greedy gluttons isn't good for their circulatory systems.
    
    
    So, Ben, would you be so kind as to lay out how easily and effectively using the TIF slush fund monies could solve this alleged budgetary shortfall?
    
    
    All without having to raise any fees, taxes or fines?
    
    
    And all without having to reduce ESSENTIAL city services, like fire protection, emergency medical services, police manpower, refuse collection, street repairs, water services, sewer maintenance, etc., etc., etc......

      <![CDATA[20 years of richard Daley and people are starting to complain? 
    
    Get over it.  The waste and corruption finally caught up to the daley family.  DALEY should take the fall for the shit that will hit the fan, but he won't, because the village idiots keep voting for more waste and corruption.  So, when your services get cut, your aldermen shut their doors, stop the bytching and suck it up.

      <![CDATA[Must have touched a nerve.  Most cops were punks that got their asses kicked in high school and now want to be bad asses, thus all the brutality charges.
    
    Too bad the guy died, but his wife is better off with the $100K death benefit rather than an ultimate trip to divorce court.
    
    Why won't the cops take some furlough days like everyone else ?  When they start getting laid off, due to the budget shortfall in part to their brutalizing citizens, maybe they will realize they are not sacrosant.
    
    At least posting survive here instead of the annonymous coward that runs Second City Cop.

      <![CDATA[SCC might post your observations if they were actually observations, not merely the dishonest fabrications of your feeble imagination.
    
    
    If, as you imply, you've been a regular reader of SCC, you'd know that most cops disapprove of the city choosing to settle these bullshit lawsuits, filed primarily as a means to enrich the lawyers associated with either the daley corruption machine and/or the gangbangers who actually run many of the wards where these bullshit allegations stem from.
    
    Maybe your ignorant and asinine reference to the murdered officer and his companion prompted SCC to not post your blather.
    
    Maybe you're another of the daley ass suckers bent on stirring up bullshit, to help the mayor's crusade to destroy what little is left of our police force's ability to protect us citizens from becoming victims of you and your ilk.
    
    Maybe YOU are the problem.
    
    Tell us about the $600,000,000 stashed away in TIF funds, about the $500,000,000 cost overruns eagerly paid out to the mayor's favorite construction contractors, about the unaccounted for millions from the sale of the Skyway, the millions already wasted on the imbecilic bid for the 2016 Olympics, the many millions doled out to the many useless fucks padding every city department's 'mis'management teams, the millions stolen, misappropriated, misused and misspent, by you and your cohorts.
    
    
    Tell us all about who's responsible for this alleged budget shortfall of almost half a billion dollars.
    
    
    Besides the midget mayor and his clan of thieving rascals.

      <![CDATA[Cops ARE the problem.
    Paying out over $100 million in settlements for brutality suits are a big part of the deficit.
    
    Plus paying whatever this whoremonger that was recently caught cheating on his wife, will get when they try to say it was a line of duty shooting.  Line of duty my ass, he was out with his girlfriend and wearing his badge trying to impress her.
    What does a guy who works the bomb squad have to do on duty at that time of night with a woman other than his wife ?
    
    Second City Cop will not post these observations

      <![CDATA[Furlogh days from stealing for Victor Reyes, Tim Degnan, Jeremiah Joyce, Walsh Construction, McDonough Construction, Oscar D'Angelo, Mike Tadin, Freddie Barbera, Michael Marchese, Maggie Daley's friends Book stores, arsonist and murderer Elzie Higginbottom, Patrick Daley and cousin Vanecko--millions here and millions there (and in some case tens and hundreds of millions) you are stealing a lot of lot of money.
    
    Do about 4 days of furlough days a year from the above stealing.
    
    Also, Daley likes cameras, so we should put cameras in Daley's office or have a camera with him at all times with the exception of toilet and shower (for us and him) so we can catch him stealing with his friends or at least stop him.
    
    Than fire all the HDO workers, all the 19th ward, and all of the 11th ward and 8th and 29th ward workers.
    Hire back some of these workers who actually do work and know what they are doing which is few.
    That is more than 1800 workers there.
