      <![CDATA[Has anyone else been screwed by the City of Chicago Dept. of Revenue because their website failed to complete a transaction?  Then they stick you with a late fee and say that their policy is one that states that late fees are NEVER waved, even in the event that it is the city's fault.  Sounds like a revenue scam to me.

      <![CDATA[Now why would you object to the 'friends of grant park' sharing with us the obvious intention of the daley crew, that being to turn this town into an extrapolated version of Las Vegas?
    
    I'm all for it, as I stated in my comment.
    
    Although I would prefer that our parks remain true to that "...18th century idea....", said idea being more needed by the city's citizens than ever before.
    
    In fact, I propose the following:
    
    1. Legalize all 3 common vices, namely Prostitution, Gambling and Substances currently 'controlled/prohibited'.
    
    2. Using the powers of the zoning of the uses of real property, create zones where the 3 vices can be enjoyed and indulged in by whoever sees fit to do so.
    
    3. License, Regulate and Tax the providing of the goods and services that comprise the 3 vices.
    
    4. The specific locations of these 'vice zoned' properties would be proposed and then voted on by binding public referendum.
    
    5. The opportunities for employment will be as great or greater than those for tax revenues.
    
    6. The removal of these 3 vices from the communities currently suffering under their presence will, no doubt, be a welcome occurrence to the residents of same.
    
    7. The increase in tourism resulting from the legal availability of substances, sexual services and games of chance will satisfy even the most doubtful, as businesses of all kinds will benefit from the influx of foreign capitol.
    
    The subsequent revenues garnered from implementing the above will, no doubt, prove to be quite substantial and would likely reduce or eliminate the need for residential property taxes, sales taxes and the relentless pursuit of revenue through the punitive practices of the city's 'Revenue Department', via parking ticket quotas, etc.
    
    This city can be the leader of the movement to restore true individual freedom to this country's citizens, to finally remove the unconstitutional influences of the various religions over our laws and our society.
    
    That is, if individual freedoms are what the people want.

      <![CDATA[This is getting better and better.
    
    A museum for children on one end and a gambling palace on the other.
    
    Will the whore house be located somewhere in between?
    
    Where will the opium dens be located? And the crack cocaine rent-by-the-hour hotel? 
    
    Shit, if we open up this town to the three vices, legalized and appropriately taxed and regulated, we could eliminate the property and sales taxes entirely.
    
    Change the zoning of the public parks to a new category, that being a V for vice category, teach our kids that, contrary to what their parents have been telling them, there's a time and place for vice and the time is now and the place is here, and you've got a winning combination that will assure the reelection of those touting this plan for generations to come.
    
    Streets paved in gold, tourist dollars flowing into the city's coffers like wine, freedoms undreamed of by the previous generations, it'll make this city and county a paradise, akin to the historical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
    
    I can hardly contain myself, anticipating all the fun and frolic that awaits us all, gambling 24/7/52, tasty whores to relieve the stress from that occasional losing streak, the much needed availability of a variety of stimulants, to help keep the old eyelids open during those 24-48 hour binges at the craps table, then the sweet peacefulness of putting oneself into a narcotic induced coma once one has gambled away all one's assets, fucked one's roscoe raw and one needs the old batteries recharged, before heading back to one's country of residence.
    
    Thank you, 'Friend of Grant Park', you are truly a visionary.

      <![CDATA[Look, Parks are an old 18th century idea, we are in a new millennium. People no longer just sit around doing nothing at a park.
    
    These parks need to be developed into an interesting and interactive environment. I believe there are some good ideas about building a casino complex on the south side of Grant Park which would really help in bringing in tourist dollars.
    
    Adding the CCM and the Peace Museum (or maybe some others) to the north of Grant Park would balance things out. Ideally, some sort of restaurant complex near the fountain would really draw people in who want to spend money.
    
    We need a "new millennium" Montgomery Ward to draw up a new vision for an interactive park full of excitement and energy. Holding on to some old law that holds back imaginative development of such a useful area is backward looking.

      <![CDATA[You know, a lot of people here beat-up on Daley-- I'd say just about as many who defend him.  He is what he is like so many others-- because of the environment-- that he came form.  It all has to be put into context and really, the only fatal, fundamental defect that he has is that he is Irish-- otherwise, we should look at the man and what he's done and not done, in total, within the historical context of this city and its people.

      <![CDATA[The Daley administration claims that photos, GPS records, and falsified documents prove that Coconate was insubordinate and, as a water department inspector, failed to protect the public. The mayor's office also claims Brennan gave Coconate $75,000 without talking to his water department supervisor. 
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    My response to the Mayors Office: All GPS records, All Photos, and ALL of my Work product have never been given to my lawyers in Discovery. Insubordinate? I won Safety Awards 11 years (1993 to 2004) in a row and my real Supervisor (Mark Holder) praised my team work ability. Failed to protect the Public? Refer back to the Safety Awards.
    
    The Mayors Office claims Brennan gave award without talking to his supervisors: 
    Noelle Brennan couldn't talk to the Supervisors that fired me because they both resigned there positions due to lying in my appeal. Commissioner Pestka went to work for a cleaning company and Robert Sorich's aid Brian Murphy is now Asst. Chief of Staff for Mayor Daley.
    
    Also note: Safety Specilaist and my Co-Workers in the Department of Water Management (William Coclanes, Derwin Thrower, Alice Carter) all filed Shakman Claims with Noelle Brennan. Evidently I was not the only one who felt abused!
    
    
    Note to Judge in the Circuit Court handling my case:
    I WAS FIRED FROM THE CITY OF CHICAGO for bringing a Black man to the Northwest side of Chicago and promoting him to run for Mayor
