      <![CDATA[Its about time the Mayor was made to pay for the corruption.  $12 million for sending patronage workers who were working on taxpayers dime to help re-elect people like Matlak is illegal. Period. I want the alderman who benefitted from the patronage work to pay up or get out, or pay us back if they are out.

      <![CDATA[Don't put the blame on anyone expect the people who committed the crimes.  Matlak and Tomczak had their fun at taxpayers expense, and once again the taxpayers foot the bill. The story is that the city had to agree to the federal monitors decisions.  Don't worry though, the Mayor cut $20 mill from his budget to pay for it this week.

      <![CDATA[Something very interesting has happened during the past 24 hours.  
    
    
    First, CBS 2 Chicago reports that Cook County State's Attorney candidate - who ran as an "independent outsider" - relied on support from key members of the scandal-plagued Hispanic Democratic Organization (HDO) for her recent fundraiser.  At that same fundraiser, Ms. Alvarez posed for a photo with fugitive from justice Jorge Montes de Oca - and that same photo appeared on the cover of last week's edition of El Dia newspaper.
    
    
    In a move of shameless desperation, Ms. Alvarez labeled State's Attorney candidate Tony Peraica a "racist" for "insinuating" her ties to the HDO.
    
    But, in terestingly enough, Ms. Alvarez confirms those same ties to the HDO in a Daily Herald story this morning.  Further, she confirms that not only did HDO leaders Eddie Acevedo and Tony Munoz attend her recent fundraising event - but that Acevedo helped emcee the event!
    
    And she still hasn't answered why she posed for a picture with Montes de Oca, a fugitive from justice at the time, who was arrested this week on charges of writing more than $50,000 in bad checks.
    
    We invite you to watch this troubling situation unfold firsthand by viewing the CBS 2 Chicago report here ... and then reading this morning's Daily Hera ld story.
    
    
    These reports confirm what we have known all along - that despite her claims of independence and reform, Ms. Alvarez has consistently relied on support from political insiders to further her political career.
    
    Let's look at some interesting tidbits:
    
    Ms. Alvarez recieves political contributions from major county contractors - mostly law firms - for her Primary Campaign.
    Ms. Alvarez has a pre-election sit-down with Mayor Daley (she confirmed this Fox Chicago Sunday) and scores a "surprising" win in the Daley-controlled 11th Ward.
    We now learn of her support from the HDO - which operates strongly in that same 11th Ward.
    
    For those of you who are unfamiliar with the HDO ... this troubled organization has long been knwon as City Hall's political enforcement arm, and was run by indicted former top Daley ai de Al Sanchez.  Acevedo is an HDO leader, and Munoz has reportedly been a major recipient of campaign contributions from Hired Truck scandal contractors.

      <![CDATA[WOW
    What a great show with Avila and Laski.  That is incredible.
    Laski should run for Mayor.
    Frank Avila should replace Diane Burns and make 3 million.

      <![CDATA["The money that went to the Duffs was going to go to SOMEBODY for the cleaning contracts, minority or otherwise, so it would have been used to fill potholes either"
    
    Riiiiight.  And I'm sure the work would have done as cost-effectively as possible.
    
    Anyone remember the story of City-purchased asphalt being sold on the side?

    We're not in the market for your snake oil, orion.  Corruption costs taxpayers big money.
