Pay to Play

So you want to know who contributes to whom in the Illinois political system?

Open Book

An interesting little program provided by the Illinois State Comptroller. Of course, it's a political site by an elected official in the State of Illinois. But mildly interesting at the moment. How long it'll stay up is another question.

Thanks SCC.

This is a very interesting website.

It's interesting to see the abundance of financial incest there is among politicians.

I did a cursory search of Burton Natarus. It seems for the last number of years he's contributed to every democrat in Cook County several times at $1,500 a pop.

So the drill seems to be they have to kick back a decent portion of the money they collect from big donors that expect something in return for the big donation and then launder that money around to all there relatives for donations under the limit to Friends to (Enter Alderscumbags name here).

It all gets even more oily because are allowed to use that money to finance another Friends of Scumbag committee tax free.

That shit has got to stop.

It is not what the Founding Fathers of this country envisioned and if it continues these assholes are going to sell this country out. I hope it's not too late.

This is the kind of thing any local media doing there fiduciary responsibility to inform the public would be writing about or airing over and over if they were doing there job.

Interesting. I guess you can now figure out peoples clout.

I always wondered why a certain Detective (RD) always got good spots (FBI Task Force, DNA Unit) and got out of all of his CR #'s that should have gotten him shit-canned. One of his brother's trucking companies was named in the hired truck scandal. His brothers business contributes to a few political funds. Now I know.

the local and national news media has a true socialist agenda and if you haven't realized that by now, you really don't even need to drink any Kool-Aid, you are already there.

Fr. Pfleger's contributions are interesting. For a Priest, he's very involved in politics. I thought he only cared about his flock?

Dear Father Mike,
You can't serve two masters.

SCC HOW YOU MISS THIS BOND FUCK UP.

Bond questioned why the prosecutors waited more than a month before filing the initial complaint, saying the claims against the officer were based on "conflicting statements." She said prosecutors should have notified the officer's supervisor the same night. "It's not to say [Haleas] didn't do it, but it's almost a 'he said, she said,' " Bond said. "But on the procedural element, to err on the side of caution, we sustained it."


"But on the procedural element, to err on the side of caution, we sustained it."

sustained on the side of caution. WHAT THE FUCK

Will someone please tell the Mayor that his appointee "Monique Bond" is looking like a bigger idiot every day. Will someone put her in the re-tread class at the academy so she at least a fighting chance to know what she is talking about.

You mean part of the criminal enterprise "Daley Inc"? with multiple jets and 2 brand new high tech copters? Guess these criminals do whatever they want to do as always! The feds have been quiet lately maybe a prelude for the "daley surprise"?

I'll miss Monique when she's gone.

I do have a career alternative for her, but SCC will not let me post it, even though it is legal.

Maybe that's a good thing.

She would cost me way too much money.

To 12:33 AM -- my money is on Ruthie, she'll kick that lard ass Mag's ass. He full of hot air. He's stupid and can't keep his mouth shut. She's conniving and a cut throat who will stop at nothing to be the Commander of 022. Unfortunately, she does not have Jennifer working at headquarters keeping her up on all the gossip and who to get chummy with to keep her career light lit. Tom Hynes and Jim Heffernan can't keep carrying that lard ass Mag's -- they got him good assignments and a merit captain rank -- enough is enough.
