What a Difference 4 Days Makes

It's like night and day. Today's story:
  • The Chicago Public Schools inspector general has launched an investigation into senior staff's use of leased cars, including an SUV driven by schools chief Ron Huberman that's equipped with satellite radio and heated seats.

    The investigation was sparked by a Tribune story Sunday that disclosed Huberman's use of two taxpayer-funded cars -- a perk not available to previous school chiefs.

  • The story also prompted the administration to review its leasing program and discover procedures were not followed, said Monique Bond, schools spokeswoman.

    [...] "That department is responsible," Bond said. "I don't want to implicate any individual, but we found out that policies were not followed ... Those found to be responsible will face severe disciplinary action."

    [...] "Ron is upset that proper procedures were not followed," she said. "He's troubled. He's embarrassed, and he's angry."
  • Huberman's car and driver can be used by his senior staff, spokeswoman Monique Bond said. His personal car is to get to and from work, weekend events and school-related trips to Springfield, she added. Bond said Huberman worked at least 36 weekend days in 2009 , and has taken a handful of trips to Springfield.

  • On Saturday, Mayor Richard Daley said he was unfamiliar with the situation, but knows "Huberman will respond to that appropriately."

  • Bond said Huberman typically begins his day about 7 a.m. and doesn't end until 8 p.m., on average. She said it doesn't make sense to have a driver make trips to his home, and that it's more cost-effective to have a separate car.
And how about a photo to top it all off?

Hey look! It's Hubie and Mo'neeq wasting our fucking money! What a pair of pompous jagoffs.

The IG's office is full of flunky coverup political hacks, don't count on anything substantial coming out of this alleged investigation.

There is nothing legitimate about any investigation of the "CLOUT ONES"!

Translation:

Ron knows he has been using 2 cars even though all of his predecessors had one. He will , Instead of taking personal responsibility, blame someone lower for not telling him that he cannot have 2 cars. Even though Ron asked for them

See, all fixed.

OFF TOPIC: will the city send a contingent of police to help in Haiti? I know this may not seem like an important issue, but there are a number of officers on the Dept who are of Haitian descent. We can't save or police the world, but these people are among the most helpless. Just wondering. I have family there. They are homeless. Some are missing. There are about 9 mil people and only 8,000 police. If nothing else, can we at least show some compassion and pray for that country? How about that Pat Robertson saying they brought it on themselves b/c they made a "pact with the Devil" in the 1700's? WOW.

Are you soft? This department can't satisfy the day-to-day manpower minimum requirements for maintaining public safety for the citizens here and you want them to go to some 3rd world foreign country? How much assistance do we get from the Haitians when an earthquake, tornado or hurricane strikes here? ZERO, ZIP, NADA. We are not the police of the world, nor should we have to be the Band-Aid either.

There are many officers of German, Italian or other European descent too but we don't send over a contingency if there's a savage mudslide in the Alps and villages are wiped out, do we?

There are plenty of helpless and homeless folks right here in the USA that could use assistance too. Charity starts at home, remember?

You've got family there? If they're homeless, why don't you shoulder some responsibility and have them flown up here and let them crash at your place til they get back on their feet? How's that sound? If you were that concerned about them in the first place, you would have already booked their flight.

It was in a letter of agreement signed by the City after the murder of an officer killed during a traffic stop on Lake Shore Drive while working along during night time hours.

It was never in the contract, as you say, but was understood as something that would be honored. Nothing has happened that I know of since then to negate the intent of that letter of understanding.

As to where that letter is and how to get a copy, well, I just don't have that information.

This is something our FOP ought to be screaming about.

I heard not a peep of protest from FOP after PO Rick Francis was killed while working a one man car on midnights. Previously a wagon man, on the night of his death Rick was on a beat car, by himself.

1/15/2010 07:12:00 AM

WE argue that troop strength is down under 10,000. The City says we are a few hundred short. It is a moot point. There are one man cars, and worse, unmanned Beats, on every Watch in the City.

It doesn't matter if the City is thinning the Police Department ranks by attrition or if the current Administration is mismanaging available manpower.

Sending P.O.s out without backup or help from other cars is dangerous. There was a one man car in a shooting 2 nights ago. 2 or 3 years ago, that P.O. would have had a few cars helping and that shooting probably would have been avoided.

Get P.O.s back in the blue and Whites. Man those cars. Omnipresence is a deterrent and far less dangerous for your first responders.....if they care.

Remember Rick Frances.

Actually, to use his convoluted line of thought and expression, he needs to shut the hell up before God settles with him for talking shit.

BECAUSE THERE WERE NO FUCKING CARS FOR US TO USE!

Our Boss was not about to call in the Third Watch and let them go home early just to get their cars.

This car rotation does not work. We have do not enough vehicles to begin with and too many out of service. Fleet Management just isn't keeping up with the demand.

Maybe we can just mind our own business for once and let others do the heavy lifting! Maybe the French can step up to the plate?

I am amazed at the lengths the left will go to ignore any inflammetory rhetoric by muslims, or any other (special) ethnic,religious, or political group. But a Christian makes a comment and it is blown out of context until it takes on a life of its own!

I watched the entire broadcast with Pat Robertson. The whole broadcast he describes the poverty and suffering in Haiti and asks for donations to be pleged for Haitian relief.

Then he spends a few seconds talking about the Island nations history and relates a long held story of folklore that has been repeated and passed down for centuries about how some haitian witchdoctor made a deal with the devil. In essence, if the devil would help drive out the french occupiers the voo-doo witch doctor and the people would serve him for 200 years.Well the french left, and for 200 years Haiti has been the poorest nation in the western hemishere. He told a story and for the last 24 hours every media outlet is crusifying him.. "Pat Robertson said blah,blah,blah..the Devil..blah, blah, blah..they (haitians) deserve it, blah, blah, blah!"

Maybe there is some truth to the legend. Poorest country in the western hemisphere for 200+ years..just a coincidence?

Maybe you can go there and take a bunch of TMAs with you. They are good at yelling and acting like they are in charge!They'll restore order before rush hour ends.

'You've got family there? If they're homeless, why don't you shoulder some responsibility and have them flown up here and let them crash at your place til they get back on their feet? How's that sound? If you were that concerned about them in the first place, you would have already booked their flight.'

Hey asshole, flights to Haiti are restricted. The entire country is in CHAOS, and the govt. has collapsed too. I'm sure if that PO could get there, he would. If they could communicate with their family members WHO HAVE SURVIVED, I'm sure he would arrange to have them flown out to here, and I'm also sure he would find adequate housing for them when they got here. It's hard to believe that you're probably one of those coppers who will ride their motorcycle in rain or slush every December for "Toys for Tots" and yet show no compassion whatsoever for a fellow cop who has family living in one of the poorest countries within 500 miles of the borders of the US. I wonder if you would feel the same if it were Ireland, or Scotland, or Mexico.
People outside the Dept only have to spend a short time on this blog to see we have an abundance of hardened, uncompassionate souls breathing among our ranks. If you're a praying man, next time you do so, thank God this tragedy hasn't occurred to anyone in YOUR family. Yet.

OFF TOPIC: will the city send a contingent of police to help in Haiti? I know this may not seem like an important issue, but there are a number of officers on the Dept who are of Haitian descent. We can't save or police the world, but these people are among the most helpless. Just wondering. I have family there. They are homeless. Some are missing. There are about 9 mil people and only 8,000 police. If nothing else, can we at least show some compassion and pray for that country? How about that Pat Robertson saying they brought it on themselves b/c they made a "pact with the Devil" in the 1700's? WOW.

I agree.I am not Hatian, hell I don;t even tan well in the summer but this is a very sad situation. The Tsunami victims nor Katrina victims brought it on themselves. Mother Nature runs this mutha!

There's no extra money involved for being an inspector. The only real perk was, you were your own boss, you set your own hours, and of course, since your car was your 'office,' you had a take home car. I'm not sure, but I don't think they take the cars home anymore, or at least it was proposed. It would appear with the onslought of retirements that there will be less than a handful of them around by March. No extra Lts. or Capts. (and by contract, Capts. have to be considered for assignment to the position of Inspector now), it doesn't look like that division will be around much longer. If the WCs and Sgts. would do what they should be doing, you wouldn't have much need of them. As a Lt. who gets sent around regularly as a guest WC throughout the 25 districts, it's shocking and embarrassing to see some of the roll calls I attend.
Clearly, many of the WCs and regularly assigned sector Sgts. aren't looking at their officers on a regular basis at all. Supervision overall in the patrol division just sucks on so many levels.

One of the things that Booz-Alen study (1995-96) said was to eliminate Inspectors on the street. they are doing what Sgts and field Lt's are supposed to do.

They recommended keeping Inspectors to do audits etc but not to look for loose threads or the wrong color vest carrier. We have supervisors who are supposed to do that.

Plus, they know who is who's pet and, if they called the pet on an infraction, the pet owner will defend the pet. Without the inspectors, the pets would be running the asylum known as the CPD.

As another Lieutenant, from a busy district, who get sent on these "road trips" I am sometimes, well maybe "shocked" isn't the right word, at some of what I see at roll calls. It often has to do with the hairstyles, the long painted fingernails and even facial piercings on some officers. Not only does this look like hell but in a fight the hair gets pulled, the fingernails break and a piercing can rip up a face and leave a hell of a scar. I always warn them that this is a hazard, but as a "Guest WC" am I going to send home what the regular WC tolerates. Let's not get into facial hair and "bump cards".

What is worse is when I have to approve an arrest report. A lot of officers need Basic English 101 and "How to Explain Probable Cause." Some people must type their reports with their thumbs like some people type on this blob.

As a Visiting WC, most times it’s like a night off for me; but I have been to police involved shootings, squad car wrecks and I have taken care of officers as if they were my own.

Stay Safe, the most "shocking" thing is how undermanned the districts are, if we nit-picked everyone who would we have left, Big Bird?
