Jaime Hernandez Hired Truck Owner Speaks Up

Jaime Hernandez Aztec Trucking, Inc.jpg
From all gossip, we can conclude, Chicago’s Sun-times article exposing the Corruption and Clout in Mayor Daley’s Hired Truck Program was brought a screeching halt, the “Hired Truck Program” was terminated on Friday September 15, 2006. Many contractors are out of the scandal plagued programs that made some insiders millions of dollars. I think the program will morph into something else to keep the insiders rich. One Chicago Hired Truck Contractor was squeaky clean and made it to the end of the program. He and his books were examined by the Chicago Inspector General, the F.B.I., and the Internal Revenue Service. Jaime Hernandez owned Aztec Trucking, Inc. Please use this company that is MBE and DBE certified. His company phone number is 312-215-5990. We completed a long video tonight and look forward to some things this man had to say. After talking to Jaime I came to the conclusion, the less business you got from the Chicago Hired Truck Program, the more legit your business was.

Union Workers Shop Costco Daley's Big Box Veto

Costco Sign.jpg
I know Mayor Daley’s face has a southern slack jaw inbred look to it, but when I saw the front page of the Chicago Sun-Times on September 14, 2006, I confess I almost vomited. Daley has some teeth growing in all sorts of directions. Well let us look at the issue of the big box ordinance. Chicago’s City Council started doing their job after letting the Mayor’s Administration run wild with taxpayer’s money for years. An ordinance passed which the majority of Chicago aldermen wanted and the majority of Chicago citizens demanded. Big box is not a big deal per se, because I feel the unions have an obligation to organize. They have blown years of organizing and have been in bed with Mayor Daley far too long. Chicago Unions could make a good start by requiring all labor laws on the books are enforced. Some unions do a poor job protecting the rights of Chicago city workers. Phony minority companies are non-union and receive millions of taxpayer’s money but pay their workers a sub-standard wage. Why is Tadin of Marina Cartage given 1.1 million dollar insider deal in the 11th Ward? Tadin is non-union, but I was told by one of his workers he has some union guys. I saw Tadin’s Water Tank Trucks on the Dan Ryan construction project. Tadin is one of Daley’s buddies, was the unions told to back off organizing Tadin’s trucking empire? Daley is in lots of trouble with the FEDS, was a deal made with George W. Bush to veto the Big Box Ordinance for leniency on the Criminal and the illegal use of Clout? Mayor Daley is a “George Ryan” Democrat and a disgrace to all working families. We call the Daley’s “Lace Curtain Irish”, because they forgot their roots are in Ireland. As for Daley using the race card by having a bunch of poor blacks on stage with him, what would you expect from people that are the product of his failed school system? Would you expect the poorly educated to expect a fair wage, look at the poorest areas of the United States, they are anti-union and live in squalor. Thanks to the sky high taxes in Chicago expect to have both parents working, expect poor schools, and more families with no electricity. Daley is a “RAT” on his non-union veto.

Wayne A. Strnad Citizens for Community Action

Wayne Strnad.jpg
At most community events concerning the betterment of government you can count on Wayne Strnad’s participation and involvement. When my “since than reversed” termination with the City of Chicago Department of Water Management, Wayne stood by my family’s side to let people know the firing was a retaliation for my whistleblowing activities. Wayne was at the TRAC meeting September 14, 2006 to protest the massive tax increases in Chicago. Wayne uncovered massive vote fraud and claims Daley’s buddy Dick Devine (Cook County State’s Attorney) did nothing about it. Gee… you mean the same guy that hired Alexander Vroustouris runs a clout and corruption free office? Visit Wayne at.. http://www.citizensforcommunityaction.org/ Photo by Patrick McDonough

TRAC Tax Reform Action Coalition and Rep. John Fritchey

Trac Event.jpg
On September 14, 2006, a large group of citizens gathered at the Humboldt Park Boat House in Chicago. Speaker after speaker demanded something be done about the sky high taxes in Chicago. These folks had nothing good to say about Mike Madigan or Rich Daley. They feel they are forced out of their homes and much of the cause is government waste. Also the group is concerned about the expensive new homes and condos invading the neighborhoods. One of the people at the front of the picture is John Fritchey. John Fritchey is the State Rep. of the 11th District and is very honest and ethical. John as usual had a superb appearance, I sure he could go into the gigalo business if politics did not work out. His blog is: http://www.johnfritchey.blogspot.com/ I am really surprised the event was not covered by more of Chicago Media, I guess they are busy with all the corruption and clout in Mayor Daley’s Administration. Was that Wyane Strnad in the background? Photo by Patrick McDonough

J. Terrence Brunner and Michael "Mike" Quigley

Mike Quigley and Terrence Brunner.jpg
On September 14, 2006, I was again looking forward to my school night at Roosevelt College in downtown Chicago. I could not wait to attend class because one of the most famous Chicago Good Guys was taking over for Tom Roeser, the regular teacher. J. Terrence Brunner is the former head of the Chicago Better Government Association. Terry is a true crime fighter and now running the Aviation Integrity Project. Since birds of a feather flock together…. Please enjoy this picture of Terry with Mike Quigley, the Cook County Commissioner of the 10th District. Mike Quigley always fights for the taxpayer.

Chicago Plumber's 130 Business Manager James Sullivan and Dan Kotowski

In Chicago, politicians want to get on the right side of the Number One Boss of Plumber’s Local 130. Mr. James Sullivan is well respected for providing the political troops to advance the union agenda. He has run the Union is a honest and lawful manner at all times. Still Mr. Sullivan has the clout to help candidates with the correct commitment to union ideals. In this picture with James Sullivan is Dan Kotowski Democrat- Illinois State Senate, 33rd District. Dan is a classy guy and seems committed to do the right thing. I have asked Dan to write a few sentences soon so we get to know him better. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

Today, September 9, 2006, Plumber’s Local 130 Political Picnic, despite a chilling wind, was a success. Many politicians all over the State made sure to make a very important event. The Plumbers Picnic is a must attend event, the Plumbers of Chicago are a very powerful force when they step to the political plate. Please enjoy a picture of Commissioner Joan Patrica Murphy of the 6th District of Cook County.
