Senator Munoz's Fundraiser gone wild

Martin Munoz.jpg
After work today, I went to Senator Munoz’s fundraiser at the Chicago Police FOP to finish an investigation into political shenanigans in the Chicago Department of Water Management. At 5:00 p.m. Chicago City employees were right on time to make political points with Senator Munoz. One Local 1092 Laborer with a real cushy job, noticed me and ran inside to alert Martin Munoz, the brother of the Senator. A high ranking Chicago Water Department Boss driving a Chicago City Vehicle drove by and continued on after realizing I was photographing the event. One guest after seeing me, hide behind a tree and waited until a lady ran back to their auto and fetched him sunglasses. He put them on and than slid into the side doors. Later the Senator’s brother, that busted a Chicago City Worker in the face and never faced any discipline , came out to the front of the street and said “You got balls”. I think it was a threat. He had a paper camera, and took pictures of my daughter’s car. I am glad I had a witness. Chicago is loaded with corruption and clout, might not ever change, but lets keep trying.

James V. LoVerde Department of Water Management Retires

James V. Loverde.jpg
On June 29, 2007, Superintendent James V. LoVerde retires. After 44 years and 10 months of outstanding service to the Chicago Water Department, Mr. Loverde is moving on. What a tragic day this is for all Chicago Taxpayers. Mr. LoVorde is irreplaceable, period. I have never in my life worked for a person that gave an effort like Mr. LoVerde. I remember time after time, when Mr. LoVerde barked a command, the task was completed with no questions ask. James was without doubt the boss, plain and simple. James ran the ship, and the ship was ran professionally. No one knows the Chicago Water System as well as James LoVerde, he is the best of the best. When James walks away from this department, will he be asked to be a consultant? Or was the family man and leader in his church just too honest? Good Luck and God Speed. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

Hired Trucks Continue to Roll in Chicago Mayor (I don't know) Daley

Hired Trucks.jpg
On June 22, 2007, hired trucks were seen in the City of Chicago Department of Water Management Transfer Station. Mayor Daley swore the Hired Trucks would stop rolling as the Feds swarmed into Chicago’s City Hall. I was alerted by Chicago Teamsters that used to move the old dirt (spoil) to the dump site. The Chicago Department of Water Management purchased many new (Scows) semi-trucks to move this waste. They Chicago Semi-trucks are sitting idle while taxpayers pick up the tab again. The company pictured is Matias Trucking. Matias Trucking is owned by Libardo Lizarazo a owner of a MBE and DBE business. When you think of a Minority Owned Business doing trucking, you might imagine a company with a few trucks, Matias has about 50 trucks. What is the big deal? Matias Trucking is taking work away from Chicago City Workers that are required to live in Chicago. Matias is located in the suburbs. This trucking company knows the game of giving to key politicians in Chicago, Dick Mell, Cynthia Soto, Cook County Commissioner Roberto Maldonado, Rod Blagojevich, and of course our hero, Senator Tony “2-6” Munoz. Matias also gave to the T.L.C. Finance Committee. A few thousand dollars in contributions will go a long way in Illinois and Chicago Politics. I wonder what Alderman Laurino must think, it seems she did not get a piece of this Hired Truck Action. Please learn a little more about the about Matias’s Union Local 731, click here: http://www.socialistworker.org/2003-2/471/471_11_Garbage.shtml One Chicago City Worker told me the Matias might be tied to Michael A. Tadin since the name “MAT”ias. Is it possible? Well things never change in Chicago under Mayor Daley, just a different dress on the same old mobsters. Do not forget Senator Munoz’s tickets (Ohhh Brother) are for sale at your local Chicago Water Department. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

If you need tickets to the “Law Enforcement United” Munoz 9th Annual Barbeque Bash, make sure you visit the Chicago Department of Water Management Central District at 3901 South Ashland in Chicago. You can buy the tickets on city time by Chicago City Employees. I hope all Chicago gang bangers go to the party at the Chicago Police FOP Hall 1412 West Washington Boulevard in Chicago. Party is Friday, June 29th, 2007, 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., Donation is $35.00. These tickets might get you a “Get out of Jail Free Card” if you work for the Chicago Department of Water Management, right BRO?. Why does the Mob try to get a Senator or Representative to be “Legit”? The Godfather explains the story line long ago. Burge had a fundraiser in 1993 at a Union hall on Ashland in Chicago. (From Dan L.) of move on and shut up. (Are you happy now Dan?)

Shakman Violations continue for Chicago Workers

Chicago City Worker.jpg
Steve Broumas is another Chicago City Worker filing serious charges against the Chicago Department of Water Management. Steve is a typical chicago city worker that does an outstanding job for the Chicago Taxpayer. Steve feels the State of Illinois Department of Human Rights needs to step into Mayor Daley’s troubled department and get to the bottom of this Chicago City Worker. Kent McNeil, an Investigator for the State of Illinois also took statement from me, Patrick McDonough. I was proud to report all I knew about the Chicago North District Water Department. I hope all of Chicago’s top reporters can make Steve’s hearing at the Thompson Building June 28, 2007, 10th floor, room 1000, 1:00 p.m. Steve speaks many languages and has an outstanding pride and work ethic. When Steve and I worked together, it was elbows to a**holes, side by side, I met a man that used his own money to help the job go better, he also purchased tools for a more professional result. He is an Alderman Stone loyalist. Steve has some interesting things you might want to hear. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

Back in the Studio for Union Rights

The Employees of the University of Illinois in Chicago have had very serious problems with convicts and members of Mayor Daley’s 11th Ward interfering with good old fashion honest government. I wish to thank Frank Avila, a famous lawyer for bringing Chicago Union Issues to light. Thank you to Roger Sendra, Dennis Kalke, and Frank Avila. Watch this and learn about poor government.

The never-ending Weekend

Hot Biker Ladies.jpg
I had a very nice weekend that started in Minnesota. My Daughter is attending Saint Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota. To get in this Prime Catholic University, you must make correct decision after correct decision in High School. I am happy my daughter has been accepted. Clout played no part in this acceptance, you must perform well in school and get high ACTs and SAT’s. Reality has not set in my daughter will be leaving, and I am glad I spent lots of time with her. We went into the Town of Winona and saw many sights, also the Mississippi River. I really enjoyed the paddle-boat, the only one in the North section of the Mississippi. After that day at school we went to Wisconsin to discover another section of the Fox River Waterway. I have always regretted going to Fox River, but the exception is Lake Tichigan. This is a reasonably clean lake, but not up to my standards. I always try to boat on two new lakes every year. After we got off the water we went into Waterford and enjoyed the fair and than had a blast at the “Bunker” a bar at Route 20 and 36. If you are a Illinois Harley Biker, stop by this bar. Enjoy this photo of this lady, a Beautiful Harley Biker Momma, with a killer set of legs. This lady was very nice and could ride a Harley as well as any man. Photo by Patrick McDonough.
