The City of Chicago was alive with people that understand clout today. This is a very active time for Illinois’s top politicians; decisions need to be made filling posts that can decide the future of the party. The Secretary of State was in the thick of all this and still made time to meet with Judge Anthony Burrell. Preparations were made for additional footage in the upcoming TV shows, “Have Gavel Will Travel”, hosted by Judge Burrell. I witnessed a very inspirational speech by Secretary White that was spellbinding and mesmerizing. I was taken aback because the speech was from the heart and not scripted. Please keep in touch with Chicago Clout and I hope Secretary Jesse White will be able to guest in Judge Burrell’s show. I have become hardened and with many of Illinois’ politicians, but Jesse White is the finest and most respectable in Illinois, and from me that is a compliment.

It has currently come to my attention that Mr. Greg Ortiz conducted an unauthorized meeting recently at the Department of Water Management/North District.
Mr. Ortiz whom was contumaciously in his actions in threatening of retaliation or taking disciplinary and issuing written reprimands such as;
1. Failing to where your safety hat.
2. Failing to where your safety shoes.
3. Failing to where your safety vest. etc
This excludes politically connected individuals such as Louie Arroyo who’s father is a state Representative. Any and all of his HDO army, aka the Puerto Rican click. whom loaf around and or ghost payroll.
Mr. Ortiz insisted that Teamsters members vote back in his father in-laws (Kenneth Brantley)Fair and Equity Slate whom where abruptly removed and replaced by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Mr. Ortiz further warned that the retaliation will escalate if the members fail to comply with his directive to vote his father in-law (Kenneth Brantley)slate back into office.
The above slate is a known puppet of Richard Daley.
Mr. Ortiz was in direct violation to the Personnel Rules;
RULE XVIII

XXIX – Conflict of Interest.
While he’s the first African-American to serve as Illinois Secretary of State, Jesse White is probably just as well-known for founding the Jesse White Tumblers. It’s an organization that tries to keep youth out of trouble through athletics. White, who turned 73 in 2007, often has appeared at parades and sporting events with his tumbling team. As secretary of state, White’s office handles driver’s licenses, corporate filings, vehicle registrations and license plates, among other record-keeping functions. He took office in January 1999 amid a scandal involving unqualified truckers who paid bribes to get their driver’s licenses and instituted reforms to clean up the program. White also redesigned Illinois license plates to their current look. White, a Democrat, comes from Chicago’s 42nd Ward, with longtime Cook County Board President George Dunne serving as his political patron. Before winning three terms as secretary of state, White also served in the Illinois General Assembly for 16 years and then as Cook County Recorder of Deeds from 1992-1998. This one-time paratrooper with the Army’s 101st Airborne Division also played minor-league baseball for the Chicago Cubs. White went to what’s now known as Alabama State University and worked as a teacher and administrator at Chicago Public Schools. He was born in 1934 in Alton, Ill.
