Month: November 2019

When I flew into Marco Island Airport to get lunch, I decided to follow up on a story that includes prior posts on Chicago Clout. Luis Arroyo was the 3^rd State Representative and assistant majority leader. He was just served a little love from my friends at the F.B.I. The F.B.I. allegedly followed up on many complaints the Chicago Politicians, Unions, contractors, and the City of Chicago manage to operate.

Luis Arroyo and his wife Maribel are currently enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at their palatial estate in Marco Island. They get scared easily when walking around their home and batten down the hatches when they suspect the FEDS are snooping around. Hidden behind the garage door is a nice white SUV. This house was just a lot when Luis bought it in 2012. In just the last year, the massive building project resulted in an almost million-dollar winter house. The landscaping is plentiful, and the grass is plush. The paver stone on the driveway looks great. Luis now has a tax bill of only just over $8,000.00. That is way less than the taxes in Chicago for sure. The home boasts of a 2300 plus foot interior, 500-foot enclosed garage, 500-foot enclosed deck, 14 by 24-foot pool, and a 900-foot deck. Amazing how King Luis expected to pay for this amazing construction project. The ceiling is high in the air.

Not bad for an Illinois State Representative that gets paid $77,000.00 plus a year and $111.00 per diem expenses, and extra for additional duties. His work in the transportation section with John D’Amico is tied to the Illinois Senator Marty Sandoval mess.

I am certain Luis was going to entertain at that house and obtain more consulting business. You think since he was given the Illinois State Representative in 2006 and a wonderful easy job at the Department of Water Management, he would be more interested in helping to move the Puerto-Rician Community forward. Luis made massive piles of money from his campaigns that out-powered any rivals. Luis also put his family and friends on the Chicago City payroll. Luis was a real winner when it came to Chicago Unions. Plumber’s Local 130 and teamsters, and electricians lined his pockets.

Luis forgot to help his friends at the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission. When Illinois politicians take money from companies like A.L.L. Construction. They get millions in O’Hare Airport contracts. Frank Coconate was injured while working for A.L.L. Construction, but his workers’ compensation claim is dragging on and on. Luis was always out for Luis and now he is ruined merchandise. Watch the campaign contributions and consulting dry up.

We should see a for sale sign in this yard very soon to pay the legal fees. Just search the crib in the 1800 block of Bayport in Marco Island. Bet it will be a fireside sale. Too bad, so sad.

Many Chicago Taxpayers would be very pissed off if they knew about the many Departments controlled by the Chicago Mob. The delivery of services and the purchase of supplies is very carefully controlled. It keeps an army of democrats in an office that keep looking the other way. The Chicago Way, “what’s mine”, is why things fail to change. They keep posting hate in Chicago media and the fools follow with strict marching orders on how to vote and dutifully pay their taxes.

Today we look at Chicago Fleet and facilities Management. We at Chicago Clout follow crews and take pictures to monitor the integrity of not only the ongoing crime spree, but the way goons like Joe Ferguson and his clown at the Inspector General follow up and dispense justice. As I have said in the past, Joe Ferguson follows Fran Spielman around for a little attention and only investigates things that garner him some pictures in the Sun-Times. Sad.

In early March 2018, an electrical fire started at the Archer Heights Library on 5055 South Archer Avenue in Alderman’s “I know nothing” ward. The City dispatched 2FM employees for a joyful emergency overtime electrical repair. Most repairs are not an emergency unless someone like Nina-Aruba-Pierce-Cozzo-Glorioso deems it to be the end-all. Nina dispatched an electrical crew and work began in earnest. An electrical service in Chicago uses very high-grade electrical work and thick as a few fingers. Can you imagine the pounds and pounds of copper needed to replace the electrical line? Nowadays, the number one bare bright copper goes for over $2.15 a pound. Some scrap yards are also over that.

The problem is Chicago 2FM employees were getting paid time and one half and double time (and a day) to remove the plastic and maximize the amount of money they would receive. City workers also went to the scrapyard on city time and got paid to steal the copper. Pretty nice eh? At first, the criminals forgot to give the guy photographing them his cut. Not smart. The envelopes were shared with a few select employees such as foreman John “Copper Bar” Keating. John makes nice overtime thanks to his close relationship with Nina “Aruba” Pierce-Glorioso. Nina is an insult to the outfit guys on grand avenue. When you pick on the wrong people at work, you bring attention to yourself. Is Nina the kind of goof like those cray cray ladies on Jersey Shore?

The Chicago Inspector General was given pictures because some employees fail to look in their rearview mirror. I get it, the lust for cash is strong. According to many insiders at the Inspector General’s office, the I.G. is dragging the investigation on forever due to the political pressure put on Joe Ferguson. We are talking about thousands of dollars in taxpayer money looted. Currently, 2FM is repairing Joe Fergusson’s Sedgewick location and giving Joe the treatment. Joe, I suggest next time you do a sweep in the office on a more regular basis. Also, Joe should have more common sense than to hire a City agency to build offices make repairs. The Chicago Inspector General should hire a private contractor for security reasons and get his own kickbacks like everyone else.

Several phone calls were made a couple of days ago to get the opinion of characters in the middle of the scheme. Nina was rude and John talked like, “how the hell did this guy know”? Funny. Rebecca Striscko, David Reynolds refused to return phone calls. One person was smart enough to answer questions and will be left out of the mess that that person did not create.

Nina is now a hero on Second City Cop because she failed to repair a Chicago Police station. I guess she could not find copper to scrap and was too busy running a con game at 2FM. When the Chicago Police can not go to the bathroom, they call Chicago Clout and demand action. Maybe Streets and Sanitation can make an outhouse drop like they did at the Eugene Sawyer Plant.

The Chicago Inspector General sent three of their FBI wannabees to 2FM because the heat in on. It is all an act. If you have pictures of City Employees scraping copper and still cannot prosecute, you are doing the same shit as the goons unloading plumbing material for tens of thousands of dollars. Just allowing major crime spree to continue.

More on this later

Just when you think Chicago had enough of a Police Superintendent drinking on the job, Chicago Commissioner of the Department of Water Management keeps in the act. According to a source at Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office, Conner was excused from a hit and run because he is black. The source said, “the black community having a drink or two and leaving the scene of a minor crime is what we do”? (insert a record scratch) I was dumbstruck by this answer. Just recently, Commissioner Conner was at a budget meeting and his actions were called out by Chicago’s most powerful black alderman, David Moore. I am glad to see that a Chicago Alderman keeps high standards for all employees despite color.

This is what we expected from Lori Lightfoot and her wife Amy ‘Bigfoot” Eshleman. Chicago voted for change and Chicago employees represent the same bunch of Rahm’s leftovers.

Currently, at the Eugene Sawyer Water Purification Plant, a story we published regarding a mess in the entrance area has got worse. We told you, with need all underground inspections, licensed and certified personnel to handle the major leaks. I as a Licensed Certified Plumbing Inspector and Investigator and P.E. offered to pinpoint the problem. Now, the Department of Water Management has the South District Plumbers on the scene. Also, major heavy equipment such as breakers and backhoes are going to have to try to find the leak. Stupid.

We told you this work needed to be completed immediately long ago because the water main pictured is up in the air. According to Commissioner Conner, winter came much too soon this year. The entire leadership at the Department is a laugh at all major municipal water management institutions. One guy from New York told me, “Chicago needs to remove the political insiders and hire pros”. Chicago is the new Detroit and the lack of structural maintenance is a national joke.

Right now, the Chicago Department of Water Management personnel at the Eugene Sawyer are evacuating their bowels into outhouses and drinking bottled water shipped in from taxpayer’s reserves. Some black customers wanted this water for those drinking bottled water due to the lead epidemic in Chicago.

Could you imagine another billion-dollar enterprise having employees going to the bathroom in outhouses in the middle of winter and drinking bottled water? Please note, Commissioner Conner is still refusing to release FOIA I have requested to expose this freakshow. Scam central.

We already warned everyone, when the political hacks at the DOWM forced Katherine Ealy, the best Chief engineer in the history of the DOWM out, hell would return. It is here.
