Chicago Department of Water Management has new Acting Commissioner

Commissioner Chen was fired for stupidity and for causing racial tensions.
In a surprising turn of events, a commissioner has been ousted from “they them he she” position due to a series of incidents highlighting incompetence. The decision to terminate the commissioner’s tenure was made after a thorough investigation revealed a pattern of inadequate decision-making and failure to fulfill key responsibilities. The individual’s lack of competence not only raised concerns among colleagues but also undermined the efficient functioning of the department. The firing reflects the organization’s commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism and ensuring that those in leadership positions are held accountable for their actions.

Many City of Chicago employees got an egg roll in the keyster. Commissioner Chen placed “Woke” classes on the front line. City of Chicago Department of Water Management employees did not get the required safety training and proper implementation. Many employees were accused of racism so Chen could tell Mayor Johnson how she was keeping whites down and out. What a Putz. Most of the terminations were for activities outside of work. It did not matter. According to Chen, she said, and I quote, Had zero tolerance”. It was “dog eat dog” at the Department of Water Management with Ching Chang Chen at the helm. Chen was an aggressive-looking and acting person. Chen was a bad driver. You know the type.

Complaints to Mayor Johnson’s office were listened to. Chen was so determined to fire whites that she testified in hearings. Most of that is left to low-ranking city employees. Chen will be known for allegedly backstabbing her former boss Conner; She took over his position when she allegedly painted him as a dumb nigger at high-profile Joiliet water deals. Mayor Lightfoot wanted an aggressive, masculine-looking Commissioner who identified as a female. So as any putz would agree, what cums around goes around.

Farwell Frank Coconate R.I.P. June 24, 2023

Farewell Frank Coconate

I met Frank at his house in Edison Park. He would exercise in the basement regularly. He also had a tiny toupee on his styrofoam head. Frank was one of the best family men who worked for the City of Chicago. Frank was very successful until he went up against Mayor Daley. He was attempting to improve the working conditions of city workers. Frank had a fundraiser for all city workers to attend. Jesse Jackson Jr. was the featured speaker. I have a video of Jesse Jackson Jr.’s speech. Frank  Coconate gave a tremendous, rousing speech. Many Chicago city workers attended this rally and started changing opinions of Richard Daley. Daley needed to work harder and show more appreciation for union workers.

Frank Coconate had an innovative blog and was far ahead of everyone at that time. The blog was used to expose Chicago City Workers getting political promotions. The blog was also used to catch up on gossip with city workers and to grab a little attention for Frank Coconate and his political ideas. Franco Coconate used the blog to establish his credibility and political attention-getting. During Frank’s blog monitoring, I posted many things about Mayor Daley’s son, Patrick, and exposed him as a political operative making money off the family name. Frank was distraught because he didn’t want any family attacks. Later, it was exposed that Patrick Daley was making money with other people in business deals with the City of Chicago.

Frank Coconate did an excellent job exposing the rainblocker program. Frank Coconate understood that the rain blocker program was a complete and total waste of taxpayer money. The rain blocker program was used to slow down the amount of water going into the city’s sewer system, but most people didn’t know that the rain blockers were torn out by the hoisting engineers working for the Sewer Department. In the central district, hundreds of the rain blockers piled up and unused. The rainblockers appeared to be a scam program from the very get-go. It was nowhere near as significant as the Hired Truck Program, but it showed Frank Coconate ability to blow the whistle.

Frank Coconate was a safety specialist at the Department of Water Management. Frank was ordered not to write up specific crews that failed to use proper shoring and safety protocols. Frank also should have realized that the safety specialist was a political promotion for laborers, and it was a significant pay raise even though the responsibility of the job was minimal.

Many of the safety specialists went home for lunch. Frank would also work out for a few extra minutes, which was not bad. Frank had a workout room in his basement and took a lot of pride in his appearance. Frank didn’t seem to understand that going after Mayor Daley and the rain blacker program was a death sentence in the city. The City of Chicago has a whistleblower program that’s supposed to expose corruption by the Inspector General, but the Inspector General has been and currently is useless.

Frank was notified by a certified letter, left by his front door, as the water department was doing everything possible to terminate him. Frank finally went to his hearing, and sadly, Frank went a little overboard with the political aspect of why the city retaliated against him. He didn’t concentrate enough on proving his case. Many Chicago Human Resources Department hearing officers are told how they will decide on these cases.

Frank was the original gangster at getting media attention. He was excellent at it. The Chicago media machine used much of Frank’s research information, tips, and info to sell newspapers. A lot of people were very interested in the gossip that was going on at the Water department. Sadly, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sometimes have completely stopped reporting these things, and corruption is flourishing again like never before. So Frank Coconate, with his whistle-blowing, served an important service to the Chicago taxpayers.

Frank Coconate truly loved his family dearly, his wife and his kids, and would fight to the end for them. I am not 100% positive of the cause of why Frank died so young, but I certainly think that the main reason would have been decisions he made as a young man at the party circuits. Frank got the shaft from this city, which was direct retaliation from Mayor Daley.

In the future, someone must step up and continue to blow the whistle on the corruption at the Department of Water Management. The problem is that doing so is almost a death sentence and a guarantee of vicious retaliation. I wish Frank only the best and hope he left his family in a good state. I do think the city of Chicago owes him an enormous debt of gratitude, and trying to call him a gadfly or some political garbage name is entirely inappropriate. I do know that Frank loved being in the paper, and he loved having a nice quote so his name was active. But I believe after he got fired from the City of Chicago, his continuing attempt to get attention in the media ruined his chances of having a good life. Frank lost his pension with the city, saying he could pay his immediate debts, but that was a terrible decision he received from his attorney.

I want to thank Frank as he introduced me to Jesse Jackson Sr. in Chicago. We took some beautiful pictures, and Jesse Jackson Sr was very gracious. It was my opinion that Frank was way ahead of his time because he saw the clout that the black community had. He saw the future and those decisions he paid dearly for. I do believe Frank is just somewhere up in heaven looking down, going crazy, wondering who’s gonna take over to continue his legacy. Frank was very proud of being Italian, and he seemed disgusted with the way the City of Chicago is currently treating white people. This was due to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s outrageous racism.

Alderman Edward Burke gotcha bitch

alderman-edward-burke-gotcha-bitch

Edward Burke, the former Chairman of the Committee on Finance in Chicago, was sentenced to jail for using his power to line his pockets. Burke had the authority to settle workers’ compensation claims and could deny them without explanation, which he did frequently. However, his corrupt practices were exposed by a Department of Water Management Plumber, Patrick McDonough, who interviewed injured city workers and uncovered Burke’s shady dealings. With the leadership of Jay Stone, a brilliant legal mind, they filed a federal lawsuit that shook the city to its core. Burke’s corrupt practices were widely covered by local news stations and newspapers, and many city workers provided crucial information to the FBI. It is important to acknowledge the bravery of those who came forward and exposed the corruption that had been going on for far too long.

Guns out in Chicago Like the Wild West

Lori Lightfoot allows armed robbery, guns out in the open Chicago

On February 25, 2023, (at 8:00 A.M.) a car full of armed thugs jump out of a car at the corner of Polk and Bell Street. The victim is a student that spent the night working hard on his studies. He is a student from another country. The white male victim lost his iPhone, passport, notebook computer, and wallet. You can see he had his two hands waving showing he was scared he would still get shot. This insanity happened one half mile away from the Chicago F.B.I. facility. This happened in front of Washington Irving Elementary School. Waving guns in public in full display shows there is no fear of the F.B.I., the Chicago Police, and the Cook County Court System. This robbery is in the heart of Chicago’s Medical centers the Tri-Taylor, a gold mine of hospitals.

Not far away is Plumbers’ Local 130 and other unions paying a mighty sum to sell Lori Lightfoot for another term. You would think it is the wild, wild west. If you think not having a conceal carry in Chicago, you are completely out of your mind. Look close at this picture Chicago. Vote this nutty Lori out of town.

Just a few weeks ago, Mayoral candidate Paul Vallas spoke at this school to bring a positive message. These actions are out of control. Take back Chicago.

Mayor Lightfoot calls out Chuy Garcia with racist rant

Rep. Chuy Garcia called Slowpoke Rodriguez by Mayor Lightfoot

Not looking good for Mayor Lori Lightfoot again as she attacks U.S. Representative Chuy Garcia in another racist rant for what she is known. It is not funny to make light of Mexican Americans when they have made many contributions to Chicago. Bugs Bunny cartoon characters belong in cartoons, not to be used to describe Chicago Mayoral candidates.

Alderman Jeanette Taylor stands with the 20th Ward

Alderman Jeanette Taylor Chicago 20th Ward

On Thursday, January 26, 2023, The Honorable Alderman Jeanette Taylor failed to take a duck when Chicago Clout had some substantial questions to ask. Alderman Taylor has never failed to go to the front line and fight for her ward. Taylor also let Mayor Lori Lightfoot have a piece of her mind when Lori needed a blunt reminder of Chicago residents’ needs. Nice.

Alderman Taylor made it clear to me that her number one priority is the residents of her ward. Alderman Taylor knew Lightfoot was handing out numerous 100,000.00 dollar jobs to folks who could speak Spanish and take care of the new Hispanic folks who had just crossed the Mexican border. Almost all are illegal. (Project Manager for Homeless and New Arrivals five positions) Blacks need not apply.

Super Clout heavy contractors funnel millions of taxpayer money into abandoned schools and the Meigs field “Northernly Island” Park Buildings. Globetrotter gave plenty of loot to support “Lightfoot for Chicago.” Lori better collect more cash from contractors soon. They just got millions to distribute for the Hispanics to live in the lap of luxury.

The Plumbing contractor better funnel money to Plumbers’ local 130 political funds quickly for Lori. Did you know Lori Lightfoot has provided all newly remodeled schools with million-dollar plumbing systems? Over one million for plumbing at Wadsworth school!!

Three square catered meals every day. The fresh food is top of the line Hispanic meals like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, torta de tamal, molletes. Lunch is Tortillas, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, and tamales. Dinner, Fajitas, enchiladas, pozoles, totopos, fresh fish, shrimp, and seafood. To wash down the top-of-the-line meals is Starbucks coffee, milk, bottled water, and Jarritos soda. Clothes? New jeans, leather work boots, Carhart jackets, shirts. Cars are provided with no license plates or insurance. Transportation to and from jobsites. Yes, nice jobs. IPhones are provided to all. These folks also get money through their iPhones.

I asked Alderman Taylor why she is fighting the new housing for immigrants in her ward, and she said, “the residents don’t want it.”

I agree. Feed your residents first. This is ridiculous.

Lori Lightfoot falls to 4th Place in Chicago election polls

Vote for Paul Vallas

Lori Lightfoot falls in the polls again. The leading contenders for the Office of the Chicago Mayor is now Chuy Garcia, Paul Vallas, Sophia King, and dropping like a brick? Lori Lightfoot. Calls for Lori Lightfoot to get out of the race intensified again. Lori thought she was too good to debate and is now making every debate due to the exposure of her regime. Lori keeps making bad decisions and is fighting with everyone.

Chuy Gacia and Paul Vallas lead the pack, but Sophie King is making strides as Lightfoot struggles. While the leadership of Plumbers’ Local 130 is going with Lightfoot, the members are going strong for Vallas. I have contacted staff at the Lightfoot campaign, and they are disgruntled. Funds are drying up fast. Workers call companies with contracts with the city to “help or else.” Unions were strongly encouraged to campaign for Lori as she said she delivered good contacts and saved jobs.

Vallas is also making inroads with the Black and Hispanic communities. I did not expect Paul to muscle this vote. Willie Wilson could be a great Mayor of Chicago, but he can not talk.

At the Handicap Debate, Lori Lightfoot staffers had strong words to people with disabilities for blocking the camera and making “rude gestures.” The fact show they were signing. Can Chicago get any worse?

Chicago Suffers More Trench Disasters. The Chicago Fire Department.

The City of Chicago Department of Water Management f*cked up again, thanks to Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Commissioner Cheng. I shared my concerns with Chris of the 41ST Ward. Many inspectors from the Chicago Fire Department, Unions, and Safety Department want to know what is being done by the Illinois Department of Labor. Multiple complaints have been lodged by The Department of Water Management’s most powerful Plumber. Patrick McDonough has also been a witness in many lawsuits against the City of Chicago. Many of these suits paid of over 10 million dollars.

Will this make the major newspapers and News Stations in Chicago? The willful and intentional conduct of the Department of Water Management has resulted in many fines.

Mayor Lightfoot ordered the emergency job as a favor to the 41St Ward to help with Lightfoot’s reelection effort. I called Commissioner Cheng’s office, and they refused to comment.

The Backhoe needed a steel plate underneath it, and the excavation had no shoring. There was no supervision on the job because foremen were covering multiple jobs. I want Matt Quinn fired. I want Frank Pellegrino, Hoisting engineer foreman for new construction, fired. I want John “Poop” Pope fired. I want Dave Maziere Fired. I want Bill Leyden fired.

According to a source, Mayor Lightfoot’s office demanded the crippled kid to hide at the Jardine Plant at full pay. He broke his back and punctured his lung. Lori Lightfoot will try to screw this dude out of workers’ compensation benefits. MARVEL ACTOR JEREMY RENNER will get top care. This dude might die.

I have 20 years of evidence I will give this guy’s lawyer. Hopefully, the City Law Department will not pay him off. Do not have anything to do with Lori Lightfoot.

Tell Mayor Lightfoot to Stop Firing Workers on Disability!

To: Lori Lightfoot, Mayor of Chicago

Campaign created by: Alexander Fraser Kantrowitz 

Why do you condone vicious harassment, political favoritism, criminals, and nazis

Why are your lapdogs allowed to talk endless shit, smear, rumor-monger, and make false criminal accusations misusing police resources?

Why Grandpa Guido of the Taylor Street Grocery Store, Rena Sterling, and several city workers are off for years on “slip and falls”, paint fume allergies, and hang-nails with 15 minutes of paperwork while direct Shakman hires have to fight HR sociopaths and their nazi commissioner for years to go on furlough with no health-care.

Why do your HR collaborators lie about leave when presented with the fact that your party, The Democrats, sent the nazis to my family’s land to murder my whole family?

Why do you hire scum in HR that harasses me, the sole care provider of my crazy, injured, dying mother?

Why does your nazi commissioner illegally fire me in front of witnesses despite copious documentation of disability, including heart defect and back injury?

Why is this important?

The City owes me $50,000 in back wages plus punitive damages for 1.5 years of disability plus 13 years of harassment.

I was hired in October 2006 as a Shakman or Federal Anti-corruption Hire, after Mayor Daley got caught using mobbed-up Hired Trucks.

I stuck with the job to serve the people of Chicago because it was my first good-paying job with a pension. My family has a 50-year history of public service, including rent strikes against racist red-lining in the 60s in Chicago, through to the feminist movement, Rainbow Coalition etc. It turns out that I’m probably metis on my mother’s side (French and Indian family were the first Quebecois to move to Marquette, Michigan, Giichiigamii, after the Quebec fur trade) so I have a deep commitment to the struggle against misuse of the land and its resources.

I helped to lead the only pickets of city workers against Hired Truck 2 (the selling of our jobs again to the mob by Mayor ShortShanks Daley in 2010)


Shortshanks retaliated against our 200-driver picket of the Water and Transportation Departments and Reliable Dump and scab job sites by cutting our hours at the airports from 40 to 10 a week, laid us off from a department, brought political hires in again to violate seniority, cut new hires wages by 1/3.

At the same time, Shortshanks and the mafia raped the taxpayers up to 400% of the cost of using city Teamsters through their Hired Trucks scheme with falsified loads, unnecessary loads, and unnecessary overtime. The federal monitor Hanrahan and the FBI Chicago office did nothing and allowed this, despite multiple calls from Teamsters and more than one news article.

We finally won a grievance against the bastard restoring our hours.

Then in 2017, Becky Strzechowski, the hack appointed by John Coli and Jimmy Hoffa Junior to rule our Local, sold us out to the city, bringing in “chauffeurs”- under-trained drivers at 2/3 pay, 2-hour show ups again, and offered bribes to the hacks working for the city to pass the contract. The result was that the City could not recruit qualified drivers, instead bringing in the gutter to sow chaos in our workplace with frivolous sexual harassment lawsuits.

I knew it was time to get out in 2010 when my co-workers would picket the departments and the mafia dump owner and scab worksites but were too politically compromised to picket City Hall.

However, I was already in the pension system, so I decided to complete 20 years in 2019 (I started as a municipal employee in 1999) and then leave and go elsewhere.

I then dealt with nine years of corruption and harassment as I was given a dirty truck at work each day to clean from top to bottom while hack laborers complained that I was slowing down their rush job. At the time, mafia Allergy Partners of Chicago had misdiagnosed me with severe dust allergies. It turned out that I was missing a valve on my aorta, making me sick from all the dust and toxins at the maintenance building and airport. This year I was diagnosed with Stage I colon cancer and had 20 centimeters resected. Cancer may well have been primarily caused by working around all the toxins at the airport, substandard housing, etc.

The other issues of harassment I detail in the email to my lawyer, Frank Avila Jr, are pasted in the comments below.

Issues include:

The HR hack Love lying to me in 2014 about mental health leave after I visited Belarus and my family’s mass graves after their murder as Soviet Jews during WW2 and realizing that these rotten Democrats who fucked my life also played a major role in sending the nazis to murder my people and to keep me separated from my lost family in Moscow.

The HR hack Maurice Elion denied my extension of three months of unpaid uninsured leave to care for my crazy, injured, dying mother as she was shoved out of her apartment by mafia building scum involved with a questionable construction project and into another old mafia folks home. Then once this scumbag, Elion was forced to grant the leave, telling me that the department would cancel my leave if my mother died early.

The HR hack Alisa Estudillo harassed me every two weeks for doctors’ notes from September 2019 to April 2020 as my left tendon healed up from emergency surgery and rehab. All the while, the pension board refused to pay out for SEVEN! Months.

Then Estudillo stonewalled me for four months, from March to June 2020, as I applied for ordinary disability for an Aortic Bicuspid Valve defect, signed off by Dr. Gopal Rao.

In the Spring of 2020, after months of stonewalling by Estudillo and Michael Landers, the titular head of Aviation HR, my union representative Hector Hernandez advised me to email Jamie Rhee the Commissioner of Aviation, City of Chicago, to request an in-person meeting. I did so, and Gauleiter Rhee referred the matter to the city legal department rather than sit down with me, as is the past practice. The lawyer then offered a meeting where the city bureaucrats could conduct more harassment and gas-lighting.

It was then that I knew that as malicious as the lower-level hack sociopaths in HR were, it was Gauleiter Rhee pulling the strings.

In the end, the city was forced to grant me an extension of ordinary disability but then made threats and promises to my doctor, who declined to write another note. Then Rhee ignored my ongoing disability status from a heart defect and auto accident to illegally fire me in June of 2021, even after my lawyers had sent her department a letter instructing her department that she was obligated to extend leave until my therapy from the auto-accident had been completed.

So, if you believe in workers’ rights and equal treatment and are against corruption and filthy anti-social scum misusing city resources, please ask Mayor Lightfoot why she would tolerate this corruption from city workers and administrators.
