I am in a manhole (valve basin) I bet you would love this gravy job right? My computer system has been down for a while and some major legal filings are on the way. Remember to apply for a job at the City of Chicago, e-mail me for help. Patrick McDonough

Hired Trucks roll at Chicago O'Hare Airport Today

The airplane traffic at O'Hare Airport slows to a crawl as soon as a few snowflakes fall. Chicago's O'Hare Airport is a disgrace and Mayor Daley should clean up the waste of money. On a positive note, I was impressed to see Mayor Daley's Hired Trucks moving the snow to mounds at the south side of the Airport. Hired Trucks roll, planes do not. I hope the teamsters are checking for membership cards. I hope the workers are paid prevailing wage. Maybe they get paid by the load like Tadin's boyz. O'Hare Airport should be avoided at all costs.

Election February 5, 2008 Update (WRRDGC) Commissioner Frank Avila

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) had Commissioner Positions on the ballot February 5, 2008. When I voted yesterday, my neighbors let me know Jan Schakowsky was pushing a candidate other than Commissioner Frank Avila. I wish to thank Alex Armour for returning my call. Sarah Gersten of Jan's staff informed me Jan backed Mariyana Spyropoulos and Dean Maragos. I am wondering why Jan did not support the reelection of Commissioner Frank Avila? Commissioner Frank Avila was the top vote recipient in the category. I cannot tell how happy I am, Commissioner Frank Avila returning back to provide leadership at the district. I think we should give much of the credit to his son, Attorney Frank Avila. Thank you for all the good clean shows for children on the Environment, the Avila Family should rejoice in this victory.

Chicago Primary Elections February 5, 2008

Chicago Politics Levar Ward.jpg
Guys, stand one hundred feet away, you know, by the Massage Parlor.
The Chicago Board of Elections needs to tell everyone, including the Polling Place at 5639 North Milwaukee, to leave people alone when they vote. P.S. when I reported this to the Chicago Election Judge, he got out and made sure the guys were gone. Chicago needs to clean up the elections. Photo by Patrick McDonough

Vote in Chicago, Get a Massage, and Go Home

Chicago Primary Election 2008.jpg Handing out literature and/or political activity is not allowed within 100 foot of a polling site. Alderman Patrick “Phat” Levar should take a second look at these massage parlors. Remember Pat “Phat” Levar’s promised to clean up the blight of massage parlors on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago’s 45th Ward. I was happy to see an improvement in the Laurino polling places, especially the one on Elston Avenue. I love this Board of Election cone. I wish someone would ask Mayor Daley his opinion on Chicago Massage Parlors. Photo by Patrick McDonough.]]> Continue reading “Vote in Chicago, Get a Massage, and Go Home”

Chicago City Workers Busted at a Side Job Today

In a conflict of interest, two Chicago City Workers, were installing plumbing and carpentry at 5969 West Superior today. Work was in progress at 3:45 p.m. Chicago's best and only Inspector General asked the Plumber and the Laborer employed by the Department of Water Management Central District, why were they doing a side job? The Inspector looked for the permit and could not find one. I am concerned when the Plumber said to me, "What are you doing here?". "You must live in Oak Park, right over there", said the Plumber. Just when you thought the North District boyz did all the side jobs, this pops up. What was I doing in Oak Park today? Patrick McDonough.
