Chicago Police escort Patrick McDonough around City Hall looking for files

Thanks to my Chicago Police Friends for the great treatment

July 19, 2019

When Chicago’s most famous Plumber went to Chicago City Hall to obtain records from the Department of Finance on 3M, the lackeys from Old Alderman’s Burke team went cray cray. The receptionist panicked and ran inside the offices. I was asked to wait and was relieved they did not send out the last clown that jammed a badge in my face.

The all-new and improved Workers’ Compensation employees should all be on the unemployment line thanks to a Federal lawsuit Jay Stone and I filed. The lawsuit ended up helping Lori Lightfoot become Mayor and start need reforms. The City lawyers that said they are not changing W/Comp in Chicago, were forced due to the Mayor’s demands.

Not long ago, I requested information on my W/ Comp file and was stalled by the DOF FOIA officer. The FOIA’s in the past made way for their former boss to enjoy a nice stay in the pokey. Another Federal Lawsuit is in the works soon.

As I waited for the FOIA Officer, the Chicago Police were sent to follow me around to City Hall offices. The two police officers were very professional and deserve credit for outstanding behavior. I wish to thank Chicago Police Officer McHugh and his assistant.

I was escorted to the DOF 7th floor and the FOIA Officer was hiding. The receptionist was awesome but nervous when the police escorted me in. I ended up giving my police credentials and off the officers went. I then went to see Alderman Wagnespac.

Alderman Burke and his losers can start all the trouble they want, they can delay all they want, but they will not stop me. You just never know who a person really is until it is too late. Who took the paper off the doors? The Feds are not done yet. HaHa.

One comment at the Department of Water Management ignites a firestorm

Riding with the boss can be profitable for some General Superintendents

While getting ready to check out from work on June 4, 2019, a Chicago Water Department woman made a comment regarding a suspicious promotion made at the Jardine Plant. When the City of Chicago makes promotions in the past, you “got under the desk”. To this day, women are mistreated by male bosses with plenty of political power to expect lunch to include buns for their hotdog. Many of these bosses were switched out to other departments when the sexual harassment claims arrived. The Water Department has also failed to protect women.

I have many interesting stories about promotions that are ready for press, but a quick story to wet your whistle is in order.

On June 4, 2019, Maria Garza, a thirty-year veteran made a quip about Jessica Bellows recent promotion. Jessica Richardson Bellows, known as a real blowhard, became upset when she overheard some innocent comments and overreacted. Jessica ran towards Maria and verbally assaulted her. If Jessica thinks she got a promotion on merit, and not those rides with Commissioner Conner to “events”, she is sadly mistaken. I will get into the massive pay raise Jessica got to watch the Leak Desk employees. I guess the DOWM Management needs interference when phone calls about drunk hit and run drivers at the DOWM are made. I assure you; taxpayers should not pay a massive dough for an unqualified blow-up doll to watch incoming phone calls.

Jessica wrote up Maria, maybe thinking no one has the right to think a promotion at the DOWM was made other than by merit. Workers have the right to speak their mind when they have worked somewhere for a long time. Lets, face it, Conner is an old political hack sent by Alderman Austin. Conner is hanging by a thread until Burke explains the Old Post Office Deal.

Please watch and see if Maria Garza is given time off. I hope she sues the DOWM and makes an Illinois Department of Human Rights complaint. Violence in the workplace complaints will be made, they will be covered up, and life goes on. Chicago Police Department complaints will be filed, and then covered up.

In Jessica’s recent promotion, she proclaims she knows all about pipe and how it is installed. She does. She also was the point person for Inspector General Joe Ferguson and make sure investigations were taken care of.  It is time to fire Femi Sokoya, Randy Conner, and Jessica, and Ms. Hernandez-Tomlin.

We are watching this B.S. and will go into detail soon. Streets and Sanitation guy stick together, Robert Richardson must be proud.

Luis “Daddy’s Boy” Arroyo Jr. busted

Luis Arroyo Jr.

Luis Arroyo Jr. is doing the same shit all City many Chicago Department of Water Management employees perfect, corruption. Luis was well known for having a real gravy job sitting in the North District teamster’s office waiting to go out and drive a truck. Yes, Luis is a truck driver at the Water Department. Luis was fixing a ticket, and this is not the only one. This is theft. Yes, theft. Chicago is broke, Cook County is a mess. Politics is a mess in Cook County. The Corruption from top-down.

I suggest Luis is returned to Chicago to drive a truck and step down as a Cook County Commissioner. Another prime failure of the Chicago Political system. Shame. Don’t worry Luis, you seat in the North District will be kept warm for you. You will not even need a CDL License anyway.

Killing Birds at the Department of Water Management

Many City of Chicago Department of Water Management employees care about nature. Many are just brutes that purposely kill animals to take out their frustrations. Not long ago a Department of Water Management employee under the control of Commissioner “Coo Coo” Conner, took a pole and dislodged birds making nests above the entrance of the Eugene Sawyer Water Treatment Plant. A pole was used to dislodge the little fellas because the worker was pissed the bird crapped on his shoulder a few days prior. Look shorty, a little bird shit on your shirt is not the end of the world. The workers flew into a rage and then plotted and planned on how to kill the birds.

Originally the entire thing was covered up by the DOWM and the Security Department sat on the case. Things escalated when reports were made to Chicago Clout, the Sun-Times and the Federal Government. This case is getting hotter by the second as Mayor Lori Lightfoot can not allow the Water Department to continue as a wild west show.

Lining up the birds and killing them is a new low for the Department of Water Management. When you hire alcoholics, partiers, and low life to run the place, this is what happens when you hire scumbags. Read the story here,

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2019/7/15/20692473/birds-killed-chicago-water-plant-federal-migratory-investigation  Fran Spielman deserves an award for exposing these rats. Many hard-working employees are dirtied by the same trash that get political jobs. I am demanding Commissioner Conner is fired now.

I hope Joe Lynch can explain how to oil the eggs of birds that migrate from Canada. The Geese sit on the eggs for months and they never hatch. Also, they killed birds at the Jardine Plant for years, they went on the roof and exterminated them.

Chicago Homeland Security Violations DOWM

Commissioner sends friends truck to Homeland security property

The City of Chicago has a standing order to make absolute certain no unwanted vehicles or people are on the property. Ralph “Chicklets” Chiczewski has standing orders to make sure only businesses that know the game are on the property. On June 25, 2019, a food truck was sent to the rear of the Sawyer Water Plant to serve some vittles for the employees of the Department of Water Management. The hours were from 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Unfortunately, the food was being served at the very back of the plant to avoid any violations of Homeland security protocols. Chicago Plant police were upset because they were unable to protect Chicago Citizens in case of a security breach.

On the menu was a feast:

“The Conner” a real fat sandwich loaded with backfat, grizzle, grease, butter, oil. The sandwich was a real “smash”.

“The Ralph”, the sandwich loaded with tons of grease. After finishing up that whopper, it will show itself out of both ends before you make it out of the parking lot.

“The Julie-in fries”. The get under the desk special if ever there was one. Goes down the throat as slippery as an eel. Heavy on the salt and garlic that makes everyone in the office happy as hell.

The Pope-Cycle”. Enjoy an extra thick popsicle with a creamy white inside. The more you suck on this chilly treat the more you can experience different flavors. Like a new popsicle every hour. With some people only one popsicle is enough, but the girth on this big boy is for those who demand more. Get in line to lick this bad boy.

As for Safety and Homeland Security? It is only water.

Commissioner Alfonso “Randy” Conner Humble Pie

Commissioner Alfonso “Randy” Conner humble talk June 27, 2019 North District

Today at 7:15 a.m. a humble and contrite Randy ‘Stepping” Conner address a ragtag bunch of North District Chicago City Workers tired from all the heavy work of carrying the political warlords at the Jardine Plant for years. “Regretful Randy” was not acting the brash fool as he had in the past. According to several high-ranking insiders, Randy was not prepared to be a Commissioner and was ill-prepared for the onslaught of powerful insiders. Randy thought when he made Commissioner it would be a high paying party.

Now that he is tied up in several scandals, his demise is near. Randy’s knows now that Alderman Carrie ‘job fixer” Austin and Alderman Burke are toast; he is near the finish line. When Rahm Emanuel was mayor, Randy was a cocky fool, threatening powerful members of Local 130. Real leaders show up on time, but true to form, Randy was late by 15 minutes. This was not the same Randy that was making City Workers wait for him at the Jardine Plant while he was playing with himself, making people wait.

Randy lost his swagger.  He might have partied too much. When stepping at Pier 31 with major players like “Deep Water” videotaping every move, he proved he was just another punk that got a position with no talent or class.

According to my recollection, Randy said there will be many changes at the Department of Water Management, I hope he means Mayor Lightfoot will stomp on the azz of Randy, Hernandez, Chiczewski, and others that brought shame upon the Chicago Water Department. All workers must play by the same rules and the cover-ups must end.

I am hoping to plan a Stepping party for Chicago’s Department of Water Management Goodbye Party. I was thinking Pier 31 at 31st Street to be a great place to say goodbye. Why? Why Not. So, bring your stepping shoes, dry clean your urban suits, (Canto Suit if you are a playa like me, and let’s get started.

The current issues are Lead in the drinking water, fraud, drug testing, accidents, the old post office, Lincoln Yards, cover-ups, political promotions, promotions for getting under the desk, workers compensation fraud, the same ole stuff. Alderman Burke needs to answer for CTR and other that got business at the DOWM. More on this later.

Chicago Clout Hall of Stupid Carrie Austin

Carrie Austin got the Feds on her azz now.

All the Chicago Clout fans know a deep investigation into Alderman Carrie Austin and her extended family started by Jay Stone, the maverick son of former Alderman Stone.

Chicago clout told you years ago, the Water Department was treating her son like a V.I.P. and not like a laborer. Since when did the DOWM management, take a laborer to a City Council Meeting? What was Mr. Austin doing at that meeting down at City Hall? Sleeping. I should release those photos. It was sickening to watch Commissioner Talley kissing this dude’s azz instead of having him dig ditches.

Both Austin fools will be out on the street. Carrie Austin has given more people jobs and promotions making life good for her and goon squad. Carrie will be exposed for her 300-million-dollar medical wheeling dealing with Medical billing and her profitable committee work. Remember when the little Emanuel was priding himself on lying to the Federal Judge and demanding no more Shakman oversight? The Judge should have listened to Jay Stone and me when we warned about the current and ongoing rigged jobs to the Federal Judge.

I am glad the Chicago Media is rocking and rolling now. Time to expose these bums and put them in jail. I asked the Governor of Wisconsin to make a major expansion in the federal prison in Oxford. The Chicago wing of the prison should be ready to handle a entire batch of Chicago politicians, commissioners, and assorted henchmen.

I am making the popcorn now, extra buttered.

Ed Burke’s unplanned gift to Illinois governments by Tribune

Think of it as an unintended gift from Ald. Edward Burke to governments throughout Illinois: A private-sector company now will manage the City Hall workers’ compensation program that Chicagoans long described as Burke’s $100 million-a-year fiefdom.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot has hired an outside claims administrator to manage the program, which she aptly describes as vulnerable to corruption. Let’s see: For decades one alderman, his veins coursing as much with politics as with blood, oversees how the city doles out payments to claimants who say their injuries keep them from working. What could possibly go wrong?

A federal charge of attempted extortion against Burke roiled his, well, fiefdom in January. Mayor Rahm Emanuel moved workers’ compensation from the Finance Committee to City Hall’s Finance Department. Emanuel also launched an audit by accounting firm Grant Thornton. To the surprise of no one, a preliminary draft of that review has found “significant control deficiencies and weaknesses.” The audit describes inadequate controls to prevent cheating, insufficient training of employees to spot suspicious claims and no hotline that would let citizens report suspicions of fraud.

Lightfoot’s expectation is that Gallagher Bassett, a company that boasts of handling injury claims for some 4,800 organizations in 60 countries, will save Chicago taxpayers significant money by professionally evaluating claims, helping employees get back to work in reasonable time and perhaps reclaiming payments on fraudulent cases from the Burke years.

Just as important, public officials statewide stand to learn what happens when a big Illinois government puts an important backshop operation in the hands of an apolitical private-sector company accustomed to big caseloads.[

We’ll pause here while defenders of an ever-larger public sector dredge up stories of this or that company that didn’t do a good job for an Illinois government. But rising public opposition to property taxes, plus the enormous budget pressures driven by unfunded pensions, sooner or later will force Illinois governments to change how they do business. Think of all the backshop operations — payroll, benefits administration, purchasing — that private-sector contractors just might handle better, and for less money. At minimum, Chicago’s City Hall won’t incur pension expenses for Gallagher Bassett employees. That alone is a break for city taxpayers.Read: Audit of city’s $100 million-per-year workers’ compensation program »

So let’s all monitor how the company performs, and for what ultimate cost. We keep urging local governments to consolidate, to economize, to do what private-sector employers have been doing more aggressively for more years: Find new ways of serving citizens and employees.

Who knows, maybe this unanticipated experiment — this gift from Ed Burke — will show public officials and taxed-out citizens statewide that a lot of the work done in government offices ought to be done in the private sector. Gallagher Bassett, we’ll all be watching you.
