Ask Your Plumbing Inspector Video with Michael McGann Plumbing Tips
Investigator Alphonso Treadwell and Chicago Police Superintendent Terry Hillard
Terry Hillard is Chicago’s Police Superintendent again. I caught our Superintendent at lunchtime, but he still took time for a couple of pictures. Terry is a real class act and a credit to all Chicago Police officers. One of the few things Mayor Daley ever got right. Al Treadwell, an Investigator for the Department of Water Management, is very happy with Terry’s leadership. Photo by Patrick McDonough.
The Fool on the Final Walk, Stanley Daley St. Pat's 2011
As Chicago rots all the way to the core, Daley had the coconuts to have the final walk of shame. The Chicago Sun-Times wrote Daley got many complements, but they failed to report the many jeers and insults. The Saint Patrick's Day parade was loaded with hundreds of union tradesmen struggling to make ends meet. Many of the Chicago Unions have allowed work to go non-union due to laziness and lack of organizing. I don't think it is a surprise, the unions that organized during the construction boom, brought in many unskilled and incompetent workers. Many of those workers are still paying dues to the unions and sit on the bench. Somehow the plumber's union has devalued the plumbing license by this activity. Many "Rooter" and "Caulker" types now have a plumber's license. These hustlers are working and the formally trained apprentice and journeyman starve. Many Chicago Union plumbers long for the leadership of Gerald Sullivan the greatest Manager of the Plumber's Union. Many of these plumbers worked on the Rahm Emanuel Mayoral campaign are hoping for a payoff. Plumber's Local 130 is still reeling from the damage of supporting Hynes for Governor. Politics may help James Sullivan and the leadership of the Plumber's Union but the members continue to complain to me. It is a matter of supply and demand. If you wonder why I have taken a rest from this blog, it is because I am trying to keep an open mind on the Rahm Emanuel transition. The damage Daley and his goons have done to Chicago will take a generation to repair. I do look forward to Amy Rule as first lady of Chicago, it seems like she will not make money off the position and give her family the guidance to keep them from making a joke of Chicago. We might also have the first Jewish St. Pat's Queen in Chicago. Keep in mind John Spatz is having a retirement party March 18, 2011, he taking a better job in DuPage. Contact me if you want to go to the party. I will get you in contact with the Department of Water Management staff that wastes all day preparing these parties on the taxpayer's dime. I hope these political workers also leave with John Spatz so Rahm Emanuel can get ahold of all the contract scams still plaguing this department. Patrick McDonough

Daley covers for the mob, controls the Office of the Inspector General.
Another day goes by and the Chicago Office of the Inspector General is shortchanged by the Daley mob clan. I reported a long time ago, the Commissioners of Daley's Administration have the power to stop an investigation by the OIG. Simply put, if the OIG busts another one of Daley's rats getting a promotion, stealing, and acting illegally, the investigation is shut down. I cannot tell you how many reports we made to clean up city hall and nothing was done. The FEDS have allowed Daley and his goons to keep ripping off the public. Despite the fact the OIG insists employees report corruption, employees are finding out the Office of the Inspector General is a front. I am already on the record demanding the complete independence of the OIG, period. I personally saw confidential OIG reports on the desktops of Water Department employees. By why waste taxpayer's money investigating when the fix is in? It only invites retaliation. All of us at the Municipal Advocate General are working to improve the working conditions of city employees and taxpayers. Get involved in this election soon, Chicago is in dire straits, thanks to Daley and his crooked friends.

A long and wonderful day at the Chicago Boat Show January 14, 2011
If you have this weekend open, take the family to McCormick Place and enjoy the Chicago Boat Show. I would like to thank Coleen managing the Press Department. This show is smaller in size and more “one on one”. Some of the shows in the past were far too large and making the time pick right boat was not always possible. I was told boat manufactures are moving boats but the profit margin has dropped. If you want a boat or entertain your family this show is worth it. One of the best highlights of the Show was Michael Schieb of Pine Crest Marine. Michael is one of the best boat salesmen in the industry hands down. I bought a boat from him and he always remembers his customers as if you are family. Michael is a class act. If you are looking for a Mastercraft, Crownline, Chaparral, or Godfrey boat, call Mike at (219) 374-5771. Camping World had some nice RVs. USAdventureRV was a nice set-up. I really liked the excellent sales personnel at Nielsen Enterprises. I liked Glen Justice of Mad Mariner Magazine. Final Finish Boat Works look good. This is the type of show where you can get away and have some personal free time. One of the biggest hits was some sort of a dog show. Nifty contests with dogs in the water and doing tricks. I need to do a story on McCormick Place soon. I guess I just cannot get away from the office. Photo by Patrick McDonough
