Ferguson Found THESE E-mails

  • While many regular fans were shelling out big bucks to park near the United Center, Chicago city workers engaged in a scheme to set aside free street parking for friends and family during Blackhawks playoff games and Bulls games, a city inspector general report said Monday. The report suggests the practice also could be taking place at other venues.

    During the Blackhawks' 2015 run to the Stanley Cup championship, friends of Office of Emergency Management and Communications personnel were routinely allowed to park on a stretch of Wood Street near the stadium that is supposed to be reserved for media, according to Inspector General Joseph Ferguson's quarterly report. OEMC workers sometimes blocked off the street, "only granting access to those who OEMC management granted permission to park and directing members of the public to park elsewhere," according to Ferguson's report.

    The inspector general's office conducted surveillance of the street 13 times during Hawks games, nine of which were playoff games. The office also watched the street before three Bulls games, according to the report.

    "Approximately 62 different, non-OEMC vehicles parked on the west side of Wood between Warren and Madison during the surveillances," the report states. "Many of those vehicles parked on multiple occasions. The parkers included friends and relatives of management-level and supervisory OEMC employees."

    OEMC officials would often get requests to park on their city email accounts. They would then relay the names of the drivers and vehicle descriptions to OEMC supervisors working at the United Center, who would pass the information to traffic control aides stationed near the block.
First of all, 13 Blackhawks games versus 3 Bulls games? We'd say Ferguson has a distinct bias against hockey fans. Hopefully, the NHL will be lodging a protest shortly.

Second, it's amazing how Ferguson was able to locate these e-mails, but he couldn't turn up a single e-mail outlining secret study groups held at Headquarters on numerous dates with numerous room number changes when attendees were tipped off that IAD had received complaints. That these e-mails existed is beyond question - too many people knew about them to completely cover up the breach. Paper copies made it into the file and may have been part of the original complaint.

But Ferguson couldn't locate a single one. But he's got plenty on the OEMC parking scandal. One person resigned and a bunch of suspensions were handed out. And no one is accountable for the biggest cheating scandal in history that is leading to incompetent morons driving the Police Department into the ground.

Fergie couldn't possibly tell the truth about Lt Scam without burning down 35th St. It would be a catastrophic blow to COD to which it wouldn't be able to recover. Can you imagine the number of bosses it would take down if they were "really" to investigate it? Rahm must've pleaded on his knees with Fergie to leave it be. Hope he got something worthwhile for his soul . . .

Maybe the insider or insiders who got the whole investigation started need to leak whatever they have to whomever in the media would actually publish it. If paper copies of the emails were in the original file, someone has them and can leak them. Let's see what you have. Or did you already get taken care of by letting the "investigation" die?

Free parking for the connected and holier than thou . . . happens all the time at downtown events like Taste and Lolla. The Civic Opera Center actually is allowed to block off Wacker Drive and use it as a parking lot so the privileged don't have to put undo pressure on their bunions and wallets.

Fergusson said he did find emails to Williams regarding the test. He concluded there was no cheating because williams never responded to those email requests.

Now obviously willims could of just physically handed over the test info to whomever and not emailed it.

I think a FOIA for the emails to williams regarding the test would be quite interesting.

well, for the " subject matter experts" to pass along their knowledge to their chosen few is not new. Cheating it is and cheating is also another way to describe the " merit" system of promotions, which now account for the majority of our gold star leadership. Cheating describes it all and it is just another form of patronage within the police department.

The bigger issue is this.

It is most likely that the people involved in the Cheating were smarter than the OEMC staff in that they probably scrubbed the paper trail as well as possible.


The OEMC is a Dumping ground of Clout.

One of the TMA "Superintendents" is supposed to be related to a Judge. A former Boss is Bridgport Darling John Botica. Then there is Jack Kalicki...I seem to recall he was a double dipping Cop...2 pensions and all that.

What's next, will Ferguson be counting rolls of toilet paper in police facilities versus fire department?

Back in the day every copper on the corners at any stadium would always be good for a dozens of spots.

Seems someone on the inside dropped a dime.

We can all thank Daley for this shit. He turned all the departments against each other. Hard to take care of anyone for fear of getting ass suspended or fired. Take care of a citizen for something and that citizen brags to another citizen - no one can keep their mouth shut anymore - and the citizen not taken care of beefs to the department or writes letter to 5th floor. Result, cop suspended or fired. And while Daley is displaying accountability and transparency to the gullible public, he is stealing from the system that he and other pols created for themselves.

GREAT JOB from the IG. Way to root out corruption. Never fails in this City "Little is Big, Big is a Non-Issue." `

I cannot tell you how many time I saw McCarthy at the Hawks Game that season in the 100 Section. I even saw him jump on the band wagon and buy a Hawks sweater during the 1st and 2nd period.

I know I paid about $1500 for our tickets, wonder what he paid???

But on the other side of the aisle we have "skycap" ray lopez who has the community with the people being killed by rifles,as the once great place to live Brighton park is full of illegal criminals and ray and rahm stand up for the illegals and the bloodshed by refusing to obey federal laws,costing Chicago taxpayers billions in federal aide!But wait folks hold on a gosh darn minute ray sticking up for aviation coppers:

Alderman: De-certifying aviation police would ‘de-stabilize’ safety

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/alderman-de-certifying-aviation-police-would-de-stabilize-safety/

excerpt:

During the 12 years he spent as a Southwest Airlines skycap at Midway Airport, rookie Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) said he saw “many incidents where aviation police responded to calls in a quicker fashion” than Chicago Police officers.

“I have witnessed the aviation police’s ‘badge effect’ on unruly passengers,” Lopez was quoted as saying in a press release.

“I’ve witnessed them deal with everyday routine issues like drunken passengers, fornicating passengers, aggravated passengers coping with irregular operations, domestic issues between families, as well as emergency situations such as power outages, perimeter breaches and runway mishaps.”

On his way into a meeting with aviation police officers, Aviation Committee Chairman Mike Zalewski (23rd) agreed City Council support for the officers is building.

So after reading all this come on zalewski get your co-horts together we already know the powerful edddie burke is tired of gingers stupidity terminate her that is the problem, then fire that goof velasquez why did ginger give this kid another $50,000 bonus over and above his excessive salary? Why does "ginger" get over $300,000 a year plus a $100,000 bonus plus a few cars and drivers? To eliminate the disease you start at the top of the chain the top is rahm, but since you cannot cut off the head of that snake until the feds finally indict him, get rid of excess baggage and fire ginger any investigative media left here?

The cheaters will never be respected because we all know that they cheated their way to a good score. They couldn't even spell the word cheater if they had a dictionary. They were spoon fed what to study, what not to study, and how to get some answers wrong. They couldn't even do that much without messing that up. Even if they get promoted, they will never get the respect of the troops, including other supervisors.
