Command Changes...with a Twist
Another day, another rumor of changes to be made in the Department. The biggest change of all? Residency is optional.....if you're an XO bucking for Commander:
- Hey SCC, Looks like an "untouchable" residing out of town is going to be named commander. How you ask? Nothing as simple as a wedding dress. Two houses. Live in LaGrange, own a second house in Garfield Ridge. Have your kids attend [omitted] and have your spouse tell everyone who'll listen how you've scammed the system for years. IAD refuses to investigate where he lays his head.
There have been a number of persons who resided outside of city limits and got away with it, based on how heavy their clout was. We suppose if you're rich enough to have two houses, and pay taxes on both, everything else is a matter of semantics. But most cops don't get rich on this job - it's hard enough to buy and maintain a single house, let alone two. A cheap apartment might be the way to go instead.
But if it were this easy, we imagine a lot more people would be doing it.

Bye bye bubblehead. Won’t miss you and sure as hell nobody will go to your retirement party you thieving arrogant scumbag
put me in charge
Let's put it this way, if they want to find out,
they can. A lawmaker in Pa. said he lived
in a certain district. Newspaper found
address; it was a run-down row house.
They got ahold of his water bill information
somehow and told the public the water
usage would amount to a few toilet flushes
per month.
R.D. living outside the City is old news. Nobody cares.
We do "crash pads" a la stewardesses and pilots. Get ten coppers to rent an apartment and share it during the work week then off to the suburbs for the days off.
There have been clouted living outside the city for decades. One of the last original captains Louie A. use to brag Im leaving early to beat traffic to get to St Charles.
Who is this person?? Name, rank???
Rottner and McGuire, both inspectors, always openly bragged about this!
The city, and certain coppers, better hope I never strike it rich. Out of sheer spite I would stay on the job long enough to sue the shit out of the city residency rule and get it lifted. Then I would move out of state. It might happen as that EEOC complaint I filed is looking better and better each day as this city and department continues to hang itself in regards to fucking with me.
Inspector general investigates residency from what I heard? Is that true?
He may be "untouchable" to the department, but the
rank and file can make his life hell. My crystal ball
tells me his suburban lawn turns brown, bushes die,
road kill and hunting season are bountiful for him,
his neighbors get anonymous letters, and somebody
places an ad online that he is a doc who treats
chronic pain.
C’mon.
Name names, or at least initials.
Inquiring minds need to know.
I live in brucey's basement in the burbs. He made me merit sgt.
Do tell!!
Insurance for the maxed out!
Command changes😂😂
Reshuffle the bozos 🤡
Last nights chalk talk with the recruits covered police "executives", Noble, CALEA, and the history of police union activity.
Tonight the kids will learn to never give up their 5th amendment rights to some pud wearing a gold star or a hater ASA.
Class of '86
ABC 7 just reported a IPRA investigator provided officer's personal information to some guy she met on Match.com. Yes you read that right personal info, address, kids names, maybe even medical info. Some copper can now expect gangbangers(community members) who he probably once arrested to burgralize his pad any day now. Hopefully we wont be reading about a home invasion with sad ending. WTF!
Name one person that’s been fired for residency. You can’t because there hasn’t been any. Everyone resigns before the police board hearings. If I had the dough I would do it too.
Not to worry, Mayor Rahm will make things right.
Sgt Brown the residency expert in IAD retired. Well should I say forced to retire after it was revealed he was stealing all that overtime conducting so called residency violations. What you say? A sergeant in IAD stealing overtime? Damn right he did!
Strong rumor that the Supt lived outside the city right before he made the top spot.
I'll rent you my basement for your residence cheap. Then your family can live anywhere you want. Smarten up.
Deputy Chief Rottner did the same thing for years! Everyone knew all about it and nothing was done. He lived in Lincolnwood, rented a BS apartment at the Jewish Cabrini Green , and his kids went to school in Lincolnwood. One of those daughters now works for CPD in media affairs. I wonder where she lives? She learned from the best, dear old dad!
Who is it? Name names. Expose the hypocritical POS to the light because if the roles were reversed and he thought it would help him get his gold star, he would burn you in a heart beat.
New Commander in the miserable 003rd District.
i rather live in garfield ridge than lagrange
silly goldstar...........
OT
Anyone else feeling a tightening in their chest while wearing the BWC?? I use the magnetic attachment and am going to try using the clip on today. The tightening gets worse as the tour goes on and there is a great release of pressure in the end when I remove it. Anyone else experience this? I am not being sarcastic.
It's funny SCC. I own an inspection company and get a lot of clients that are CPD/CFP that get me off Google/Yelp/WOM. I typically don't tell any of clients I am the police and this is my 2nd gig. I do this for a few reasons.
One: They think you don't know what you are doing. Like you can't have a side business and be a cop too and know what you are doing at the same time. More than once early on in my "biz career" a copper told me he wanted a "real home inspector" when he/she found out I was cop too. (Usually they would hear the radio in the background during a call and ask if I was on the job. Now I have a secretary and am retiring in July 2018 lol). Sometimes at a job they would recognize the CPD pants and call me out and I could see the confidence just slip away.
Two: Jealousy. When coppers hear I make $500-$600 in two-three hours they either don't believe me or the "Green Envy" sets in. Currently I make about what the Superintendent makes but I am a P.O. with no take home car, lol. Oh and no clout. Just hard work got me here. I don't kiss anyone's ass PERIOD. No ISRs. No TRRs. Nothing.
Three: Coppers want shit for nothing. Less than 1/2 off if they hear you are on the job.
But what I am getting at is I've done more than one inspection where I recognize the fact that my client is CPD/CFP and buying in the burbs. I play dumb during inspection and have since stopped wearing my CPD pants to jobs, lol. I've never blown their cover; not once. Often I hear guys talking about taking 3 on the end tonight or talking about having 26th/Cal, tomorrow to someone on the phone or their wife, or I even recognize them from court and know them as CPD, etc.. A few times it's been county guys or suburban coppers but for the most part I see the FOP 7 in the car window or something else gives it away. Often they wear their star on their belts, etc..
The point is I've done about 10 inspections over the past 15 years for both CFP/CPD buying in the burbs. Often they tell me it's a "vacation home or 2nd home" for them and I can tell it's like an "inside joke" as they are saying it in front of the wife and they think it goes over my head but the joke's on them as I often catch it.
So I know there are several guys for fact that live outside the city at least a few days of the week and the city hasn't gone up for grabs over it (or has it? lol).
Residency rule is the stupidest thing ever. How does living at 95th/Hamilton Ave and working in 019 make me a more caring cop for Chicago than if I lived in 019 and was a cop in Evergreen Park (two blocks over)? Or vice versa? Lived in EP and worked in 022?
I just sold my home at 95th/Hamilton Ave and guess who bought it? A white non-city worker. The value went up afterwards not down. There was no mass exodus on my block because a cop moved out. The property values did not plummet in Mt Greenwood or Beverly over it.
I know I am sidetracked but I hear so many people advocating against lifting residency. This ordinance/rule is unfit and it's time to lift it. So many cops don't have to abide by it in other munis. I just get so sick of hearing the Mt Greenwooders saying their property values are going to drop and Boo Boo and Ray Ray are moving in next door. Several of my clients are white and not city workers and in spite of being able to live in Mokena or Tinley Pk they move into Chicago.
Two sets of rules. Guess which one you have to follow?
Knew a Fire Lt who lived outside the city.
His bitter and famously batshit insane ex-wife, a now retired CPD Sgt,(005) reported him to the city out of spite.
His bosses simply pulled him to side and told him get "a place" in the city.
It's good to be connected.

Are u an idiot ? Of course they resign before going to the police board otherwise they be fired
The current commander of 012 does not even live in Illinois.
Commander Bubblehead lives in Hammond Indiana at the Horseshoe Casino.
He strong arms them for free food and a private shower room, so he can change out of his uniform. He also connects his van to an electric outlet in the garage, so he can heat it up without using his own gas for overnight stays.
Indiana Bubblehead.
Can't wait to for the day you retire and are no longer able to pull off any of your scams.
PS, did you like the $10 Bubblehead bills that I left around 012 recently.
You were a thief in 011 and will always be a thief.
I’m curious what all the vitriol is about?? If this mystery XO lays his head down at his Chicago home who the f cares if he/she has a second home for his RDO’s, or to send his kids to a better school and live a better life outta Shit-cago. You can do it also...man the f-k up & quit being bitches. PS - this XO is worker (even as an XO). He knows his sh*t & has helped many officers stay outta trouble - including this one.
Best of luck Commander. Deserved & Earned!

Breaking news:
Chicago police superintendent's car involved in minor crash on Dan Ryan
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-police-superintendent--accident-dan-ryan-20171018-story.html
Story:
A car carrying Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson and driven by an officer was involved in a minor collision Monday on the Dan Ryan Expressway, but no injuries were reported, according to authorities.
Johnson was on his way to an appointment when the department car collided with another car while changing lanes around noon, a police spokesman said.
No one was injured in the "minor fender-bender," and both cars were driveable, the spokesman said, adding that the superintendent was able to make his next appointment.
The spokesman did not know if any tickets were issued.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Would strongly bet his was bullshitting with his driver and driver was told Eddie was leaving last words by driver before accident was "oh shit!"
On another note scanning in and out starts 01Nov at HQ coming to district area soon, watch how much the overtime hogs income drops! thanks assholes "pigs get fat hogs go to slaughter" Now with the investigation going far and wide how many will be caught in the ongoing "scandal?"
If you own or rent int eh city and stop by your city residence on the way to your other place or on the way to work in the morning, there is not much they can do. How much time do you need to spend at your city residence to prove you live there?Do you have to have clothes there? Keep the lawn mowed? What defines primary residence? Do not blame the person for having the gonads to do it. Go ahead and do it yourself
Don't buy the newest, coolest and most expensive trendy things out there that you really don't need. Drive reliable beaters, buy a modest home, actually enjoy home cooking rather than going out to eat 3 times a week. Don't hire people to do stuff that you can do on your own. Don;t drink ridiculously priced drinks with friends when you can do the same at less cost in your house. Get a financial planner. It goes on and on. Be money smart and retire early.
Guess what? You actually can have two homes. Hell, I had three and never slept in the city home for the last six years on the job and never spent a weekend in the city home for 13 years. It takes some smoke and mirrors and some creativity and drive to do it, but if I could, so can you. Can't believe I'm now in my 11th year of retirement.
Oh, and be safe and be fetal.
It's not that hard, first do a cheap divorce, sell you're existing home. Second purchase you home outside the city in your ex-wife's name. A trust can be broken and you want to be free and clear of the property and your ex. All utilities must be also payed in your wives name. Third, get an apartment or a relatives address. You'll have to have clothing in the closet, uniforms, fishing polls, and a few long guns. Also family pictures, misc tools and other personal items. Make sure the divorce decree has unlimited visitation. I did it, my Sgt., and my brother. My Sgt. was the only one that the IAD made an attempt to prove his residency was out of the city. They followed him, had him staying at the residence outside the city for weekends, and photographed him fixing a gutter. Its crazy, but don't get caught cutting the grass, its one of their key indicators you live outside the city. The Sgt. hired Juan to cut the grass and do other landscaping, because he new that was one of the things they were looking for to prove their case. His staying for the weekend or a couple of days, is covered by the divorce decree, unlimited visitation. I and the Sgt. are retired, but my brother is still on the job.
Why are people so upset about this? Every single cop can do this if they wanted, but it’s easier to complain about it instead. That’s why I’m staying in a small modest house, when it’s time for kids to go to high school, wife and kids renting a house in the burbs, it’s a lot cheaper than paying catholic tuition.
To 0742. Continue handing out the radios because we definitely don’t need you on the street with as much as you got wrong in your statement. I sure hope you never have to testify under oath.
17PB2937 is before the Police Board now with a recommendation of discharge for residency violation. Just saying.
I suppose there is some truth in the saying the department will reflect its community.
Good or bad. (But its most always safer to take the high road.)

When the heat was on he bought Nate Gibson's condo at the Malibu East on Sheridan Road making him Tom Skilling's neighbor.
"Inspector general investigates residency from what I heard? Is that true?"
The IG investigates and finds what the Mayor tells him to do.
As far as shuffling the deck chairs and adding new ones, only the best and brightest of the connected, with help from skin pigmentation, will do.
Look at the future as well, dropped standards to increase minority applicants per the Federal government's suggestion since the CPD needs to represent the community more.
Cha cha changes:

Different rules for different ranks. Always been that way on CPD and if you beef they look at you like your an idiot. Media affairs, surprise. Usually they have been promoted twice by now and are in media affairs
Woops
I have a friend at the Corporation counsel, he stated that residency investigations outside the initial hiring process are nonexistent, and have been since the Emanuel "wedding dress" court case because as you know Illinois Supreme Court justice Ann Burke herself cautioned her fellow justices that their decision made our residency requirement moot for all intent and purposes.
They know that if someone gets terminated they risk losing in court and the whole requirement being struck down.
And now you know it too
got to love AG Sessions stating he is concerned for chicago police officers health and well being. we dont hear shit from Big Ed and Navajo Kevin, Fuck CPD
O/T
Sounds like Durbin owns stock in Shot Spotter (copy right).
How Vagabond Rahm got away with it should be case law by now.
Occupancy vs. Residency - they're not necessarily the same thing.
Having a rental property that contains a personal item constitutes Residency, regardless where you receive the US Mail, where the kids go to school or your place of permanent employment.
Roommates, domestic partnerships and moms garage should all apply.
Paying your share of rent for a flop house cot qualifies as Residency all the while Occupying an abode in suburbia.
Rent payments no matter how small or even at all should no longer be an issue...provided one maintains an item of personal property within.
Betts to deputy chief is no surprise. He's old friends with Eddie Johnson. Still true about "it's who you know, not what you know" in this department.
bubblehead still on the blog......
The fish rots from the head.
The head of the city rham, is a lil corrupt shyt.
The head of cpd is a lying fat jerk with one kidney and no balls.
I feel sorry for any of you new guys that think hard work and morals will
Get you promoted in the cpd. The cpd is a joke that isn't funny.
Best day of my life was turning my crap in and leaving for a new job. Keep hoping some friends do the same soon.
..now for some serious news, Krispy Kreme has opened at 9100 S Western.
Plan ahead.
"We were keeping this secret from everyone because it is so personal.
The kids didn't even know, much less friends and relatives."
You confide the separation to a few stand up people.
"Separate from the wife," she moves to civilization in the suburbs. You have your cheap bachelor hovel in the city.
But you are "working on the marriage!", and co-habitating "for the sake of the children!"
Find a counselor to help you with your problems?
Lawyers have to honor client confidentiality, find one to file some paperwork for the "separation."
Keep the paperwork straight. ID and government papers all shows the proper addresses.

Sgt MB stole a lot of OT, but it was the other MB.
Nothing wrong with owning two properties and there isnt a thing the city can do about it. My family owns both here and in Darien, guess what??? My wife and kids live there, go to school and shop there. I live here on my work week than on RDO's go with the family. Its been tested and lawyers are well worth the money.
what happens to alllll the "hidden" spots in 12 now ?????
Well with a free car free gas and unlimited overtime it's easy to afford lots of things. Plus free law school tuition as well as being on the clock while going certainly helps also.
A lot of the brothers on the team have stabbin cabins in the south suburbs. Old news.
Robert Tracy, the Wilmington, Delaware police chief and formerly of the CPD, was just on the news about today's shooting in the business park located just outside Baltimore. When I saw him, for a moment I got a chill thinking he was back, but as soon as I realized it was not so and learned the story, the chill was about the unfortunate victims.
The 2018 Chicago budget just came out.
Can anyone tell if captains are being brought back as watch commanders? They would need 66 total to cover all the watches.
Same thing happened in a large department north of Chicago. Officers were investigated and fired for living outside of the city. It was common knowledge that several command officers were doing the same thing but no investigation. One eventually became Chief.
R . D . Congrats...best boss. Well deserved.
9:52 AM:
Exactly what I was going to post. There's an officer from 008 who the department is seeking to fire due to living outside the city. The case is set for an upcoming Police Board hearing, and for all those people claiming "the department has never fired anyone outside of probation due to residency," we'll see now won't we? Especially if he doesn't resign first.
Good for you RD. You treated people right as XO. You never even bitched when half the district failed to bring in a single ISR, blue card, mover, impound, gun, pisser, drinker, or weed anov during your entire tenure. I know Im proud of my fetality. Have a good time in LaGrange.

You have described the one, and only way, for you to satisfy your residency requirement and have the family live somewhere else. However, an old partner tried the same as you. It worked just fine, until he was served divorce papers at work. It seems the wife found something to fill her time while he was spending his time satisfying the residency requirement. True story.
What's the big deal? I'm actually thinking about selling my house and buying in the burbs and renting a small tat shack to sleep at during my work days. I'll leave in the morning and go to house in the burbs. I'll go to work from there and come back to my rat shack at night. I can't afford private schools and I can purchase a better and newer home in the nearby burbs. I won't hide it. I'm told as long as u lay ur head in Chicago on ur workday , you should be fine (should lol) . A part of me doesn't want to chance it since I still have a few years left before my 20 and can't "retire" if I'm in front of a review board. I really want to get out, the divorce thing is going a little overboard.
What are the hidden spots in 12??
Rottner was told they were on to him and he better fix it. Lil Tommy Byrne was his guy and watched out for him.

In your post, what does CFP stand for?
To me, CFP is the abbreviation for Certified Financial Planner which is not a City of Chicago position to my knowledge. They can live anywhere they wish.
now for some serious news, Krispy Kreme has opened at 9100 S Western.
Bazinga!!!
Betts was a great Commander. Anyone who says otherwise is just way too salty.
So what your saying is. The commander in 002 is still the commander in 002
I saw mister ed on TV
You people are unbelievable. I understand that it’s standard practice to sincerely hate each and every exempt member and this is the forum to bad-mouth the crap out of them, but the dept finally got one right with Randy. He was promoted to dic, sgt, and Lt off th list...... never once got a merit promotion. And this guy is still the real deal as a a street copper who still even writes his own search warrants as the XO of 007. He is the go to guy for any copper in a pickle regardless of whether they’re a worker or not. 009 is lucky to get him considering the rest of so called talent pool are worthless clout babies. So keep bad mouthing the one that is finally qualified, deserves the spot, and would bend over backwards for any patrolman.
Drop the standards even further.
Hire junkies now.
I don't give a fuck as long as they're paying into the pension.

R.D. Is an absolute joke. Still puts guns recovered by the tact teams as 700x in the book. Never met a more self-serving boss on this job. All he got was a new gold star. He took a tact car anyways and would park it at “his house” then drive to his suburbs. Just ask. He’ll tell ya. 007 is a much better place without you
Would he bend over backwards because of his gymnastics background? As far as writes his “own” search warrants, you must be one of his three year wonders. Open your eyes kid
I love how people excuse rule violations because a boss was nice to them or let them leave early. It doesn't change the fact that there are two sets of rules one for blue shirts and one for white shirts. Case after case proves that true.

Writing his own search warrants as a Captain in this day and age? Seems a little soft with not much between the ears.

Oh boy....
"Ta-Nehisi Coates": 'Chicago' is 'code for black people'
Writer "Ta-Nehisi Coates" didn’t get to be the most discussed public intellectual in America by pussyfooting around when it comes to race.
So he was characteristically direct this week during a trip to Chicago, telling Chicago Inc. that President Donald Trump and conservatives “use Chicago as a tool — ‘Chicago’ has become code for ‘black people.’ ”
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chicagoinc/ct-met-ta-nehisi-coates-1018-chicago-inc-20171017-story.html
No Lt or Capt increase in 2018 budget . So no watch commander ?
Don't believe that they're not firing city workers for living out. Know 2 on the cfd side that were fired. One was a candidate on probation though. So if you're doing it be careful, they did have pictures of him mowing his lawn so apparently that is something they look for, but why risk it anyway? If you really want it pressure the fop and local 2 to get on it. Unfortunately I don't think there's a lot of support on the fire side.
Whether R.D. Is a good guy or not, if he's living out of the city he should expect consequences. There are a lot of good guys on the job. When he and everyone else got hired, they knew the residency rules. Don't take the job then !
And now you have to swipe in and out nov1
"Commander" RD is a tool, and has been for the last handful+ years.
The end.
Good for him, I do the same, but I rent in Chicago, and own a home elsewhere with the family.
A certain villified blk female capt from 005 and IAD with initials.C.W lived in either Dolton or So Holland f or yrs with dept approval.
Absolutely right. RD has never jammed anyone up and has helped many coppers. One of the most talented street cops I've ever seen. I'm happy for him even though he'll probably hate being stuck in the office.

If you get divorced just for residency purposes, remember that your wife will not get your pension if you die.
Their is absolutely nothing wrong with owning property outside the city. As long as during the work week you have a place in the shitty. Own outside and move the family, rent a shack in this shithole.
To the idiot who suggests a "cheap divorce" and buy in the burbs under the ex wife name. One your now ex wife receives no benefits from you anymore. And two if you die receives no pension from the city. Great plan! Some you guys are fricken idiots. No wonder you find yourselves stripped and fired.
Had a partner get caught living in the burbs in the '80s. He had a bullshit crash pad in the city. Visited it once a week for about 10 minutes. Really lived in burbs since 1967. Was separated from wife, made no difference. IAD photographed him doing household chores, grilling steaks, kissing wife while drinking a martini in backyard, etc.... Retired about a year later just before they were going to fire him. He was lucky. Enjoyed suburban living when it really was suburban living, kids went to great free schools, made it to 50 and is now living the dream in his golden years.
Now, if he would've just had a wedding dress in that shitty crash pad........
😂🤣😂🤣
Fuck you. Subsidize my insurance and I'll leave and go join him. Until then, I stay and spread sunshine.

I understand that it’s standard practice to sincerely hate each and every exempt member and this is the forum to bad-mouth the crap out of them, but the dept finally got one right with Randy. He was promoted to dic, sgt, and Lt off th list...... never once got a merit promotion. And this guy is still the real deal as a a street copper who still even writes his own search warrants as the XO of 007. He is the go to guy for any copper in a pickle regardless of whether they’re a worker or not. 009 is lucky to get him considering the rest of so called talent pool are worthless clout babies. So keep bad mouthing the one that is finally qualified, deserves the spot, and would bend over backwards for any patrolman.

Wow!! You managed to get not just the shaft all the way down! YOU GOT THE BALLS IN YOUR MOUTH ALSO!!! Stop kissing his ass!
anyone who dose anything in the CPD climate is not classified as a worker, but an IDIOT!
No Lt or Capt increase in 2018 budget . So no watch commander ?

looks like anyone higher than 75 on the Lt.'s list may be out of luck.....

I have a friend at the Corporation counsel, he stated that residency investigations outside the initial hiring process are nonexistent, and have been since the Emanuel "wedding dress" court case because as you know Illinois Supreme Court justice Ann Burke herself cautioned her fellow justices that their decision made our residency requirement moot for all intent and purposes.
They know that if someone gets terminated they risk losing in court and the whole requirement being struck down.
And now you know it too

17PB2937 is before the Police Board now with a recommendation of discharge for residency violation. Just saying.
Sorta blows your claim out of the water

What are the particulars? I hope at least he was smart enough to keep the wife's wedding dress in a crawlspace. Any attorney worth a damn can beat it for him citing the Illinois supreme court precedence
The 2018 Chicago budget just came out.
Can anyone tell if captains are being brought back as watch commanders? They would need 66 total to cover all the watches.
Slim to no chance in getting 66 promoted captains......small chance that they will promote 40 Lt's in 2018. So if you're on the list and over 80 there's a good chance you will NOT get promoted.
Suburban cop, how can all of you still accept residency. Your basically slaves to the city of chicago. Fight it, get your right to live where you want.

If you get divorced just for residency purposes, remember that your wife will not get your pension if you die.

Good point, I know a copper who pulled this nonsense and his wife found another guy in the burbs,dumped him and now his wife is happy and the idiot copper is sad! Not worth the risk! So many thought they were so smart with this,got caught got fired and then cried like schoolgirls! Now of course we have the more "edimucated" /sic police and they have that kollege and are smarter than the old-timers!
If you purchase a home in the suburbs, do it in a county other than Cook. Go to doctors, dentists and hospitals near the city. Do not register to vote, and have all mail delivered to the Cityaddress.
Would he bend over backwards because of his gymnastics background? As far as writes his “own” search warrants, you must be one of his three year wonders. Open your eyes kid

That’s funny!
Some back story, Randy coached at Flying High, a suburban gymnastics organization in Countryside. He’s got the Gymnast thing down pat
Rabbi Bruce Rottner and his Kibbutz in Lincolnwood comes to mind.
Everyone thinks this living outside the city is some funny ha ha bullshit.News flash clowns these aholes don’t want to abide by the rules who making up for the taxes they aren’t paying?These mfrs should be fired immediately with no hearing.
You Double Standard Dildoes take the cake for sheer stupidity alone

im guessing your one of the ones freaking out that your southside house will go down in property value. How about stop being a sheep and get residency lifted. Or continue to live in shitcago because your daddy did. Continue to have subpar living.
It is my understanding that they only investigate residency if there is a complaint........so, it's safe to live in the burbs as long as you don't tell your fellow police officers.

Where can one find the budget for 2018?
I find the city's logic which started way back with old man Daley that if you make your money in the city, you should be living in the city. Now that the city has privatized so many functions, these new "employees" don't have to live in the city. Imagine all the parking tickets issues by suburbanites living outside the city but working for the "private companies". Why is it you have to live in the city today, but if they privatize your job tomorrow it is okay to not live in the city. You are still making your money off the city. Maybe these companies and their owners should be required to maintain a residence in Chicago. After all they are making their money off of the city.
Question: Do the hearing officers for the department of revenue have to reside in the city? If not, why not?
“im guessing your one of the ones freaking out that your southside house will go down in property value. How about stop being a sheep and get residency lifted. Or continue to live in shitcago because your daddy did. Continue to have subpar living.”
I pretty much guarantee your one of these bonestrokes that grew up in the suburbs got your bullshit degree and decided you wanted to be the big city poleece. Now the novelty wore off and you have to raise your family in the city and it takes wifeys salary to make ends meet.
Boo Hoo, welcome to the real world. So enlighten everyone what are you doing to get residency lifted, other whine on a blog?
Bet next months salary you haven’t been to one Union meeting your entire pathetic career. Don’t worry urban crusader your kids can still get a taste of your suburban paradise childhood when they visit Grammy at Thanksgiving .
