BS An honest man in Chicago is one who, once bought, stays bought.

Seems about as useless as tits on a bull.

I'm guessing the Ethics board dug up something on Rahm Emanuel?

That headline is funny

Someone must have needed to money to pay for some hookers and coke.

daxxenos: Odd that regardless of this, Chicago's Number One Son is leading in cooked polls, which are never doubted by the Media?

And therfore thusly has it been asked, HERPITY DERPITY DERP HUURRR???

daxxenos: That in the 20 years of it's existence, it has never managed to find any wrong doing, while in that time 20 aldermen have been convicted on various charges...

Sounds like the easiest paycheck on the planet.

HOTW?

It's a big conspiracy. Even the Wall Street Journal and Fox News polls are in the tank for Fartbongo.

That guy in the background: "Oh you!"

The Board's members and its Executive Director are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by City Council. Board members serve staggered 4 year terms without pay and are independent, and can be removed only for cause, with the written approval of remaining Board members. The Board meets monthly and is staffed by seven full-time employees, including its Executive Director.

Is it legal for the mayor to do this?

The ethics board mails you a strongly worded letter, you mail them anthrax. It's the Chicago way.

Well, if there are zero remaining board members, how many signatures per member can you...



Oh, dear.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel today dumped the entire board that oversees enforcement of ethics and campaign finance rules at City Hall, calling it "a new day for ethics and accountability in Chicago."

I get his point.There's no reason to have people "oversee" that which doesn't exist.

bingo.

Somebody bring out the escape goat

Meanwhile in San Francisco you have to wear pants now.

Chicago also has the best pizza in the world.

I bet Rahm Emanuel will write another op-ed about how amazingly legal it is.

What's next telling a business they can't come into his city because he doesn't agree with them?

/wonder when they'll get around to hiring a new ethics board...
//also when is Rahm's term up?

Probably not, but when did that ever stop Hizzoner?

I'm sure they were all compensated with 7 digit severance packages.

pedobearapproved: also when is Rahm's term up?

When he is elected senator.

Why wuold the have a ethnic board? We are all Americans . Oh........... never mind

Crime doesn't pay.


But the hours are nice.

We should ALL have ethics boards, for we are ALL corrupt.

So, about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop.

joonyer: So, about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop.

Not if you actually hold local people accountable locally, man.

I'm from Chicago and I'm getting a big kick outta these replies.

Indubitably: joonyer: So, about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop.

Not if you actually hold local people accountable locally, man.

Indubitably yes. However this particular board of ethics failed at their very basic single core function. Ergo...

Good, I'm looking for a job and will relocate to Chicago, hiring?

freewill: Vectron: Is it legal for the mayor to do this?

Maybe not, but it's totally ethical.

We know this because the Ethics Board is silent on the topic.

There's a storm coming...

Chicago trifecta now in play.

FTFA: That in the 20 years of it's existence, it has never managed to find any wrong doing, while in that time 20 aldermen have been convicted on various charges...

That's a rather misleading accusation. The Chicago Ethics Board was specifically prohibited by its organic ordinance from investigating aldermen. The Board doesn't even receive the Aldermen's annual ethics filing like they do from city employees. The Aldermen submit theirs to the City Clerk in her capacity as Clerk of the City Council.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: I'm not surprised they had this board at all. Chicago is filled with ethnics.

*tsk tsk*

Too easy.

Fark it, Move the state capitol to Joliet.

They can run it out of the Farking Penitentury.
/That goes double for the Chicage city government.
//Let's be honest, this is the city that made Capone famous....

Carrying Ballots???

nimeye: Chicago also has the best pizza in the world.

You're hired.
