Chief Financial Officer Gene Saffold announced on 6-4-09 that the city of Chicago will send out layoff Notices next week to hundreds of city workers . The unions and city can’t agree on the 16 days off without pay and accept compensatory time instead of cash for overtime . I can, I’m fed up !! Next year is going to be the same thing, we need more money ! No problem get rid of those jobs that are not needed, and the people that don’t come to work, none professional so call tradesmen, and those political  a$$ holes that I work with. Is a shame how it works around here.

Can someone tell me why the City of Chicago have all of the signs on Ontario St, covered up with white plastic ? Why are they putting tickets on cars at 1:15 A.M. 

 This one goes out to my hard working coworkers, city of chicago employees, and regular hard working citizens of chicago that work everyday. I think is bad business when the city of chicago send out there parking ticket crews out in overdrive to issuing out citations, just to make money . We are one of the highest tax paying citizens in the U.S. today. This city make so much money in one day on tickets along . They just wrote me a $60 ticket on 5-30-09 in the park, Just because, my Back tire was one inch on the “parkway” . That would be The curve . I believe it’s just another way of getting  money out of citizens.  I’m going to fight this one !!!!
