WELCOME BACK, BROTHER! Second City Cop blog has returned!

The Second City Cop blog has returned!  We love the SCC blog and the insider information he and his dad provided to tens of thousands of readers each and every day.  

Not only did they give us as Guns Save Life some great snippets now and then, but we also got some other goodies from them privately.

Just today, as a sample of his candid and frank content, he posted this:

The Candidates

 As we said a few posts down, this list of candidates for supernintendo are decidedly unimpressive.

Some observations:

• Shon Barnes – former COPA hack, is the token outsider;
• Donna Rowling – we’re told she doesn’t have a single merit promotion in her background, so once again, the illusion of having someone competent inserted into the process;
• Angel Novalez – wounded in the line of duty, so he actually saw the street. Likely a wave at a bloc aldercreatures that this committee really really tried to find a qualified Hispanic;
• Migdalia Bulnes – multiple merit with few accomplishments on her record; Dark horse for first female super that groot didn’t get to do;
• Ernest Cato III – didn’t he retire? Multi-merit, rumored to be somewhat capable….and somewhat rah-rah for whatever politico needs him to be;
• Larry Snelling – another muti-merit whose testimony in Federal Court regarding Use of Force interpretations and instruction of same led to some very expensive verdicts.

As we said – unimpressive. A number of better candidates were overlooked and dismissed because Mayor BJ doesn’t need to be overshadowed this early in his tenure.

 

Speaking of Underwater Cars…

When can we expect a tally of the bill for the NASCAR event? 

We think certain officials were bragging about an economic impact of something in the neighborhood of $130 million. Tying it to the Fourth of July holiday was a stroke of ….what’s the opposite of genius?

Was there rain insurance? Rain checks? Concert make-up nights? And after shutting down a largish portion of lakefront, all of Grant Park and roads in-and-out of the lately deserted city streets, one has to weight the economic losses against the race event that almost wasn’t.

While we were gone, did anyone in the media form an actual investigative unit for these things?

Or is that too much to hope for?
