the Courts." (312) 731-1100 and (312) 731-1505.]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hi! Sherman Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts
|
|
[CCCC], 9800 South Oglesby.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Chicago's City Hall is an interesting study in power. It is even
|
|
considered important by those not *in* the "Windy City" [i.e.
|
|
Chicago].</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting in 1955, the city's strong man for 21 years was Richard
|
|
J. Daley. He got into office because the one slated by the
|
|
Democrats for mayor, Clarence Wagner, was assassinated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You probably know there is no real G.O.P. [i.e. Republican party]
|
|
in this town. So usually, if the Democrats select you to run...
|
|
well, you're in.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 1976, Daley died -- 24 hours after he was administered an
|
|
adulterated swine flu shot. Daley, and Otto Kerner, jr., ran a
|
|
private "nuthouse" near Aurora [Illinois]. Kerner, as local
|
|
county judge, was in charge of the "lunatic docket." Political
|
|
victims sometimes ended up getting plundered this way. Kerner
|
|
went on to become Illinois Governor and later, federal appeals
|
|
judge. (Our work [i.e. CCCC], by the way, sent Kerner to jail for
|
|
bribery -- highest ranking such federal judicial jailbird in
|
|
history.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Daley's son Richie sat in the state legislature specializing,
|
|
naturally, in mental health laws -- to favor his family asylum.
|
|
Richie later became Cook County State's Attorney. [Chicago is in
|
|
Cook County.] In that role, he covered up massive probate fraud.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Example: Former city fire commissioner Quinn was laying in the
|
|
hospital, "bombed out." [i.e. very drunk] The Daleys pushed into
|
|
service a pliable nurse who helped shove a paper under Quinn's
|
|
nose. (The Daleys had a supply of such medical malefactors from
|
|
their private padded-cell factory [i.e. the asylum in Aurora].)
|
|
Thus signed over to the Daley family was some $300000, with
|
|
Richie's brother Michael named as probate executor. Some cousins,
|
|
however, got gypped [i.e. they were "cheated"] and told a court
|
|
reformer all the sordid details.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When maverick mayor Harold Washington was murdered in '87 with a
|
|
poisoned cup of coffee, uh -- who covered it up? Why, naturally,
|
|
State's Attorney Richie Daley. Thus "snuffed out" was Chicago's
|
|
first black mayor.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>And so, father like son, Richie became mayor by murder. He
|
|
carried over police superintendent LeRoy Martin. And, with Martin
|
|
and Daley, Chicago became an open city for dope. Police cars even
|
|
gave safe escort to whole truckloads of dope on the way to a
|
|
police-protected warehouse. Dope money laundries included car
|
|
washes, taverns, and certain auto repair shops.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>About 1992, a special federal grand jury began "sniffing around."
|
|
Unable to feel safe *here*, the grand jury met in *Milwaukee*
|
|
instead! In on the dirty business, local federal officials
|
|
stopped the works. Why? Well, that was going too far. They were
|
|
about to indict the former police superintendent *and* his co-conspirator, Richie Daley. Instead, the crooked federals framed
|
|
two "collectors" for City Hall: Richard R. Reynolds, sr., a
|
|
veteran cop, and his sidekick, Leonard Kerr(?).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Chicago federal trial judge Wayne Anderson is in a position to
|
|
know the truth. That could put Richie [Daley] in prison. *But* --
|
|
if the judge even thinks, however, of doing the right thing...
|
|
well, this town might have another unsolved political
|
|
assassination -- like *him*!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Meanwhile, Richie's wife is money hungry. "Why can't you make
|
|
really *big* loot?! -- like brother Bill, running the dope and
|
|
money laundering Amalgamated Bank, huh?" Richie's wife insists
|
|
[that] he not run for re-election in 1995.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So. Do you think this all is just true of Chicago? Wrong. Other
|
|
big cities are about the same.</p>
