* Joe Moore Sits Idly By

In July of 2007, Joe Moore patted himself on the back for drawing up one of his famous non-binding resolutions for his SEIU buddy's. Here's the famous quote from his e-mail blast.
"Finally, every meeting ends with the introduction of new ordinances by the members of the City Council. Along with Aldermen Freddrenna Lyle, Toni Preckwinkle, and Ricardo Munoz, I was proud to co-sponsor an ordinance that would void a new contract that the City made with a private airport security company. The reason is simple: their terms are in violation of Chicago's Living Wage Ordinance. Vigilance on behalf of Chicago's workers is constantly necessary and I continue to pledge to fight for fair wages for all citizens throughout our city".

Well, the Reader reports that non-binding resolution was nothing more than bird cage liner. Joe once again played everyone for suckers. Including the SEIU and those fighting for a living wage.

Joe Moore had a chance to stand up 23 times to bitch about this company since he signed this butt wipe resolution. Yet, hot air Joe Moore did nothing. Take a look at the voucher payments Universal Security has received since that resolution was passed. Don't tell me if Joe Moore is fighting for a living wage. His record says NO!

During the election season, Joe Moore did nothing but grandstand for a living wage. When it came time to 'pay the piper', Joe's horn blew silent.

Moore's record as alderman is so pathetic he has to take pride in ordinances he introduces but go nowhere.

"Don't tell me if Joe Moore is fighting for a living wage"

Haven't we learned that little joey is fighting for a liveing wage, HIS OWN!!!

It comes back to the fact that the goofs that got duped (for the last 16yrs) by joeys bullshit lies at election time, voted him in again! Every election time joey is out tell us about all the "I" dids that joey has done for the people of the ward and all of the things "I" joey will do for us in the future! Which we all know are lies!

Little kevin o'neal popped out of joeys asshole and saw his shadow , which means we will have joey moore as our aldermen for the rest of the year.

Really? Because I have never heard of SIEU.

And lets see... yup, Google hasn't heard of SIEU either.

I live here too said...

Looks like a little typo.
SIEU + Union as the search term in google results in...

Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
Represents 1.5 million public service workers, nurses, hospital staff, nursing home care providers, building services and security guards, in North America.

Joe's not the loser. We, the tax payers, are the losers.

He's playing us ALL for suckers.

craig you are a loser for once we agree

Hugh said...

if you give yourself kudos for introducing ordinances that don't go anywhere, I'd write something up & hand it in every month

Hugh said...

Moore's expectations of himself are so low that he sends out newsletters bragging on co-sponsoring ordinances that go nowhere

someone else might be embarrassed to bring it up, because it begs the obvious question, whatever happen to that ordinance?

but not our Joe Moore
