The slow news day continues. Investigative reporter Tom Mannis did some deep digging yesterday. Mannis went the extra mile to get this exclusive look at Joe Moore's personal habit of not practicing what he preaches.
"Many of know that Alderman Joe Moore is full of crap, but here's further proof that the 49th Ward Dictator is a hypocrite. He claims to be the Green Alderman. Let's see why green really does not matter to Moore. Joe lives in a big house on Fargo, about two blocks from his ward office. Yet, he often drives his car to work. Nice carbon footprint. How much energy must it take to heat the big house in winter? Nice carbon footprint. Are there solar panels anywhere in sight? Nope. The photo here shows Joe's trash, taken yesterday evening."

"Investigative Journalist Tom Mannis..."?????
Oh please.
Excuse me, it was "Investigative Reporter, Tom Mannis..."
Every bit as funny.
It's a dirty job. Someone has to do it.
Joe's hypocracy on "green" issues is disgusting.
Now, before I start, let me make it clear that I am holding our alderman responsible for his own positions and statements, and calling on him to Lead By Example.
I am NOT, repeat NOT, here slamming individual
citizens of this ward for their behaviors, so if you, a random resident of the 49th, choose to continue to maintain a carbon footprint the size of BigFoot and want to drive to work downtown in your Hummer2, well, it's your effing gas, not mine.
Joe lives within 3 blocks of his ward office, within 3 blocks of a major rail line that runs 24/7, within 6 blocks of a major supermarket that delivers, within a block of the 147 bus, and within 6 blocks of the 290 bus. He can eaily take a train to council meetings at City Hall, and he can allocate his other on-job time as he sees fit. If ANYONE in this ward can easily dispense with a car, it's Joe Moore.
And his house looks like a rathole. I know a guy in Schaumburg, a slob whose place made Schaumburg's "dirty dozen" list of the worst-maintained houses in the town, and it doesn't look any worse than Joe's dump. Joe is leading our slumlords by example.
Hey, Joe, walk your talk. Do what I do. Get rid of your car, run your a/c only when it's over 95 degrees, and otherwise Lead By Example.
If you can't do that, then shut the phuque up about environmental and fuel use issues. We've already got Chief Hypocrite St. Al Gore of the 190,000KwH a year electrical usage,destroying the credibility of the environmental and Peak Oil mitigation movements, so we don't need you, too.
And fix up your house, willya? You're dragging down property values and insulting people who maintain their properties properly.
How does JoMo justify the bigbox HomeDepot bucket? It is ok for JoMo to shop at HomeDepot because it is in Evanston? Will ACORN stop supporting JoMo on the bigbox issue because of his hypocrisy?
Slow news day, Craig? What about the fact that we LOST the Gale Community Center?
