| Clout in action |
Last week (7/30/2014) a City of Chicago dump truck delivered a pile of wood chips to that residence for the condo owners to use as landscaping.
While getting free wood chips is perfectly legal and the City of Chicago has a page on their website explaining how to obtain the wood chips, the city does not personally deliver wood chips to your front door with a city owned dump-truck and tax-payer manpower.The website explains you must pick the wood chips up at one of the various locations, during certain hours.
That's where clout comes in. See, the person who resides at 1309 West Lunt works for Alderman Joe Moore in his office. The residents name is Ann Hinterman. My source tells me she had the pile of wood chips delivered to her condo by the City of Chicago work crew.
They even put up orange "Do Not Park" signs to accommodate the free delivery.
The condo used the wood chips they needed, but the City of Chicago work crew dropped off more wood chips than were needed for the clouted residents.
What's left is a big pile of wood chips left in the public parkway. Neighbors are left to wonder when the clouted resident is going to have the rest of the pile of wood chips that weren't used - removed.Most likely by a City of Chicago equipment. Using City of Chicago tax-payer funded manpower.
That's how clout works.

This condo is seriously clouted. Records show Tanya Jordan also lives here.
She's the treasurer of the 49th Ward Democratic Party.
whoa those city workers look a lot like da residents of da building. you been drinkin' again ain't ya?
Except Stanley, they are now using them. The issue is the delivery.
Wasn't Joe one of the most outspoken Alderman against those involved in the "Clout on Wheels" investigation a little over a decade ago?
