This is more then a financial discloure not only for the cops but their families, relatives, father in laws, etc. It extends far beyond just the one cop who works gangs and narco. I hope the cops stand their ground and if they don't get an order to stop it then have all the gang cops and narco guys transferr out and let the mayor deal with the gang violence these guys put up with every day. They are the good guys. Thanks Celeste and I agree with you as so do many of us.

No elected representatives involved. Only a federal judge. Piffle, Alan. I'm rarely on the side of the union, but this time Judge Feess, who's convinced he's dealing with old time bribe-taking Chicago cops, or whatever. As a command staff guy said to me in an unguarded moment, "Look, historically, we might beat you up, but we don't take your wallet." That's about right.

Elected representatives decided that the benefits of this disclosure will outweigh the costs. If they turn out to be wrong, get rid of them.

They won't leave their cushy, union jobs until they retire earlier than they should. I agree with Judge Feess and hope the whiny cops lose.
