The "windy" City

We have a grand example of our government at work, here in Chicago.
The fat head mayor Daley (who thinks he is an important piece of the puzzle in the nation ... when in reality he is a mere speck) wants the Olympics here in Chicago in 2012. I think he is nuts; but that isn't my issue.
The City cops (whom I work with on almost a daily basis) have been trying to sign a contract with the City for 2 years now. These cops are the same people who protect us every day. Are there some bad seeds? Sure. But, overall, they work hard trying to keep a big City sane.
While Daley and his comrades have all gotten 6% raises in this economy, the CPD (and the CFD) have gotten nothing. They have also now been told that they won't, because of this economy.
OK ... but, Daley wants them to work even HARDER in 4 years when the Olympics could be here? Daley is also hiring in PRIVATE security for the Games as well? What an effing slap in the face!
So ... the IOC is here today and the Fraternal Order of Police and have decided to use today to hold a protest at City Hall.
Good for them. They have been given the shaft from quite some time - a nasty politician (not a former cop) was appointed their Chief (and inept one at best). They have no contract. They get retro pays every few years, which screws them every time with their taxes.
Where are our stinkin priorities? Who are more important: councilmen ... or the men who defend them?
