Hilarious

  • What if a giant cockroach were spotted crawling up a wall in the City Council chambers while the department head, whose job includes pest control, was on the hot seat at budget hearings?

    Would it feel like throwing a dinner party and having a big bug crawl across the plate of one of your guests?

    Kind of, judging from the reaction it got Thursday from Fleet and Facilities Management Commissioner David Reynolds.

    To say Reynolds was embarrassed would be an understatement. Especially when Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) called attention to it, then asked what the department’s budget was for pest control.
Obviously, not quite enough.

But you can't blame the cockroach. It was just mingling with his peers. You turn on the lights and aldercreatures scatter almost as fast.

The roach was searching for his seat. It's ok to be late to just a part time job.

Tell facilities Director Bonita "Bonnie" Amato to start cleaning her desk with all those stacks of papers and start inspecting our Department facilities. She can starry with the HQ bathrooms with no water pressure in urinals and sinks, soap containers for that pink soap that were once used for other products, and elevator carpet that is older than my underwear should be replaced. HQ is just one of many buildings that are hazards and filthy. Bonnie, it's probably time to replace all the carpeting at HQ; you better call EMPIRE, stat! Don't get me started on the filth in the 006th District mens locker room: disgusting! The sinks don't even work!

Calling the roach a politician is an insult to the roach.

AlderCreatures and Cockroaches are closely related and have similar DNA.

ot -
Is anyone at HQ questioning why the Admin Mgr. of the Academy failed to spend $161,000.00 that remained in the Tri-River acct. from last year?

The $$ was earmarked for In-Service training.

Someone needs to demand an audit of how she has managed these funds of the past several years.

How f-ing incompetent!

I know that they haven't sent any exterminators to any firehouses in over two years. "It's just not in the budget."

It was placed on the wall by an Alderthief right after Facilities Mgr. Reynolds testified.

Most of them carry 'drop-roaches' in pill vials so if they are ever charged for a meal in their ward, they pull out the Rhoach* (sic) and drop it in their empty plate and make a stink until they pick up the check.

* Rhoach: so named after their boss who once decreed that, "No Alderman can ever kill a cockroach...it's professional courtesy."

You're Welcome.
