No, not Ald. Burt Natarus (42nd).
This one is courtesy of Arenda Troutman, the defeated incumbent alderman of the 20th Ward. Note: incumbent aldermen in Chicago only leave office if they die, or retire and appoint their children. To actually be VOTED out, they have to have screwed up really, really badly.
During her almost 3-minute tirade, she blames voting irregularities, the federal government and a media conspiracy against her.
The election results below her show the reason for her ire. With 86% of precincts reporting, she is being buried by challenger Willie Cochran, 62% to 32%.
She does not mention that she is being investigated by the feds for shaking down a developer concerning a vacant parcel of land that wasn’t even in her ward. (She’s on audio tape from that little episode calling herself and her city council colleagues “ho’s”.) Or that an envelope addressed from the Police Department to her at her office was found in the apartment of a drug dealer. Or that said drug dealer was seen driving her $50,000 Escalade.
This election, her friends deserted her. Worse for any politician, so did her enemies.
About 48 seconds in, you’ll hear a voice say “Quit whining, lady. You lost!” I wonder who that could have been;-)
On a happier note, 3rd Ward candidate Pat Dowell has forced incumbent Dorothy Tillman “The Hat” into an April 17 runoff election.
UPDATE: On April 17, Dowell won.

It’s amazing how long the feds drag their feet on these matters. And I hope Tillman’s next.

she is a dog. I cant wait for her to go to the clink
Well, if she comes …
Well, if she comes out of this — and with a sharp legal team, it’s a possibility — I hope that for the rest of her working career she remembers what our mothers all tried to teach us: that we’re judged by the company we keep.
But for once in my life, I’d like to live in a ward that runs so efficiently I don’t even have to know who the alderman IS. And those of you who live in wards with really dedicated aldermen and precinct captains know exactly what I mean.
well I hope she …
well I hope she comes out ok in that investigation, remember, we are a society that is based on mercy, not guilt, – - “innocent until proven guilty”, so Arenda Troutman is still an INNOCENT good citizen as there has been NO conviction !
We shouldn’t kick people when they down ! She is a church going woman and let’s give her a break.
But there’s still …
But there’s still that federal investigation hanging over her head. Larry Bullock, Ambrosio Medrano, Mel Reynolds, Dan Rostenkowski, Tyrone Kenner, Miriam Santos, Betty Loren-Maltese, Lawrence Bloom(!); the list goes on. And the feds don’t seem to show any particular mercy on women with kids.
unfortuneately once …
unfortuneately once your OUT in Chicago politics, your finished, it is a low probability she will be able to stage a political comeback, she might have to simply join the work force and work 9-5 like the rest of us UNLESS she saved all the money made during the political years { Alderman get paid 150,000 a yr }
there is NO excuse for a Chicago alderman to not become a millionaire after about 7 yrs.
She still has great potential, beauty and talent.
The thing is, she …
The thing is, she did speak up for this community when IDOT wanted to close Dan Ryan ramps where the expressway runs through her ward. (Tillman kept her mouth firmly shut.) But with the problems drugs have caused in our neighborhoods, for Arenda to even ociate with a known drug dealer is undermining everything neighborhood leaders and the police are trying to do.
All I hear from her …
All I hear from her mouth is blah blah blah blah blah
I feel sorry for …
I feel sorry for her, she seems to be a hurt woman who’s life is in trouble, no doubt she started out well in her youth, educated, attractive, idealistic, – - so sad to see her melt into a shell of what could have been, – - according to media reports she basically hung out with some gang leader romantically or at least loaned the fella her vehicle a year or two ago, I like Arenda, just wish she had made wiser choices with whom she ociated with.
Pat Dowell’s …
Pat Dowell’s after-election party at the Chicago Urban League’s Swift Mansion. She had just forced incumbent 3rd Ward alderman Dorothy Tillman into a runoff, with 39% of the vote to Tillman’s 42% in a five-person race. If the other three hadn’t been in it, Dowell would have trounced Tillman, and this would have been The Party of the Century.
