Ald. Munoz goes wild for TIF, my post! no comments will be denied unlike the original post.

[tonyparrilli]

you shoulda asked him for a FAKE ID!

[BernyStone]

the most hilarious thing is the lighted mirror right outside the door to Munoz's office, wouldn't want to head out with a hair out of place

[wuano1989]

The alderman and his family are as corrupted as could be. I know deep in my heart he got kickbacks by the fake-id ring operation. How could he be an ex-gangbanger and be the alderman of the 22nd ward. He was arrested in the past for gun-possesssion and cocaine possession. Why didn't he get arrested for assaulting that activist could of killed him by him falling down the stairs and then it would be manslaughter. I hope U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald goes after him like Governor Blagojevich.

Great information.

so he wants us to pay for the condo's throgh our taxes. well dood time to reach out to the english speaking community here in little village not all of us speak spanish evan though we look like it. I got a many signitures if your looking for them. whos getting rich of this scheme? we need long term jobs not short term. save the environment by walking to work in our community and save money by not spending in gas. create long term jobs in the neighborhood and not miles away keeping us alive.

good point

[goloso05]

btw, pause the video after a second or two and you could see claudio holding on to the door frame for dear life...! good thing too cuz rick was.. "trying to throw me down the stairs" LOL!

[goloso05]

TELEMUNDO invited Claudio on their show En Contexto last nite, but on the condition that he bring all the footage, of course he didnt show....

[hsinaps77]

ha thats great, he is digging his own hole, ya know

[hsinaps77]

im glad im still blocked from commenting on the original post, it shows how one sided the comments are, get a life claudio...

[goloso05]

So in the original post there's all these people jumpin on the "Rick is a jerk" bandwagon, which proves this video is completely ineffective, people arent event talking about the TIF anymore or the 26th/Kostner Development. I wonder if any of these folks ever attend any community meetings, or are involved in any way to improve their community, or do they just bitch about their alderman cuz they can?

[hsinaps77]

if you ask me claudio and company are up to something... they care more about them selves, then wanting to understand the spicifics, they hear TIF and there like "OMG, what happend to cabrini green will happen to us" and "OMG what happend to maxwell street will happen us" i dindt know if anybody remembers those spots but they were dumps! the vacent lot on 26th and Kostner needs TIF to be developed, it sad that now after all these years we have plan.

[hsinaps77]

and theres people out there that all they do is BITCH and have no plan....HEY CLAUDIO WHATS YOUR PLAN?

[AndThenRealityStruck]

You sound like you're neither a property owner, nor a resident of that community...how well do you know what the entire community wants..

[TiffanyLorae]

true, true goloso05. You're smart.

[srdinero]

I've been a long time resident of Little Village and I am not aware of any community meetings. I know that he holds private reservation-only meetings if he will grant it to you, but I wish that he held town-hall open meetings. I would like to know what really goes on in the neighborhood so that I can help in some way. To my knowledge Mr. Munoz does not really inform us on a regular basis on his accomplishments or lack there of. There appears to be no website, neighborhood blog, or newsletter

[srdinero]

I'm not saying that he is a bad Alderman. All I am saying is that he is too private, as if he is hiding something. I too wish that I can see the whole video unedited, because I cannot conclude that Mr. Munoz went too far by just viewing this biased clip. I like the man because he is very capable and fights for us, but I did not vote for him in the last election, due to the fact that he keeps most of us in the dark. I've also heard bad things about him, not that I believe them.

-my two cents

[ybplain]

If you want the people to know the REAL truth, why don't you post the WHOLE video without the poor sloppy editing?? Just because Rick disagrees with you, and just because you sneak into a private area, doesn't mean he hasn't been a great alderman for over 10 years, Serving the community. What have you done ? If it was such an important issue, why didn't you make an appointment like everyone else to discuss the matter like a man, instead of ambushing him for your own sorry publicity stunt?

[goloso05]

If i was alderman, i'de have a security guard with a taser gun, and then dude would be on the floor talkin' bout "why are you tasing me..."?..

being a constituent or voter doesnt give you the right to act like a fool.

heard he ran like a punk when the cops should up and filed a complaint against the alderman one day later. foolish, silly man.

[hsinaps77]

this is to Lemonlickist, ah ha! so here we go. by you saying he that about Adl. Munoz, that he was a former gangmember, is your telling all other current gangmembers that "thats what you will always be so foreget about reforming yourself" BAD message!! everybody has a chance in this world to do better, you should be ashamed of your self for saying that kind of stuff, SHAME ON YOU LEMOMLICKLIST!!!!

[hsinaps77]

i reposted this because my comments were being deleted by the person who posted the video, I WILL NOT DELETE ANYBODYS COMMENT GOOD OR BAD SO COMMENT AWAY!!!

[hsinaps77]

i posted this because claudio and company kept deleting my comments, so here we go, shoe the whole video claudio! be a man! its a shame that you dont because then averybody will see what really happend, that claudio was being thrown out for not having an appiontment, then he ran up stairs like a little child,barged into the Ald. Munoz office, i would have thrown you out to, taken your camera by force and i would post the raw footage, BE MAN MAN CLAUDIO AND POST THE RAW FOOTAGE

[TiffanyLorae]

and this ain't the Boston Tea Party...WT*($&(#&@*&^$^%^!!! Are you serious?? You don't have any representation...dude, you are tooooo funny!!! Thanks, for the laughs today.

[goloso05]

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION?!?.."Dont look now, the British are coming, the British are coming!

[stormin06]

TIF's don't increase taxes, and you DO have taxation with representation - Ald. Munoz is your representation. And how exactly will this TIF hurt your family? Obviously something needs to be done to help Little Village- that is made clear by the abandoned house you are standing in front of.

[TiffanyLorae]

EXACTLY...old black folk in the south say this about people like you: "You're the pot calling the kettle black"...why are you any better than those you critize?

[goloso05]

oh, i see what happened, someone else had to post their own, cuz we all got blocked from commenting on the original one, well my comments are for the fool who posted the first one. thanks for posting this so we can all comment. good idea

[TiffanyLorae]

EXACTLY GOLOSO5. Claudio, dude, I actually have tried to understand your perspectives. You're not an honest debater if you ERASE other views...I actually thought my perspectives are balanced. How do you expect your peers to respect you if you delete posts. Too sensical? Too fair? Too balanced? WHAT ARE YOU ON???

[goloso05]

what happened to freedom of expression and transperancy, and the video footage before you get pushed. Talk about trying to squash dissenting views! you're just like the people your complaining about

[goloso05]

Yo, what happened to all the comments, yeah its your post dude, but its on a public site, that has a comment function, so what did you expect? only people who agree with your egotistical ass
