Joe Moore Sits Idly By

In July of 2007, Joe Moore patted himself on the back for drawing up one of his famous non-binding resolutions for his SIEU buddy's. Here's the famous quote from his e-mail blast.
"Finally, every meeting ends with the introduction of new ordinances by the members of the City Council. Along with Aldermen Freddrenna Lyle, Toni Preckwinkle, and Ricardo Munoz, I was proud to co-sponsor an ordinance that would void a new contract that the City made with a private airport security company. The reason is simple: their terms are in violation of Chicago's Living Wage Ordinance. Vigilance on behalf of Chicago's workers is constantly necessary and I continue to pledge to fight for fair wages for all citizens throughout our city".

Well, the Reader reports that non-binding resolution was nothing more than bird cage liner. Joe once again played everyone for suckers. Including the SIEU and those fighting for a living wage. Joe Moore had a chance to stand up 23 times to bitch about this company since he signed this butt wipe resolution. Yet, hot air Joe Moore did nothing. Take a look at the voucher payments Universal Security has received since that resolution was passed. Don't tell me if Joe Moore is fighting for a living wage. His record says NO!

During the election season, Joe Moore did nothing but grandstand for a living wage. When it came time to 'pay the piper', Joe's horn blew silent.
