I would like you to investigate Tom Dart’s testing for sheriff. They say I failed written test,finally merit board told me my score was 74.87 and passing was 75. I keep getting run around from merit board and Tom Dart never available.They told me to contact testing people to and set up an appointment to go over my test,no response from them.Other white males in my neighborhood were told they failed also.We are being passed over for quota. They are making $15 a pop for testing.Money making scam. Please help all the ones who have been wrong.

I think it is unprofessional and disrespecful for Walter Jacobson to call our president “Mr. Obama” instead of “President Obama” while he is anchoring the news. It’s one thing to do it while he is giving his “perspective” and quite another when he is reporting the days news. Like all Americans he is entitled to have his opinion of our president. BUT I think it is wrong to show such bias when reporting the news. Despite his personal feelings he is still our president and thus deserves respect!

I have been targeted by some crooked police officers in Illinois in 023, also 024 and now in Evanston I was homeless when I forced out of my apartment of Arizona by Sheriff Joesph Arpaio and his good old boys, when I left Sky Hap-or airport. The good old boys which appeared in judge uniforms police officer uniforms decided to relay their tactic’s through some non-for-profit-organizations

In which I sign up with some of these crooked police have carried out their demands also their tactic’s as I said as I said before, I am lucky to be alive to tell my story in depth if you are interested please contact me my number is 773-991-4034 this story happens to be true my arrest history is false the only thing I am guilty of is when, I was young both were involving car incidents driving hitting several cars while intoxicated after driving back from Urbana college the second time, I was in a car with others one of them had Herb on them at C.V.S High School when ask to exit the car the passenger spill it on the front seat,

I was guilty by association but I wasn’t not aware of this the rest of these crime cases were manipulated by hate groups in 023 district and has followed me through 024 district now into Evanston in which I suspect was also manipulated by some of the non-for-profit-organization in which I went to help for please notify me if you would be willing to help me make a change in my home-town

Looking for a lead story concerning the Chicago Streets and Sanitation Department? To see more wasted tax payer dollars, go to Daman and Cullerton around 6:30 AM. Every day the street is packed with garbage trucks, usually more than three, parked on the side of the road.

Why does this neigborhood need garbage picked up every day? Why does it take more than one truck to do this? Seems like a big waste of equipment and man power.

Something stinks.

Your commentary today, Jan 11, 2011 – You used the words Democrat Party but did not use the words Republic Party. Why?? I’ve noticed this strange trend started with Fox News. Did you know, party is the noun and Democratic is the adjective. Please use the proper English.

Dear Mr Jabcbson:
The company Proactiv Solutions advertised by many celebrities such as Katy Perry, Juliann Hoffman to name a few, are representing a company that takes advantage of people on the web. I ordered on the internet the Proactiv advance blemishing treatment, and was redirectied to the Proactiv solutions page. I received in the mail a kit along with the blemishing cream at a cost of 35.94. I did not know I had joined a membership, I thought I would just get the cream I ordered. Then a second kit arrived the following month at a cost of 39.94, I called the 800 number to complain, and cancel the membership. The rep told me to mail the kit back to the company for a refund. I did, back in Nov. of 2010. Then the credit card was charged again for 29.94 and then refunded the month of Dec 2010, after I cancelled the membership. I recd. another bill Jan 2011 for 29.95 past due for this proactiv membership, I called the 800 number again and he said my membership was never cancelled. I have since cancelled the credit card the proactiv had. I also have reported this to the BBB. and my next step is to write a letter to the attorney general Lisa Madigan. How can they force people to continue a membership they don’t want?

I was a young intern in the late 70′s for the Bob and Betty Show on News Radio 780. Al Parker ,from ABC, was kind to place me at the station b/c of his confidence in me as an “older” student at Columbia College. Walter and Bill were at the height of their career. Tim O’Donnell was the Editorial Director going after Mayor Jane Byrne in his nightly rants. Ahhhhh…..those were the days. I would see Walter in the hallway on the second floor and have some delightful conversations. Bill always gave me a very plesant smile and hello. So, I was thrilled to hear they would be back last year. Little did I know I would be diagnosed with cancer a month later. My journey through surgeries and chemo and all the challenges were made a bit easier when I could tune in to what felt like my familar friends, Bill and Walter. So, as I watched the news again tonight in my battle to regain my strength, I want to simply say thank you. Thank you for delivering the news with integrity and warmth. I recently emailed Tim to let him know you guys were on the air again. He, too, celebrates your sucess. Good stuff….O, how I love living in Chicago and the two of you.
Thanks for the memories….thanks for today.
warmly,
Carol Hagen

Mr. Jacobson, I have a concern that I thought you may be interested in, I recieved a bill in the mail from the City of Chicago for parking tickets yesterday dated as far back as 1990 in the amount of $320.00, are you kidding? Is our city that desperate? Can they do that? This is the first notice I have ever recieved that I have any outstanding unpaid parking tickets, what have they been doing for 21 years? Why haven’t I been notified sooner if in fact they have not been paid. Do I have to pay these

Dear Walter, 1) how many I-pass holders are there? 2) what is the average amount of $’s on the account? NOW, If it’s $25 and there is a million holders, which would be some $25,000,000 per million, where is that money held? Is this another pyramid scam? Is it a big piggy bank slush fund? Could they pay us all back if we boycott and want our i-pass money back today? Here’s a can of worms for you to open. I couldn’t get an answer on where the money is. The question was sent to HIGHER AUTHORITY.
