GEB Attorney in attendance along with Jim McGough and members of the press. Lazzaretto complained about inaccuracies reported but was not able to indicate what they were.

Jim McGough made public offer to provide all public documents on the internet to members if Bloch and GEB attorney provided him with electronic copies. Luskin agreed to do so.

McGough is still waiting for Bloch to provide electronic copies of Chicago District Council hearings so Jim can publish at no cost information members need to exercise right of self governance. Will give prominent display on internet when McGough receives electronic copies. 

Published Bobby "The Beak" Siegel's sentencing case decision. Bobby is on record as saying that Angelo Fosco was a "street boss in Chicago"

Facts: The Chicago Laborers District Council under trustee Robert Bloch has had one communication with the laborers to date and has yet to inform the members the reasons why the district council was put into trusteeship. The deputy trustees, Romano, Sladowski, and Guilfoyle were never vetted by the Inspector general agents in Chicago.  Guilfoyle used to work for Combined Counties Police Association where CrimeDawg is webmaster.Not one officer has anything good to say about Guilfoyle, formerly of SEIU, a LIUNA competitor. Law enforcement authorities in Chicago tell CrimeDawg Guilfoyle would steal pennies from the eyes of a dead man. The 18 months of trusteeship are up today and unless convincing reasons are given to continue the trusteeship, it is presumed to be invalid under LMRDA. The RICO suit will demonstrate why it should be kept in trusteeship indefinitely. The Laborers Union in Chicago does not need carpetbaggers from the steelworkers or service employees unions to reform itself. Just appoint as officers regular members like "sacrificial lamb" Burke  to do their job and have as their superiors someone who knows how unions operate and knows the laborers union's  constitution and not the U.S. tax code. The three deputy trustees have one thing in common-they have all been strong supporters of the democratic party and have worked for unions (SEIU especially) that have tried to take laborers' jobs at lower wages so their democratic mayors like "little big man" won't have to raise property taxes for higher wages.Lazzaretto had members of the laborers union in local 152 train the SEIU employees who were stealing their jobs at Commonwealth Edison's nuclear power plant in Zion Illinois.

Lake County covers the Northern suburbs of Chicago all the way to the Wisconsin state line-the richest area of the state. According to DOJ and LIUNA statements, organized crime controls the south suburbs of Chicago (local 5-Chicago heights), the western suburbs of Chicago (local 225), the city proper (locals 1, 2, 76, 1001. 1006) but does not control Lake county. Give me a break!!! Ronny Fino had advised me many times prior to the filing of the complaint against the district council that John "Michael" Lazzaretto would be Coia's point man to take over control of the assets of the Chicago District Council's pension fund. Bloch's re-appointment of Lazzaretto as pension fund trustee facilitated this process. Lazzaretto served many years as trustee to the pension fund with Vincent Solano yet never raised any objection to having organized crime's north side crime boss in that fiduciary capacity. Bloch also conveniently appointed his law partner as new counsel to the pension fund - a clear violation of the canons of ethics that prohibit self dealings and arms length arrangements.

Laborers for JUSTICE offered in early 1998 to publish on the internet free of charge the transcripts of the Chicago Laborers District Council trusteeship hearings that were made public via court filings. Bloch initially indicated his willingness to do this as a means of educating union members but later reneged on his commitment because he did not want to alienate council delegates. In his one mediocre mailing to union members, Bloch devoted one half of a paragraph in his newsletter to announce the district council was under trusteeship but did not reveal the reasons for the trusteeship. This is reform? Spare the bullshit. The deputy trustees, Sladowski, Romano, and Guilfoyle were never vetted by the IG's office. Guilfoyle, according to law enforcement authorities, would steal pennies from the eyes of a dead man given the chance.
