Another Union Thief, This One a Cop

Nov21
 

Chicago, Ill. — The president of the Chicago Police Sergeants’ Association has been caught stealing over $600,000 in union funds, authorities say.

Sgt. John Pallohusky, 53, spent the stolen funds on gambling trips, lavish dinners, and online stock trading.

He spent more than $163,000 on Ameritrade and $75,000 at restaurants including Ruth’s Chris, Smith & Wollensky, Kinzie Chophouse, Petterino’s, Gibson’s and Lawry’s, the arrest warrant said.

This is just another example of the illegitimacy of unions, really. This guy has been doing this for two years. Did no one miss all that cash for two years? Were there no other union officials paying attention? And if none of this money was missed for 24 months, WHY does the union need this cash in the first place? Obviously no one needed all that money all this time if no one noticed so much was missing.

Further more, we get these stories of one union thief or another ripping off a union nearly every month from unions of all sorts all across the country. It is plain that there is no real oversight of these unions. Democrats and union thugs whine all the time and agitate for oversight of politicians and business, but apparently they don’t want any such oversight of their illegal activities! After all, it would stop these crooks from stealing and we sure don’t want that, eh?
