New Chicago mayor’s economic blueprint is… something else

 

 

After years of shootings, riots, looting, police quitting and businesses leaving the city, Chicago voters recently decided they’d had enough of left-wing policies.

 

Wait, no they didn’t — they elected a Democrat who is even farther to the Left than they mayor they voted out of office.

 

Now it’s time for the city to find out what they voted for. Mayor Brandon Johnson has released his economic blueprint, and it’s something:

 

 

I don't think they could have formed a better plan to chase people out of the city if they tried.

All that and cutting Police budget by 9% across the board.

Yup, this was one of the worst deals anyone has ever done. Mayor Daley sold the parking meters for quick cash to support political allies.

Gov. Pritzker hopes Chicagoans feel safer with ‘yellow-vested Peacekeepers’ on the streets

 

Just ahead of the start of Memorial Day weekend, WGN reported that 12 people were shot in Chicago overnight, three of them fatally:

 

But Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wants everybody in the city to know that they should feel much safer this weekend because of a new security measure:

 

This weekend, Chicagoans should expect to see yellow-vested Peacekeepers on the streets.

As part of the state's anti-violence strategy with a community-focused approach, these outreach workers will help de-escalate and keep our neighborhoods safe.

Gunfire shuts down popular Chicago beach hours after opening for the season

by Patrick Reilly

 

A Chicago beach was closed hours after it opened for the summer season when shots were fired during a large brawl on Friday, according to police. The fight broke out among a group of 80 to 100 teenagers at North Avenue Beach around 1:30 p.m., police said. During the fracas, someone pulled out a gun and fired a shot, Fox 32 reported. Fortunately, no one was struck. A juvenile was taken into police custody. The weapon has not been recovered, cops said. The beach was temporarily shut down as police investigated.

Was just at a wedding and speaking with someone in the arts from Chicago… actively working on moving her family to Indiana because despite loving the city the crime has continuing to grow more violent, frequent and pervasive and impacting their community directly.

Seems to me in a city where an endless variety of tax schemes are considered, this is a fixable problem if the desire is there.

Its a dance of death between the political machine and the citizens of Chicago where logic is non-existent.  The only people in Chicago that will stop voting Democratic are in the Cemetery.  And its likely many of them are still voting that way every 2, 4, and 6 years.

The ignorance here is pretty astounding. It’s clear you know nothing about Chicago other than what your bubble force feeds you. The Daleys are gone, and Madigan is going to trial. The establishment mayoral candidate lost. Rochester has a higher homicide rate and Buffalo’s homicide rate is just shy of Chicago.  And yet you spout nonsense about the machine and crime, pretending you know anything about what it’s like to live here. 
 

The violence capital of the country is a fight between St Louis and New Orleans. Chicago’s homicide rate isn’t even half off that of either of those cities, but I guess none of the actual facts fit your narrative. So just keep throwing stones and shouting your ignorance to the world. 
 

Maybe if the GOP had actual real solutions instead of just pandering to the ignorant, they would have a chance. But I wouldn’t hold my breath.
