After using tax dollars to fund arenas for mediocre teams, making handshake-tax break deals with developers and allowing vast cost overruns to continue unabated in the school systems, what's left? What else could a major metropolitan area need to raise it's significance? How about the highest crime rate in the nation? A crackerjack squad of men in blue.....they can bust the heck out of a ring of rogue gypsum smugglers and will gladly take extra funding from Homeower's Associations for extra protection ($21K in my neighborhood), but when it comes to actually lowering the crime rate and doing their jobs, well.......... Apparently that, is a stretch.
We're blessed with a string of mayors who go from Democrat to Democrap the minute they take office. Somewhere there must be a clause that requires each new mayor to go to bed (metaphorically) with all the primary businesses and developers upon assuming their new role.
Yeah, I'm probably just pissing into the wind here, but I do vote and it's not simply straight party and definitely not for the subsidized raping of unwitting tax payers that are suffering from underfunded and substandard school systems.
