A disappointing first year for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson – Wirepoints

Nearly one year ago, Chicagoans cheered Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s removal from office. In her place was Brandon Johnson, who promised a more inclusive approach to building a “better, stronger, safer Chicago.” It hasn’t turned out that way. Today, there’s little disagreement that Mayor Johnson has disappointed on most key issues. On crime. On policing. On migrants. On education. On governance. Even on foreign affairs.
When you hear the complaints from Illinois politicians, remember the hypocrisy: 40,000 bused to Chicago, but 161,562 allowed to fly directly to Florida.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about the problems and costs of the Chicago Bears’ proposed new stadium, why its unlikely to happen in its current form, why the ongoing wave of violent crimes makes residents scared of the city, and why the funeral of slain police officer Luis Huesca matters to Mayor Johnson’s reputation.

Technology is racist. Cameras are racist. Evidence is racist. Public engagement is racist. Accountability is racist. Data is racist.
That’s the mindset of the people proposing this “plan”.
Isn’t the use of license plate readers & pod cam technology all part of the systemic racist policing strategies for CTU/Brandon woke progressive base (upperincome white elites)?
All that money went to the illegals
No mention by CTU/Brandon or Snelling about what’s happen to all the $10s? or $100s? of millions (I can’t keep track) handed out to community “violence interrupter” non-profit programs?? All those $ are flushed down the toilet I assume.
