"'There’s a humanitarian crisis in the Black community,' said Cata Truss, who sued (Johnson) because the local park (now closed to make room for a migrant shelter) helped keep her five sons out of trouble. 'But every time we have a need in our community, we’re told that there are no funds. There’s no money for us.'... Chicagoans are seeing there’s plenty of money as long as a group has the right definition of 'crisis' to face. Johnson got the city to back a cease-fire in Gaza, but where’s the political clout and resources for one in Englewood?"

ALL KIDDING ASIDE……..WE REALLY NEED TO ELECT A MAYOR SOON!!!!!!!
But he’s a black man raising a black family with his black wife in a black city that had time to hang out with black folks at the Grammys. So there’s that.
Yep, you vote these crooks in and this is what you get. She is obviously right…somehow they find Billions for this Illegal Immigrant fiasco, but they have no money for the people that actually live here and pay taxes. Vote-them-out.
Sorry Cata, Democrat leaders don’t care who the Democrat votes from, because they always come! That’s the joys of living in a one-party state! And when your community votes 95%+ for the Black Democrat just because he’s the Black Democrat, you deserve to get treated poorly by said politicians.
