Mayor Brandon Johnson details investment in Black people at community budget chat – The Triibe

“What is the difference between the 30,000 Ukrainians that are here and the Venezuelans that were sent here? We have spent 20 times more on Chicagoans than we have in this new arrivals mission,” Johnson said. “I am not going to stand for anybody in the White House or any other right-wing extremists who want to divide our communities. We can do both. This city has stood firm as we look to expand reparations opportunities in this city, and we can stand firm to ensure that families who want to make Chicago their home, there’s enough room for all of us.”

Johnson seems to be oblivious of the fact that he is playing with other people’s money. Lets see how long he plays his game without Federal funding. Same goes for Taxwinkle.There is a serious reckoning coming and it won’t be pretty.

Brando should check his latest poll numbers. They suggest that his constituents do not agree that there’s enough room for everyone. They feel like Brando is giving away what used to be theirs.

There’s enough room for everybody. What there is not is enough free money for everybody.
