Certainly the root of this is the standard Chicago Democrat causes: Corruption, influence peddling, greed, theft of taxpayer dollars. Likley the fired employees werent willing to participate in such crimes or weren’t given enough percentage of the loot to participate. Just more Dorothy Goatmeat Brown-like activity at the Treasurers office.

Melissa doesn’t need 24/7 protection. Instead, she needs to leave Garfield Park. ??

Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
