Audio and summary
Borrowing-with-the-intent-to-steal is what this really is.
Stealing from either the lenders or the taxpayers or both.
This is what happens when you hire a school teacher/ union flack, instead of a real business leader. This man has zero private business experience to run a city
Chicago is heading toward junk bond status. That translates to paying higher interest rates which Mayor Johvious is ob!ivious of. He is simply stupid. He doesn’t know there is no line item in the budget for funding illegal immigrants. Borrowing billions at high interest rate hastens the demise of a great city.
Terrible. In the Braindead mayoral career that word should used alot
