Editorial: A little more help, beyond all words of solace, for Chicago’s victims of violent crime – Chicago Sun-Times*

"Lightfoot has included in her proposed new city budget a $12.25 million fund, the first of its kind for Chicago, to pay for services for the victims of crimes, including funeral arrangements, counseling and the inevitable filling out of piles of paperwork...In a proposed $16.7 billion budget, $12.25 million is not a great deal of money, but it would allow the city to expand on services currently provided by nonprofit groups and the state."

Where is that plan to fully fund pensions?

What’s that, talk of a tax hike this year, next year?

Who can keep track except the political operatives and politicians, government employees including union employees and nonprofits entirely or heavily dependent on government revenue, contractors and vendors, etc.

Hey all of a sudden that is sounding like a lot of voters.

You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours, financed by taxpayers.
