Evanston was the first city in the nation to pass a reparations plan, pledging $10 million over a decade to Black residents. The reparations fund did not receive any philanthropic donations this year as of Jan. 31, so the fund is primarily supported by a cannabis sales tax and real estate tax money.
I would love to find out how these people are picked for reparations.
Also if they have been on any government funded programs or if they got federal funds for school ,like scholarships. See how much they’ve gotten in free money
Paid for partly by selling dope, affirming our unofficial tagline at Wirepoints: “Where the jokes write themselves.”

I wonder if the $25K is taxable as income, how would “reparations” be categorized…? Perhaps a previous business loss or a business expense, deferred income from 1865? Or did they figure a way to even eliminate the tax.

Not many years ago, I considered moving there. Yikes.
This racist giveaway is a cruel joke played on hapless Evanston taxpayers.
Will this provide absolution for faux-guilt-ridden AWFLs? Nope.

Shame on Evanston! $25K is not enough! There are many multi-millionaires in Evanston that can kick in more. How about some real reparations like $500,000 each! That’s real reparations. Have at it Evanston, show the way!

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
