Local leaders reflect on Evanston’s reparations effort, one year later – Daily Northwestern

Several Evanston residents, including Evanston Live TV co-host Meleika Gardner, have advocated for direct cash payments. “Getting new windows should not represent all of the pain (of Black people). I don’t understand who at the city told the Reparations Committee it had to be about housing because there’s no other way to prove that a Black person has experienced racism or discrimination.”

So much confusion, upper middle class liberals know what is best for black people. So they argue over how the blacks will be spending the money they are about to rain down upon them in their fake tax payer funded generosity.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
