Mayor Brandon Johnson announces Chicago’s summer safety plan ahead of busy Memorial Day weekend – CBS2 (Chicago)

"We're talking about decades of disinvestments. It's going to take all of us as a collective to respond to decades-old problems," Johnson said. The CTA said, beginning June 23, its going to give 250 students and young adults a 7-week paid summer internship. The Chicago Park District said they're bringing back late-night basketball and soccer games to provide a safe nighttime activity for youths.

Yes, the thugs will be interested in summer jobs, basketball, and soccer. Goofy, goofy, goofy.

The “decades-old problems” are a lack of respect for people’s safety and property, no work ethic, no study ethic, and lack of parental involvement to include guidance and discipline.

“We’re talking about decades of disinvestments. It’s going to take all of us as a collective to respond to decades-old problems,” Johnson said”?
In other words, get ready for some new Taxes or some other “revenue enhancements’. :-/

Will this unintelligent, race baiting excuse of a mayor ever quit crying about things that should’ve and would’ve been resolved shortly after 1964 if not for his ilk demanding more to keep the equity/ welfare complex in high gear? Will he ever admit the problem is a sub- class that takes no responsibility for anything, most prominently their gangs of roving, “non- demonized “ youths? This clown makes Lightfoot look like a half- decent mayor, no small feat.
