Preckwinkle bends ears, twists arms to help Johnson deliver $70 million in migrant funding – Chicago Sun-Times

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle (left) attends a news conference last year to endorse then mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson outside City Hall in the Loop.Before the lobbying squeeze, key members of the Black Caucus, in closed-door briefings, had strenuously opposed new migrant funding, sources said. Her success leaves Chicago taxpayers to shoulder a burden that has exacerbated historic political tensions between Black and Hispanic Chicagoans and fueled a “what about us” debate between migrants and local residents.

When the ‘dog whistle’ is blown, Blacks in Chicago fall in line like always. So sit down, shut up, shove over, and squeeze in for the illegals.

If you want to know what’s wrong with Chicago and Cook County, take a look at the picture. Class dismissed.
