Even modest rainfall causes Centreville, 10 minutes from downtown St Louis, to be overwhelmed by sewage that overwhelms homes and streets. Residents of the majority-Black community that have endured long-term flooding from sewage claim that a proposed plan to remedy the issue is insufficient.
This is just a ridiculous article. The town is in a floodplain that experiences almost yearly flooding. The plan, let’s spend $23 million to fix the sewer system that’s going to be destroyed after the next flood. Oh wait, it’s a majority run black community so it must be done or the ugly “wassist” word will, be uttered. How about having the government buy out the residents, tear down the structures and have the people relocate to higher ground like it’s been done dozens of times before? Nope, cant do because that would be “wassist”.
Government buy out residents and move them to higher ground, absolutely and positively correct your comment makes sense, but remember who is in Springfield and Washington.
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.
