Why the Unrest in Chicago Has Been Decades in the Making – Time

But at some point, there must be space to demand accountability for the ways that the city redirects tax dollars away from the places with the greatest need."

I read this article and can’t help but laugh. It reads as a Republican Party commercial.

The author writes: “…but as some point there must be space to demand accountability for the ways the city redirects tax dollars away from the places with greatest need”

THERE ALREADY IS. ITS CALLED VOTING AND THE CENTURY LONG DEMOCRATIC RULE OVER THE CITY HAS LEAD TO THIS. BLAME THEM.
