Bottomless Pit?
More money.....that Chicago doesn't have:
With no end in sight to Chicago’s migrant crisis, the City Council agreed Thursday to throw another $34.5 million into what is becoming a bottomless pit for Chicago taxpayers.
In companion votes that rubbed the same old wounds, alderpersons authorized a $33 million federal Homeland Security grant for the care and feeding of asylum-seekers and agreed to spend $1.5 million in tax increment financing funds to buy a 10.7-acre property at 3034 W. Foster Ave. formerly used by the U.S. Marine Corps and convert it into a shelter for up to 550 migrants.
The votes followed a debate that, once again, showcased mounting tensions between the immediate need to house, feed, clothe and care for asylum seekers and the equally pressing demand to tend to Chicago’s own regular social service needs.
Amazingly, the above paragraphs appear under the byline of Fran Spielman, who has carried so much water for the Daley, Rahm and Groot administrations, she might as well be named Jacques Cousteau. We don't know where she found the "testicular fortitude" to confront the BJ administration or who at the Sun times actually allowed her to do this. Spielman even quotes this:
The Council has “the fiduciary responsibility to safeguard taxpayer dollars,” Lopez said, but noted that “none of us can say where” the $115.2 million spent between January and late July went or where the $123 million Johnson expects to spend through Dec. 31 will go.
“You can wrap it in bacon. But if it’s a turd, it’s still gonna taste like ... ” Lopez said without finishing the sentence.
“I can’t keep spending backwards without being told where we’re going forward.”
Lopez is making all of the correct noises, but we're also pretty sure he's not letting this crisis go to waste.

When are these grifting political hacks going to pull their heads out, stand up on their hind legs, and demand F. Joe "Tapioce Brains" Biden close the border and stop the illegal invasion?
When?
The Marines are no longer at the Foster Avenue location ???

This new mayor is an infant.
Pissing on the thoroughly brought to heel communities of usual suspects is how any hispanc that can get the various latino factions united enough to vote for him/her will be as Trump was to hilary.
And all the communities of usual suspects won't be able to fake enough ballots to prevent this.
Because the very first chance that a strong hispanic candidate shows will null out any and all other shill candidates, regardless of skin color, and any shills of the usual suspects' communities will merely ensure an hispanic victory.
Do these idiots really believe that the hispanics are stupid?
And that after these idiot moves pissing in the faces of the usual suspects' communities, the skins of another color voters won't jump at the chance to eject the infant mayor and the rest of these idiots?
Dear Governor Abbot,

"The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
Margaret Thatcher. February 5, 1976
NEW YORK -- Major cuts could be coming to agencies across the city that New Yorkers rely on. Mayor Eric Adams says it's to help pay for the asylum seeker crisis. "Everything is on the table now," Adams said.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/mayor-eric-adams-says-requested-budget-cuts-for-city-agencies-could-be-avoided-with-state-federal-aid-for-asylum-seeker-crisis/ar-AA1gwm1j
“The Council has “the fiduciary responsibility to safeguard taxpayer dollars,” Lopez said, but noted that “none of us can say where” the $115.2 million spent between January and late July went or where the $123 million Johnson expects to spend through Dec. 31 will go.Worst-case scenario: Chicago budget gap could reach $1.9 billion by 2026”
So none of them can say where $115.2 million was spent or where the mayor is going to spend 123 million by years end.
Time to call all Departments in forthwith, Mayors Office, City Council, Finance, Law, Inspector General. Don’t let them leave until someone squeals! How cannot they not know where the money went. In another article by Spielman she said if the economy takes a nosedive the gap is $1.9 billion if not it will be $789 million. All of these people need a serious talking to, capish?

hahahaha. Did Black Lives Matter money circulate and remain in the black community or was the money used to buy lush mansions for a few race hustlers?
the headline reads
DOLLAR STORES CONTRIBUTE TO DECADES OF ECONOMIC DISTRESS FOR CHICAGO HOODS
They rob and loot local store owners into bankruptcy then complain about living in a food desert then complain when a dollar store opens up in the hood because the money spent will leave the community; Guess who's to blame
Taxpayer Subsidised Migration Tax Dollars Leaving The Country - YOU Voted for it!
Money leaving the community you ain't seen nothing yet chain migration is here. Migrant working under the table wage jobs bypassing the tax system money sent back to migrants home towns to bring up extended family members all the while getting govt handouts. How bout that.
anyways,,,this bullshit from the racists race baiters/victims hood. It takes a village idiot or communist CPS day care center to raise your child
Chicago’s South and West side neighborhoods have a number of Dollar Tree and Dollar General stores that serve as a valued resource for residents. However, they’re also hurting the financial health of those communities.
Crain’s Chicago Business reports that while such stores may be convenient, they are not Black-owned, meaning the money spent by the neighborhood’s Black residents doesn’t remain in their community.
“[Those stores] take resources out of the community and don’t give us an opportunity to circulate the dollar within the community,” Tonya Trice, the executive director of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce, told Crain’s Chicago Business. “That money leaves our community as soon as it is spent.
https://www.blackenterprise.com/dollar-stores-chicago-economic-distress/
Perfect, now the Brandon voters of the neighborhood can wait for service at Swedish Covenant.
I spent 35 years in the business world and knew where every penny from my multimillion dollar budget was spent. I find it appalling that government bureaucrats can spend tens of millions in the blink of an eye and not only not know where the money went, but are never held to account for it. Don’t the City of Chicago and Cook County have accountants and auditors who keep track of this stuff?
This crisis is not going away for years. These people did not come here to work they came here to be taken care of. Tax's/fees have to be raised.
We can spend millions on these fucking illegals and blood suckers but yet we cant fund our pension?
My guess is NO raise for the next CTU contract? City is in a shortfall, migrants bleeding our system. We will see if camel teeth expects to give them a raise? Esp after covering up the sox park teacher shooting? The huge PPE covid scam?
Hopefully they move the 2/24 Marines Memorial to another spot. The last thing any of us want is to see that memorial vandalized.
I guarantee you that nurse didn't take home $195.00 an hour, you have to have room to grease the wheels that signed that contract.
NYC claims the illegals cost the tax payer 20 million a day. What will 34.5 mil do????
O.T. Col. Douglas Macgregor has started an organization -Our Country Our Choice.com - and is looking for sign ups. 2 very short videos already up. Worth a look. We'll see where this goes.
That's our pension money.

And funded by you the taxpayer!!!!!
Are they going to have to paint it a different color than the Marine Pink?
Money isn’t even real it’s man made so they can spend all they want the US government just asks the FED to print more so the notion if it costing too is not an issue. It will be paid down the road in inflation to our kids kids and eventually the entire thing collapses and we start over. Same game different players been like this since creation of man.

And now the taxpayers will be in the grocery business as the same people that forced the closing of numerous stores costing retailers billions in total losses now the taxpayers will be able to suffer. Also, how much more stupid can this guy be? Instead of Petes Market it will be Brandon’s thievery market. Take what you want. Taxpayers will pay.

Wake Up. It’s the Communist deliberate destroying of America, one step at a time.

Winter is coming. It won't be pleasant. The illegals will do anything to stay warm.

You want your money to "stay in the community"? Fine. Open your own damn store. Stock it. Staff it. Do everything a regular business does. See if you can make a buck, or if the local urban urchins will steal you blind...
Until then, Fuck off with your "Dollar Tree" is stealing from the community horseshit.
Cut the fat out of the budget...the fat being aldermen!!!
In New York, only 800 out of about 40,000 migrants have applies for work visas despite being there for months and months.

“Chicago’s migrant crisis” indeed.
This is a crisis of their own making. These bastards need to own it, and be punished accordingly.
Chicago is stuck with Johnson, but surely to God people have to wake up and start launching aldermen for letting this happen. If nothing else, start burning up their phone lines, email & social media.
Or I suppose you can just let this go on. Stockholm Syndrome is a real thing.

Cut aldermen in half...or at least show them to the guillotine.
They left two important words out:
Major cuts could be coming to agencies across the city that New Yorkers rely on. Mayor Eric Adams says it's to help pay for the (DEMOCRAT-CREATED) asylum seeker crisis. "Everything is on the table now," Adams said.

Man the next few years are gonna be a shit show again.,God Save The Republic!
Just spitballing the numbers, thats 652,541.79 a DAY. All for the refusal to close the effin borders. Not counting the theft, medical bills, or any other costs. And mayor BJ wonders why Nashville is now almost a suburb of Chicago, as everyone flees.

It makes sense but Never happen in corrupt, Chicago. To start with they don't need 50. They could easily cut that number in half or even less. NYC has 51 council members. LA has 15, Houston and Phily, 17 and Phoenix has 9. No way Chicago needs 50 but that money pit will never change.
I sure hope the clothing and blankets for these illegals are being purchased at good will or salvation army. Give them the days old bread and no named canned food. Then ship them all back to the other side of the border.
As another post said, they were told by their handlers that everything is free in America. They are not her to work for the dream.

Sure, so then the mayor and it's minions can dictate even more completely.
Not that our traditional crop of aldertwats does much of anything to impede said mayor's crap, but, the city council is the legislative branch of our city government and could do much to cockblock the twats.
And, yes, this would mean that they would have to first cockblock themselves and each other......
Clusterfucked barely begins to adequately define our city, and county, governments.
Double to triple ditto for our state.
Then ship them all back to the other side of the border.
9/16/2023 02:52:00 AM
And, if they cannot return these m'fers to outside our border, bus them all to Delaware and let Brandon the Idiot house and feed them. That c'skr should go to jail for ignoring and not enforcing our laws.
Walked past 019 yesterday and saw a migrant with an ankle monitor. Lord, help us.
