Towns borrow, you pay

Towns borrow, you pay


"Home Rule." Sounds like a scam just saying it. I'm reading, and re-reading this article, and it is just stunning how they basically lied to voters, just to get this powder keg enacted. When they used the tried and true the gangs are coming, the gangs are coming battle cry, White voters got duped. Those that didn't fall for the bull, held their politicians accountable by placing it on ballots, as it should have always been.

You have to give it up for old Daley Sr., that guy knew how to hold onto power. Can you just imagine what he told those suburban elected officials, on how to really fatten their own, friends, and families pockets, at the expense of taxpayers? And yet here we are, mad as hell at the Federal government, which by the way, gives money too the States when they fuck up. Think about that for a moment.

When you hear douche-bag politicians yelling States Rights! That only means state residents are about to get bent-over for a good screw job. Odd isn't it? The only counties, and suburbs surviving such debacles like this, are the ones that use basic math skills. Those voters did their part and made sure when scams like these are launched, it's on the ballot, and not in the hands of one, or a few.
