Their pay is $122,304 annually PLUS $122,000/YR. each in expenses. Total $240,000 a year. NOT BAD for a racist country!
Pension for life is 80% of highest pay attained during tenure or at least $100,000 a year minimum … for life. PLUS income from any and all consulting positions awarded after retirement.
Republican head count in the City Council is zero. That’s ZERO!
William Hale Thompson was the last Republican Mayor of Chicago in 1931.
For 89 years the Democrats have been in control of Chicago. At the end of fiscal 2019 the Chicago deficit was $838,200,000 ++! Looks like now it is close to billion! And that is only the amount shown ON the books. It does NOT include off the books spending, called “off budget” spending.
Maybe I don’t understand Systemic racism and how Trump and the Republican Party is to blame for Chicago’s problems. Of course, everything is Trump’s fault, and all republicans are guilty of everything, (but … clearly not in Chicago).
From January thru July 2020 (about half a year) in Chicago were 2,240 Shootings, 440 Homicides. Almost every shooter was BLACK. 33% of the population gave Chicago 97.7% shootings and murders.
While 67% of the population (Whites, Latino, Asians, Indigenous Native Americans, Jews, Hispanics) gave Chicago 2.3% of shootings and murders. You have a 100 times higher chance to be shot on the streets of Chicago by black then by any other race or demographic group.
However BLM, Kamala Harris, Mayor of Chicago, and Chicago‘s Democratic Politicians blame “police brutality and systemic racism” for the predicament that THEY brought to the city.
As a bonus, guns of all kinds are banned and impossible to legally own in the city. Strict laws against guns have prevented honest citizens from defending themselves. The Constitution is VOID in Chicago so there is NO right to bear arms, and no Second Amendment.
