“She claims all states are having the same issues? South Dakota never shut down, has very low taxes, and actually declined the government’s federal funding for unemployment. That’s how you manage a state. Kristi Noem for president 2024.”
“I was a city employee. Abandoning my home, letting the bank have it, pulling what little I contributed to pension fund back out, fleeing the state back to good old Dixie. The foray into Illinois was a blind labyrinthine passage that I will exit and wash hands of.”
“Think of all the money these Democrat states are paying for injured officers off work. Believe me there probably dropping off the force due to injuries just so they don’t have to deal with all the abuse.”
“What do you expect when you elect Democrats every election. Why stay in Chicago. It is a lost cause. Not worth defending. High crime, high taxes , horrible schools for what? Glad I escaped. Indiana calling!”
“If you want to have peace and order we need to have pro police and order leaders. Lori you (sic) none of that and you only make it worse, you failed all law abiding citizens of Chicago and that will be not forgotten.”
“As a resident of Chicago. WE DO NOT DESERVE FEDERAL HELP. We reap what we sow. It’s time for change in Chicago. It’s time to turn this city into a Republican stronghold”
“Hell will freeze over before Chicago votes Republican, but if the suburbs flip, maybe Illinois can work back to having hints of purple. A somewhat realistic goal is to get the graduated tax proposal voted down.”
“I’m sure ALL these Sanctuary cities will have the same message real soon.”
“She [Lightfoot] was not elected because of her ability. Black, female, and gay, the liberal trifecta for a Democrat”
