This is at least the 2nd, maybe 3rd straight mayor of this shit hole that has done stuff like this. Maybe not this outlandish , but par for the course. This should be a part time position considering how small this city is.This is so good and so Chicago

Tiffany Henyard, 40, has been slammed for 'living like a royal' at taxpayer expense by taking a $300,000 salary and racking up huge expenses as leader of Dolton.www.dailymail.co.uk
He should be totally exonerated and given a medal.
Any and all charges should be dismissed.
Sheepdogs.

I find it amusing when the left is pointing fingers and getting frustrated after zealously defending illegal immigration to spite Trump and declaring themselves “Sanctuary Cities”. Reap what you sew.
As for this mess, Johnson is a total buffoon, but he’s more right than wrong in this instance. Prtizker is being a putz and unrealistic.
DNC convention is in Chicago on 8/19. If Greg Abbott is smart he floods the zone with migrants before then. No more to New York or Denver. Every bus to Chicago. Let them see what they have done.Pritzker, Johnson at odds over Chicago’s migrant plan as shelter evictions loom

Who am I kidding, I’m sure we’ll get the San Francisco/ Xi treatment. Get them off the street for a few days and then release them back where I can step over them on my way into Walgreens.

Do not put public educators in positions of real power. The classroom is already bad enough. These are astoundingly mediocre people.

I think these schools are probably dealing with 100% low income kids with awful home lives, but these figures show that just spending more money is not the solution:

Education fail: Not a single child tested proficient in math in 67 Illinois schools. For reading, it’s 32 schools. – Wirepoints Special Report | Wirepoints
In 2023, there were 67 Illinois schools where not a single student tested proficient in math and 32 where no student tested proficient in reading. In a sane world, schools that don’t and can’t teach a single student the most basic of skills would be shut down. Instead, such schools carry on and...

This guy is a really special kind of stupid.
Chicago: Mayor Brandon Johnson ends the use of ShotSpotter because it "disproportionately targets minorities."
Hysterical. The guy can't do anything right.
Curious as to whether there have been qualified candidates that were defeated due to identity politics in the cases of Lightfoot & Johnson or just all shit candidates?
Johnson actually got elected fairly narrowly. 52-48. The guy he defeated (Vallas) was a lifelong Democrat who had the endorsement of Dick Durbin.
But he was White and he supported charter schools and stronger policing so they painted him as a racist Republican pretty successfully. He probably would've done a decent job.
That is some impressive software, to be able to determine the race of the person firing the shot!
I don't think this is unique to just Chicago.
As older people die off, I think we're going to see more and more stores close because the younger generations would rather shop on their phones then go into an actual store.
This has been going on for a while now and unfortunately, I think it's here to stay.
Perhaps, but how do you allocate cause to that vs all of the vandalism and theft issues that have been going on the past year or two on Michigan and State?
