Was it racist of me to laugh?

Wayne County electing BiXiden is reparations enough for a lifetime.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Reparations” for what?

Skin color?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson laid out the "strategic vision," with admirable brevity: First, get the money.

"we didn't get to a place where we had a broad strategic vision"

My understanding of the plan was that the citizens of Detroit were going to tax themselves in order to pay themselves, while government bureaucrats get a 20% cut.

“due to the group ‘lacking a broad strategic vision”.
Yea. The folks in Detroit are moving forward with there own Vision. Away from the Past, and not the promise of the future with Racist division. Time to move on, and that's what people of all stripes are, and have been doing in Detroit. Quite a Renaissance going on Downtown, and the neighborhoods. Props to Mayor Duggan,Police Chief & City Counsel.

“Gimme” is neither a detailed, sensible and workable policy, nor particularly wise, and certainly nor economically feasible.

Co-leader Lauren Hood said that along with southwest city representative Maurice Weeks, she had been considering leaving for months due to the group ‘lacking a broad strategic vision’.

You mean “Gimme dat” isn’t a broad strategic vision? Who knew?

Or maybe they are frustrated that there isn’t anything of value left in Detroit to confiscate?

[Dave911]

What a stunner....not.

[Organic Panic]

Detroit.... 80% black.

Who is paying the reparations?

[equaviator]

"task force"

Detroit is not without its racist black militant, racist black Muslim extremists, murderous gangs and the mentally ill. Don't let the smooth taste fool you. Local news channels still love to talk about the big comeback but at the same time there are always these pleas for "giving back to the community", and you may never really know where your suburban generosity will end up. Downtown gets most of the attention and it's designed to give the appearance of major successes coming home to roost, when in typical residential areas there is nothing for them to be so proud of. Detroit appears to be a city on the move but it never seems to move beyond perpetual comeback mode, and so it raises the question, "Why is that?".

to develop recommendations for housing and economic programs

We already have those, costing us billions every year.

Its never enough, tho, for the gibsmedats.

[SMARTY]

Well... ‘Gimme money” isn’t exactly a ‘broad strategic vision’

[JimRed]

Gutted the task force treasury, then departed. Hands up if you expected anything different.
