While the Democrat bench is deep, Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot might be the worst mayor in America; particularly since former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio left office. So how bad is Lightfoot? Even Democrat lawmakers are calling out Lightfoot as Chicago’s murder rate continues to skyrocket.
But here’s the clincher that puts Lightfoot in a league of her own:
As the violent streets of Chicago’s Southside continue to run red with blood, the embattled mayor has proposed a city ordinance to give herself a hefty raise. No, really. Did I mention that Lightfoot’s current annual salary is $216,210?
As reported by Chicago’s NBC News affiliate, Fox News, the catch-all “management ordinance” introduced at Wednesday’s City Council meeting and tied to Lightfoot’s $16.4 billion budget proposes tying the mayor’s future salary to the rate of inflation or five percent, whichever is less. A five percent pay hike would raise the mayor’s salary by $10,810, to $227,020.

Makes sense - every dead Chicagoan means one more replacement illegal alien is added to the Chicago economy. Lori Lightfoot’s just asking for her cut.
Groot!
I think they should offer her $300K with the stipulation that $1000 of that money will go to the victim’s family for each murder committed in Chicago.
This would give her an incentive to do something more than pay minimal lip service to the problems in her city.
She would certainly agree to such a proposal, after all, she is the best mayor in the country (/s)...
Inflation
Ram a stick of TNT up Groots ass and she’ll get the kind of raise she deserves
She is not clueless. She just think those murders are not big deal in their realm
of civilization
Inflation is killing her. She can’t afford her private security.
She needs & deserves 3 trillion dollars from the Chicago tax payers!
Inflation only affects Democrats in high office.
The peons get to eat off brand bran flakes.
At 700 plus murders each year she can’t afford it.
Even in death they still vote democrat. They don’t care.
No, she just has complete contempt for everybody else around her, and is waving it in their face.
No politician should be able to give themselves a raise. Only the taxpayers should be able to do that.
Cultural Grift
Yeah, that’s why I said $300K; let her come up with the rest, or do her job and work to reduce the murder rate.
