I was gonna say, if there were white people left the city might have some kind of tax base to deal with the problem.

It’s Illinois, once the votes are cast, the Democrats who run the state stop giving a c—p about black residents. So there is probably some element of truth to the headline.
The Dems talk constantly about injustice and discrimination. But they cant be bothered to actually solve real problems affecting real live black people.

No lie detected.
If white people still ran Flint, MI you’d be able to drink the water there.

My take is Uncle Sugar would be throwing more money at the problem if Whitey lived there.//

Sounds like a sequel to Empire of Dust could be made in Centreville.
It’s all so tiresome.

How many of the city council, mayor, and city administrators are Demonicrat?
To: dynachrome
Regardless of race, some incompetent bureaucrats are drawing salaries and kissing some politician’s rear to keep the plush job. Race makes no difference, just entrenched bureaucratic and political scum .... and probably all related.
