During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston responded to a question on Denver residents who are frustrated that the city is cutting services due to budget shortfalls caused by the influx of migrants in the city by stating that “The dilemma is when you have values on both sides and you have to manage those values. We have a value of being a welcoming, compassionate city.” And there are some cuts to migrant services.
Johnston said, “We’ve asked every agency in the city to take a look at what they could do to make what is about a 15% cut to their budget across the city. And those agencies are all presenting options to us this week. We started the first set of actions this week, which includes reducing the hours in our rec centers, closing rec centers for some days, and will involve closing some of our DMV sites on certain days and weeks. And so, we are having to make some of these hard decisions, and we’ll also have to reduce some of the level and length of services we can provide to migrants. We’ve had more than 40,000 migrants arrive in our city over the last year, more than any other city in America per capita, and we have very successfully integrated them. To do that well just requires resources, and it will be impossible for us to do that at this scale going forward without any federal help.”

I was wondering how they defined that phrase. Of course, your wait to see a doctor is going to be twice as long, and taxes, do I need to say it?
‘Value of Being’
.
What does That even Mean?
.
Denver is on Dope.
Sorry, I only have the photo that someone posted here.
“Were there 40,000 job that needed to be filled and now are?”
Yeah, one easy, short day of work required. Fill out and cast a ballot as instructed.
Exactly.
We’d all better repent and turn to Jesus Christ in that case.
They’ve been high on dope smoke for the past twelve years.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
“The customer is always right” means in politics “You people under my rule should embrace your sacrifices to the migrants”
but the people realize who stupid they were to vote for Dems who brought that upon them so some-——some-——will not vote Dem next time.
Lyndon B. Johnson angrily pointed his finger to the camera and said on TV “You never had it so good.” The voters disagreed and he decided not to run for re-election.
...then Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston can certainly increase his “value” by having illegal alien invaders live in his home, eat his food, and wear his clothes.
The governor’s house should be able to take in a couple dozen illegals.
Eat your peas Denver.
Lettuce picking!
Or would you rather pay $2.00 for a head of lettuce?

Well, seeing that it is $2.50 at the store ($3 for “organic”), (or $19.99 at Amazon!!!)....
The architecture of this political posturing -- "caring" -- was the same underlying game of the Covid con costing trillions and deep in corruption, the climate change con also costing trillions and rife with scandal, the Ukraine-Russia war game, now running into the billions with clear kickbacks and corruption.
The structure to all these revolves around prying loose MONEY from the public purse.
Time to stop it. The government is functionally bankrupt.
Debt Clock
Emotive dweeb hellbent on destroying.
I wonder if any of these city departments even considered slashing city employee wages to make up for the shortfall. In the spirit of the mayor’s words about sharing the cost, a 15% wage cut should be on the table.

So, what's the problem? They've been there for a while. If you can't pay the debt back, anyway, and you're not actually spending real money, just print some more and keep going. /sarcasm
I'm sure there are some TX and AZ cities that will take you to task about this claim!
