Honestly this is main reason for this mess. The pensions of former city employees and all the overtime worked by NOPD and the Sheriff’s office


I say this all the time. Govt employees make bank with salary, OT, and lavish pensions. Time for all of that to stop.

Ignorance, incompetence, and corruption. Three major tenets of Democrat leadership, the people in charge and the people under them are pretty much retarded. They lie to their bosses at each level, budgets are never scrutinized, no audits, no accountability.

If your life choice is to live in that shithole, you deserve everything you get.

They need to fence it off and let the natives fight to the death

How were they to know that federal funds were not unlimited

Latoya was a Big Russell Wilson fan if you recall. Unlimited.
