Louisville Mayor wants federal bailout, if not, taxes will be raised.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer is calling on the federal government to provide relief as he announced a predicted revenue shortfall for the city totaling $115 million from now until the end of the next fiscal year.
Fischer on Thursday described the budget as a “continuation budget” due to a lack of clarity on what kind of federal assistance might be made available to cities. He called the lack of clarity the “No. 1 issue” in planning the budget.
“How much money will be coming from the federal government, and do we have the flexibility to use it for how we need it?” Fischer asked.

Fischer did not rule out the possibility of future tax increases without federal funding.

Nothing but crickets from the Trumptard Repubs. Moscow Mitch called COVID-19 aid "blue-state" bailouts and suggesting that he'd like for them to go the bankruptcy route.
He was immediately GRILLED by even his own political party members, not only because the state of Kentucky - McConnell's state - is the 50th of 50 states that took MORE federal money than they contributed last year, but that also the vast majority of southern states - mostly ALL deep RED states - are among the worst states of all 50 in terms of taking federal assistance, as opposed to contributing to the federal pot.
It's the new generation's Republic party: reliance on federal tax dollars, big government, big spending, and huge national debt.
But for this, we get crickets.....

And why do you think that is genius? Why does Connecticut have a better education system than Mississippi you think?

Voters can be the ones to decide.

And why do YOU think this is, "genius"?? Southern states can educate their people just as well as northern states can. The difference is the concerted and premeditated effort to do so.
It was a South Carolina Congressman during the slavery era that referred to the common farming, low-class WHITE citizen as a "mudsill" - he in essence coined the thought process of a class system of citizenship that included a low-income farming and manual labor class of free white citizens along with the typical black slave of the era, where it was an important foundation of the southern economy to have a poor class of manual labor to support the higher classes of educated elite. He proposed that efforts to reduce this class/racial inequality was to attack the foundations of civilization itself.
This theory and working thought process kept a large % of southern low-class white citizens uneducated for generations if not centuries, and it's echoes have continued into more modern times.
The rationale and reason for slavery, the rationale for big business trusts, the rationale for political partisanship of today, was the same reason and rationale as this theory: to build but most importantly, to KEEP power. Power to make money, which funded more power. Power to hold control of the legislation and enforcement of laws in this country, which was power. To keep that power in the hands of the few, and out of the hands of the many, to ensure that the power is never diluted.
The southern states have been among the poorest educated states in this nation for generations, if not centuries. Why is that? Are there laws prohibiting those states from improving their educations? Are the citizens of those states mutated with mass mental retardation?
The answer is the people in power in those states NEED those southern citizens to remain stupid, and uneducated - like the slave masters needed them to be - in order to ensure that power stays where it always has been: in THEIR hands. In order to manipulate and control the states citizens.
You can read on this forum for about 5-10 minutes, and get a strong answer to that question yourself. Unless you're just too stupid.....

Louisville past 5th Street has always been a war zone and the city administrators have never given a shite
So this mayor is threatening to force folks to move out into the boonies 20-30 miles away?
Good!

That's a lazy cop-out, and you know it. People don't want to be educated, like people don't want more money, more stability in their lives, don't want more opportunities to raise healthy secure families, to provide for their children with everything they want to provide.
Yeah, people don't want any of that. They WANT to be sheep, herded from one station in life to another. They WANT to be mudsills. You are nothing more than a sad, pathetic product of an old, old southern machine.....

I's simple jackass. I live and benefit or suffer from paying Georgia taxes and Columbus Ga, city, Muscogee County taxes . I have no obligation to pay for the lifestyle benefit or burden of a Kentucky or Louisville resident. And that is the bottom line. Should I be held accountable for say, California's wild arse spending habits while I enjoy none of the benefits of said spending. There is a reason one in every three people on some sort of relief or welfare live there. We are already taxed out the rear here in Muscogee County and have the alternative of moving a mile or two to Russell Co. Alabama and enjoy or accept the less services in exchange for the far lower tax burden. Many do that. Or vote the bums out here

How about you call your hero Andy Beshear first? He’s the one who shut you down.
quote:
On Wednesday, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell said he favored cities pursuing bankruptcy over a federal bailout. Fischer said he was surprised by the comment, adding that talks with McConnell’s team were ongoing.
“He’s at the table where these decisions are being made,” Fischer said. “Leader McConnell can make a lot of this happen if it is a priority to him. So as I talk to him I’ll be anxious to see what his perspective on all of this is.”

This is Marxism.

Education
The North East values education because it was colonized by the Puritans. They were largely Middle or Upper Middle class. Education was important to them for religious regions, but it was also important for business purposes.
quote:
stupid, and uneducated
Stupidity is a misfortune of birth.
There is this belief, in this country, that education is the great redeemer. That if you go off to college, for example, you'll return a changed and better person.
I don't think that's true, and I don't think there's any evidence it does.
I suspect this belief goes back to groups like the Puritans, who believed that everyone should be literate, so they could read the Bible. For them, education was a path to salvation.

Taxes in Louisville KY might go up. Reason #328 not to live there.

This depends entirely on what you consider “educated.” Let this economy go to shite and see how many of those quants in New York can grow their own food or how many Palo Alto software developers can fix their own plumbing.
By and large, southerners are just fine with our way of life.
