  • Hey, they aren’t perfect, but putting even a single politician on trial for crimes and convicting them makes them better than 99% of the United States.

    A lady around my area stole almost 200k from youth soccer over 4 years. She got time served and 100 hours community service, which she was allowed to complete at her husband’s business.

    Another politician stole thousands from the city, claiming it was for “previously unpaid bonuses”. He didn’t even get charged or step down. He’s still in office to this day (not my district, can’t really do much cause it’s all super rich mother fuckers who love him)









  • It’s 31% of my city’s entire budget. Our parks service gets over 5 times less and we have a crazy number of parks here.

    But hey, the police needed a new station! The old one was all of 7 years old! And it only had a regular 50 inch TV, not a 4k one!

    Meanwhile the best playground in the city has had all it’s mulch piled to the side for months, with nobody, including several city and county officials I’ve spoken to, knowing why.

    Fun thing: that police budget is actually down percentage wise. Money wise it’s up by a million, but our wonderful mayor decided it would be brilliant to not renew our garbage pickup without another option on the table. Now we have trash pickup that’s twice as expensive and won’t pick up trash in the back yard for the elderly without them paying almost $150 a month for the service.

    I hate this town
