    I saw this story about a month ago and thought I posted it, but I can't find the thread.

    Dolton, IL is a suburb of Chicago - far south side.

    It elected an....interesting mayor.

            Loudoun County Board of Supervisors

            Can they afford her?

            Do they have a police force which will dance with her?

            including hiring a DJ to punctuate her points during government meetings, and co-opting cops to dance in her music videos

              She wants an ice rink. The trustees say no. She gives a deposit to a company to start construction, Trustees find out and block payment, so she sneaks to another company and pays them to do it.

              How the hell does that even happen? Does the mayor have total fiscal control for the town? Beyond that, any type of civic expenditure like that requires bids and such. You can’t just cut a check…

                See the unemployment video I posted today. If we actually have 25% unemployment, we must fund the bread and circuses to make sure the dependent masses vote the "right" way.

                  Her personal restitution fund. You see that a lot in black run cities. I’m sure it happens in other cities as well but it seldom seems as blatant.

                          In the 2020 census[16] there were 21,426 people, 7,985 households, and 5,361 families in the village. The population density was 4,570.39 inhabitants per square mile (1,764.64/km2). There were 8,768 housing units at an average density of 1,870.31 per square mile (722.13/km2).

                          The racial makeup of the village was 90.69% African American, 3.25% White, 0.17% Native American, 0.21% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 2.62% from other races, and 3.04% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.37% of the population.

                          There were 7,985 households. 29.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them. 25.45% were married couples living together. 35.94% had a female householder with no husband present. 32.86% were non-families. 29.42% of all households were made up of individuals. 12.10% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

                                          Rumor is that the Feds are going to pick her up today.
