Boring on Issue 17
He breaks down the numbers:- So, out of the $18 million coming out of your pocket, 2.5 is spend on new police. That’s less than 14%. $9 million – that’s half of the planned take from your wallet – is for “job creation and retention”.
For the uninitiated, I’ll translate. “Job creation and retention” = “Mayor’s slush fund for corporate welfare”. Alternately, “Cash for politically connected businesses”. A more literal translation from the ancient tongue would be “a tax on stupid people and those who can’t vote against me”.
