I watched a special, on TV, about these cities going broke.
They keep blaming the city employees' unions, ref the pay/benefits.
This special was spot on on where the blame finger should point.
One CA. city, after they lost a lot of industry jobs, decided to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars to build a huge convention center, minor league baseball park and a yacht marina (the yacht marina cost $30,000 per slip- parking spot for a yacht- to build!!!
A large city in AL. borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars to build a fanciful water treatment plant. (21 elected officials and contractors have been convicted for crimes related to fraud over this project alone!).
NOT ONE TIME, during the special, did they mention the overwhelming costs to cities, counties, states- THE TAX PAYER- related to illegals and the welfare system in general!!
Politicians and the media are so very afraid to breach these two subjects!!
