I know she is a politician and thus the thread police will be out in this one but this is a real douchebag move imo. https://news.wttw.com/2022/12/14/city-c ... erty-taxes Quote: City Council Votes to Fuel Far South Side CTA Red Line Extension with Downtown Property Taxes
Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd Ward) cast the lone vote against the proposal. Dowell said Monday it was unfair to the residents of her ward, which includes Bronzeville, to take their property tax revenue and “ship it miles away.” |

We need to bring more black teens from the southside downtown because there isnt enough crime downtown already . |

Is Bronzeville considered downtown now? Speaking of Bronzeville, Ebony Lucas is going to win the 4th. |

Perhaps the fact that you used race as the sole arbiter of what is and is not criminal. Or the fact that you implied that crime rates will go up solely because "black teens from the Southside" will have greater access to the downtown area. But hey what is more likely to happen around here. A. Seacrest and the other apologists will call out someone for making an obvious racist statement? Or B. Seacrest and the other apologists will condemn the person that called the guy out for making an obvious racist statement and bemoan the fact that the person was called out in the first place? Just Asking Questions |

Black males commit far and away the vast majority of crime in this city which includes downtown. So yes, giving more black teens from the southside access to downtown will increase the crime rate. This isnt hard. |

And therein lies the rationale that all racists use to justify never allowing black people "access" to anything. Homes, Jobs, Education, you name it. There it is in a nutshell. And you are correct. It wasn't "hard" to actually establish the racism in that statement. |

More rail lines would curb the need for the balcks to steal cars in order to terrorize the downtown whites. |

They have tiktok videos to teach a kid in the 4th grade how to steal Asian cars. Considering TikTok comes from CHINA and the automakers come from Asia, I think it's safe to say Asia wants to see auto thefts and insurance claims to go up in America. |

This all most likely has to do with construction contracts and who bought property years ago in the planned rights of way. Which wards does it go through? Maybe the 6th?? If it was about race, they'd be focusing on improving Metra service instead. |

Why do this given the impending financial cliff public transportation, including Metra and RTA, is going to go over once the fed covid funds run out? |

She must either be ignorant of her own Ward's history or just simply has a really short memory. |

Nothing jogs an alderman's memory more than one of their friends getting a hefty consulting or construction contract. |
