Cubdriver Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 4 hours ago, Dric902 said: Focusing on the big problems in the city Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is erasing overdue fees for library books and other items to "remove barriers that deter youth and low-income patrons" from reading and other educational activities. Lightfoot announced Monday the Chicago Public Library will be "fine-free" starting Tuesday, making the Windy City the largest city in the nation to do so. "Like too many Chicagoans, I know what it is like to grow up in financially-challenging circumstances and understand what it is like to be just one bill or one mistake away from crushing debt," Lightfoot said in a press release This should end well... How long will it be until Mayor Lightfoot is pleading for money to replace the permanently borrowed books and complaining that the empty library shelves are racist? -Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These controversies are best served serially, so as to lengthen the time and effort to fight them, and provide distraction. -Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't take very long I think. Not sure how many he books he had, but I'm sure at least a couple he didn't get to finish coloring in all the pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story put out with the announcement of Obama's library, was that it would be video only and no text books. This was the legitimate press release. This was a sticking point with me, since the author of that article made the assumption that considering where the Obama Library was propose to be located, the likely hood of the visitors being able to read was quite low. At the same time, the response from the residents at the proposed location was very negative. They believed the property could be used for a better purpose. https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/12/barack-obama-library-plans-anger-chicago-residents/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolescence, the goal of the left. Judging from the performance of the members of their party, and politics in the House, this may be a reality.

We had to tolerate Obama, you owe the country the same consideration. Democrats take heed. the power of passion does not equate to the power of reason. You are stirring a Hornets nest that will come back to bite you HARD. You don't have the reasoning power to think that if you pull this crap, it will come back to haunt you in every way possible. You will create the monster you think you are fighting now. You try to usurp our government, and the Constitution will show us the way to punish. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
