Shocking, and proof of infuriating, disgraceful political failure.
Down 14.5%, far worse than the American average (itself an unwelcome decline).
Of what use were so many grand, much-touted state and municipal projects? One Next Big Thing after another, and all of them doing nothing to prevent a double-digit decline in common people’s incomes.
Every big-talking bureaucrat and glad-handing swell in the this city and state should quit now, having presided over a decade of decline, poverty, and hardship for others.
What use have boastful declarations, fawning headlines, and projects built from others’ meager wages been?
No use, none at for those who are most in need, not only among the poor, but among ordinary working people, too.
