We do not need this type of depressing news from south of the border when we have more than enough sick and criminal things going on right here, daily.
The news should be all about the failing part time childish, clueless mayor, the failing city and it’s incapable management, squandering tens of millions on all of the wrong priorities, (the long dead downtown) while the roads and infrastructure crumble and turn to dust.
Talk about incompetence at it’s highest level as the city goes further down the crapper with every additional bad decision.
