Denver’s Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston is to make severe cuts to policing and other essential public services
Why? To pay for this blue city’s growing illegal immigrant population
Johnston announced a $45 million package for immigrants this year, including $8 million slashed from the police department’s budget.The funds will add to the $44 million already set aside for new arrivals to the Colorado capital, which saw its migrant expenses jump from $2 million in August to $15 million in December.
The Mayor said his own office will endure a 10% cut, but other public services must also tighten their belts. The fire department, for example, is set to lose $2.5 million.
The mayor wants to treat "newcomers" with dignity. Call them what they are--ILLEGALS who now will be treated better than poor American citizens.
Read about the insanity
"Public safety departments in Denver will not be immune to the cuts. The Denver Fire Department will reduce its budget by nearly $2.5 million. That is about 0.8% of its yearly operating budget. About half of those reductions come from not filling vacant positions. The Denver Police Department will cut nearly $8.4 million, or about 1.9% of its budget. About $5.3 million of that money comes from not filling open positions."

.8% and 1.9% of their fire and police budgets, respectively.
Cut to support illegals.
ReplyDeleteYup. I know it's hard for bigots, racists and xenophobes to get their heads around but there's a lot of people in America who honestly don't mind helping out migrants and newcomers.
ReplyDelete@10:08...that's fine if they enter our country LEGALLY.
ReplyDeleteThis has nothing to do with racism and all the other isms you like to call people who actually love our country and want to protect it from those crossing our borders to live off the system or to do us harm.
Democrats are great at name calling...they do it better than anyone.
Enter the country the RIGHT way, no problem.
Not into open borders and globalism.
