"When I look at our homeless strategy, our transportation strategy, hell even just our public school spending - it really does feel like there’s a tiny cabal of corrupt interests still running the City, County, and State. Saying whatever is necessary to enrich themselves. "

Please name the members of the cabal of corrupt interests who are, in your opinion, running city, county and state to enrich themselves. They benefit from their anonymity. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to name the cabal of corrupt and/or progressive interests who are running things for reasons other than personal gain such as ideological conviction or the pursuit of personal political power. Mike "Vassar Boy" Schmidt would fall into this category, I assume.

Changing topics, if and when local media write about homeless deaths in 2023, I hope they have the integrity to place the blame where it belongs, including the organizations and individuals who work tirelessly to block and discredit just about every initiative by government and private interests to get homeless people off the street and into shelters and to get addicts into detox, rehab and recovery.

While they're at it, news outlets could point out the cruelty of the progressive belief system that justifies a hands-off approach to homelessness and addiction out of respect for the alleged "autonomy" of homeless people and addicts. This is a colossal fib for obvious reasons. It is also so homicidally negligent that it's enough to make an observer conclude that activists and advocates want to create chaos to get back at society for some perceived wrong. You don't need to be an experienced oracle reader to know that most of those activists and their allies in the media have it in for business in general and particularly the businesses who have the gall to ask government to fix the crises of homelessness, addiction, madmen running loose in the streets and crime.
