They’re fed up with how the Metropolis and Johnson have dealt with staggering crime, price range cuts, a failing college system, and the funneling of funds away from residents to benefit illegals.
They issued a stark warning to the Democrat party final yr, and in October, resident Jessica Jackson blasted Democrats at a Metropolis Council assembly in a blistering takedown of their decades-long failures within the metropolis.
On Friday, Johnson canceled town’s already delayed vote on its 2025 price range after which ran from the room as residents shouted their disgust along with his management.
As he ran away, a annoyed resident yelled after him, “You’re disgusting!”
One other shouted, “Is nobody paying consideration? Is nobody paying consideration?”
