Yes, it's absolutely evident that the lead photo of Ms. Ratajkowski is "Feminist" as hell!
ReplyDeleteAny objectification made is strictly in your own filthy sexist mind, you Dog!
The idea that the gang at the Star don't know how and where tax money is spent on the east side is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteThey have to be willing to engage in conscious ignorance for decades.
Do they actually see the results of over $100 milliion at 18th and Vine?
How about the huge weed patch where Citadel Plaza was supposed to be? $25 million into thin air.
Green Impact Zone?
East Patrol project?
Renovated houses on Tracy Avenue? One million dollars. For TWO houses. That were then appraised at $60K each.
The list is endless.
It never changes.
Took the city over a year before deciding to consider the use of the East Side tax. Now that is progress. If the proposals for the East Side improvement are not Slies they will not be considered. Money already collected is probably already spent I mean funneled to developers.
ReplyDeleteThe citizens thought this would be handled through a transparent process and the city does not know what transparent means. The city is probably hiding who they pay off first.
Have to agree with @5:35 - shame there's too many bubbles getting in the way of this display of Feminism.
ReplyDelete5:35 and 8:48 My apologies- I thought the photo in question was the "doorbell camera" shot. Did not see the mustache at first, although that's not a true indicator of male or female, or any of the other 27 genders.
ReplyDelete70k went to Cheepto's pay off for ruining the Jazz Museum. What a scam.

Emily Ratajkowski looks like a skinny 12-year old boy with big fake titays. She needs to gain about 50 pounds and turn down the pout a bit.
ReplyDeletere the East Side sales tax, it has not yet been allocated. The STAR editorial board calls for transparency. Well, duh--why not publish the names and phone numbers and email addresses of the five citizens who are now meeting in secret, on the proposed spending plan??? Sloppy work by the STAR.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to solve a problem, go directly to someone who can make a difference. In this case, name the East Side Five! And make it easy to contact them. Put pressure on them, and they will fold. These are not independently wealthy people. Their bosses and colleagues and families do not want publicity.
The East Side Five are not Mafioso. So don't let them hide. Expose them. Tony--you can do this, as well.
@11:10am
ReplyDeleteThe "East Side Five" may not be wealthy people when they got involved in this, but with $4.5 million sloshing into the coffers from this city-wide tax each and every year, opportunities abound!
Where does the line begin?
