Cities / America's middle class is disappearing from cities
« Last post by finehoe on May 13, 2016, 12:15:12 PM »The American middle class is losing ground in metropolitan areas across the country, affecting communities from Boston to Seattle and from Dallas to Milwaukee. From 2000 to 2014 the share of adults living in middle-income households fell in 203 of the 229 U.S. metropolitan areas examined in a new Pew Research Center analysis of government data. The decrease in the middle-class share was often substantial, measuring 6 percentage points or more in 53 metropolitan areas, compared with a 4-point drop nationally.

That isn't practical at all! Change your party to fit the rules this year, change it back in 2 years for the primary you want to vote in, then change it again for the local election.
This is absolute madness. One of the most important positions in our city, and its rigged. Right in front of us, and Littlepage's response is to game the system in a manner which is not convenient at all? The Public Defender is rigged too. The coziness of teh PD and the SA is already very unethical.
We already have low voter turnout, now put the election on a random day in August, remove over half of the voting populace, and you have a State Attorney elected by less than 10% of the population she will represent.

Of course, the state GOP will spin it as people seeing the light, and coming over to the right side.

That's the sort of thing insider's are alleging takes place... which is what started this whole thread. And a congressional investigation.
