@JonHansenTalks @jewelosco yep, the desktop version of their site doesn't work either

@Raphousetvuncut lol, his girl in the "Jesus" sweatshirt

@AJManaseer sure AJ, don't pay attention to the rich and powerful, they don't hold any sway over your life

@Eric_Erins this is what the development across from the Moody church should look like

@chicagobars he almost doubled my property taxes...now I pay hundreds more in taxes each month than I do principal or interest. I'm voting anyone not Kaegi.

@PastorTrey05 we get hot...sometimes even when its cold

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@CTULocal1 who's "rich"? I live in a rich neighborhood, but am not rich, and @fritz4assessor just doubled my property taxes and added $500 to my monthly mortgage bill. Are we trying to clear the middle class out of nice neighborhoods and make them playgrounds for millionaires?

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@cornoisseur Kaegi just double my property taxes, now I'll pay hundreds of dollars more in escrow every month than I do in principal or interest. I'm not a millionaire, & I can't afford the city jumping up my mortgage like this, nor can my apartment possibly be worth what they've assessed

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@FrankCalabrese Kaegi wildly inflated the value of my property and almost doubled my property taxes in one year. Now I pay more in escrow than I do in principal or interest. I'll be voting for anyone who's not Kaegi.

@KazooFunky @bibliographing @hkappklote I hear ya but Johnson campaigned on keeping them open and more Chicagoans voted for him than Vallas 🤷‍♂️

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@KazooFunky @bibliographing @hkappklote agree with this 100%!!

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@KazooFunky @hkappklote yep, our homicide rate is below the national avg and our clearance rate for everything else is way below. CPD has made it so if you bet on committing a crime in Chicago, odds are well in your favor that you'll get away with it.

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@bibliographing @KazooFunky @hkappklote lol, how does a completely useless police department that can't deter or solve crimes benefit more people? CPS does cost more but I *like* spending more on kids than cops.

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@rhodeislandmike @HeatherCherone lol, must be hard to see our trash bills from Rhode Island

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@KazooFunky @hkappklote CPD is over 2 billion dollars and for that we get considerably less than a 50% clearance rate on almost all crimes. Is it less than CPS's budget? Yes. But still an awful, indefensible ROI.

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@KazooFunky @hkappklote you know what gripes me about this...CPD also spends way too much money for unacceptable results and zero accountability...but no one's out there talking about how irresponsible just shoveling more money at them is.

@w_h_thompson real Americans cherish the freedom to hop on and off the train when they choose, not some fascist conductor.

@hulu_support what happened to “recordings” under “my stuff” in the fire stick app? I loved that! I used it every day!

@mikegiannulis @xwanyex "love it patient, love is kind, love is an algorithmically determined prison sentence"

[Matty Barbs @barbermg]

@mikegiannulis @xwanyex I'm hoping you know, since "Christian" is the first word in your bio, that you have to love everyone who is not innocent too.
