And all run by Democrats.

Can't speak about other cities, but I know Milwaukee. The Republican run legislature hates that city. Does everything they can to undermine it. That being the case, why should Milwaukee voters elect a mayor from the party that wants to run against the city as some kind of failure?

Legit question if anyone wants to have a go at it.

All probably have high rates of illegitimacy, welfare living, fatherlessness, drug use.

the City Legislature is run by R's and they hate the City they are from/in?

State legislature.

And yes they prefer to run "against" Milwaukee. Bad news being good partisan fodder.

so this quote from your post is either misleading or FOS,

if the City has control of the City, then blaming the R's in office at the state level is just pointing fingers and deflection ,

The city is part of the state, subject to the whims of the legislature. The reverse, however, is not true. The Milwaukee City Council's ordnances stop at the city limits and cannot supersede state law.

But if your point is that it's weak to blame the opposition politicians out of hand for problems, then your quarrel is with Ray and Vernon, not me. They're the ones who are flogging the "Democrat cities" trope.

I was pointing out that no Republican wants to try to run Milwaukee. Because there's no career up side to it. The formula on that side of the aisle is to run against Milwaukee. That's a political strategy that exists in this state and it's not deflection to point that out.

do you hum a tune while you are back peddling on your posts?

and yes, my comment holds, Milwaukee has control of the city, so the issues are theirs,, to post that it is the STATE (notice you did not include that word) Legislature that is causing the problem, because they are R's, is finger pointing and deflection,


so what is the Minn State Legislature not doing for Milwaukee?

I have 2 ideas that you will likely spew,

The people perpetuating the crime could give a rat's azz less who is in control of the state legislature. Bleeding heart municipal liberals have to blame something other than their failed policies, and the state legislature will do.

Can't you just talk about something without getting bent out of shape if you don't get instant agreement?

And do you really think you understand Wisconsin better than me???

I'll give you an example:

City to Legislature: we'd like to put more cops on the street. Real cops, not the feel-good social workers.

Legislature to City: Drop dead, any money is for tax cuts.

Blame whomever makes you feel the best. I don't care. But I know that the WI legislature thinks like you do, that the City of Milwaukee somehow isn't part of Wisconsin, and the legislature has no obligation to do right by the city.

Check out the stats on Fort Myers Florida ... Republican run in a Republican state ..... I wouldn't walk around there at night and I live close to it . I'm safer in the streets of Colombia

So what has this got to do with the issue .... all this bs we're talking about is an American issue ... " American" not Dem or Repub ... American .

All this horse chit is happening right here in America , and we're all to blame . We're kidding ourselves about less gun crime in places that have more lenient gun laws

I love my guns .... but truth is truth ... whether I like it or not

talking to yourself?

and you are still deflecting, the city can reallocate funds if they were serious, could they not?

so

1st sentence, you looking in the mirror,, do you ever really read your own posts?
2nd, maybe
3rd, that will be fun,
4th, odd for a D city,
5rth , expected, but you blame the R's but don't look at the city reallocating existing funds,
6th, more deflection , and a bit of word salad

Sure pick out only one one city run by Republicans with high crime why don't you mention all the the rest of the cities, run by Dems that have the highest crime rates in the country! Also you should check out on what part of the population does most of that gun crime, why blame the rest of the population and also why is it we are to blame! And I wonder how many of those gun crimes are committed with registered guns!
