[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But how is that possible? The Council gave us:

Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE), created to address violence in the District while assisting grieving and trauma-stricken families. Funded in 2024 at $31 million

Office of Gun Violence, which houses the Building Blocks program launched in 2021. Since then, that program has granted $2.6 million to individuals and community organizations via “mini-grants” of $5,000 and “mini-plus” grants of $15,000 to fight violence in targeted neighborhoods. In fiscal 2024, the program has awarded 12 mini-grants and 16 mini-plus grants totaling $300,000. The $88 million Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services earmarks nearly $70 million for youth and family programs.

Don’t forget DC taxpayers paying for a family’s $6000 Florida vacation.  That would have bought several patrol bikes for MPD cops.[/quote]

You can’t prevent stupid. I think we do need to think some sort of universal basic income. What else are you going to do with the poorly educated and criminally inclined? Other than elect them onto the Council that is.[/quote]
