New Haven, you are a cesspool and I sound like a ranting republican.
You know, there were a lot of bullshitty things I didn't like about living in New Haven. I hated the proximity of my (mostly rude) neighbors, the drunks screaming up my block after last call, the nonstop blasting of music from cars driving by, the absolutely idiotic immigrant ID card program which was slipped in by the mayor without asking any of the tax payers ("In a vote of 25 to one, the New Haven Board of Aldermen voted today to accept $250,359 in private funds from the First City Fund Corporation to support the Mayor’s Municipal Identification Program." Really! Who the fuck did the Board of Aldermen check with? ) I hated the almost FIFTEEN HUNDRED dollars a year I paid in car taxes that NEVER reflected depreciation.
So, when I read that DeStefano is cutting basically every school program he can get his asshole hands on, raising property taxes 9.8 percent, closing 3 police substations, getting rid of anything that would even make New Haven a tiny bit tolerable WHILE ACCEPTING A sixteen THOUSAND DOLLAR raise and blaming Rell (I don't love her, but this shit is not her fault) for the whole thing? Fucckkkk that.
