Another CA city helmed by Democratic Mayor Declares Bankruptcy

July 11, 2012 by B. Daniel Blatt

Last month, it was Stockton, a California city helmed by a a Democrati-backed Mayor.  Earlier today, Yahoo! reported that 

The City Council in San Bernardino voted Tuesday night to seek Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, making it the third California city in less than two weeks to make the rare move.

The Southern California city of about 210,000 people will also become the second largest in the nation ever to file for bankruptcy. Stockton, the Northern California city of nearly 300,000, became the biggest when it filed for Chapter 9 on June 28.

. . . .

“We have an immediate cash flow issue,” Interim City Manager Andrea Miller told Mayor Patrick Morris and the seven-memberCity Council, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Wikipedia identifies Morris as “a member of the Democratic Party.”  Do wonder how that tidbit could have escaped the notice of the Associated Press, responsible for the article.

    When does California itself file for bankruptcy?

    After November, when its people say no to Brown’s proposed massive tax increase.

    And what about Scranton PA? They’ve run out of cash and the entire city work-force…including the fire and police…are getting just the State’s Min. Wage of $7.25 straight-pay-only ’til further notice. No-one mentions that the city has been run by those Union-friendly Democrats since-forever.

    I bumped into Reverend Wright at the intersection of Stockton and San Bernardino and he was waving his arms frantically and shouting: “The Chicken-n-n-n-n-s are coming home to r-o-o-o-o-s-t!”

    Jesse Jackson, Jr. could not be reached for comment, but Debby Blabbermouth Schultz did say that undocumented chickens should be allowed to roost without fear of being plucked by Republicans.

    It is funny that in all of the political scandals, bankrupcies and the like here in Cali, the leftywhore media never, ever mentions the fact that all are DEMOCRATS! Good for Wikipedia for mentioning this one. Oh, and I guess one good thing Gov. Moonbeam has done is get rid of these corrupt “redevelopment” agencies. What they are in reality is a cash cow to Democrats ruining good cities.
