The end result of liberalism:
If you planned to check out a library book, visit a city clinic or have your garbage picked up on Monday, you’re out of luck.
The City of Chicago will basically be closed for business on Aug. 17, a reduced-service day in which most city employees are off without pay, according to a release from the Office of Budget and Management. City Hall, public libraries, health clinics and most city offices will be closed.
Emergency service providers including police, firefighters and paramedics will be working at full strength, but most services not directly related to public safety, including street sweeping, will not be provided, the release said…
…”Every dollar we save from these measures helps to save jobs, and in the long-term, maintain services for Chicagoans,” Mayor Daley said in the release. “This plan relies on most of our civilian employees to be part of the solution to our very serious budget challenges. I want to thank them again for their sacrifice.”
More of more of this is to come – the economy is far worse than the banks and the federal government is letting on (they are hoping that a course of positive thinking will get things rolling again) and the entire mountain of liberal fiscal mismanagement is crashing down.
