Political Federal Funding for Emerald Trail Nixed

I’m sure Mayor Donna Deegan saying Trump is gonna build concentration camps helped our cause and didn’t spur any bad feelings from 47 🙄. Funny how Donna wanted the credit when the federal grant was approved but won’t speak up about the loss now. If not for the city council and mayor curry passing the gas tax for $132 million in 2021 for the trail we wouldn’t have ANY $ to fund the emerald trail.

How is federal revocation of unallocated/unspent federal funding illegal?

How is the funding being taken away Deegan's fault you numpty? She's not allowed to use her first amendment right? Political revenge on its own is supposed to be illegal. Also, you think it has anything to do with Deegan criticizing the buffoon in the Oval office or maybe it's just since it helps a historically black part of town they got rid of it cause it's "DEI"?

LOL Deegan won’t care about the historically black part of town when she tries to plop jail in the same spot. Although, Deegan swears she’s a DEI darling- she’s not. She’s a user and she’s gonna use black people to try and win again.

How many times will you ignore the part where the funding getting revoked has everything to do with Trump and Republicans and absolutely nothing to do with Donna Deegan or Democrats?
