A deprived Boston community has been left 'on fire' after the governor of Massachusetts requisitioned a vital rec center to house the surge of migrants arriving in the city. Democrat Maura Healey was accused of treating the Roxbury neighborhood 'like garbage' after she locked residents out of the Melnea A. Cass Recreational Complex with less than 48 hours notice. She insisted it was needed to house the new arrivals, dozens of whom have been sleeping rough in the city's airport for months. But residents in the majority-black neighborhood demanded she explain why their cherished facilities had been chosen to take the hit. 'You're really putting us in a bad, bad situation,' resident Rodney Singleton told her at a public meeting, 'and it's not fair.' The neglected facility will receive a makeover worth $500,000 to make it fit for the 125 families that are expected to move in State Senator Liz Miranda told the Boston Globe. 'The outrage you're seeing is valid. Roxbury has never gotten its fair share out of the city and the state,' she added. 'I'm hoping West Roxbury steps up, I'm hoping Wellesley steps up, other communities that have rich resources.' Massachusetts' shelters reached capacity in November, with 7,500 families in its system. Some are now being housed in hospital waiting rooms and church halls. Migrants are expected to start moving in on Wednesday to the Roxbury site as it becomes the state's fourth 'safety-net site' for those waiting for a place in Massachusetts' emergency shelter system. But it is also home to community sports groups providing a precious outlet for vulnerable youngsters. 'It's the long-term effect that we're concerned about,' said Domingos DaRosa of the Boston Bengals youth athletic organization. 'Reengaging these kids might not be as easy as 1-2-3.' Said Hassan Ahmed, of Boston United Track and Cross Country said the decision had left his program instantly 'homeless'.
Black voters to the democrat party As a previously wise man (doesn't seem that wise anymore) once said
The Republican Party is not only likely to win The EC in Nov but also the popular vote for the first time in 20 years but its the Republican Party that is a hot mess right now? Leaving the democrat party has allowed me to see how crazy some democrats are for the first time ever
Genocide Joe going to Palestine, Ohio to take them down off the shelf and use them at election time. Same thing he does with minorities. Good luck with that. They all hate him now.
