How terrible. Forcing people to eat outside amongst the elements. Or those poor residents. I'm sure this would be the GOPs point of view.

So you are saying mayors operate in a money vacuum without funding from states or the federal govt. So since when has the GOP ever cared about the poor, the common factor of those cities.

And what states are the leaders in? Republican proving the GOP doesn't care about crime. And the most common thing of all is poverty. The poor people are the easiest victims and the GOP certainly doesn't care about them and never have. Medicaid used mostly by the poor, cut by the GOP.
