Republican-led cities and Democratic-led cities both saw near-identical rises (35.6% vs. 36.2% basically.) In Texas, Abbott tried to slam Austin for a 50% increase after they decided to reduce spending when Fort Worth increased spending and saw a 60% increase in murders. And as mentioned, hardly any localities have even reduced spending. Something like 12 out of 18,000 by Fall 2020 and most of them blamed budget shortfalls brought on by COVID (and how the Senate GOP refused any state and local aid so they had no recourse). And the rates were rising well before that, well before the protests around the murder of George Floyd as well. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
