St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones (D) is creating a reparations commission to address the area’s past racial issues.
Jones in 2021, she was set to face “the dual challenges presented by a declining population and one of the worst murder rates in the nation,” Breitbart News reported at the time:
Police statistics show 262 people were killed in St. Louis last year — five fewer than the record of 267 set in 1993. But because the city’s population has declined sharply since 1993, the per capita homicide rate was much higher in 2020.Tishaura Jones has pledged to bring in more social workers, mental health counselors and substance abuse counselors.
“Beyond slavery, the panel is considering payments to compensate for a variety of allegedly discriminatory practices, including housing discrimination and ‘mass incarceration,'” Breitbart News reported Sunday.
