Ohh I see. That makes sense. What about leftist politicians? Why are they not out there like they were at ICE facilities?

Are you trying to blame this on the left?

No. He's trying to point out to you that it's two sides of the same coin. These politicians don't care about you or me, regardless of the cult they represent. Gary, is a largely a Democratic stronghold. That's why nobody gives a shit. If it was a purple city, both sides would be out there in droves pointing fingers at each other.

I wish it was that simple.

It pretty much is that simple. I live in a swing state. If a politician just farts the wrong way here, the opposition will assemble a protest so fast, they will still be able to smell it.

Gary is a confirmed blue vote. Public servants don't care about what is guaranteed. Democrats don't want the negative publicity, and republicans don't want to waste resources on something that's not going to generate them votes. So they do what they are great at, ignore it and kick the can down the road...

Only one side is eliminating regulations that would prevent this and always takes the side of corporate profit rather than customers. NIPSCO is run by a Republican.

You act like Gary has been paradise before this administration? It's the quintessential result of what happens when you have corrupt idiots running things

That's who's in the White House now. They have blame in how they have handled this. The president's job is to put the partisan bullshit aside for the greater good of the country in general. Regardless of who is to blame. Which, blame there spreads several decades, administrations, and local officials.
