“You let a city go down to ruins. You should have been there for us and you weren’t.”

“They begged for the governor to send in the National Guard from the start, and they didn’t get it.”

“Nearly 3 decades of employers paying into UI on my behalf, and I can’t seem to even get one penny from it.”

“I’m on the brink of losing everything”
