What I\u2019m hearing now is encouraging, we \u2063needed to hear this a year ago when this crisis first \u200dstarted\u2063 in\u200b Chicago, we had a trickle that led to a torrent, and now\u2062 we\u2019re spending 300 million of our own funds,\u200d that\u2019s about 5% of our\u2064 federal municipal budget to \u200daddress a \u200cproblem that didn\u2019t even exist\u200c a year\u2064 a \u200bhalf\u200b ago, \u2062where\u2019s the federal government been?
