I want to debunk the rumors recently spread through social media. It’s disappointing that we have to address rumors due to the belief of a social media satire page. This is slowing down local government from solving concerns and challenges.
1. At no point has the federal or state government asked us to house a minority group.
2. There is no local government money being used for one minority group in our community.
3. Local government officials don’t “bring” people in to the community, nor do we have a say in removing anyone from the community.
4. We know the concerns and challenges and are working on the solutions.
5. The circumstances are being mis represented and we are gathering data, talking with community leaders, state officials, and are in contact with the Governor’s office.
We are a diverse community and have been for a very long time. Our community is aware of a large number of immigrants. We have one of the best collaboration of leaders in the state working on this and we are doing our jobs to the best of our ability. I will be formally asking the federal government to assist our community. I’m asking that citizens please refrain from false statements, especially those that threaten the lives of others.
The mayor might want to explain, when the city does have a serious affordable housing shortage? He chose to instead spend over one million dollars on a “boondoggle” project in State of Indiana Readi grant money to take the Iron Horse Museum and turn it into a toilet? He might explain how a local cash strapped non profit is now saddled with the collection with no monies provided by the city to cover their cost to conserve and display it? The mayor is all for the Farmers Market “NOW” after kicking them off the site for well over a year for an alleged apartment development that never happened and after a major public outcry and a packed city council meeting where it was proven the mayor had no authority to take away that land for redevelop that land in the first place. He might want to explain why we spend 100,000 per lot to develop a 52 unit housing development with homes in the 300-500K range on large lots behind a walmart (the lots are “free”) to presumably well off people in Logansport that can afford to build there. Might be noted the city was advised what they really needed was apartments on that site. Our mayor is clueless, and it may be why the council publicly dressed in down after his behavior at local bar and his failure to attend city meetings. You might want to look into how much the state Republican party spent in mailers to drag this RINO over the finish line in his reelection, only to have someone after his re-election who worked on his campaign “‘out him” and laughed about how they fooled everyone. You could do a whole series on this mayor.
I find it funny that Chris Martin is stating exactly what he did in the meeting from Wednesday. Scripted. NONE of those are rumors. It is the way it is here. WE are not safe even to go to a grocery store. Our children are not safe. He wouldn’t know what’s really going on in Logansport considering he doesn’t actually live here. Here’s my list from someone who does live here.
1. We are using community recourses for these people and our people are NOT receiving any help. It is being used for them.
2. It is unsafe to go to Walmart which is unfortunately the only place that has everything we need. I cannot take my child in there after the last encounter we had. A haitian woman hit my cart head on screaming at me to move. i refused. So she hit my cart. I then went to another aisle to get a storage tub. Another haitian woman came up and took it from me. I ripped it out of her hands. They do not like us, they DO NOT respect us.
3. They had “haitian revival” which consisted of a man screaming on a microphone to the point we could hear it in our home because everything is about them.
4. There is one church I know of that they were welcomed and they trashed it so they were told they can’t come back and then that church was being blasted on social media for being racist.
5. There are a lot of them on the corner of 19th and Broadway. I am told it is a brothel.
6. Not only is it unsafe to go to the store it’s unsafe to DRIVE. They don’t have insurance or a license so how does that work?
7. I was told there was a r*pe at a local bar and many more but it is nowhere in media.
8. My cousins (who I don’t claim) have been beaten by the haitian men. They are neighbors. Tires slashed.
They are stealing from stores.. constantly. They outright are eating the food in produce and throwing it on the ground. They are lurking around MY HOUSE. A haitian man tried to come into my home as i was getting my walmart delivery since I don’t feel safe going in. He was screaming at me and my fiancé came out and handled it. He was screaming rent. I have another friend who had ANOTHER haitian man try to come in her house saying the same thing. She handled that on her own because she is a single mom. I found one hiding between my house and a building next door which that is where my daughter’s room is. Speaking of my nine year old daughter, a grown haitian man whistled at her in the store. Which brings me to my next point of the haitian men driving around trying to pick up teenage boys and children outside playing. BUT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO WELCOME THEM?
FURTHERMORE…. I live on the river and behind my home there are tents along the riverbank with american FAMILIES with CHILDREN in tents. Why is that chris martin? PROBABLY because YOU have allowed it. They have nowhere to go everywhere is full to the brim with ungrateful dangerous haitians. FUCK YOU CHRIS MARTIN. We are being called racist when we are NOT!!! We have been put in an unsafe situation and we are PISSED!!! Not only are we being put in danger they have brought their AIDS with them. Nurses at the hospital have said they all have aids. every single one of them.
Horse feathers, balder-dash and poppycock. You people are the biggest bunch of liars known to man. This insurgence has been planned, calculated and implemented for the distinct purpose of overthrowing our democracy. And don’t tell us you have no authority to rid YOUR CITY of these illegals. They’re not “undocumented” they’re “ILLEGALS” and when President Trump takes office again, he’ll do what YOU refuse to do. He’s a nationalist, he’s not a globalist whole monger. He’s a patriot who will put Americans FIRST and then, if there’s room for others, okay
The Mayor is stating that the “Governments” are not funding these invaders.
However, our Government is giving funds to GMOs.
Are those GMOs paying them to be here ?

if there’s no problem, why are you asking for federal help?
