I interviewed 48 bankrupt Americans – here’s who they blame for their financial troubles

From Tess Wise at The Conversation.com:

“The people arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection had an 18% bankruptcy rate – twice as high as the national average – according to a Washington Post investigation. A quarter of the rioters had been sued by a creditor, and 1 in 5 faced losing their home to foreclosure…Most did not blame the government or America’s lack of social safety net for their troubles. Instead, they blamed the “entitlement” of others for ruining things for “hardworking Americans.” More often than not, I found, the “entitled” Americans they had in mind were members of minority groups.”

LWVPBC 2021-2022 Directories of Elected Officials

Continuing it’s advocacy, The League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County published a tri-fold directory that should be in every home. The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners published Government in Palm Beach County. It’s important that our county citizens know the Palm Beach County Delegation and the districts they represent.  We need quick access to their contact information when issues arrive.

Four ways to access this information:

  1.  The attached pdfs: Directory-of-Elected-Officials-2021 and Government in Palm Beach County
  2. The Link to the tri-fold brochure – https://lwvpbc.org/2020-2021-directory-of-elected-officials-2/
  3. The Link to the Government in Palm Beach County – https://discover.pbcgov.org/PDF/Publications/Government%20in%20Palm%20Beach%20County.pdf
  4. Paper copies are available.
