Ngu-Henry Lowendorf, iBhunga loXolo lase-US
Yintoni eyayingenza isixeko saseNew Haven senze imali eninzi ngokukhulula uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwase-US? Le nto yayingumxholo wee-public hearing kwiBhodi yeAlders ngoJanuwari 26, 2017.
IiNtloko zamasebe ezininzi zedolophu zibonise ukuba ziyakwazi ukuzalisekisa izibophelelo zabo kwiimfuno zabemi baseNew Haven ukuba ngaba kuphela bafumana izibonelelo.
IKomiti yeeNkonzo zoLuntu zeBhodi eyayiholwa yiWard 27 Alder Richard Furlow yabamba inkundla esekelwe kwisisombululo esicetywayo yiSixeko soKhuseleko lweSizwe soKhuseleko kunye neBhunga elinoKhuseleko eNtsha.
USeth Godfrey, uSihlalo weKomishoni yoKhuseleko, wabonisa ukuba i-55% yeedola zerhafu zeseburhulumenteni kodwa iya kulungiswa ukuze ihlangabezane neemfuno zabantu kwizixeko ezimbi njenge-New Haven.
Igosa likaMongameli uToni Harp lafundwa ngokuxhasa inkxaso yokubuyisela imali ekujonganeni neendlala, ezempilo kunye neziseko zokwakha. Inkxaso-mali eyongezelelweyo yayiza kunceda ezo nkcubeko zikhangele i-ballet kunye nekisiksi, i-symphony yexesha elipheleleyo, i-opera, isiko lobugcisa ukufundisa izakhono zendalo zokugcina.
Amanye amagosa asezidolophini afika etafuleni ukunikela ubungqina, abaninzi babo babulela iBhodi ithuba lokukwenza "kuthini ukuba" ukucinga.
I-Dierdre Gruber kunye ne-Arecelis Maldonado evela kwiMpilo kaRhulumente ixhala ukuba abahlengikazi be-42 bakhonza izikolo ze-56 kunye ne-8,000 abantwana abaneemfuno zonyango kuquka ukugonywa, ezinokubonelelwa ngemali eyaneleyo.
ISebe loPhuhliso lweSixeko asixhasi, kubikwa uMlawuli uMat Nemerson. Ngomsebenzi "woluhlu lwezoxolo," ubuninzi bommandla kunye nezindlu zingabhekiswa, kuquka ukuphela kokungenamakhaya. Enyanisweni, iinkonzo zezindlu ezingenamakhaya zifuna malunga ne-$ 100 yezigidi. I-Tweed-New Inokhenketho inokwandisa umzila wayo ukulungiselela ii-airplanes. Iinkqubo ze-incubator zokunceda ama shishini amancinci kunye nosomashishini baya kunokwenzeka. Esi sixeko sinokukhuphisana nabathuthuli abazimeleyo abathengi umhlaba kunye neebhanki benethemba lokwenza inzuzo enkulu kunokuba bahlakulele kwiindawo zokuhlala okanye kwiindawo zoshishino. Isikhundla sezoshishino singalungiselelwa iinkampani ezizifunayo kwisixeko sethu.
"Le ndlebe inikeza ithuba lokwenene ukujonga umfanekiso omkhulu," waqalisa ingunjine yesoxeko uGiovanni Zinn. Imigwaqo, iindlela zokuhamba, iibhuloji kunye nemifudlana yonke idinga umsebenzi. Kukho i-110 yezigidi zegap. Simele sijongane nommandla wethu wonxweme oya kuthintela ngenguqu yemozulu. Isiteshi sesigodi sidinga ukurhweba esilinganiselwe kwi-50 yezigidi. Izindlu zokuqeshisa zifuna izixazululo zamandla ezivuselelekayo. Ukwenza izinto zibe zibi nakakhulu, silindela i-dollar ephantsi. UZinn wagqiba ngokuthi, "Siyabonga ithuba lokuba 'kuthini ukuba' ukucinga."
UJeff Pescosolido, umlawuli weeNkonzo zoLuntu, wongezwa kwibali. Imali engakumbi ithetha iindlela ezingcono kunye nokuhamba okukhuselekileyo. I-3 yezigidi ukuqala kunye ne-$ 2 yezigidi ngaphezulu ngonyaka ezifunekayo zokugcinwa kwendlela. Isixhobo sokuhlaziya siya kuphucula inkonzo. Iiprojekthi ezijikelezayo zonyaka, isanti yasebusika, iindlela zokuhlaziya ezakhiwe ngokutsha, ukulungiswa zonke zidinga imali engaphezulu kunye nabasebenzi.
Isiteyitimenti esivela kuMichael Carter, iGosa eliyiNtloko lezoLawulo laseNew Haven, safundwa kwirekhodi. Ukubuyisela iiPaki neMisebenzi yoLuntu kumanqanaba ka-2008 - phambi kokudodobala kwezoqoqosho kwihlabathi liphela - kungathetha ukuqesha abantu abangama-25 abasikiweyo kwabangaphambili nabali-15 kwabokugqibela. Izigidi ezisi-8 zeedola ziyafuneka ukwakha igaraji yezithuthi eziluhlaza zedolophu. UCarter ubulele "ngokudala le ndlela yokucinga."
Inkulu enkulu kwiinkonzo zabantu yabhekiswa nguMarta Okafor, umlawuli weeNkonzo zoLuntu. Asikwazi ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezisisiseko. Kufuneka sijolise "ekungenamakhaya kwindlu yesitalato, engafaniyo nokungahlali kwabangenamakhaya." Kufanele sijolise kubantwana ngaphandle kwezindlu ezizinzile. Sinokuthintela njani ukungenamakhaya umntu olahlekelwe ngumsebenzi wakhe kwaye engenakho imali. Siyihlawula njani iinyanga ze-1-2 ize izuze umsebenzi, okanye ihlinzeke ngezothutho ukuze ifike emsebenzini. Akukho nto kwiintsapho, akukho nto kwiqabane elingenabantwana. Ngaphandle kwemali, sinokuyilwakha njani izitishi zokusabalalisa ukutya kunye nokunikezela ngeenkonzo ezininzi kubantu abadala kunye nolutsha?
Abemi basekuhlaleni bafaka ubungqina.
U Patricia Kane, omele iNew Greenven Party, wathi ilizwe liye lisekhompini yezobomi ngonaphakade ukususela kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II, kusemngciphekweni kwaye iNew Haven inzima ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zabantu. Wayekhuthaza ukuba uqoqosho oluhlaza lufumane amandla angaphezulu kunye noqoqosho loqoqosho lwendawo.
Ibhunga leXolo leNgcwaba elitsha, elinye lamalungu abaxhasayo kwisigqibo esaholela kule ntetho, yayimelwe nguHenry Lowendorf.
Wayeyincoma imizamo emihle yesixeko ukuba ibe yindawo engcwele kubantu abavela kwamanye amazwe. Wadibanisa iingozi zobomi obunokubakho abantu obunobungozi - ukufudumala kwehlabathi kunye nemfazwe yenyukliya - njengokuba sikwazi ukulawula. Wacaphuna uMartin Luther King, owawubona imfazwe njengentshabalala yabampofu, kunye noMongameli uDwight Eisenhower obone ukulungiselela imfazwe njengezitha zeziseko zethu zelizwe. Isilinganisi esicatshulwa kwisiqingatha sesihlanu sesabelomali sithathwe kwi-New Haven abakhokhi berhafu ngonyaka ukulwa nemfazwe, ebonisa i-gap enkulu kwimisebenzi, izibonelelo, i-Headstart kunye ne-college scholarships. Kwaye wabiza amagosa asezidolophini ukuba afune ukuba abameli bethu belizwe bacebise imali yokulwa nemfazwe kwiimfuno zabantu.
Abanye abahlali besixeko bafaka ubungqina ngolu hlobo lokuqala ukuva malunga nento esiyayenza ngayo umzi ukuphakamisa abahlali bethu ngorhwebo lwangonyaka olwenziwe kwimfazwe.
Isisombululo sitsho ukuba amalungu ethu eNkongolo aphelise uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali kwaye adlulisele imali egcinwe kwiidolophu zethu zadlula iKomiti kwaye ngoFebruwari yagqitywa iBhodi yeAlders. Yathunyelwa kwiCongresswoman uRosa DeLauro, uSenator uRichard Blumenthal kunye noSenator Chris Murphy. Kuze kubekho mpendulo yafunyanwa. UMongameli uHarp naye wangenisa inguqu ehlaziyiweyo yesisombululo kwiNgqungquthela yeMeya yase-United States apho iphinda idlule ngokuvumelana.
Indlela esiphumelele ngayo ukuvalelwa koluntu ekuhambiseni isisombululo semali kwi-New Haven CT.
Amava eNew Haven abonisa umlando omdala woxolo kulo mzi, ubukho bekhomishoni yoLuntu lweSixeko soxolo kunye nokwakhiwa kwexesha elide kunye namalungu eBhodi yeAlders kunye noMeya.
IBhunga elinoKhuseleko elitsha leNkulumbuso liqalise isisombululo entwasahlobo ye-2016 eyathunyelwa yiKhomishoni yoLwazi lweSixeko kwiBhodi yeAlders. Sasilandele inkqubo efanayo kwi-2012 xa siphumelele ngempumelelo isisombululo esibizwa ukuba sibeke kwi-voti ukuvakaliswa kokunciphisa ibhajethi yempi kwaye sisebenzise imali egcinwe kwiimfuno zabantu. I-referendum iphumelele i-6 kwi-1 nekota ezintathu zabavoti inxaxheba.
Sisebenza kunye nesihlalo seKomiti yeeNkonzo zoLuntu zeBhodi, esihlangana nabo rhoqo, ukuqinisekisa ukuba isisombululo safika phambi kwekomiti yakhe. Siye saxubusha nesisombululo kunye noMeya kwangaphambili ukuqinisekisa ukuba wavuma ukuba iintloko zesebe zingqina. Sasixhalabele ukuba babeza kunqwenela ukongeza umsebenzi ongaphezulu kwiimali zabo ezixakekile. Ngaphambi kokonyulwa kwakhe njengodolophu, uToni Harp wayengummeli welizwe owenzela thina ukuzisa umthetho othi ukudala umyalelo weTCT oye wahlola ukuguqulwa kwimikhosi ukuya ekuvelweni kwabantu. Siphinde sathetha ngenye yeenkonzo zowiso-mthetho, ezinikezela inkxaso kumalungu eBhodi yeAlders, yinto yazo zonke iintloko zesebe zisebenzisana kakhulu nabantu abahlala kweso sixeko kwaye ziza kuba negalelo elivakalayo kwiindlebe. IKomiti yeeNkonzo zoLuntu yamema loo magosa asemzimbeni.
Ngaloo ndlela senza umsebenzi wesikolo.
Ubu bungqina bukaHenry Lowendorf:
NdinguHenry Lowendorf, umongameli we-Greater New Haven Peace Council. Ndiyilungu-Sihlalo weKomiti yeDemocratic Demo ye-Ward kunye nelungu leKomiti yeDemocratic Town.
U-Alder Furlow kunye namalungu eKomidi Yeenkonzo Zabantu, siyabonga ngokubamba le ntetho.
Siphila kwixesha eliqhelekileyo.
NgoLwesihlanu odlulileyo urhulumente ophendulela kakhulu kwimbali yethu uthathe ulawulo eWashington. Iintlanganiso zeMigqibelo zokugqibela zagqitywa ngaphesheya kweUnited States. Babenabantu abaninzi abangazange bathathe inxaxheba kwimiboniso karhulumente yokuchasana nemigaqo-nkqubo yokubhubhisa yaloo rhu lumente.
Olu lwentlanganiso lwenzeka phakathi kwezinto ezisongelayo thina kunye nesixeko sethu esibhekene nazo ngexesha lethu lobomi.
Inkxaso entsha kunye nezobungqina kubani basemzini kwisixeko sethu kuya kufuna ukuba bonke abamelwane bethu bamele amalungelo abo. Siyazi ukuba onke amalungelo ethu ahlaselwa.
Ewe, iNew Haven kufuneka ibe yindawo engcwelisiweyo yamalungelo abantu abafudukela kwamanye amazwe, kodwa kwanelungelo lokufumana umsebenzi omhle, ilungelo lokufumana imfundo efanelekileyo kunye nelungelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo kunye nelungelo kwizitrato ezikhuselekileyo.
Ukutshiswa kwehlabathi jikelele kusongela ukhuseleko lwethu namhlanje nakwixesha elide. Esinye isongelo kuthi kunye nempucuko yintlukwano ye-nyukliya ngokukhawuleza ephuma eYurophu okanye eSiriya.
Noko ke, isisongelo esisisiseko, kukuba ulawulo olutsha lwe-US kunye neCongress lubonisa yonke injongo yokusika imali kwiidolophu, iinkonzo zabantu kunye neemfuno zabantu, ukusika kwithambo.
Ndiqinisekile ukuba abameli bethu kwiNgqungquthela baya kunqanda kwindlela abanokuyenza ngayo imizamo yabantu abaninzi baseRiphablikhi ukuze bathuthule iinkqubo ezikhonza iimfuno zabemi baseHunde. Kodwa yintoni efunekayo ukuba isixeko sethu siphile kwaye siphumelele into ehluke kakhulu kwizinto esizifumene kumhla.
Kwi-1953, uMongameli uEisenhower wasilumkisa, "Yonke imipu eyenziweyo, zonke iinqanawa zemfazwe ezisunguliweyo, yonke irokethi edutyulweyo ibonisa, ekugqibeleni, ubusela kwabo balambileyo nabangondliyo, abo bayabanda nabanganxibanga. Eli hlabathi kwiingalo alichithi mali lodwa. Ichitha ukubila kwabasebenzi bayo, ubungqondi bezazinzulu zayo, amathemba abantwana bayo… Le asiyondlela yokuphila kwaphela, nangayiphi na indlela yokwenyani. Ngaphantsi kwelifu lokusongela imfazwe, bubuntu obujinga emnqamlezweni wentsimbi."
Sivale kwiinqununu zorhulumente wesixeko ubunzima besixeko sethu kufuneka sihlangabezane neembopheleleko zayo kubemi bayo. Ngenxalenye enkulu ezo ngxaki zivela kwizibhamu ezenziwe, iinqwelo zemfazwe zaqaliswa kunye nama-rocket aphephelwa. Bachitha amandla esi sizwe. UMongameli uMartin Luther King, Jr., wathetha ngokugqithiseleyo kwi1967, "Ndiyazi ukuba iMelika ayisoze idalwe yimali ebalulekileyo okanye amandla ekubuyiselweni kwamatyala akhe ngokude nje ukuba iinjongo ezifana neVietnam zaqhubeka zidweba amadoda kunye nezakhono kunye nemali njengenye iidemoni , ityhubhu yokutshatyalaliswa. Ngoko ke ndiyanyanzelekile ukuba ndibone imfazwe njengezitha zabampofu kwaye ndihlasele. "
Kwi-2017, imfazwe iyaqhubeka iyintshabalala yabampofu, ngokwenene ininzi yabemi bethu.
I-Connecticut, enye yezona zizwe ezicebile kakhulu kwilizwe elicebile kakhulu kwihlabathi, iqulethe ezinye zezona zixeko ezihluphekayo, kuquka iNew Haven. Simele sibhekane nenyaniso yokuba isixeko sethu kunye nezinye izixeko zizama ukufumana izixhobo eziyimfuneko kuba eli lizwe lichitha kakhulu kwiimfazwe, kumalungiselelo emfazwe, ekwakheni izixhobo.
Uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali oluseburhulumenteni olwenziwa yiNgqungquthela minyaka yonke i-53% yeerhafu zethu zerhafu kwiPentagon kunye nokufudumala. 53%. Abantwana, izikolo, iMfundo, izibonelelo, indawo, impilo, uphando, ipaki, ukuthutha - yonke into isabelo esishiyayo.
Kunyaka ngamnye abatsha abathengi abatsha bathumela i-$ 119 yezigidi kwi-Pentagon. Oku ku malunga ne-18% yebhajethi ye sixeko.
Yintoni esinokuyenza ngayo loo mali? Yakha
Imisebenzi yeziseko ze-700, kwaye
Imisebenzi yamandla ecocekileyo ye-550, kwaye
Imisebenzi yokufundisa yesikolo saseprayimari ye-350.
Okanye sinako
I-600 ye-4-year-scholarships yunivesithi
I-900 HeadStart imithombo yezingane
Imisebenzi ye-850 kwiindawo ezihlwempuzekileyo.
Iimfazwe eziqhubekayo nezingapheliyo azisilondolozi. Yintoni eya kusenza sikhuseleke yimisebenzi enceda abahlali besixeko sethu.
Ukuba siya kulwa nokuhlaselwa ngoku ngokuvela eWashington, sonke kufuneka sibambe ndawonye. Kwaye ngaphezu kwayo yonke into kufuneka sifune ukuba abameli bethu beCongressal bayeke ukuxhasa iimfazwe, bayeke ukuxhaswa ngemishini yokubulala, kodwa kunokuba baxhase imisebenzi eyenziwa yiNew Haven kunye nayo yonke imizi yase Connecticut.
Enkosi.
