50-to-Zero
We haven't seen a loss this bad since the (pick your Chicago sports team here):
Mayor Brandon Johnson got the message on the first day of budget hearings that his $300 million property tax increase wouldn’t fly. But just in case it wasn’t abundantly clear, the City Council delivered that message again Thursday in the loudest of political terms.
The increase that would have broken one of Johnson’s fundamental campaign promises was shot down, with no debate, 50-0.
The unanimous vote was largely symbolic. Negotiations to reduce or eliminate the property tax increase and replace it with a mix of new revenue and reprogrammed federal pandemic relief funds began last weekend.
As the article says, "largely symbolic" but still, not a single aldercreature even threw him a sympathy vote.
Now would be the perfect time to propose and pass (by a 50-to-zero vote) a recall mechanism into Law for times when a mayor has lost the entire confidence of the Council and the electorate. A veto by Conehead would be overridden 50-to-zero.

Thought this was a prediction of the Bears v. Packers Sunday...
The good citizens who attended the vote had a few things to say to the Mayor.

Mayor Brandon Johnson has been in office for less than two years and has the city of Chicago is in total dysfunction. For all the voters who are so worried about history; take lots of pictures because you are witnessing the city being destroyed by complete mismanagement! We have a little over two more years to go!
Brandon. Brando. Johnson: Foot in mouth.
Symbol of how far he has fallen. He be in trouble
Johnson administration unifies City Council!
They all agree he is a moron!
Can the mayor ask the illegals for the money back? Lol
Aldermen “$150 million property tax hike? That’s more like it. We can vote yes on that.”
Taxpayers: “ Wow, we saved money!”
Brandon: “Those fools fell for it and are happy!”
Hopefully they don’t miss their pension payments.
Time to go over the books like a real business. Instead of increasing spending, you do cuts.
The Democrat gov of Illinois has formed a coalition with the Democrat gov of Colorado to fight against Trumps policies on illegals .. ITS TRUE.
The. new name for the coalition is Governors Of Democracy or GOD
50 fake aldermen playing the good cop / bad cop game with the conehead trrying to save their jobs trying to create an illusion of listening and fighting for US citizens. Bringing in the replacements for the black brown and white citizens that are being taxed out of their homes.
The Democrat axis of evil. MARXISTS conehead corrupting our youth with tribal identity politics and DEI bullshit. Yes if the aldermen that are supposed to represent the people over their pocketbook had any balls at all they would draft an ordinance a d pass a recall of the Mohawk by 50 to zero
Pound sand mayor you have lost the people
A recall mechanism would never pass.
Because if you allow the voters to recall a mayor, then why not the alderman too?
"It's all a big club and you are not in it"- George Carlin.
Oh and "send those buses to Caracas -- Brandon JOHNSON is a Marxists.!!
From Chicago To D.C. Illegal migrants must flee.

Trumps border czar Tom Holman channeling Ludicrous telling Chicago conehead and Illinois Porky Pig to Move Bitch get out the way

Of course all 50 are against this. They would also feel the property tax increase. The more expensive the property, the more the tax. Sure they all live in really nice expensive houses. Which is fine. They deserve it. They worked for it. LOL!
Prtizker may have whispered in a few ears so he didn't have to remove any toilets again.
Rahm would be angry and stamp his tiny feet.
Mix of new taxes, as Hillary says "What difference does it make"
Yep, that was the plan the whole time. It’s been done many times. Foolish voters.
It's going to be interesting to see how much lower he can go before the next mayoral election.
But the first order of business for that coalition of governors is "What's for lunch?"
And then put on his pink tights and pirouette into graceful en point finishing pose.
Well said!
When Trump announces there will BE NO MORE FEDERAL MONEY to feed and house our new Democrats we'll see how much shit Jabba Pritzker is gonna be talking. Chicago, New York and Colorado will be begging Trump to send the buses to pick them up. Trump should send buses AND MAKE THEM PAY THE BILL.
You’re going to pay one way or the other.
The 50 alder-thieves want to pretend that they give a shit about there constituency there playing you morons like the Democratic fucking sheep that you’s are ! Do you want to balance the city budget? Cut the spending at CPS high school are under utilized With many having enroll Of 20% or less and you’re paying for the cost of too many teachers that are unneeded Custodial Steph, maintenance staff, and engineering staff plus the cost of utilities in school buildings that are mostly vacant ! The CTU punk made bitch won’t do what’s right because his masters that put him in office will not allow for any cuts to there bloated school budget, or there obscene salaries ! The CPS is turning out individuals that are functionally illiterates and these socialist, Marxist indoctrinates at the CTU want a salary Increase for turning out a garbage product !
Funny how this video was removed

If Chicago as a whole got rid of all the make-work jobs (meaning middle and upper management, not actual grunt-level slots) in every City department, the City might be financially solvent in just a few years. But Johnson needs his New Patronage Army slots to hire more Socialists.
So there is hope? 🤣
I still will never vote for a democrat
As a citizen, I think CPD when encountering a subject, or subjects believed to be illegal and committing crimes, should notify ICE immediately. This administration is a disaster and has destroyed this city. They clearly don't care about the will of the American people!! Stop all sanctuary cities!!!
SAY HER NAME: LAKEN RILEY!!!!
They reduced the speed limit AGAIN...no pushback from the aldermen, raising alcohol and other taxes....they are wolves in sheep clothing...all of them.
What’s the over/under on his next debilitating panic attack?
So conehead says he’s going to attending Ofc Martinez funeral, even tho the family asks he doesn’t. I’d hate to make a spectacle out of our fallens going home ceremony, but what’s the plan to show dickhead our disapproval? I saw a posting in one group with a few people already lined up with signs and such to greet dickhead at St Rita
OT - https://nypost.com/2024/11/14/real-estate/ken-griffin-sells-chicago-penthouse-for-a-44-loss/
Billionaire hedge fund mogul Ken Griffin is continuing his exodus from Chicago with the sale of his luxury penthouse at the No. 9 Walton condo tower, taking a staggering 44% loss on the deal.
Griffin offloaded the top two floors — the 38th and 39th levels — of the prestigious building for $19 million, well below the $34 million he paid in 2017, Crain’s reported.
This significant markdown underscores the struggles of Chicago’s luxury real estate market and the broader economic consequences of what many, including Griffin himself, consider failed city governance.
They just wanted to get his attention.
Johnson constantly reminds us of what a dog ass he really is.
Institute recall for this blithering idiot and all follow on mayors.
we must have the ability to recall Numb Nuts Johnson. Alserfolks should start beating the drums.
“But the first order of business for that coalition of governors is "What's for lunch?"
I bet JB likes burgers at Bobs Big Boy. I’m sure Newsome is in his new coalition so JB can pay to fly them all to Cali where they still exist. He can use his inherited billions or the money he saved ripping the toilets out of his mansion annex on the Gold Coast.
Spitting image, especially the hair lol. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2013/06/14/bye-bye-bobs-big-boy/
