Tax Hike in Trouble?

 You don't sit down to "negotiate" if you're winning, and Conehead isn't winning:

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson said during a press conference Tuesday he is willing to continue negotiating with City Council members who are working to defeat his $300 million property tax hike. It comes as a special City Council meeting is being delayed.

    Aldermanic sources said, at this point, behind-the-scenes budget negotiations could result in the property tax hike being reduced to $135 million, or maybe even $100 million. The mayor would not confirm any figures, but said he's willing to work with the Council.

There are already enough aldercreature votes to tank the entire thing, so everyone is looking for their own angle before selling their vote to Conehead and the CTU.  They're looking at taxing all sorts of "cloud" services and other business taxes....things sure to push already fleeing businesses toward the exists even faster, which will result in more taxes....which in turn....

You get the idea - death spiral. Instead of closing twenty or so underutilized high school buildings and selling the property which would close the budget gap for the next few years.

How much money are those suits that he wears?
You can bet he has a special "account" just for his clothes.
On OUR dime of course.

ARE WE FOOLS

They’re cutting taxes from $300 million to $135 million. This was their intended figure in the first place. But now these pieces of garbage can say to their constituents they fought to reduce the budget so we will swallow it easier.

See it for what it is.

Too bad we can't collect money from parking meters.... oh yeah, RMD Longshanks did that for the taxpayers here, then got an at-counsel job at the law firm that negotiated the deal.

Well, he’s a desperate man left holding a bag of progressive IOUs after the nation moved on around him. The teacher may have to go back to teaching in his ghetto school after all. Fortunately, it’s 3/4 empty so there will be lots of classroom space to hold his security detail…

Conehead would have a hard time running a lemonade stand on the corner with a bunch of kids. He can't even take care of his own personal finances. Counting the days until I can get out of here.

Time to open the books at CPS.
See what's being spent and where. Cuts in teaching staff and layoffs, just like the real world.

And all the money he spends on the shoe polish he uses to dye his hair.

Hey, Conehead, just shut up, please. If we want any shit out of you, we'll squeeze your pointy head.

30% of CPS schools are at half capacity or less. Closing and consolidating those schools would balance the budget, not to mention it's common sense. That the CTU is able to defend the status quo is only possible because the media and the 5th floor supports their narrative that to do so is racist.

Catholic school mentality. Keep raising the tuition as student enrollment drops. Then close the school.
