Now There's No Tax Hike?
Expect layoffs for non-police positions and probably a full stop hiring freeze for CPD:
- When the
Chicago City Council reconvenes Monday afternoon, the big question is
will Mayor Brandon Johnson have enough support to call for a vote on the
city's budget? And will there even be a new budget proposal to vote on
in place? Political observers say not likely.
The questions come as sources told ABC7 Sunday that Mayor Johnson's latest budget proposal will not include property tax hike.
When Mayor Brandon Johnson abruptly adjourned Friday's City Council meeting, he did so to avoid what would have been an embarrassing defeat as his second budget proposal failed to attract the minimum 26 votes needed to pass. The mayor's $68.5 million property tax hike was still too much to stomach for too many in City Council.
We did hear one radio report that Conehead was actually thinking of eliminating a single "deputy mayor" spot, but can't seem to fin it at the moment. Someone also said Conehead is completely protecting his inner circle which is something like five times as large as Groot's or Rahm's staffing (again, this was a social media post, so we have no idea how accurate it was).

How about all city employees take 2 furlough days a month unpaid and problem solved.
So what of the 1 billion dollar deficit the city faces? They just gonna stick their fingers in their ears, yell LALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU!!!", and pretend it's not there?
Oh, just you wait till CTU gets their whack at you. I guaran-damn-tee you there will be property taxes hikes coming from CPS.
Honestly the only hope for this city is for the feds to put it in receivership like Detroit was and turn Elon loose.

I wonder if he’ll lower his security detail, or freeze overtime for his over staffed detail?
Do everyone a favor and cut down on this in service training. Everyone agrees it’s useless and miserable, borderline mind torture. Just the same crap over and over labeled differently taught by people who have never been in the experience their teaching. This is becoming a dumpster fire of a job. Thanks.
BJ's story gets even more ghetto. Rumor is he hasn't even paid the caterers and delivery people from his City Hall Christmas party. And these are black-owned businesses. {snicker} Go ask local restaurant people downtown and in the West Loop. Brandon and his inner circle are known as dine-and-dash no-tip customers. What a POS.
It already is a hiring freeze ,, they will have to drop the stupid college requirements once the hiring freeze is done to get bodies back in . Off topic out of all the requirements being dropped to get on college is the one that isn’t a make it or break it to get on .
Bloated government. Get rid of all but one deputy mayor. Cut the 50 aldermen in half. Get rid of the violence interpreter BS, the safe passage BS, which only exists in certain zip codes. Demote all the "given not earned" higher up CPD positions. Put them all in a beat car. No more 30k haircuts or office furniture for the mayor and his wife
.And ZERO $$$ for ILLEGAL ALIENS. There..I just just balanced the budget for you.
The city really needs 17.3 billion??? C”mon man!!!
I’m pretty sure we will survive with 15 billion and still plenty to spare
From the looks of it all, Conehead and his entire administration will be unseated.
Democrat voter says...
All smoke and mirrors...taxes and fee's going up..
It's the Chicago way....Vote democrat for more
Who take care of the illegals...."Gasping sounds"...if we don't raise taxes, fees ?
Chicago values...wellllllllllllllll......pay up
But what about his hair stylist?
Cutting spending is not part of the Democrat Mantra.
At the end of the day, they spent a Billion on illegals and then need a Billion, real-estate or whatever they are getting it from you one way or another.
Start by eliminating the aldermens staff. No money, no staff. He can win this fight pretty easily.
Conehead has bigger problems than passing the budget. He will be in the klink with p-pity, r- I can't fly- Kelly, and little dork. Multiply what the Dixon lady took by 6 for a clue.
Even though we’re essential employees, if we have a government shut down the city can hold our paychecks for something like 45 days. So people should start to plan accordingly.
Hey, Pizza Man, how is Joyce Davenport doing? I bet she still looks great. Tell her to please consider running for a judgeship.
How about cutting his security staff the mayors detail from 111 police officers to 30 like Rham and the midget had.
Those Safe Passage people get $20 an hour to stand and watch kids walk to school.
This is what happens when you put an inexperienced person in a position of great responsibility. The most he ever had to supervise was a classroom.
Thank liberals!!
100% so redundant
No hike??
You mean NO PROPERTY TAX hike for now. Well just put $40 mil on a credit card and kick the can down the road and make taxpayers pay later. This is b.s and there is still all the other taxes fines and fees in the hundreds of millions of dollars they are going to try to pass.
Save money -- deport the thousands of illegals plain and simple. When chocago was declared.a sanctuary city no one said that taxpayers had to support migrants 100% with their tax dollars.
Deport conehead with them how.many times did he lie about taxes during his campaign. Answer too many to count
Lo and behold with the slightest amount of push back and fear of losing their aldermatic seats it's a miracle and we no longer need a $300 mil property tax increase isn't that something?
Don't fall for the okeydoke tho other taxes increases are still on the table and the plan to take out million dollar loans that will hit residents down the road are still on the table
JUST SAY NO. NO MEANS NO
Have the Feds come in and force the city to open the books. Let’s see all the skeletons the city has been and still is hiding.
"lay offs from non-police positions" there goes 99% of the caps office personnel

Cut COPA!
Time for an audit of city finances.
Yes, in the real business world you would do spending cuts and layoffs.
How about getting rid of all the PPP scammers
That will cut about a billion off the budget
Overtime overtime overtime overtime
While this moron ran probably the most stupidest person we’ve ever had bought and paid for by the teachers union dumb as a stone. The best thing he can do is resign is she President Trump already bringing in jobs billions of dollars an investment anyone ever pulls the lover for a Democrat is totally delusional and needs mental healthcare care. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-softbank-ceo-announce-100b-investment-critical-infrastructure-ai
What can we expect from a guy that could not even pay his bills you talk about a loser and he has well over 100 people on his security detail getting paid huge amounts of money and will take that money out of the pension fund. God willing him, and the governor will be Investigated by the federal government when President Trump gets an office lock them up.
Really SCC....
Don't forget those hard working teachers in a 40 per-cent raise...
Raising taxes and fee's, it's the Chicago way, so pay up.
You on druuuugggs...
I think his detail is about ready for a Deputy Chief position.
How about you eliminate more than half of the alderman! How is it the city of New York has 51 council members and Los Angeles has 15, but yet Chicago has 50. You can also cut back on the bloated executive staff across all city departments. There is tons of waste and corruption in this city, my only hope is when Trump takes office he appoints a support conservative AUSA to investigate the corruption of this great city. The voters at minimum need to at least start electing conservative democrats for this city, county and state to survive
I suggest adding a huge late charge on any new taxes, fees.
Chicago values... + late charge
Might someone be able to check to see what Mayor Johnson's disability is? I tried to drop my 96-year old mother off at the United Wheelchair check-in spot at O'Hare this morning. There was a Suburban parked in the handicap drop zone preventing me from walking my mom into the terminal. I asked the driver of the Suburban if she was disabled. The driver's response was, "I'm with the Mayor" whereafter she rolled up her window and turned on her blue flashing lights and, of course, would not move to allow my mom access to the entryway. I'm happy to send photos but don't have a clue as to how to do so.
How about you shutting up? Why should we take a pay cut to satisfy this moron mayor?
To the furlough day poster: the first responders should all take their two furlough days the minute you call 911.
CUT SPENDING!!! Pull out the city budget for 2010. Eliminate any department or unit citywide not in the 2010 budget. Dump CAPS & COPA. Dump all the deputy mayors.
how's about eliminate all exempt ranks except for Superintendent of Police . Just like CFD. get rid of 6 vice mayors,close some schools ,maybe have one principal in charge of 2 schools. get rid of 3rd man on streets and san crews and a driver in forestry. Let driver get out of truck an do some work,not sleep,read in truck. go down to 21 alderman positions,
City-wide; go after ALL the departments and agencies with titles like "Dep. Asst. Director" and "Asst. To" jobs, many of which are simply unneeded.
Can’t cut that because then who drive his kids to school? Doesn’t have to pay for car maintenance, insurance, gas, parking….
So just tax city employees? The people legally required to live here?
Over the weekend, Naperville Police officers were dispatched to the 1800 block of S. Washington St. in an attempt to locate a black GMC Acadia that was allegedly taken an hour earlier in a vehicular carjacking from another suburb. Officers located the vehicle and arrested three individuals following a brief foot chase and search. Read the full news release:
great work naperville pd too bad the political cowards who run the cpd do not allow us to do foot chases
Very entertaining
Conehead fled the podium so damn fast as a near riot breaks out at city hall

Layoffs for non police positions? Really? If the entire gaggle of "Merit," ass kissing, political hacks were laid off, who would notice? From, can't pass a test Fred, to the harem of ugly but compliant whores, strutting around every building! Who seem to infest most proof inside positions. The preening jerk offs contribute zero to any meaningful police work. Given, not earned!
I have been retired for 15 years went I came on there were 6 deputy chiefs one for each area now I understand the department has 17 or 18 what the hell do they do? I will bet that every one of them is a merit promotion with very little knowledge of how to run a police department, start cutting all those positions and more. No civilian should have any rank position in charge of police procedures , it is just political hack given a job. Want to save money start cutting the fat
I'd volunteer to take all of July and August as long as seniority does not stop.
Bring in an accounting company from out of state, (preferably a republican state) to do a forensic accounting. Then investigate and list all the funds that have been used for their pet projects that were misappropriated over the year's and turn it over to the new Trump FBI gets in and start criminally charging the ones involved in the scams.
Is evilness worse than evil, or is it not quite as bad?
Elon Musk solves Tesla and SpaceX's biggest problems in a week… they say bc he gets in the trenches and knows most aspects of his companies.
Yet here at cpd we have been having the same problem for years, even decades. Take getting prisoners into county jail. And day desk person knows how impossible it has become to get the prisoners past intake. They reject them for everything now. I’ve personally been present when the Lt has pleaded with our commander to try addressing this issue. His response.. well it’s always been that way. How bout fix the fucking problem or bring it up in compstat and have someone address it. They don’t care because the brass never has to deal with the prisoners coming back. It’s a cluster fuck every time.
I voted for BJ
He can start with the kid whose Dad was on Ed Burke’s detail. Five feet of entitlement.
Send it to one of our local news channels, make that ALL of our local news channels-they love that stuff!
This is sad and sick. Sorry you and your 96 y/o mother in a wheelchair had to endure this treatment by a DEI cop. This officer should have asked you if you need assistance with the wheelchair and help if you needed any. This is one of the reasons citizens cannot stand us anymore. Her entitlement needs to be exposed publicly. Please send those pics in to SCC. This connected asshole needs to go viral.
This is the worst. Have to deal with this again least once a week. Why can’t someone figure this shit out. They have an ordinary officer rejecting prisoners saying they need a mental health clearance, when they have a mental health hospital on sight. This system is extremely broken. Have to get a medical clearance after midnight otherwise they won’t accept anyone with a scratch. It’s a joke and nobody in the cpd will fix it.
What's really galling about the Safe Passage workers getting $20/he is that they are being paid to watch their own kids. And they are only there because they are getting paid.
When County won't accept prisoners, just give them Dart's home address and let them know they an get a free meal and a bunk there for the night.
Brandumb Conehead thinks he's saved because he didn't raise property taxes after all. However, no one will forget he ran on the fact he wouldn't and decided to anyway.
The worse thing you can do to tax payers is outwardly lie to them without shame.
CCSPD has always been a huge pain in the ass for taking prisoners. I mean that is their fucking job
Can we send illegals there too....some ruff ones been lurking another Mt. Greenwood
Just a matter of time
If you look back we had deputy superintendents, assistant deputy superintendents all of which are now either chiefs or deputy chiefs. Yes there are more deputy chiefs but it is not an increase in exempts as large as it appears. That being said, we still need to eliminate a bunch of these goofs.
