Budget Rejected
Conehead showing - once again - that he isn't any sort of leader:
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s already strained relationship with the City Council sunk to a new low on Monday when the Finance Committee rejected his nearly $600 million plan to, as he put it, “challenge the ultra-rich and corporations to pay their fair share.”
The vote was 25-10. The defeat came only after a motion to postpone the vote failed by an 18-18 tie vote.
“Can we just get this over with? This is a joke. They’re calling people out there right now to delay this,” said Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th).
For Johnson, it was a repeat of last year’s 50-0 City Council vote rejecting his proposed $300 million property tax increase.
The people (or folks) closest to the ground level, realize that "challeng[ing] the ultra-riach and corporations to pay their fair share" isn't any sort of strategy, because as proven time-and-time again for the past two decades or so, those people and companies will just pack up and leave once the balance moves too far out of their favor.
Or didn't Dumbass notice the vacancy rate downtown is passing 30% and closing in on 40%? That's NOT a healthy economy that can support all the "progressive" stupidity burning holes in the budget.

The local politicians' mood is moving steadily to one of packs of snarling feral chihuahuas.
The pungent aroma of fear juices pulsating from the pores of the city and county current grifters are stimulating raw ankle biting surges from said packs.
Keep distance from the fray, it's gonna get sloppy messy.
Microeconomics evidently is not in the wheelhouse of Conehead or the rest of his administration.
Bet that POS, former CPD Sgt and traitor to our profession taliaferro supported it.
When the leftist alderman vote against coneheads budget you know it's bad.
Here we go, this will fix everything

Good now the next thing is to get him out of office.
Cut the fucking budget!!! or don’t EVER ring my doorbell or ask for a signature for some lame ass person to be put on a ballot
I'd like to see a comedy cop-buddy show with Brandon Johnson and his socialist NYC comrade Zoran Mumdani riding together and blunder about the big city. At some point in every episode they would crash their car then run away on foot attempting to lie and blame it on someone else. {Honk Honk} Welcome to America 2.0.
Allow me to summarize. You're fucked. I'm here all week...
I thought there were 50 aldermen? 25-10 vote means that 15 aldermen either didn’t vote or show up to the meeting. That’s really incredible that these assholes get paid a nice salary for a part time job and 15 of them couldn’t be bothered for a major vote on the budget. Fucking pathetic!
it was a committee
Brandon keeps talking about taxing the 'working' peoples. Most of them have never worked, aren't working now, and don't plan to work (except maybe working at breeding). If by chance they are working, pay proportionally for the city services used in that 'community'!
perez 050?? why won't papa promote his neighbor momo ?
So, Johnson's plan is to tax the remaining companies? Diminishing business property tax revenue is what led to the homeowners picking up the slack!
Mayor Conehead:
Nobody loves him.
Everybody hates him.
He has to go eat worms.
Tallyafairy was never the real police v
Remind me, I’m kinda old and I just can’t remember. HOW MUCH did taking in all of Joe Biden’s newcomers cost this city? Those hotel bills? Food cost? Paying for everything else? NGOs to service them? I do remember the laundry contract was $22 million. Total cost anyone? And Conehead and FatAzz are still advocating keeping them ALL here?
To little to late, Chicago continues to be destroyed by another goofy mayor.
The CPD is in the worst shape I have ever seen, thanks to the worst bosses that there have ever existed. Sad that we all have to endure this. The public deserves better!
Years ago I went to see the comedian Jackie Mason. He said he wanted to thank the people of Cleveland for emptying the downtown so he could walk around and see things without people in the way. Chicago may not get that bad, plenty of hood rats like to wander the streets, but Democrats are trying hard
Tax the shit out of anyone with over 10 security guards protecting his ass .
No..the ten who voted for this steaming pile of shit budget should have you worried...
Johnson is a very stupid human.
Several people I know working in the private sector have related interesting info. They all work for large companies with a presence in Chicago. Similar stories. They were told by company officials that there is a strong possibility of their offices being relocated out of Chicago. In one case company A is looking at Schaumburg, Company B is looking at the Oak Brooke area. One friend’s company is looking at Milwaukee and Indianapolis.
Johnson is the opposite of the
Pied Piper.
Why in the world would you penalize a person or a corporation for being successful ? It's almost as stupid as charging officers to pay for their own Christmas party. Crazy idiots !
Why do rich people owe them anything? They always make it look as if successful people are the problem.
Yep. You hit the nail on the head. I'm just curious...when is a mayor
if this city going to make a serious effort to cut down on the numbers
of alderpeople we have here? Because we seriously don't need
50 of them.
Come on man! Who on here voted for Conehead? You get what you voted for!
The factions of the feckless are feuding for the prize of fulfilling the fantasy of having your cake and eating it too. And never having to take a poop.
Correlation or Coincidence?
Please move the commanders from Area 2 and Area 1 detective division. I think we have suffered long enough
Who is papa s neighbor?
Hey, fuck you pay me guy. Read the news. That sports betting revenue, help plug pension benefit deficits, gone. The CME just released event based contracts. Takes betting and makes it a derivative contract bypassing the gambling tax. Fuck you in spades.
"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.”
(Ayn Rand, 1957)
"challeng[ing] the ultra-riach and corporations to pay their fair share" Looking at you, Prickster!
But….
But…..
The rich need to pay their fair share.
perez has done his time he deserves it .
That's (D)ifferent.
Desperate people do desperate things. Conehead spent as directed to keep the illegals in hotels and gave out money and debit cards. He spent all the money waiting for a Federal handout. BUT, to his chagrin, Orange Man won. Now, his own pet project, the Teacher's union money demands added to his dilemma. OOOPPSS!
Since the Democrats never solve problems, he uses the tired Libtard motto, Tax the Rich. Fatass has no government money to donate to the city. And if he did, I don't think would. All Fatass cares about is a new jumbo chair in the Oval Office. Nice dream.
Unpaid furloughs coming and elimination of 1,200 police vacancies.
Please move the commanders from Area 2 and Area 1 detective division. I think we have suffered long enough

I’ve worked in both Areas and the Area 1 Detective Commander is terrible to work for. The Area Two Commander hounds us about our investigations and OT.
Do away with exempt’s pension already
Oh stop with Hawkins already
