Killing Christmas

After allowing the unchecked feral non-demonized yutes to wreak havoc across downtown after the Christmas Tree lighting fiasco, Conehead's administration has decided to take more active steps in killing the holiday tax revenue streams that support Chicago:

• City officials surprised vendors at Chicago’s most popular holiday market by imposing new crowd restrictions just hours before it opened Nov. 21.

  Organizers say the Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza will now be limited to 1,553 visitors at a time — less than half the 3,494 people allowed under the COVID-19 capacity rules set in 2021, when social distancing was still in place.

  Organizers say the move has already led to a significant drop in vendor revenue.

  “Every day this goes on is a day too long for all of our vendors, and quite frankly, for all the people standing out in the lines,” said Mark Tompkins, president and CEO of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest.

  The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Seriously, less than half of what was allowed during COVID? Remember, that pretty much accelerated the decline of downtown.

Why would you want tourists coming into town, spending cash during the holidays when you can just raise property taxes....again.
