Conehead "Finds" More Money

A couple of days ago, we noted that Conehead was scraping up $50 million to buy the old Greyhound bus station.

 Now we find out he's stumbled into another $46.2 million for "neighborhood fix-ups:"

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson kicked off Friday by touting a fresh $46.2 million in federal cash for 40 neighborhood projects across Chicago, covering everything from park upgrades to lead-service-line replacement. He is pitching the haul as targeted spending on public safety, housing and basic city services that will touch schools, transit hubs and shelter sites, all while City Hall keeps working on a broader infrastructure and budget agenda for 2026.

But the most pressing issue that needs "fixing up" would be the Pension Fund that he shorted 50% of the required payment.
