Conehead Lied Again
Or his budget people did, basing vast expanses of the Chicago budget on pure fantasy:
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is laying the groundwork for a budget proposal that could rely heavily on new taxes on corporations and wealthy residents as the city confronts an $880 million budget shortfall.
Speaking about his priorities ahead of the release of his proposed budget, Johnson framed the upcoming debate as a fight over protecting city services while criticizing corporate interests and those calling for spending cuts before tax increases.
Sure, because making your first move "increase taxes" on corporations that are showing a distinct willingness to moving out rather than pay for Chicago unwillingness to spend money responsibly is a fantastic idea.
His comments come as tensions build between the mayor and a group of 29 City Council members who recently sent him a letter urging the administration to pursue spending cuts and efficiencies before seeking additional tax revenue. That group has taken a hard line against a possible corporate head tax.
Ald. Samantha Nugent of the 39th Ward said the city should focus first on reducing costs and addressing debt. "You know what we've heard time and time again is before we look to taxes, which is always where this administration goes, we have to look at the efficiencies that have been identified, and and we do have to look at debt," Nugent said.
Gee, an aldercreature wanting to look at efficiencies and spending practices? She must be high on something.
This is typical:
City Comptroller Michael Belsky said the city is using a data-driven strategy that targets people considered most able to pay.
"With employees we're looking at people with the highest salaries, highest amount of debt, that improves our collections. If it's people with vehicles in zip codes where they can afford to pay, we're gonna take them all the way through to judgement," Belsky said.
Not the people who aren't following the rules - the ones who can "afford to pay." Which are also the people who can afford to shop elsewhere - or leave town.
Democrats are idiots - vote for more!

So if you work and are successful we are coming after you. Isn’t this what Communism is. Take from the “have's”and give it to the “have nots” for their votes.
Sounds discriminatory?
Is that red lining?
Nope just an elected Boob
A Democrat who has no clue and has a single loyalty to
the teachers union.
Denocrats are to blame
Has any judge ever failed to get re-elected? I can't remember.
Conehead is a shit head and shit heads lie constantly. Thats just what they do, so it’s not surprising that this boneheaded shit head is spinning a tale.
What about the neighbors? That's why we got rid of shot spotter.
maybe start collecting fees and penalties from all the people who don't buy a city sticker, never buy a city sticker and register their cars in a suburb?
Solution to 880 million deficit simply stop spending money on illegal aliens period. problem solved. and more money saved lose the "violence interupters"
the dems do not look at them as illegal just future votes
You are looking at people with the highest salaries don’t forget to look at WALLER
The Comptroller sounds like he is in favor of violating the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
Yes, but when they do, the losers usually get reappointed as associate judges.
Yes
This is the consequence of "Fundamental Change"
"
"With employees we're looking at people with the highest salaries, highest amount of debt, that improves our collections." -- Most likely city employees and consultants...
That would upset his voting base
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
I knew some police officers that did that...
I cant wait to see if the real chicago voters are sick enough of a dumbass mayor and actualy votes to do something about it. It will be a first.
That thought process is why I left over 10 years ago. Stop being suckers people, get out.
Save money get rid of 25 Alderman!!
Make out a case report for Theft. That’s basically all it is.
Wallace “Gator” Bradley claims he’s owed the money for thousands of hours he says he spent working as an “urban translator” and helping to free Mark Maxson. Bradley is representing himself
Does anyone even know how many interpreters there are and are they all DEI.
"With employees we're looking at people with the highest salaries, highest amount of debt, that improves our collections.
Sounds like something out of a mafia movie...
So, what. They are required to do so.
true dat
Eliminate deputy mayors and aldermen from the payroll
Target the ones who can "afford to pay." Not the ones who owe it, just the ones who are the ripest for theft. Socialism in a nutshell.
This dumb, stupid, incompetent ass moron is turning Chicago into the new Detroit ! His clueless, ignorant ass is running corporations, and wealth, not only out of Chicago, but Illinois as well ! Vote Red,Red,Red !
That's apropos of nothing.
Chicago spent $639 Million on illegal aliens during Conehead's first 18 months in office, according to Chicago's own Inspector General David Glockner. It's public. Search it. What should be an obvious FIRST step to resolving Chicago's budget shortfall immediately screams out to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.
Why are they looking at "employees" should everyone be in debt collection if they are a city employee or work for a sister agency?
After seeing Mamdani in NYC gain traction BJ is looking to up his game and push an even more progressive agenda during this election. Things will get worse before they get worser.
It's exceptionally rare. I can recall maybe 2 cases in my life, and that was after concerted campaigns to push a 'No' vote on that individual specifically. And never ended their legal career - when things quieted down they were appointed Judge elsewhere in the system.
on the news last night the city of chicago plans on using every resource available to Collect UNPAID Parking tickets from People that LIVE in ZIP cODES that can AFFORD to PAY the FINES. what the F is that mean? If you work? start with CPS,CPD,CFD and all city county ,state employees that have outstanding parking tickets , water or city vehicle license fee past due.
OT: But Momma boy Otis Wilson, who played in nfl for a minute, a real ugly fool shitbird. 70 yr old drunk fool goes to a bears game and punches out a little security guard.was there and saw the whole incident. Retired CPD. Gave my witness statement and told thank you. That girl should sue the hell out of Otis, the Bears and nfl. Will be glad to be your witness. And yes. I was sober with my daughter. What a shitshow!!
I do it. I’m a cop
Speaking of liars. Is James Talarico going into hiding?

Ive been on the job for 26 years. My car is registered to my house in WI. I’ve never once bought a Chicago city sticker. Ain’t shit that a cowardly inspector can do about it.
Everyone at my firehouse refuses to buy city stickers
I’m a CPS Teacher. What’s a “city sticker”. Real question .
If you can’t figure out a way to avoid having to buy a city sticker, you deserve what you get.
🤣 city sticker?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Shemaus mannion doesn’t have to buy one. Why should I?
Duty, honor, country. That’s why you need to buy a city sticker.
I’m the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy
Ok dork.
Go straight to CFD parking lots and look for these perpetual violators
SecWar Pete Hegseth just announced the firing squad execution of Fort Hood Islamist terrorist Nidal Hasan will be **PUBLIC**

Piss off turd! They have to!
Free Mark Maxson?
The 3rd Watch Lt is in jail?
Wow!
Shortshanks, 9 1/2 digit midget, Groot and Conehead signed my paycheck for work I preformed.
Do they deserve applause or some shit?
I, and others have no loyalty to them.
At any given chance, I shop and get gas in the (thankfully nearby) suburbs. I try and give as little of my money to the City as possible.
The family and I will eat at a nice restaurant in the suburbs.
My City experience is basically to and from work.
I give the City my 8 1/2.
They owe me for 8 1/2.
Anything more, and it’s time and a half.
The day I retire is the day I leave here for good.
Fuck this place
Fuck half the people in this city.
All executions should be by "firing squad" from now on and public!
Bullets are cheaper than "lethal chemicals" and a sure thing unlike what happened in TN.!
Like any of us are beholden to them because they signed our paycheck.
Fuck the democrats
Not good idea dipshyt. Whiskey Pete is not the sharpest tool in the box. We should have moral standards and never sink that low.
Rope is cheap, Gravity is free.
yes, he said city of chicago will use every resource available to collect past due parking fines from people that live in zip codes that can afford to pay. I remember city using zip codes to give the jab ,covid shot, to people of color. it could be deadly .
but I remember all those sgt's and Lt's telling me they are not gonna pay me if I work too much overtime
belsky was mayor of Highland Park for a while... bastion of white guilters... all kinds of bullshit taxes and regulations which wrecked the town...
he's a fucking snake
At least Mamdani can form a coherent sentence
