Aldermen have a message for the mayor
TGIF, Illinois. Life without email wasn’t so bad… But seriously, if I didn’t respond to you, it’s because of the global outage. TOP TALKER FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: A group of Chicago aldermen is about to remind Mayor Brandon Johnson that voters had more than one thing to say last week. Making a shift: The Chicago City Council Budget Accountability Coalition, a group of aldermen who have been pushing back on the mayor's budgets, wants to act on both of the advisory questions that Chicago voters overwhelmingly supported last week, even though the two measures don’t necessarily fit into the mayor’s political playbook. The two measures: One calls for bringing back the ShotSpotter gunshot detection policy, which the mayor had previously rejected but voters overwhelmingly support. And the other is a millionaire’s tax, which the mayor supports and voters like, too. The coalition is expected to announce their plans today to call for votes on both measures at next week's City Council meeting. Johnson has leaned heavily on the millionaire-tax vote as he makes the case for raising revenue from wealthy residents and businesses to balance the city's next budget. But he's been on the other side of the ShotSpotter debate.
