Everyday Chicagoans can only dream about making these astronomical salaries while @Brandon4Chicago @ChicagosMayor wants to squeeze more from already struggling taxpayers. He also wants more from businesses while their businesses continue to be targeted by criminals, while he remains quiet.

The same people whining about "billionaires buying elections" spent over 15,000,000 trying to buy elections.
The @CTULocal1 isn't a labor union. It's a Super PAC.

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s con game continues into its fourth budget.
If Mayor Johnson’s budget is approved, it means his tax and fee increases in office amount to $1.3 billion while his school board has raised property taxes another $857 million.
The burden imposed by Johnson’s tax and fee increases are not on rich corporations, billionaires and millionaires as he claims. It falls on city residents, regardless of income, and on city businesses of all sizes regardless of their income or profits.
Even his so-called progressive spending agenda side is a shell game.
Despite all his big promises, the Mayor has only reopened 3 mental health centers, built only 500 affordable housing units, has barely returned the summer jobs program to pre-COVID levels and his vaunted mental health initiatives has seen a 70% drop in the number of responses.
The Mayor’s big con game continues!

About two DOZEN businesses were burglarized in an overnight spree across the North Side.
Restaurants near Clark and Fullerton were especially hard hit.

And as always, there will be no comment or accountability from our "illustrious" Mayor on Lasalle Street. #Chicago

Despicable and true lack of common sense.
A convenience store clerk with a concealed carry license shot a customer during a dispute over 47¢, prosecutors say.
The victim’s four children, all younger than 13, were watching from outside the store.

The Candlelight Vigil is a heartfelt tribute to the 608 fallen Chicago Police Department officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. This year, we continued to honor the memory of our fallen officers and their families, who carry on their legacies.
Sounds just like your puppet in City Hall. The #CTULocal1, the most corrupt organization that will do whatever it takes to bankrupt Chicago.
Chicago's working families deserve a city budget that invests in our schools, neighborhoods, and communities.
As corporations like Amazon rake in billions, Chicagoans continue to face rising costs and underfunded public services. It's time for corporations to pay their fair share.
We're standing in solidarity with thePeople's Unity Platformas they call on city leaders to put working people and our communities first in next year's budget.

The same way your administration squandered money with your failed initiative with @SaveALot in the "urban" areas of Chicago?
You failed #Brandon4Chicago...it's ok to go admit it.
Access to healthy, affordable food should never depend on your income or your zip code. Our Market City strategy will make fresh and nutritious food more accessible for communities across @Chicago while strengthening neighborhood farmer's markets and creating more opportunities for local entrepreneurs to grow and succeed. @ugrowcollective @FoodDepository @PPS_Placemaking

More than 2 years after the mayor shut down ShotSpotter, Chicago still has no replacement.
Last night, a pregnant woman struggled for 3 minutes to tell 911 she’d been shot on a block once covered by the system.

Must be election year!
After delaying his promised replacement of ShotSpotter that was conveniently ended right after the 2024 Democratic Convention, Mayor Johnson’s is going to test a new gun shot detection system in six neighborhoods previously served by ShotSpotter.
Too late for at least 94 gunshot victims who had no 911 calls made or delayed calls that hindered a timely emergency response. At least 57 or 60% of died. This is three times the fatality rate of other gunshot victims across the city time.
The Mayor and supporters called ShotSpotter racist despite the fact that over 80% of the over 100 lives ShotSpotter is estimated to have saved and the 57 lives lost when the Mayor discontinued ShotSpotter were 80% Black.
Mayor Johnson’s elimination of ShotSpotter cost Black lives!
The only investment your incompetent administration is making is more job killing taxes, pro criminal policies and giving away Chicago to your cronies at the #CTULocal1.
You have done nothing for Chicago #ChicagosMayor except make it worse by the day with your lies and incompetence. #Chicago
My administration is investing in businesses that create second chances, bring jobs and manufacturing back to our neighborhoods, and give more Chicagoans the opportunity to become business owners. CrossTreats embodies the kind of economic development we want to support in @Chicago, where workers have a stake in the success they create and an opportunity to build lasting wealth for their families. @ChicagoDPD

A Blue Line robbery suspect, AWOL from another CTA attack case and wanted in 3 counties, is finally in custody.
Chicago cops caught him after CTA passengers complained because he was smoking crack on the train.
Yes, he was on electronic monitoring.

What do you expect from this clown show of an administration? #Chicago
Two years after the Mayor pulled the plug on ShotSpotter, aldermen were ready to pounce on one of his top aides yesterday.
She no-showed and sent a letter instead, saying the city would launch a “pilot program” that includes “gunshot detection systems.

Dear @ChicagosMayor #Brandon4Chicago,
It is interesting that your administration continues to appear more concerned with advancing the agenda of your Puppet Master, Stacy Davis Gates and the Chicago Teachers Union than with protecting the financial future of the city you were elected to lead.
You seem very determined to push Chicago further down a path of financial instability with your continued support for a so-called “Corporate Head Tax,” arguing that corporations need to “pay their fair share.”
I have a few questions for you.
Did you apply that same principle of accountability to your own financial obligations before becoming mayor? Why did it take extensive news coverage for you to address your reported outstanding debts to the city? Shouldn’t accountability begin with the people demanding it from others?
And let’s talk about public safety and the resources devoted to protecting you.
You have over 150 Chicago Police Officers at your fingertips for you and your family's safety and security.
At a time when residents are seeing longer response times for officers due to the @Chicago_Police districts constantly being understaffed and constant back logs of calls for service.
Chicagoans deserve transparency about the resources devoted to protecting you and your family while regular citizens can't even ride the @cta without fear of being the victim of a violent crime.
How much does your security detail cost taxpayers, and is that level of protection justified? Are you paying your share or are the taxpayers paying it for you?
Chicago residents deserve answers.
Now, your administration is advancing discussions about a potential “cloud tax,” adding yet another concern for businesses already evaluating the cost of operating in Chicago.
At what point do you recognize that continually pursuing new taxes could discourage investment, drive businesses to neighboring communities, threaten jobs, and further weaken the city’s tax base?
Chicago needs responsible fiscal management, not an endless search for new revenue without a clear, measurable plan to control spending.
And what about the money already spent?
Your administration’s handling of illegal migrants had the city spending over 650 million dollars including the reported lease of a potentially contaminated property intended for illegal migrant housing that was ultimately abandoned, raises serious questions about vetting, contracting, and the responsible use of public funds. But the city continues paying for a property that is no longer being used for its intended purpose, good money for the owner of the property.
Chicago taxpayers and Businesses are not an unlimited source of revenue at your expense.
Effective leadership which you lack, means making difficult decisions, prioritizing essential services, protecting public safety, and ensuring that every public dollar is spent responsibly. It does not mean continually asking taxpayers and businesses to cover the consequences of questionable decisions.
Mayor Johnson, all of Chicago deserves more than political rhetoric and another proposed tax spearheaded by your bosses at the @ctu. Chicago deserves transparency, accountability, fiscal discipline, and leadership that puts the interests of all Chicago residents and Businesses ahead of political alliances.
The question is simple: When will Chicago’s taxpayers see the same level of accountability from City Hall that City Hall demands from them?
Get your head out the clouds and out the pockets of already struggling residents and businesses alike.

Play it again, Brandon.
As details begin to seep out, Mayor Johnson’s budget is revealed to be a rehash of his 2026 budget.
Johnson will once again try to convince us he is taxing “big corporations” and “protecting working families,” but his budget like the last does neither.
Here are some immutable truths about the 2027 budget:
• The proposed jobs killing $25 per-employee head tax is laid on large businesses even if the company does not record a profit.
• The already nation leading transaction tax will rise to 20% to the cost to any business or individual who accesses computer services.
• Johnson will add another $285 million in property taxes from TIF’s to the $300 million increase in property taxes already approved by his controlled school board.
• Despite Johnson’s “tax-the-rich” rhetoric, Chicago residents could face several other new fees and taxes if the mayor’s budget is passed.
None of what the mayor is proposing will require billionaires and millionaires to pay their “fair share.”
