Tax hike
 
Knewz.com is reporting that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has come under heavy scrutiny for the city's significant budget deficit. The roughly $1 billion deficit has reportedly led to opposition among city council members and locals. Residents are resistant to the tax hike due to Chicago’s already high property tax rates, more than double the national average. Past spending on police and infrastructure has fueled skepticism about budget priorities, particularly as Johnson has pushed for a $300 million tax hike.
In this photo gallery, we analyze Johnson's decisions, as well as the backlash.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The good residents should have known it was coming.  To pay for progressive nonsense programs always requires more taxpayer dollars. :yowsa:

It is the only way true leftists act - raise taxes.

Now even more residents will leave that city.

Chicago used to be #2, but has been displaced to #3 and soon #4 as Houston moves past it.
