Chicago mayor revises head tax, Chicago Flips Red opposes budget

(The Center Square) – Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has revised his corporate head tax proposal, but Republicans say the mayor should not be putting immigrants ahead of citizens.

The mayor revealed his new plan Tuesday after his earlier budget plans drew heavy opposition from aldermen. Johnson said the revised tax would extract resources from Chicago companies with more than 500 employees.
 
“We would raise the rate per month to $33 on roughly 175 companies, which we project would raise roughly $82 million,” Johnson said.

Chicago Budget Director Annette Guzman said the revised budget would no longer provide small business grants.

He, and his fellow democrats, still refuse to acknowledge the immigration issue could destroy them. Of course, Republicans are going to have get off their dead *sses and beat that drum.  Here in Michigan democrats and the MSM have virtually made immigration a non-issue.
