CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Brandon Johnson called off Friday’s 2025 city budget vote, after his revised spending plan relying on a property tax hike and other increased fines and fees without significant spending cuts faced certain defeat.
After the meeting, Johnson acknowledged he does not yet have the votes to pass his $17.3 billion spending plan.
It was another chaotic day at City Hall as shouts erupted in the City Council chamber when the meeting was brought to an end after about 20 minutes, and recessed until Monday afternoon, before any action was taken on either the budget or other routine legislative items on the agenda.
At least one person in the City Council gallery was handcuffed and escorted out as they shouted over the Council’s vote to end the meeting and return on Monday.
