WATCH: Woman Calls Chicago Mayor a N****
Chicago resident Vashon Tuncle highlights how the migrant crisis is impacting the Windy City and exchanges remarks with incoming ‘border czar’ Tom Homan! Chicago resident says city ‘needs’ Tom Homan: ‘This place sucks right now!’ This woman called on Tom Homan to “make an example” out of “this ne***,” Mayor Brandon Johnson. These city council meetings are not a lot of for him, are they? Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed budget passed the City Council on Monday, but only by an extremely narrow margin. The final vote came in at 27-23 in favor of the proposal, capping off months of vigorous debate, fierce criticism and a series of proposals that finally yielded results just two weeks before the end of the year. Johnson’s original budget proposal called for a property tax hike of approximately $300 million, but that eventually was removed from the budget entirely as part of the negotiations to arrive at a solution. The newest budget included spending reductions and adjustments to city staffing, while also including a $40 million short-term loan that was blasted by the mayor’s critics, who had called for more decisive action to prevent future issues with the proposal. According to the budget, the city will trim 10 positions from Johnson’s office, and will reduce staffing in middle management roles. Other moves to “improve efficiency” in security and energy spending were also included in the proposal. The budget also included plans to add millions in additional revenues via upping taxes on personal property leases,…

Chicago removes largest homeless encampment, relocates tent residents into apartments and shelters: report
Chicago officials reportedly cleared the largest homeless encampment in the city after relocating some residents into apartments and shelter beds.

The effort has been a priority for Ald. Jessie Fuentes of the 26th Ward. He explained further to the Times that “the city had moved 39 residents into apartments and was working on apartments for 24 others.” CHICAGO ALDERMAN SOUNDS ALARM ON MIGRANT SURGE AHEAD OF DNC: ‘WE CAN’T HANDLE ANY MORE’ “The encampment was more than three times bigger than the next largest Chicago tent city, according to a city count obtained by the Sun-Times through a request under Illinois’ open-records law,” the outlet reported.

New Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke vows to lower ‘war zone numbers’ of Chicago violence
The county’s new top prosecutor highlighted Illinois’ assault weapons ban as a key tool in tamping down the violence she says has “overshadowed” the region. Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke vowed Monday to crack down on gun criminals as she takes the reins as the top law enforcement official in a county she says is “being overshadowed by crime.” “We have unparalleled opportunities here. We have world-class universities, we have infrastructure. We even have a fresh water supply,” O’Neill Burke said after a ceremonial swearing-in as the county’s top prosecutor before hundreds of supporters at the Ivy Room in River North. “We are primed to boom, but we are being overshadowed by crime right now,” she said. “While our crime rates are beginning to come down, the progress is not sufficient, particularly when it comes to gun violence.” Read More Here!

How Mayor Brandon Johnson Lost Control of the Debate Over Chicago’s 2025 Budget
The first sign that Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposal to spend $17.3 billion in 2025 was dead on arrival came just minutes after he finished telling the Chicago City Council the only way to balance the city’s budget was to hike property taxes by $300 million. Despite being one of Johnson’s closest allies, Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez (25th Ward) wasted no time telling reporters that he would not even consider voting for the largest property tax hike since 2016. Pilsen residents struggling to keep their homes amid a wave of gentrification could not afford the increase, Sigcho Lopez said. The fact that Sigcho Lopez, Johnson’s hand-picked Housing Committee chair who has voted in lockstep with the mayor, dismissed the budget proposal out of hand sent shockwaves through the City Council, frustrating Johnson’s allies while emboldening his critics.
