There are a lot of pieces to a $16.6 billion budget proposal. Here's a breakdown of the highlights.
Mayor Brandon Johnson unveiled his first budget on Wednesday, a $16.6 billion proposal that he says begins to deliver on his progressive promises while keeping property taxes steady and addressing the burgeoning migrant crisis. Here’s a look at the budget by the numbers. Some plunging revenues outlined in Johnson’s forecast, released this time last month, turned out not as grim as Johnson said they would be.
“We will be intentional in our community safety strategy, deploying not just police officers but the full force of government to our communities because we know true safety requires this approach,” Johnson said. The annual property tax levy is one of the most closely watched items each year. Johnson pledged on the campaign trail, however, to hold the line on such increases. Still, the overall property tax levy is expected to climb by $39.1 million, to $1.
