@ChicagoMPO "Mayor Brandon Johnson (@ChicagosMayor): Our budget proposal asks large corporations and the ultra-wealthy to chip in more so that working families are not burdened with higher property taxes or grocery taxes or garbage fees. This year its likely that the most recent assessment raises property values and the taxes that go along with it. And thats why as promised my budget proposal includes NO property tax increase"
