Illinois in Focus Daily | November 18th, 2025 - Chicago committee rejects mayor's proposed tax hikes

Update: 2025-11-18

Description

Greg Bishop shares comments from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after a city council committee rejected a slew of proposed tax increases he says are needed to prevent layoffs in city government. Johnson vowed to veto a budget with a property tax increase, but dodged whether he'd veto a budget that didn't include a head tax on employers.
