SAD COMMIE NOISES: Chicago City Council UNANIMOUSLY Rejects Mayor Brandon Johnson's $300M Tax Hike

Posted • November 15, 2024: Sometimes, the Windy City gets it right. Last week, the Chicago City Council called a special meeting to address the proposed $300 million tax hike commie Mayor Brandon Johnson wanted. That's an insane amount of money for a city with terrible schools, high crime, and already high taxes. But it's what commies do best: tax and spend other people's money. Except the City Council, spurred on by residents who opposed the tax hikes, said no. Resoundingly so: Chicago City Council just struck down Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's $300M property tax hike on a unanimous vote: 50-0. Stunning loss for a sitting mayor. Fantastic win for Chicagoans. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GcYFx3SWUAAbptP?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 -- Unanimous. Incredible. All politics is local, and this is an important reminder of that.

Despite himself, Mayor Johnson may keep his promise after all. Here’s a supercut of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson promising voters he would not raise their property taxes. Today he broke that promise under pressure from government unions, including the Chicago Teachers Union, Johnson’s largest donor and former employer. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1851050283280785408/vid/avc1/1280x720/qZmFHFEbB60nHGHY.mp4 -- He promised voters he wouldn't raise their taxes, then tried to raise them by $300 million. Typical politician. -- Some context on how crazy this is. I don’t believe there has been a 0-50 unanimous no vote in Chicago City Council for at least 50 years. Mayor Brandon Johnson is unifying the city in ways we never thought possible. Nice to see people united. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GcYcvoPWQAA9fRg?format=jpg&name=large

Mayor Johnson responds to the unprecedented 50-0 vote against his property tax hike. -- Oh, look. He went to the Kamala Harris School of Public Speaking.
