Once fully phased in, the new tax would produce an estimated $239 million a year to help reduce the $18.6 billion the city owes the municipal workers' fund

Hey only 78 years to make up the shortfall!

Nice job Rhambo!

I thought, when I saw “typically democrat solution” they must’ve appealed to the Federal Govt and obtained a 30 billion dollar bailout.
Pleased to see that at least they are going to have Chicago residents pay for Chicago boondoggles.

“””The average Chicago homeowner’s water and sewer bill is $114.30, billed every other month, city officials have said.”””

$114.30 billed every other month or $57.15 per month looks pretty cheap to me. I am paying just over $80 per month for water and sewer.

Either Democrats don’t understand the concept of the “death spiral”, or they think if they continue to raise taxes at a slow enough pace they can delay the exodus of the middle class (including the black and hispanic middle class) long enough for the current office holders to retire to Florida.

Yes, right out of the DemocRat play book -— steal, tax, steal, tax, steal, tax....and so on.

Standard solution to all their disasters, incompetence, and crime.

Cities like Chicago and states like Connecticut will go bankrupt. No amount of taxation can reverse the death spiral they’re in. The rest of the country will be forced to bail them out. Precedent will be set — rinse and repeat for the other Democrat strongholds beholden to public unions. If Clinton wins it could get very ugly.

Many there voted in the govt they deserve I guess. People have voted in the same type of evil, liberal govt here in Calif. It’s become a one party state here and we’re circling the drain because of it. All the state legislature seems to do is pass laws to help keep democrats in power.

Oh, I thought maybe he’d sell the white people for slaves. On second thought, that’s kind of what he’s doing.
