So, he got a hold of one of those Magical Money Computers that Elon told us about?
Make sure you look behind the pending smoke and mirrors...
And Casper was foolish enough to vote this bozo in.
“progressive revenue” ... tax the air that people breath, presuming that rich people breath more air and giving rebates to po’ people?
Too bad for Mayor Johnson that Geraldo already found that Al Capone’s vault was empty.
Obviously.
I suppose he means soak the rich. Ask Detroit how that worked out.
In fact, I’d say the last two mayors of Chicongo have been equally corrupt and criminalistic as Al Capone.
Maybe he can open government grocery stores and use the profits from those.
Has worked every time it’s been tried, right Brandon?
$300 a pop. Only enforced in wealthier neighborhoods and streets. I have any contractors park at the rear of my property, so they don't see the truck or van. Don't put any cardboard boxes out at the curb. Avoid parking at a Home Depot or Lowes. Use a lot across the street or such because they have cameras set up by code enforcement to capture your tag and then go by your residence of record.
Many of the wealthy in Chicago live in high rise condos with lake views.
Code enforcement is not going to work all that well on them.
Lol.
Taxing the progressives sounds like a good idea to me.
progressive revenue solutions , take everyone’s money ?
From 1965 -2010 there was been a massive migration of middle class and working class whites from America’s urban centers. Now the elites are feeling their safety and well being are being threatened in their remaining enclaves. Since the silicon chip and the technologies it has spawned have made central business locations no longer essential, the economic underpinnings of these urban areas is withering. Bad pronosis for America’ once great cities.
Double Speak for taxation of something. Maybe a tax on breathing air in city boudaries?

In 2022, retirement benefits and debt service accounted for 43 percent of the city’s budget.
Or was it vote fraud?
