How about Kevlar vests for all Chicago residents?

And more funding for police?

They’ll probably use the tax money for climate change and trips to conferences for the Mayor and council.

I remember the Detroit mayor jetting to the Carribean to meet with dozens of other mayors in an urban problems policy conference at a resort and luxury hotel complex.

Memphis New mayor just raised property taxes 28%. As the first thing he did, he said it was the last thing he wanted to do.

Meanwhile it's safer to live in Haiti. Better services too. Free barbecue.

Increasing tax is a natural occurrence for black controlled cities, otherwise Africa would have been a place for tourists.

Tax all those rich black residents and invade their neighborhoods with non-taxpayer illegal migrants. Nothing left to do but keep voting DemoRat. Yes we can!

Chicago, institute all of them.

You know, 16 new taxes will just start to get your tongue wet. You will need even more, if you want to really do something.

Brandon is only mayor because the teachers' union and other unions stuffed ballots in the last mayoral election.

Chicago and Illinois are models for the rest of the country as far as a one-party Dem dictatorship goes. Neither Jabba the Pritzker nor Brandon nor Cook County Board President Preckwinkle are in power through anything resembling free and fair elections.

Have to do it to support all those illegal aliens who came to your sanctuary city. You wanted them, you got them.
