Angry Chicago residents blasted Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposed $300 million property tax hike as a way to cover costs of dealing with migrants that have flooded the city over the past year.

A heated city council meeting culminated in a unanimous rejection of the plan after locals expressed their fury in vicious outbursts at the mayor in .

The furious residents accused Johnson, who has been branded the country's 'most hated mayor,' of prioritizing undocumented immigrants over the city's own citizens and resent paying more in property taxes.

Joe Biden is an excellent example of what happens when people vote Democrat

I thought this was going to be about Mayor Tiffany Henyard?

I hope Attorney General Gaetz' Justice Dept is up for the task because there's a WHOLE BUNCH of crooked officials he needs to pay visits to.

And, yeah, Brandon Johnson is another one as well.

It’s interesting. Last year, 2023, both Chicago and L.A. had mayoral races... in which standard-issue, left-leaning, black machine politician faced off against a centrist white person running on a reformist, tough-on-crime agenda. And in both cities, voters rejected reform, essentially saying, “No thanks. More of the same please.” It was certainly hard for me to wrap my head around that that at time, thinking, “Who looks around Chicago or L.A. and is happy with the status quo and votes for it again?”

What a difference a year makes. This time is was San Francisco with standard-issue, left-leaning, black machine politician facing off against a centrist white person running on a reformist, tough-on-crime agenda. And guess what? Opposite out this time. And leftist D.A. George Gascon was booted from L.A. for good measure. The tide has turned.

Y’all should have voted for Trump. The things you complain about are exactly what he campaigned on and worked to solve when he was in office last time.

“Who looks around Chicago or L.A. and is happy with the status quo and votes for it again?”

It’s true that there are enough brain-dead voters in Chicago to put a bozo like Johnson in office, but fundamentally he’s there because he’s a stooge for the Chicago Teachers Union: the CTU, not content in destroying the city’s public school system (which hasn’t been worth anything for half a century as it is) has now decided it’s just fine to take down the entire city in order to get exorbitant wages and cushy pensions.

Is it a Sanctuary City?

Rather then raise taxes perhaps they should help in deporting the invaders.

Somewhat. A bit. A lot of tide left out there.

Elections do have consequences. Don’t vote while drunk or on drugs.

It’s interesting that Trump supporters are proudly wearing MAGA hats in deep blue cities. During Trump’s first term, wearing Trump gear was an invitation to a beat down. The left successfully smeared MAGA as racists. I guess being Nazis isn’t as bad.

They voted for that B@stard. Suck it up buttercups. I don’t have much sympathy for blacks voting for someone because of skin color.

Maybe those elections need to be examined.
