Several alderpeople were skeptical that the $150 million proposed to fund the migrant crisis in 2024 will be enough to cover the cost of shelter and other services for the entire year as they repeatedly asked budget officials why they’re relying on the state and federal governments to chip in additional migrant funding when neither seems likely. 

Mutiple alderpeople also renewed their yearslong push to add an additional staffer to their ward offices as constituents are expecting more of those offices.
