    Freshman Alderman Releases His Own Budget Proposals

    17th Ward Ald. David Moore released some suggestions of his own Monday, calling for revenue generating reforms and an “equitable sharing of the pain.” His recommendations include an increased transaction tax targeting luxury real estate, a $2.50 per stay hotel surcharge, and an increased fee on concessions at O’Hare, Midway, and Navy Pier.

    “Ultimately, our goal should be to work more responsibly with the funds we do have by creating efficiencies and more accountability in how money is spent,” Moore said in a press release, “We also have to raise revenue, but not solely on the backs of our constituents who also are trying to navigate these trying economic times.” He is a former accountant.
