Following contentious talks surrounding the City of Chicago’s 2025 fiscal year budget two weeks before its filing deadline, the city’s mayor and alderpeople will reevaluate progress made on the revised budget 1 p.m. Monday.

The update comes after Mayor Brandon Johnson – who anticipated not getting enough votes to pass the upcoming fiscal year’s budget during the Friday City Council meeting – confirmed the council will reconvene on Monday. As of Sunday, news outlets reported recent budget revisions no longer including a controversial $68.5 million property tax hike and cuts to city middle-management types of jobs.
