Ald. Brendan Reilly (42) posted "So, the Mayor now says he simply 'floated' (he introduced it) a $300 million property tax increase…"
Ald. Raymond Lopez (15) posted "The people's will has spoken, and Mr. Mayor, they say NO to a property tax increase! Although this is a big win for Chicago taxpayers, the fight is far from over. We can continue to expect more smoke-and-mirror budget proposals and gaslighting platitudes, but Chicagoans will see right through them. For residents who voiced their concerns with their respective Alderman, our City thanks you! We have to continue to let this administration know that taxpayers are not a slush fund, and it's time tax dollars get reinvested in Chicagoans."
Ald. William Hall (6) posted "Today we moved FORWARD with drafting an ordinance that puts safety measures in the #hemp industry. NO ID = NO SALE Keeps children safe by banning the sale of delta-8 and similar delta hemp products to people younger than 21. STRICT HEMP BUSINESS LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT Creates a comprehensive licensing system for the hemp industry, including retail, consumption on premises, distribution, and manufacturing. Establishes fines and penalties up to license revocation for failure to follow the law. NEW REVENUE FOR CHICAGO Imposes a tax on hemp products to cover the costs of implementing and enforcing this law. Generates additional revenue for important public priorities."
