That’s an insane amount of money for a city with terrible schools, high crime, and already high taxes. But it’s what commies do best: tax and spend other people’s money.

Unanimous.
Incredible.
Huge thanks to the hundreds of Chicagoans who contacted their alderman directly through the @illinoispolicy Take Action tool. You made a real difference. https://t.co/XzJROqZ8qN

He promised voters he wouldn’t raise their taxes, then tried to raise them by $300 million.
Typical politician.
Some context on how crazy this is. https://t.co/4hDSFAO3sh
