Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker put a big hole in Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson's controversial plan to raise taxes by $800 million.
Several of the levies on Johnson's wish list need approval from Pritzker and the Illinois General Assembly.
By some estimates, the financial sector employs up to 100,000 workers directly and indirectly. Financial giant Citadel, led by billionaire Ken Griffin, recently left Chicago for South Florida. Leaders of the CME Group, for example, have reported setting up computerized trading locations outside Chicago. With the figurative flip of a switch, they could begin executing transactions beyond the reach of City Hall’s tax collectors."The budget plan that I proposed, you know, deals with the structural challenges that the city of Chicago has been facing. And, you know, the reliance on property taxes have left a lot of families in turmoil and despair," said Johnson.
