Chicago City Council Approves Johnson’s $16.6B Budget Amid Fractious Debate Over Costs to Care for Migrants

The Chicago City Council approved Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $16.6 billion 2023 spending plan on Wednesday after a debate shaped by an intense focus on the amount of money the city expects to spend on housing, feeding and caring for the men, women and children sent to Chicago from the southern border.
The budget, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2024, includes no new taxes, fees or service cuts, making it much easier for alderpeople to back the plan touted by Johnson as a down payment on promises to invest in working-class Chicagoans and start transforming the Chicago Police Department into an agency better prepared to take a new approach to public safety.
The progressive political organizations that fueled Johnson’s come-from-behind victory celebrated the budget as a deposit on pledges to invest in working-class Chicagoans
“We did everything we said I would do,” Johnson said. "I kept my word."
The final vote on the tax levy was 40-9. The budget itself passed 41-8.
