Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, announced Tuesday that the city is facing a historic $1.2 billion budget shortfall for the fiscal year 2021, following what the mayor called a “catastrophic” economic collapse caused by the coronavirus pandemic and by widespread rioting and looting that did an estimated $60 million in physical damage to the city’s downtown and untold damage to its tourism industry.
“Saying Chicago faces ‘a crisis unlike anything we have experienced in our lifetimes,’ Mayor Lori Lightfoot painted a grave financial picture for the city on Monday, detailing a projected $1.2 billion budget shortfall in the 2021 fiscal year,” Chicago’s public broadcasting station, WTTW reported.

these big Democrat-run cities that are in economic trouble are banking on Biden and Pelosi bailing them out...

All democratic mayors will use this fake pandemic to get more money
But yet they blame trump for the pandemic
Surprises me that people do not see the corruption and blatantly lieing

I’m sure there’s from governmental fat that needs trimming... but they won’t .. they’ll just raise taxes even more Driving more of their tax payer base elsewhere

That is your entirely your fault Ms Lightfoot.

Chicago should send out some of their homegrown Budget Operatives and Financial Advisors to neighboring cities to help shore up that shortfall
