Alders rejected Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposal to reinstate Chicago’s corporate head tax to raise roughly $100 million annually. Chicago previously had a head tax from 1973-2014, when then-Mayor Emanuel eliminated it. Now the proposal to reverse course remains one of the biggest hurdles to passing next year’s $16.6 billion budget. We’re discussing the support and opposition in the City Council. Plus, National Guard troops may be leaving Chicagoland, and the area's holiday markets are ready for their comeback.
