...is worse than the old mayor:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11950187/Chicagos-new-liberal-mayor-blames-spiraling-violent-crime-BUSINESSES.html"Brandon Johnson, a former union organizer who was elected on Tuesday, said the city doesn't have money to solve its problem because '70 percent of large corporations in the state of Illinois don't pay a corporate tax'."
'It's that type of restraint on our budget that has caused the type if disinvestment that has led to poverty, of course that has led to violence,' said Johnson, who didn't give the source for his claim.
The 47-year-old Cook County commissioner beat candidate Paul Vallas, 69, who had the backing of Chicago's police union, by around 13,000 votes. Johnson will replace ousted mayor Lori Lightfoot, who fell out of favor after crime surged under her.
Top of Johnson's agenda will be reversing the city's spiraling crime rate and dealing with out-of-control homelessness that's transformed part of O'Hare International Airport into a grubby makeshift shelter."
