The motion passed before a budget vote could be taken. The mayor then adjourned the meeting and hurried out of the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Several aldermen protested the move, and a number of angry residents shouted their opposition to the meeting&rsquo;s abrupt end.<\/p>\n<p>Alderman Anthony Beale stands opposed to Johnson&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/teachers-union-its-ok-that-kids-dont-know-math-they-know-the-words-insurrection-and-coup\/\" title=\"Teachers Union: \u2018It\u2019s OK\u2019 That Kids Don\u2019t Know Math, \u2018They Know The Words Insurrection and Coup\u2019\">property tax hike<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Today, what you saw is a continuation of the circus that&rsquo;s going on here in the city council, especially in the mayor&rsquo;s office. The mayor&rsquo;s not cooperating with us. He&rsquo;s not collaborating with us in order to do the cuts and efficiencies that the budget needs,&rdquo; Beale told The Center Square.<\/p>\n<p>The Ninth Ward alderman said the mayor and his allies just want more spending.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think he&rsquo;s hopefully gotten the message that the people of Chicago are no longer tolerating all this frivolous spending, and they want cuts and efficiencies,&rdquo; Beale said.<\/p>\n<p>Aldermen unanimously rejected the mayor&rsquo;s proposed $300 million dollar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinas-trade-surplus-hits-annual-record-in-2021-saw-double-digit-growth-in-exports-every-month\/\" title=\"China\u2019s Trade Surplus Hits Annual Record in 2021 \u2014 Saw Double-Digit Growth in Exports Every Month\">property tax increase<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of the mayor&rsquo;s most recent proposal showed a property tax increase of nearly $70 million, with annual increases matching the consumer price index. Taxes also would increase on personal property leases for nearly $130 million. Taxes on streaming services would increase nearly $13 million. Taxes would also go up on parking lots and garages, rideshares, and store checkout bags.<\/p>\n<p>After Friday&rsquo;s brief council meeting, Johnson insisted that the city is very close to having a budget.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re gonna keep working, and we&rsquo;re gonna keep collaborating with alders to pass a balanced budget before the end of the year,&rdquo; the mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor referred to himself as &ldquo;collaborator-in-chief&rdquo; and said the budget work would continue over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our team is working hard to work with every single alder as well as other stakeholders, right? It&rsquo;s alders, it&rsquo;s other interest groups, it&rsquo;s labor,&rdquo; Johnson explained.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor said the full council could vote on an amended budget next week, and a new agreement would not have to go back into committee.<\/p>\n<p>If the council does not pass a budget by Dec. 31, the city&rsquo;s bond rating might be affected and some government programs could stop operating.<\/p>\n<p>Beale said people will continue to leave Chicago if <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">things don&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t change.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our budget has grown faster than New York, California, Houston, all of them. We have a spending problem, and we have to get it under control,&rdquo; Beale concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1911935\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1911935\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago budget vote delayed as council and mayor seek consensus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2380078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AP24281635495657.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4463,4387,8641,4602,4474],"class_list":["post-2380077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-budget","tag-chicago","tag-council","tag-mayor","tag-vote"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AP24281635495657.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2380077"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2380081,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380077\/revisions\/2380081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2380078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2380077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2380077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2380077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
