What the tax returns of Chicago mayoral candidates show about their money — and which contender refused to release them – Chicago Tribune*

U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García is collecting nearly $70,000 a year in a taxpayer-funded pension while serving in Congress. Mayor Lori Lightfoot took $210,000 out of her retirement accounts to supplement her salary at City Hall — paying a big penalty in the process. And Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson has reported making $2,530 as a “media personality” on WCPT.
