Editorial: Mr. Mayor, proposing new taxes is your job, not the work of some subcommittee – Chicago Tribune*

"In a session with journalists Friday to discuss his proposed budget, (Mayor Brandon) Johnson was asked repeatedly about the status of his many plans, from restoring mental health clinics to instituting a permanent guaranteed-income program for lower-income residents. The answer came back repeatedly: That’s the job of the subcommittee on revenue. This panel 'will be essential to budgets to come,' he said."
