City officials would have an additional $87 million to spend on a host of programs, but the Chicago City Council used those funds to balance the city’s 2025 budget and avert a property tax hike. That means the City Council reduced the amount of federal money available to the city to fuel a wide variety of social service programs until the end of 2026 by nearly 38 percent to balance the city’s budget without a single sentence of debate about what those cuts will mean for Chicagoans who have yet to regain the ground they started to lose five years ago.

No mention here of the permanent explosion in the city, county, and state budgets for permanent programs and increased government payroll funded by temporary federal money. No mention of the pension debt and budget deficits that will be exponentially exacerbated by such decisions.
