Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson surrenders budget fight, will not veto opponents’ package – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

A spokesman confirmed to reporters, “The budget will go into effect without his signature. He will not be affirming the budget with his signature.” But in an attempt to block his political foes from having the last word, Johnson also signed a series of executive orders, one aimed at upholding police overtime restrictions undone by aldermen, the other to ban the sale of medical debt, such as ambulance rides, to balance the city’s budget.

So what about the $8 Billion in uncollected over due revenues? What’s Johnsons’ plan for that?

 “ban the sale of medical debt” – this means no-one has to pay their medical bills and will encourage more people not to. Maybe a medical desert is next.
