While presidents, governor honor late civil rights leader Jackson, Chicago’s mayor says tax the rich – Center Square

At the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson, Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke for several minutes before encouraging musical accompaniment. “Black, brown, white, Asian, young, old, it is time for the ultra-rich to pay their fair share in taxes on the other side of the bridge. Reverend, you crossed your bridge. We know our assignment. We see you on the other side,” Johnson said, as music played and the crowd rose to its feet.
