Chicago budget hands $500 monthly to some, higher property taxes to others – Illinois Policy

The budget increases property taxes by $76.5 million, which analysis shows will cost a Chicago homeowner between $180 and $72 per year on average, depending on where they live. The same budget sets aside roughly $32 million from temporary federal COVID-19 relief grants to fund a test of universal basic income, giving $500 a month to 5,000 low-income families for a year.
