Chicago mayor: ‘We do not have a spending problem’ as spending, deficit grows – Center Square

“One of the things that it’s clear to note that the working group fully established that we do not have a spending problem in Chicago. We have a revenue challenge in Chicago,” Johnson said. “That’s an important conclusion that I believe was necessary for the people of Chicago to hear." The mayor’s fiscal sustainability working group included union officials and several of Johnson’s allies on the city council.

Correction:

Thousands of City of Chicago employees make $100K or more and work an average of less than eight hours a day on the job. That’s a huge spending problem.
