Civic Federation President Calls Mayor Lightfoot’s $16.7 Billion Budget Plan ‘Good News,’ But Some Aldermen Aren’t Sold On Specifics – ABC7 (Chicago)

“So how are we going to go forward after the federal relief money is a question that many people will look at the budget will have,” Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, said. That will be the task of the city’s 50 aldermen – to comb through the 600-page budget proposal and figure out what makes fiscal sense and what does not, what they like and what they don’t, and if any of the new programs are sustainable once those federal dollars disappear.
