Editorial: Brandon Johnson has a choice in his upcoming budget: Stick it to taxpayers or to city workers. – Chicago Tribune*

"Past mayors and City Councils all share part of the blame. But it is (Mayor Brandon) Johnson who now faces the music. He has complained multiple times about the lot his predecessors left him, but ordinary Chicagoans aren’t patient with such blame-shifting. They elect mayors to run the city and solve problems, not to whine about their misfortune."
