"This has been a lousy stretch for Chicago’s business community. The rocky start of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration has business people deeply worried. The recent departures of household names such as Citadel, Caterpillar and Boeing in the face of concerns about public safety and the city’s post-pandemic vibrancy and health have been deeply unsettling...All the more reason for the progressive political forces in positions of power to pay far greater heed to this region’s business environment than they have to date."

What’s in Your Wallet? Not much with ever increasing property taxes-homeowners and auto insurance. Higher food prices with smaller packaging or shrinkflation-higher auto repairs and new and used cars still very high. Interest rates on mortgages and auto loans real high. Homes values in my area still going nowhere compared to other parts of the country. So not much in my wallet.
P.S. And more taxes in the pipeline.
