Mayor Johnson’s social media tax generating windfall of revenue amid legal challenge – Chicago Sun-Times

The social media tax was expected to raise $31 million during all of 2026. But the city collected $16.4 million during the first four months alone from the 10 companies to which the levy has applied. At that rate, the first-year take would be $49.2 million, 58.7 percent higher than anticipated.

This shows you the arrogance of this man. He enacted a tax thats totally illegal. Does he have a clue? Obviously not.
