Video: Chicago’s budget gap is ‘way bigger’ than city leaders say – FOX32 (Chicago)

Chicago’s City Council says it closed a $1 billion budget gap — but a new report claims the city’s financial hole is actually far deeper. A watchdog group says when you factor in pensions, borrowing, and other obligations, the deficit balloons to $41 billion, or about $43,000 per resident.
