Watch Live: Chicago budget proposal goes before budget committee | CBS News Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Mayor Brandon Johnson's revised 2025 budget plan narrowly cleared its first hurdle Tuesday morning, as a key committee backed a $234 million package of increased taxes, fines and fees, including a $68.5 million property tax hike. The City Council Finance voted 14-12 to approve the laundry list of increased taxes, fines and fees on Tuesday as the mayor seeks to get a final budget deal in place by the end of the week. The mayor needs 26 votes for his budget plan to pass the full council. The mayor's budget team has spent more than three weeks revising his budget plan for 2025 after the City Council unanimously rejected his original plan for a $300 million property tax hike last month. Johnson has taken his $300 million property tax hike pitch down to $68.5 million—but some aldermen say this is still too high. Essentially, the mayor wants no job cuts and a property tax hike. Many alderpeople said deeper cuts are needed to city department budgets before any tax hikes should get the green light. -------------------- CBS 2 News Chicago brings you breaking news, weather, compelling exclusive content and award-winning investigative reports from the CBS 2 Investigators.
