Chicago City Council starts budget hearings

The Chicago City Council begins their hearings on Mayor Brandon Johnson's 2026 budget proposal Tuesday. The Committee on Budget and Government Operations will meet for the first time in the morning to pick over the proposal. Mayor Johnson's plan doesn't raise property taxes, but it does hit businesses with a new monthly fee which the mayor calls the "community safety surcharge." The fee is $21 per month per employee, a tax for business with more than 100 employee would need to pay. The mayor said approximately 97% of local businesses fitting that profile would be exempted from the tax, and it would apply only to 3% of the largest corporations. The $100 million it would raise would be used for violence prevention, youth jobs, mental and behavioral health services and more. It's likely to be a hot topic of discussion at council. Other revenue generators under consideration include a new $2 per unit cannabinoid hemp tax and a new social media amusement tax which would be levied on large tech companies. #live #news #chicago Subscribe to CBS News Chicago on YouTube:    / cbschicago   Watch CBS News 24/7: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/live CBS News on Pluto TV: https://pluto.tv/us/live-tv/62cdc75b1...
