  • Mayor Brandon Johnson made an eleventh-hour decision to cancel a Friday vote on his 2025 budget plan, the latest setback for the mayor after months of squabbling with aldermen and failing to shore up enough support in the City Council to finalize a $17.

Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago has postponed a crucial vote on the 2025 city budget, originally scheduled for Friday, to avoid a potential defeat. This decision comes amidst significant opposition from the City Council, particularly from the 11 members of the Democratic Socialist Caucus, who have criticized the budget for not adequately addressing their progressive priorities. The budget, which includes a $16.6 billion spending plan, has been contentious due to its proposed tax increases and spending cuts. Johnson, who campaigned on promises of progressive policies, is now facing challenges in aligning his fiscal plans with the expectations of his political allies. The delay aims to allow more time for negotiation and to potentially secure the necessary votes, highlighting the internal political dynamics and the complexities of budget approval in Chicago.
