A vote on Chicago’s budget delayed until Monday

The city council will now reconvene on Monday afternoon to vote on the budget. Mayor Johnson adjourned today’s meeting without a vote being taken, after reports the Mayor did not have enough votes to pass the budget. The deadline to approve a budget is December 31st in order to avoid a shut down . The main sticking point is a 68 million dollar property tax hike. The revenue plan already calls for higher parking rates on weekends, increases in the cost of plastic shopping bags, streaming service taxes, and a congestion tax on weekend ride shares.
