About this listen

In this episode, Fran Spielman hosts David Gresing, CEO of the Better Government Association, to discuss the intense budget conflict in Chicago between Mayor Brandon Johnson and a renegade group of conservative and moderate aldermen. The debate centers around Johnson's push for a corporate head tax and the alternative budget that seeks efficiencies and cost cuts. The discussion covers the implications for Chicago's bond rating, the potential financial and political fallout, and Johnson's strategy leading up to his re-election campaign.
