芝加哥市议会封锁了市长的税收计划, Chicago council blocks mayor’s tax plan, opts for alternative revenue measures amid looming shutdown.

芝加哥市议会否决了Brandon Johnson市长的公司头税提案,通过了订正预算,拒绝了他1.66亿美元的借贷计划以及大公司每月33美元的收费。 The Chicago City Council has defeated Mayor Brandon Johnson’s corporate head tax proposal, passing a revised budget that rejects his $166 million borrowing plan and $33 monthly fee on large firms. 相反,理事会的替代办法是提高垃圾费、短期租金和酒类销售税,并探索视频赌博和债务销售,目的是创造4.09亿美元的新收入。 Instead, the council’s alternative raises garbage fees, taxes short-term rentals and liquor sales, and explores video gambling and debt sales, aiming to generate $409 million in new revenue. 该计划还全额资助2.6亿美元的养恤金付款,并确定效率节余。 The plan also fully funds a $260 million pension payment and identifies efficiency savings. 有27名市议员支持推翻，议会准备挑战市长的财政政策，标志着政府关门即将到来的重大权力转移。 With 27 alderpersons supporting the override, the council is poised to challenge the mayor’s fiscal approach, marking a major power shift as a government shutdown looms.
