Johnson is absolutely insane if he thinks those additional taxes would help Chicago's economy. What a fucking joke..I don't know how anyone could justify any of that.

Vallas and his team need to latch on to exactly this nonsense and drive home that point that these new additions would cripple Chicago to the point that there would be a massive exodus out. Great way to push even more people permanently out of the City.
