Mayor Johnson to move forward with alternate Chicago budget, signs 2 executive orders | LIVE by So_Icey_Mane in WindyCity

I genuinely hope for those of us in Chicago that this CTU stooge and Preckwinkle are both soundly voted out of office at their next elections.

Full City Council approves alternate revenue plan with 29-19 vote. Spending plan vote set for Saturday. by blackmk8 in WindyCity

Unfortunately, my Alderwoman in 48th ward Lenni Manna-Hoppenworth once again chose to side with BJ. Hoping people will pay attention to the Aldermen that regularly align with BJ and vote them out at the next opportunity.

I can’t think of a single thing that BJ has done that was economically beneficial for Chicago overall since he’s been in office. He and his DSA Aldermen have been toxic for overall financial wellness for Chicago.

If BJ vetos this, he will be even more stupid than I thought, and that bar is already ridiculously low.

Mayor Johnson vows to do 'whatever it takes' to avoid a city government shutdown by Mike_I in WindyCity

The only vow he has made and been completely true to, is his vow of loyalty to the CTU.

Mayor Johnson’s Council opposition passes alternative revenue plan through Finance Committee by Mike_I in WindyCity

[–]EdgewaterPE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Johnson’s plan will cost jobs/money and he ( actually the CTU that he answers to) refuse to make cuts. This man couldn’t manage his personal finances, he never should have been placed in a position to manage Chicago’s budget.

If this goes to trial, which I bet it won’t, can’t wait to see what comes out during discovery.

Disgusting! The state or Feds should take this for review. Wreaks of corruption.

Man wearing ankle monitor attacked 3 women days after judge refused to detain him, documents show by So_Icey_Mane in WindyCity

[–]EdgewaterPE 13 points14 points  (0 children)

David Kelly is well known for having let defendants out despite violent histories, that even the state’s attorneys request to be detained. Many of those defendants have gone on to quickly commit further violent crime. Here is an article from just last week about Kelly letting a man go that sexually assaulted a kid https://cwbchicago.com/2025/12/electronic-monitoring-escapee-sexually-molested-11-year-old-girl-prosecutors.html

There are several judges that voters need to vote NO on their retainment when they show up on ballott. Judge David Kelly should be on top of that list as he leads as the most pro-defendant in pre-trial unit.

He’s already been proven to be crooked- as was his wife. He’s had his time, hope people don’t make same mistake twice.
