Mayor Johnson’s savings plan questioned, Little Village chaos and shutdown showdown

from The Chicago Report · host Fox 32 Chicago

On this episode of "The Chicago Report," host Paris Schutz dives into questions surrounding Mayor Brandon Johnson’s savings plan. The mayor spent $3.2 million on an outside firm to identify potential cuts and efficiencies, but only $80 million of those recommendations made it into his new budget — and aldermen want answers. The show also covers the end of the government shutdown showdown, continued chaos in Little Village after raids and arrests tied to Border Patrol, and why Fulton Market, once booming with construction, is now seeing fewer buildings go up.
