Mayor-elect Johnson to address Cook County Board in final meeting as commissioner
Thursday is Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson's last meeting with the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
Johnson plans to address the board about his last appearance, and his colleagues will also address the soon-to-be mayor.A number of voters also plan to be there. A group plans to gather outside the building to urge Johnson not to raise taxes. He has announced he plans to raise $800 million in new taxes that include an increase in hotel taxes, airline jet fuel, financial transactions, a real estate transfer or mansion tax and more.
Some of his proposals will need the Illinois General Assembly to pass them and the worry is more tax hikes could drive out businesses, residents and tourists.Related Topics
