'We'll try to lower real estate taxes. The red light cameras is a form of taxes,' Wilson said. 'Head taxes. Things of that nature.'
At age 74, millionaire businessman Willie Wilson could just take it easy and retire. Instead, he's running for mayor of Chicago for a third time, on a platform that includes cutting taxes and backing police."There ain't no way I'm gonna abandon our police officers. Ain't no way," Wilson said.
Wilson also wants to bring back some retired Chicago police officers and raise the retirement age from 63 to 65 if it helps keep people on the force. He would not necessarily replace current Police Supt. David Brown. Wilson said he also believes in police accountability through collaboration. That word – collaboration – applies to how Wilson says he would work with labor unions and other city departments. And Wilson has said, repeatedly, he'd cut taxes.
Wilson has gained attention over the past couple of years for his million-dollar gas giveaways, including some that occurred after he announced he was running for mayor. He dismissed any suggestions of a conflict of interests or the appearance he was trying to buy votes.
