As she prepares to run for re-election next year, Lightfoot did not seek an increase in property taxes in her 2023 budget plan.
, which would have amounted to $42.7 million, or about $34 a year for the owner of a $250,000 home.
Lopez said the mayor's budget plan includes 20% of bloat, thanks to hundreds of vacant positions in the spending plan. He said funding so many positions that will continue to go unfilled essentially amounts to stealing from taxpayers. "You talk to a police officer, and they're waiting until their retirement is ready. They're counting their days," Tunney said."This department is fully funded, undermotivated, and not doing the job to keep the city safe, and I just feel I cannot continue to perpetuate this kind of budget without speaking my mind."
Ald. Sophia King – who, like Lopez, is one of three aldermen running against Lightfoot – said,"I do not think that this budget addresses gun violence in a significant way." "What does that tell you about our city's priorities? While people are dying in record heat waves, while people are seeing their livelihoods destroyed in record floods, we have less people to tackle the issue of the environment than we do to send out press releases," he said.
