Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson discusses the passage of his budget following Chicago City Council for a vote.
The more-than $16-billion fiscal plan does not call for a property tax increase and does include money for the migrant crisis.
It also adds positions to the police department, including new detectives and civilian staff. There’s a projected $538-million shortfall in the budget.
