CHICAGO ~ Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago released the City of Chicago Budget Forecast for the upcoming 2024 fiscal year, which projects a budget gap of $538 million and holds the line on not raising the base property tax levy. The Johnson Administration anticipates costs to support the new arrivals mission to increase in 2024, along with anticipated increases in personnel, pension, and contractual costs.
Mayor Johnson acknowledged the complexity of the financial situation inherited by his administration and emphasized his dedication to finding solutions that prioritize the well-being of Chicago's residents while maintaining essential services and programs. He stated that "The projected budget gap paints a realistic picture of our city's financial condition, which will require careful consideration and strategic action."
The mayor's proposed strategy includes a multifaceted approach, encompassing expenditure reviews, revenue enhancement measures, and potential reallocation of resources. While specific details are still under development, Mayor Johnson's administration is focused on minimizing the impact on vital public services, and ensuring that the burden of closing the budget gap is borne as fairly as possible.

Mayor Johnson also expressed optimism about Chicago's ability to overcome financial obstacles while staying true to its core values. He encouraged residents to stay engaged and participate in ongoing discussions about budget priorities.
The Federal Reserve increases to benchmark interest rates have affected local economies across America and negatively impacted revenues. Mayor Johnson has committed himself to fiscal responsibility and sustainable financial management in order to address this budgetary shortfall. His tenure as mayor has been marked by a dedication to open dialogue and engaging with various stakeholders to identify shared solutions including holding four budget roundtable events this summer — one of which focused solely on the voices and concerns of Chicago youth aged 13-24.
In conclusion, Mayor Johnson expressed optimism about Chicago's ability to overcome financial obstacles while staying true to its core values. He said "Chicago is a resilient city with a rich history of facing challenges head-on. We will emerge from this period stronger and more united, continuing our journey towards investing in people, and a better, stronger, safer Chicago."
