Without @thetriibe.com this budget coverage would be solely in the hands of the corporate media. Strongly encourage everyone in Chicago to watch this entire presser & judge for themselves. Our takeaway is that the Mayor, progressive caucus & organizers are the only responsible adults in the room.
Mayor Brandon Johnson clarified that Chicago already reaches out to people who owe debt and encourages payment.
He said the alternate alder bloc wants to sell that debt to another entity “to use practices that we know, historically, have been detrimental and harmful"

Nearly 99% of the Protecting Chicago budget remains intact, and across the board, there’s commitment to work together in Chicago and Springfield to address shortfalls and fight for better. But what’s in the 1% matters. I’m a no on selling 90mil debt to predatory agencies for 9cents on the dollar.
