Episode: Council Rejects Tax Plan, National Guard Leaving, and Holiday Market Season
Description: Alders rejected Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposal to reinstate Chicago’s corporate head tax to raise roughly $100 million annually. Chicago previously had a head tax from 1973-2014, when then-Mayor Emanuel eliminated it.
