Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday took a shot at critics as he proposed new taxes and savings to make up a budget shortfall in his $17 billion proposed municipal budget.

Mayor Brandon Johnson is now proposing hiking Chicago property taxes by $150 million, down from his original $300 million recommendation for 2025 that was unanimously struck down by the City Council last week.

Mayoral aides and some Council members have agreed to cut the proposed increase in half as talks continue. The largest chunk of new revenue — $128 million — will come from raising the personal property lease tax on cloud computing to 11%.
