Chicago is already on the ropes, this is potentially shaping up to be a knockout punch..

As @ChicagosMayor stares down a yawning $1B deficit, consider these matters:

Illegals will likely get $150M just to start the year.

Johnson paid $187M in non-teacher pension payments obligated by CPS in '24. He will do it again.

Closing the gap will require an Emanuel-esque…
