AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Chicago Budget: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $17.6 billion 2027 proposal seeks to close an $882 million deficit without property-tax hikes, reviving a corporate head tax. It includes $285 million for Chicago Public Schools, but the district’s finances remain shaky, with $150 million in expected state funding still unconfirmed. Senate Race: Democrat Juliana Stratton and Republican Don Tracy clashed over affordability and President Trump in their sole Illinois U.S. Senate forum. Jobs and Industry: Illinois’ unemployment rate fell to 4.6% in September, while Viakable plans a $55 million electrical-cable manufacturing expansion in the state. State Finances: A new report gives Illinois a failing grade for fiscal health, warning of continued pressure on taxpayers.
