"Chicago Mayor Faces Backlash Over Migrant Funding and Affordable Housing Plan Delays"

Black Chicago residents expressed outrage at Mayor Brandon Johnson's request for an additional $70 million in taxpayer funds to address the city's migrant crisis, while a recall petition gains momentum. Critics argue that the money should be used to address local needs instead. The progressive mayor's handling of the migrant crisis and crime has led to frustration among residents, prompting a recall effort. The petition drive needs to collect 56,464 valid signatures by August 5 for the question to go on the ballot in November.
