Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson Faces Demands and Challenges on First Day in Office.

The Fulton Market Association, a group of restaurant owners, business and community leaders in Chicago's Near West Side neighborhood, has issued demands to new Mayor Brandon Johnson, including opposing any new or increased taxes until the tax increment finance system is reformed, and demanding 5,000 more surveillance cameras to stop violent crime. They also want to spend federal and state infrastructure funds on several transportation projects, including restoring the CTA's Lake Street bus and fixing the "Lake Street death trap." The group notes that $1.3 billion sits in the "top 10 TIF's alone," and that TIF money should be used to put up cameras in high-crime areas.
