Mayor Brandon Johnson and his team are reportedly working on a new city budget proposal after postponing Friday’s City Council vote due to lack of support among alders for the mayor’s $17.3 billion budget plan.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Johnson has called off Friday's 2025 city budget vote. Sources told CBS News Chicago Johnson didn't have enough votes to pass the budget. The city needs a budget by the end of the year or it could result in a city shutdown.

Even some members of the mayor's Progressive Caucus, including Alds. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, Jessie Fuentes and Angelo Clay, were refusing to play along by passing a budget balanced with the help of a $68.
