Mayor Emanuel's 2018 Budget

GOOD POINT, WADE DID GO TO AND
THE THIRD A FEW DAYS AGO.>
BIGGER PHONE GILLS -- BIGGER
PHONE BILLS, MORE EXPENSIVE
THEATER TICKETS.
THE POLITICAL REPORTER HAS A
PREVIEW. THE MAYOR VISITED
THE INGLEWOOD POLICE DISTRICT
TO SHINE LIGHT ON INCREASED
RESOURCES AND INCREASED
RESULTS.
130 FEWER INGLEWOOD SHOOTINGS
LAST YEAR. THE LAST EIGHT
DAYS NOT A SINGLE SHOOTING.
NEXT YEAR THE MAYOR SPENDING
EVEN MORE ON SAFETY.
$27 MILLION ON CPD POLICE
REFORM FOR TRAINING AND
COMMUNITY POLICING.
$5 MILLION ON NEW HIRING AND
WHEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ON
POLICE OVERTIME AT $20 MILLION
FROM THIS YEAR.
WITH HEIGHTENED OVERSIGHT OVER
REVELATIONS OF ABUSE. WE ARE
MONITORING OUR OVERTIME.
WE ARE PUTTING IN SWIPING IN
THE NEXT MONTH. ANOTHER
SAFETY ITEM, $80 MILLION FOR
SCHOOL SECURITY MONTH THAT CPS
WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND. THIS
WILL FREE UP MONEY FOR CPS TO
PUT INTO THE CLASSROOM. SOME
TAXES AND FEES WILL GO UP.
A 9% AMUSEMENT TAX.
THAT WILL RAISE $16 MILLION.
AND A BOOST TO THE 911 TAX FROM
$3.90 TO FIVE DOLLARS A
MONTH. WE SEE LESS NICKEL
AND DIME AIMED BECAUSE SOME OF
-- SO MUCH OF THE REVENUE
NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE PENSION
IS COMING IN THROUGH THE
PROPERTY TAX INCREASES. ON
THE ISSUE PUBLIC SAFETY THE
MAYOR ANOINTED -- THE MAYOR
NOTED NEW POLICE OFFICERS HIT
THE STREETS EVERY DAY AND 100
AND OFFICERS BEING SWORN IN
BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL.
SPENDING ON SAFETY, PRIMARY ON
THE BUDGET. THESE ARE MODEST
COMPARED TO THE PROPERTY TAX,
ANY INDICATION HE WILL KEEP IT
IN THE RANGE?
OR COULD WE SEE SOMETHING
BIGGER? THAT'S LOOKING A
LITTLE FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD
HOWEVER EVEN THIS BUDGET STILL
