芝加哥市长 Johnson 将提交2027年预算：拟举债约4.8亿美元支付警务和解金，和解与判决成本料增2.66亿美元
位于伊利诺伊州库克县的芝加哥市，市长 Brandon Johnson 定于周三（10月21日）向市议会发表预算演讲，提交2027年预算。据《芝加哥论坛报》提前获得的方案细节，市府明年的和解与判决支出预计增加2.66亿美元，其中大部分与警察不当行为案件有关。
按论坛报报道的方案，市府拟举债约4.8亿美元支付和解金，包括约2.6亿美元用于前警探 Reynaldo Guevara 相关案件、1.2亿美元用于2026年已批准的和解，以及1亿美元用于预计2027年达成的和解；债务将在五至七年内偿还。市议会本月早些时候曾一致批准一笔2.608亿美元的和解，涵盖16宗与 Guevara 有关的诉讼。市长发言人 Allison Novelo 对论坛报表示，利息成本取决于未来市场条件，未给出估算。
Johnson 把这份预算称为「公平份额」（Fair Share）计划，方案还包括恢复人头税等增收安排。预算演讲后，市议会将按程序审议并表决2027年预算。（据《芝加哥论坛报》报道、经 Chicago Patriot 10月21日汇总整理）
Chicago Mayor Johnson to Present 2027 Budget: Plan Would Borrow About $480 Million for Police Settlements as Settlement and Judgment Costs Rise by a Projected $266 Million
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, in Cook County, Illinois, is scheduled to address the City Council on Wednesday, October 21, to present his 2027 budget. According to details obtained by the Chicago Tribune ahead of the address, the city's costs for settlements and judgments are projected to rise by $266 million next year, most of it the price of police misconduct cases.
The Tribune reports the plan would borrow about $480 million: roughly $260 million for the cases tied to former detective Reynaldo Guevara, $120 million for settlements approved in 2026 and $100 million for settlements expected in 2027, with the debt repaid over five to seven years. Earlier this month, the City Council unanimously approved a single $260.8 million settlement covering 16 lawsuits tied to Guevara. Asked what the interest would cost, mayoral press secretary Allison Novelo declined to estimate it, telling the paper it would depend on future market conditions.
Johnson calls the plan his "Fair Share" budget; it also revives a head tax as part of its revenue arrangements. After the budget address, the City Council will take up the 2027 budget through its normal review and voting process.
