芝加哥2027年预算听证周一开场：8.824亿美元缺口与市长增收方案受审

伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市议会预算与政府运作委员会将于11月2日（周一）上午10时开启2027财年预算部门听证，市预算管理局、财政局与首席财务官办公室将率先到场，说明市长 Brandon Johnson 填补8.824亿美元预计预算缺口的方案。此后两周多，全市各部门将轮流到会陈述支出与运作计划。

Johnson 上周公布的增收方案包括：体育博彩税率从10.25%提高到20%（预计增收3,700万美元）；个人财产租赁交易税从15%提高到20%（预计增收2.34亿美元）；对非医疗、非食品类容器与包装每件征收0.15美元新税（预计增收900万美元）；外带酒类销售税提高到3%（预计增收1,380万美元）；另设「公平雇主税」，对市内雇员达125人以上的企业按每名员工每月0.25美元征税，估算可筹约1.02亿美元，但已有多名市议员表态反对。

听证还将追问市府申请4.8亿美元发债授权的计划——这笔钱拟用于支付警务不当案件的和解与判决赔偿，其中包括与 Reynaldo Guevara 系列冤案相关的2.6亿美元整体和解。首席财务官 Ashlee Gabrysch 表示，和解方案预计可比旷日持久的诉讼节省3亿至4亿美元。上周五，委员会已先行就咨询公司安永提出的节支增效建议落实情况举行了听证。

Chicago Budget Hearings Open Monday on Mayor's Plan to Close $882.4 Million Gap

The Chicago City Council's Committee on Budget and Government Operations opens departmental budget hearings at 10 a.m. Monday, November 2, with the Office of Budget and Management, the Department of Finance and the chief financial officer's office presenting Mayor Brandon Johnson's plan to close a projected $882.4 million budget gap for 2027. Hearings with every city department will run for more than two weeks.

The mayor's revenue plan would raise the sports wagering tax from 10.25 to 20 percent (an estimated $37 million), lift the personal property lease transaction tax from 15 to 20 percent ($234 million), add a 15-cent tax on non-medical, non-food containers and packages ($9 million), raise the off-premises liquor tax to 3 percent ($13.8 million), and levy an 'Equitable Employer Tax' of 25 cents per employee per month on firms with 125 or more Chicago employees (nearly $102 million) — a proposal many alderpeople already oppose.

Alderpeople are also expected to press the administration on its plan to seek $480 million in borrowing authority to cover settlements of police misconduct cases, including a $260 million global settlement tied to the Reynaldo Guevara cases. Chief Financial Officer Ashlee Gabrysch said the settlements are expected to save the city $300 to $400 million compared with continued litigation.
