Alders rejected Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposal to reinstate Chicago's corporate head tax to raise roughly $100 million annually. Chicago previously had a head tax from 1973-2014, when then-Mayor Emanuel eliminated it. Now the proposal to reverse course remains one of the biggest hurdles to passing next year's $16.6 billion budget. We're discussing the support and opposition in the City Council. Plus, National Guard troops may be leaving Chicagoland, and the area's holiday markets are ready for their comeback.   Good News: Invisible Institute event on 11/20 Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Send us a textHere's a conversation with a broadcast veteran who's spent nearly 30 years in large-market media—hosting radio, interviewing icons like Eminem, Mike Tyson, Jim Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, and now operating on the executive side with a global music brand.

Expect real talk on partnerships, rights, monetization, and measuring what matters across broadcast, YouTube, and socials.His community work runs just as deep. Through Monrovia's public access network KGEM-TV, he developed civic programming—City Council and School Board recaps, How to Run for Office, Digital Dialogues—and produced events like House Party at the Park to bring neighbors together. He's launching commUNITY reIMAGINED and hopes to expand DREAM CHASERS career day in the SGV, connecting students with creative-industry pros.Recognition followed: a national honor from the Alliance for Community Media (Jewell Ryan White award for cultural diversity) and a role as city delegate in bringing the All-America City award home to Monrovia.

Tauranga City Council has confirmed the roads were only scheduled for resealing if they were showing early signs of surface deterioration. The Council's Head of Transport, Mike Seabourne, says resurfacing the roads with asphalt would have been too expensive. "One of the elements for us is - the asphalt is used in certain circumstances, like on intersections or with heavy vehicles, it's really good for that.
