- CHICAGO (CBS) -- The City Council on Wednesday delayed a final vote on Mayor Brandon Johnson's request for another $70 million in funding to provide shelter and other services to thousands of asylum seekers in Chicago.
The City Council Budget Committee approved the funding request on Monday on a 20-8 vote, setting it up for final approval on Wednesday. But Budget Committee Chair Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) moved during Wednesday's full City Council meeting to delay that final vote.
The full City Council will meet again on Friday afternoon to take up the funding request.
The city already has budgeted $150 million to care for migrants this year, but the mayor's office has acknowledged that won't be enough for the entire year.
The request for $70 million more is part of the original spending plan Gov. JB Pritzker's office said was discussed back in February when the governor and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced they would invest a combined $250 million to help fund the migrant mission, which they said, along with the Johnson administration, anticipated would cost $321 million for shelter and services this calendar year.

Anybody want to take this bet.The next democratic mayoral candidate will be Latino.
what about funding so Chicagoans can go to work safely without fear of being robbed at gun point?
F Mayor Brandon Johnson he needs to be in jail
And throw away the key!!!
All this decay, lawlessness and anarchy started when Trump was elected as president.
Remember this Chicago come election time
If anyone is still considering voting for Biden come to Chicago
Yes
Every last coucil member need to be voted out ,including the mayor..this is ridicouls..but they didn't have money for the black community..
You can’t allocate money based on race or poverty, you allocate money based on needs and solving issues. Unfortunately these are the modern problems for every major metropolitan area when millions have invaded our country illegally. It’s the same story over and over again and that is the story of the have and have not. No matter how much money you throw at poor people when it’s all spent they will need more…..Until you change their education levels and mindset you can’t change the problem and systems in place. When you know better you can do better.
This goes for Americans as well!
It's the mindset! Throwing money at a population who are NOT really asylees😡
All this decay, lawlessness and anarchy started when Trump was elected as president.
Let the citizens of Chicago pay for this. Keep sending them to Chicago!
Great speaker at 38:58 minutes in. Too bad they shut her off and kicked her out.
70 million approved but where is it All going to? 24 million was lost in L.A. homelessness money ? That is a fair question.
Alderman Lopez is boss. Hes the best of the best!
Yo this guy is bold as heck he stands and speaks with his back turned when others have the floor
They may have voted for it, but every taxpayer is paying for it. Some are just fortunate enough, not experience this in our backyard.
It should not take two Whole Years just to get Mayor Brandon Johnson out of the Mayoral Office because this guy can do a whole lot more damage to Chicago than what he has already done : there should be a law that will have such politicians out of the office by the end of this year !
you folks voted for these politicians so what do you expect its your own fault.
I’m sorry…so because you all want to go home, you won’t continue to debate?!?
Yea, gotta go home.
Poor babies in City Council.
By chance is any of this money going to pay the Mayor's water bills?
They send all that money back to their countries
send them all back their using all our resourses plz remember their eating our childrens bread third world bring their third world over here!! go homeback to valenzuela eetc etc!!!
Complete BS what about the people who been here for years in poverty, veterans etc..kids getting on public transportation to go miles away to and from school while there parents working minimum wage. Park districts are closed after school programs closed, schools closed smh
They too had access to the same resources.... housing, food stamps, healthcare, etc.
Veterans get their own services through the VA.
All this decay, lawlessness and anarchy started when Trump was elected as president.
