LOGAN SQUARE — A pair of Northwest Side aldermen are hosting a town hall on Thursday so neighbors can learn more about Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s new budget and how it impacts them.
The town hall will be held at Avondale-Logandale Elementary School, 3212 W. George St. at 6:30 p.m. Doors will open at 6 p.m.
Lightfoot’s 2020 budget and its impact on Logan Square and surrounding communities will be focus.
The mayor’s first budget, announced Oct. 24, doesn’t hike taxes on Chicago property owners. It relies instead on state lawmakers to change the way it taxes property sales. Read more from The Daily Line.
The Logan Square town hall is being put on by Alds. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35th) and Daniel La Spata (1st) who also plan to discuss the “progressive revenue legislation” they support.
Ramirez-Rosa is also holding another budget-focused town hall with 33rd Ward Ald. Rosanna Rodriguez-Sanchez. That event is set for 6:30 p.m. Nov. 14 at the American Indian Center at 3401 W. Ainslie St.
