Thank you to our Southwest Side aldermen--Alderman Raymond Lopez, Alderman Silvana Tabares, Alderman Marty Quinn and Alderman Derrick Curtis for standing together with their City Council colleagues to push back against our mayor's plans to raise property taxes. The mayor's 2025 budget passed, barely, but almost half of the Council proved they will not roll over for our tax-and-spend mayor.

I voted "No" on Mayor Johnson's irresponsible budget because Chicagoans are done with their tax dollars being used on pet projects that accomplish little beyond creating positions and adding people to the payroll.

The mayor could have right-sized government and protected residents’ tax dollars. Instead, he is bankrupting our city.

The mayor can claim victory, but Chicagoans lost today. This administration likes to say they “invest in people.” I say it’s time we listen to people.

In the spirit of holiday giving, our friends at All Exterior Contractors and One Stop Appliance Repair are working together to help folks in need in a rather unique way.
If you live in the 60638 ZIP code, own a clothes washer and/or dryer--but it's broken and you can't afford to get it fixed, simply send a text to Geno Randazzo at 708-705-7900 or send him a message via FB. Give your name, address and explain your situation (your washer or dryer's model and the specific problem). You will receive up to $200 worth of parts and labor. (One per household.)
This offer is only for people who are having financial difficulty and simply can't afford to get their washer or dryer repaired.
This generous offer is good only until December 20, so reach out now to get on the repair schedule. Please note that 90% of all repairs will be LESS than $200. If you qualify, you will receive services, not cash.
This is the second year Geno and Jim are making this generous offer. Last year, more than 20 people in 60638 were helped in their time of need.
A big tip of the cap to Geno and Jim, two local business owners with hearts. 🙂
