Rauner predicts that Rahm won’t be mayor in 2023
Governor Bruce Rauner doesn’t think Mayor Rahm Emanuel will have a fourth term as mayor based on how he’s planning to pay for pension contributions—with proposed tax increases on water and sewer services. “Who’s not going to be mayor in 2023?” Rauner said at an event. “The current mayor is not going to be mayor in 2023. . . . All this is a system to dump the problem into the next elected official, no change, no protection of taxpayers, no fundamental reform.” [Tribune]
