At roughly 0.1% of the city's recently passed $16.77 billion budget, the initial cost of Mayor Brandon Johnson's effort to begin reopening Chicago's city-run mental health clinics is minuscule.
Those behind the 'Treatment Not Trauma' campaign would have a right to be skeptical. Mayors Richard M. Daley and Rahm Emanuel both closed mental-health clinics, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot backed away from a campaign promise to reopen the city-run facilities, arguing instead that funding third-party clinics was a more effective use of resources.
