The recent hearings on the Lurie Administration's budget proposals have unveiled a list detailing $600 million in impending cuts, which predominantly affect services relied upon by vulnerable populations. Sup. Connie Chan noted the city’s management has significantly expanded, dwarfed by minimal growth in line worker positions, resulting in an unbalanced workforce. The proposed cuts will severely compromise community-based organizations and essential services, notably in legal aid and healthcare for marginalized groups, leading to potential fallout on public welfare across the city.
As the supes started hearings on the Lurie Administration's budget proposals today, the People's Budget Coalition released a list of where some $600 million worth of cuts and budget redirections would hit hardest.
Sup. Connie Chan, who chairs the Budget and Appropriations Committee, said at the first hearing today that the city has too many high-paid managers.
