Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Pushes 'Grocery Tax'

Chicago is facing a massive budget gap, and its mayor has a possible solution.

But it's not one that's sitting well with all retailers.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wants "to reinstate a 1% grocery tax" in Chicago, according to Fox 32. Johnson's push for the tax came after Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker eliminated it in the state budget, the television station reported.

The Chicago Tribune also reported that Johnson "is pushing aldermen to add a city grocery tax in Chicago as the long-established state grocery levy expires.
