Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday demanded the administration of President Donald Trump to reduce concerns on late night order, which was to free federal funding, but details about how Chicago’s budget will be affected. Could not give
At the City Hall News Conference, the mayor legally shot the memorandum released by the Budget Office of the White House on Monday evening. But he and his budget director refused to explain how much Chicago could be at risk of about $ 4 billion in the grant, or whether the memo can eliminate federal funds for red line extensions.
“This is something that is out of the purview of the executive office,” the mayor said, who said that he spoke with the Illinois sensor. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth on Tuesday morning. “These appropriations have been made mandatory by the legislative branch. These are laws. ,
Johnson’s budget director, Annett Guzman, said that his office is analyzing the effect, but the scope was not explained in detail that “further excavation” is required.
Gujman said, “It all comes as understanding the validity of orders to start.” “This is the same concept that we are seeing, such as whether these (executive orders) have authority over the expenses of the Congress.”
The Mayor and his team also ignored the question whether he would appear before the Congress in response to an invitation from GOP Rape James Comer, R-Ten to testify at the Oversite Committee on Sanctuary City policies.
His corporation’s lawyer, Mary Richardson-Lovori said, “I am honorablely disagree” with a letter from Comer but said that until the legal review of his office was over, it was “prematurely” to comment on his invitation till the legal review of his office was over.
