CHICAGO — Mayoral candidates Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson differed on taxes, schools and the privatization of public resources during a robust forum Saturday largely dedicated to women’s issues.
Perhaps the most spirited exchanges between the two were over how to raise money to fund programs and the fallout over governments privatizing services.
Johnson, asked to address his own taxation plan that includes a $4-per-employee head tax on Chicago companies, raising the hotel tax and implementing a fuel tax, said he would always tell residents the “truth.”
