Reporter William J. Kelly’s Birthday GoFundMe
Mayor Brandon Johnson is spending money like it’s water—but it’s not. And now Chicagoans are drowning in debt. His reckless spending, backroom deals, and refusal to answer questions have left the city on the brink. People fear his out-of-control spending will bankrupt Chicago, and he won’t even say where the money is going.
Johnson’s $17.1 billion budget triggered an S&P credit downgrade. Chicago is sliding toward financial disaster, yet he keeps spending with zero transparency.
More than $600 million went to just two migrant shelter vendors.
Hundreds of millions more? Johnson won’t say. His $830 million infrastructure plan sticks taxpayers with $2 billion in debt—because he refuses to make payments while in office.
Where did the money go? We need Reporter William J. Kelly to investigate and expose the truth.
Reporter William J. Kelly is one of the last real investigative journalists in Chicago—and he won’t back down. He’s asking the tough questions that no one else will. But he can’t do it without you.
For his birthday, please support so he can report.
