مستخلص: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has faced challenges and criticism during his first year in office. He has made requests for increased funding for Chicago Public Schools, a new stadium for the Chicago Bears, lead service line replacements, and more state tax revenue. However, he has not pushed for significant changes to state tax law to raise the revenue needed to reshape the city. Johnson has had to build relationships with skeptics, particularly in the business community, in order to deliver on his promises and gain support for his progressive agenda. He has made legislative victories but will need to find new streams of tax revenue or reconsider his promise to not raise property taxes in order to achieve his long-term goals. Johnson has defended his support for the Bears' stadium proposal and believes it aligns with his progressive agenda. He has also emphasized his efforts to benefit the business community and build relationships with business leaders. Johnson's ability to find new revenue and maintain support from various stakeholders will be crucial for his success as mayor. [Extracted from the article]
