LIGHTFOOT 2021 BUDGET OVERVIEW LETTER FROM THE MAYOR My Fellow Chicagoans, It is an honor to present to you the City of Chicago’s budget for fiscal year 2021. This $12.8 billion budget represents our roadmap toward a fiscally responsible recovery from the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, as well as a moral document rooted in our core values of equity, transparency and inclusion, and our ongoing mission to expand opportunity and success across each of our city’s 77 communities. Just as with the COVID-19 crisis itself, the 2021 Budget is made up of difficult choices as our nation and our entire world continue to grapple with the ongoing impact of this once-in-a-century global pandemic. Here in Chicago, this virus has cost the lives of thousands of our residents, and upended the financial security of countless others, particularly the tens of thousands already living on the edge of unemployment, health care, hunger, and more. Creating a budget under these extraordinary circumstances presents us with enormous challenges absent of simple solutions or quick fixes. Yet, rather than overwhelming us, it has only enhanced our resolve to use this moment as an opportunity to further our work in creating the long-term structural solutions needed to make our government more responsive to our communities and businesses in a holistic and inclusive way. To do this, we embarked on a robust community engagement campaign to hear from residents and organizations about their highest priorities. We also leveraged funding from the CARES Act and undertook other targeted measures to supplement our investments in historically disinvested communities across key areas like mental health and violence prevention. We developed revenues and efficiencies that met both our policy and financial goals, and that would aid our longer-term recovery, rather than hinder it. And we also shouldered some very difficult choices regarding our workforce on account of COVID-19’s financial impact. No matter how challenging or painful, each decision we made was guided by our core values which prioritized the long-term health and well-being of our families, communities, and small businesses. It’s those values that have guided us throughout the turbulence and uncertainty of this crisis, and it’s because of those values that—despite this unprecedented moment—I continue to feel hopeful and inspired about our future. That is because I am confident those values will continue to carry us forward now, in the choices we face today, and in the challenges and successes that await us in the months and years to come. Sincerely, Mayor Lori E.
