>> Mayor Brandon Johnson and older people return to city Hall today after a break for Thanksgiving.

But there is still no clear path to a budget deal with just 28 days left before the deadline, a group of city council members opposed to Johnson's plan to reimpose the so-called head tax released an alternative plan today that would nearly double garbage fees for most residents.

But Johnson flatly rejected that proposal.

>> The vast majority of the people in the city are struggling every single day just to make the ends meet.

We have all that are playing games with those families.

Give me something that can work with.

But challenging the ultra-rich in this country.

To put more skin in the game.

That should not be considered a radical idea.

>> Or head to Sharon joins us now with more head of the mayor visibly frustrated and emotional there.

He has been asking critic critics of his budget for weeks to propose their own spending plan in today.

26 numbers.

26 of 50.

They did that.

How it work?

Well, it's complicated, but it would eliminate that had tax which would impose a $21 per month per employee on corporations with more than 100 employees in Chicago.

And that would help fill the gap that that creates by raising garbage can use for the first time since that fee was imposed in 2016.

>> Right now, Chicagoans pay 9.50 to get their trash and recyclables talk the way that would go up for most residents to $18 to generate 55 million dollars.

But we heard today from the mayor that that is nonstarter.

So the plan from the mayor's critics also relies on new taxes to increase pension payments and reduce borrowing.

What would they tax?

So they want to tax liquor.

They would impose a fee on off premises purchases generate 24 million dollars.

Interesting.

Last year, Johnson proposed a similar increase on liquor taxes that ran into a brick wall of opposition and he dropped it.

His original budget plan also increase the size, the area downtown, where if hail Uber or Lyft, you're going to pay a surcharge to reduce congestion.

Originally, he wanted to generate nearly 68 million dollars by expanding that zone.

That also rain into an opposition earlier this year.

So we drop that shrinking it back down.

Now, his critics say put that back in the budget OK?

So he's promised to veto any budget that hikes garbage fees and dare to the city council to try and override him.

Why's he so opposed to that Well, somebody is going to have to pay more to fill the city's nearly 1.2 billion dollar budget deficit and Johnson says it should not be working class Chicagoans who are already struggling to put food on the table and to pay the rent.

He says the obvious answer is that corporations got just got a big federal tax cut should pay more to make sure that Chicagoans don't have to struggle even harder.

However, 26 members of the city Council narrow but clear majority told him today that that's a nonstarter.

Mayor and city council the running out of time to make a deal.

Heather, what's next?

Well, it is really unclear how everybody gets out of the corners that they've all painted themselves into, right?

Because time is running short and there are not a lot of good options.

It's unclear whether the mayor will be able to break this logjam at the next city council meeting set
