@abc7chicago: Mayor Brandon Johnson will oversee a special meeting of the City Council as he tries again to pass his proposed $830 million bond. Mayor Johnson said bond he's hoping to pass would pay for critical infrastructure improvements across the city. The City Council is expected to vote on the massive proposal during the meeting, but it's not clear if Johnson has enough of the necessary support to pass it. Johnson says a "significant" portion of the funds would go to projects like bridge repairs and replacements, street resurfacing, sidewalk maintenance and more. A vote on the bond was delayed during last week's council meeting, with some council members criticizing the bond's repayment schedule, which calls for interest-only payments until 2045.
