Chicago doesn't have a resource problem, it has an outdated playbook. Past leaders made decisions to manage an entirely different era with different crises. 

Co-written alongside The People during 2.5 years of listening and 4 months of research and calculation, welcome to the framework that will upgrade how Chicago operates. In this video, we break down why fixing our city isn’t about raising your taxes, it’s about bringing modern management to City Hall. The Audit & Exchange is a systematic approach to managing the city: we audited the systemic inefficiencies of an outdated playbook and reallocated funds for direct, localized neighborhood investments.

Dignity begins at Home. As a Manager, I looked at the books. Right now, Chicago budgets for thousands of 'Ghost Vacancies'. While keeping these funds dormant was traditionally used as a budget cushion, today’s families need that relief directly and right now. 

The Audit: By retiring just 500-700 of these long-empty desks, we safely unlock 45 million dollars in dormant capital.

The Exchange: ​That is enough to provide over 12,000 family caregivers a 3,500 dollar credit. For homeowners, that’s a direct property tax credit. For renters, we are structuring it as a matching housing credit passed directly through to lower your rent.

​We aren't raising taxes; we’re just moving money from empty chairs to your kitchen table.
