Chicago city government

Chicago's city government is led by the Mayor, who oversees city operations and policies. The City Council, composed of elected aldermen from various districts, makes laws and approves budgets. Departments like police, fire, and public works manage daily services. The government operates under a framework that includes elected officials and administrative agencies working together to provide services, ensure safety, and manage city resources. Local taxes and fees fund these services, and the government aims to address community needs through legislation, programs, and strategic planning.
