>> One of Mayor Brandon Johnson's major legislative accomplishments will stand.

That is after Chicago City Council failed to override his veto.

Keeping the phase out of the tipped minimum wage on track.

Let's listen to some of that debate before the vote.

>> Chicago.

And so that's why we have to stand up today and do what's right instead of doing with politically you bake, if making sure that people can afford their rent and pay their bills and put food in their refrigerator.

>> Is not a politically correct thing to do.

It's a human thing to do.

It's a tough thing to do.

the right thing to >> And our Heather Sharon joins us now with more.

Heather, what does today's vote mean for Chicago workers who earn tips?

Well, it means that they will get an 8% raise on July first.

And as of now, that tip to minimum wage, which means that they earn about $3.50 less than other hourly workers in Chicago making the minimum wage is on track to be stays out late July 2028, when everybody will be have to pay minimum wage, which is right now 16 60 but rise with inflation over the next couple of years.

The mayor appeared to relish this fight her.

Why would we know?

Well, she ran for mayor all the way back in 2023.

Vowing to champion Chicago's working people in specifically those in the working class.

And these are people who work at restaurants that are not fancy in downtown or in Lincoln Park.

And relished this fight to say, look, I'm standing up for black women for Latina women who are often the ones who rely on tips to make up that minimum wage.

And I think we're going hear a lot about it as he prepares to run for a second term course.

So while the city council put this issue on ICE, at least for the moment, 2 other hot button issues did not get a vote today.

What happened?

Well, there's an effort to speed the creation of video gambling terminals in bars and restaurants across Chicago.

Supporters of that change want the city to step up efforts to get licenses, want state officials sort give the green light to those bars and restaurant that was blocked from a vote today.

Also blocked from a vote.

Today is a measure designed to help CPD rid its Officers with ties to extremist anti-government organizations like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, both are likely to come back for a vote at the next city Council meeting but we'll have to wait a month for a final vote on because I know those are 2 issues even keeping an eye her.

Have it here.

Wbtw news will hear about later.

>> Sharon, thanks so much.

Thanks.

Brandis.
