Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to get rid of the controversial gunshot detection program, saying it's too expensive and doesn't actually help fight crime.

"The mayor referenced the veto because the thing that passed is in violation of the Separation of Powers Act," Chicago Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry said at the same press conference. "The legislative branch cannot compel the executive branch to act, hence the item is a vetoable item and the mayor is going to exercise that privilege."
