Chicago mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson clears city debts.

Chicago mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson paid off more than $3,000 in water and sewer bills to the city after facing criticism over his handling of his personal finances. Johnson initially claimed the bills were on a payment plan, but later paid them off and attacked rival Paul Vallas. The controversy is an embarrassment for Johnson, who has accused Vallas of mismanaging school districts across the country but now is facing similar questions.
