Will Donald Trump upset Lori Lightfoot’s budget?

Ka-ching, k-not?

Is this a case from the odious to the obvious?

Sneed hears Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is no fan of President Donald Trump’s, may be in line for a hot foot from our president.

• To wit: Included in Lightfoot’s massive city budget expectation is $163 million FEDERAL dollars in ambulance service reimbursements based on the feds rewriting a section of the Medicaid formula.
• Translation: Political insiders are betting the ranch the Trump administration will nix the cash by turning a thumbs-down to approval of the formula rewrite by the U.S. Department of Human Services.

Why? It’s pretty obvious this president, who is consistently bashing Chicago, doesn’t forget slights.

And Lightfoot’s decision NOT to greet Trump at the airport Monday, his first trip to Chicago since his 2016 election, probably stung.

As a top Dem politico noted: “Even during the dark days of Watergate, Mayor Richard J. Daley greeted Republican President Richard Nixon at the airport when he visited Chicago.

Who dat?

Hmm.

A Sneed reader spotted a Cadillac SUV bearing the license plate, “D LT GOV,” recently driving down Interstate 94.

Is it new Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton’s car? Nope.

Hmm.

Does a prior lieutenant governor need to update his plate? Just asking.

Library love . . .

From marked man to clean slate?

Question: What’s the highest debt held by any single library user since the city decided to erase all late fees three weeks ago?

Answer: $631.60.

• Upshot: The delinquent dude still hasn’t brought back the books since the library’s no-more-late-fees policy has been in place.
• Buckshot: He may be off the hook, but he can’t check any more books out until the library gets its stuff back.
• Book shot: Hundreds of readers who returned long-overdue items have boosted the library system’s return rate by 240%.
