"Voters Reject Tax Referendum to Fund Homeless Services in Illinois Primary"

Chicago voters rejected a referendum proposed by Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson that would have increased taxes on more expensive homes to fund services for the homeless, with 46.8% voting yes and 53.2% voting no. The "Bring Chicago Home" tax aimed to generate around $100 million annually by raising transfer levies on real estate over $1 million, but opponents argued it would burden struggling commercial property owners. The city, grappling with a large influx of migrants, has been evicting thousands from shelters due to resource strain.
