"Chicago Voters Reject 'Mansion Tax' for Homeless Services in Illinois Primary"

Chicago voters have rejected a proposed one-time real estate tax on properties over $1 million, intended to fund services for homeless people, in a blow to Mayor Brandon Johnson. The tax aimed to generate $100 million annually for homeless services, but faced opposition from real estate groups who argued it unfairly targeted commercial properties. Despite legal challenges, the Illinois Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal. Similar measures have been approved in other cities, including Los Angeles and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

"2024 Cook County State's Attorney Race Too Close to Call"

The race for the Democratic Party's nominee for Cook County State's Attorney in Illinois remains too close to call, with Eileen O'Neill Burke holding a narrow lead over Clayton Harris. With 99% of precincts reporting, they are separated by roughly 9,000 votes, and mail-in ballots are still being processed. The Chicago Board of Elections expects a clearer picture by the weekend, and noted shockingly low voter turnout of only 20% of registered voters in Chicago. The race is closely watched as both candidates seek to replace incumbent Kim Foxx, with former Ald. Bob Fioretti as the lone Republican on the ballot and Andrew Charles Kopinski representing the Libertarian party in November.
